ModLocks Love

“Absolutely love Modlocks! I wouldn’t go any where else.”

“Karen started my dreads 7 years ago and continues to do them today. I wouldn't go any where else. The environment is relaxing and calm. Karen is the best in her business and takes pride in her work, which is so obvious when you see the end result. Karen started out as my "hairdresser" and has become a friend in the process. If you want the best, she's the one to see! Some others try but don't even come close! If you want the best go to the best, the one who taught the others. Go see Karen!” - Di

“I would recommend Karen wholeheartedly whether you are getting new locks, extensions or repair and maintenance of existing dreads”

“Had a lovely day with Karen. She made great dreadlocks from scratch with her able hands and vast knowledge and experience. They are exactly as I wanted them to be. The experience was seamless and I was in good hands from start to finish. The day flew by. Communication with her was great from the moment I reached out. She is a lovely person and easy to spend a day with. I would recommend Karen wholeheartedly whether you are getting new locks, extensions or repair and maintenance of existing dreads. Thanks so much, Karen!” - Maureen

“I can not recommend her enough.”

“5 years ago almost to the day, I met Karen of modlocks for my new venture with locks. My graying hair and some other life events led me to her chair. Karen's professionalism, skill, direct and honest approach combined with her good humour and care make her an exceptional stylist. Deciding to get and maintain this hairstyle is a journey and a commitment. Having Karen to engage with throughout is a pleasure. I can not recommend her enough. - Anna
