The Dread Doctor

We quietly await our first customer today. It has been slow on the page but not in the studio.
Lots to do at the moment, and social media has never been my strong point. Just like many small businesses I wear all the hats for every part of my business. Throw a few major life events in there and you realize that social media doesn't matter. It's ok. It will always be there.
So here we are having just a little moment like we often do before the day fully begins 🙏❤️

We are back with force 💪 After what has been such a painful few months after losing my Mum, I am glad to say I am back in the studio and it was great to take on this challenge to really ground myself back into my work. This lovely client suffered some hair loss after a period of illness. This can sometimes happen due to a lowered immune system. We had attached some a few weeks back and this session was about getting the rest nice and secured back where they belong.
So just a bit of background. The hair had thinned which meant that some dreads had literally just fallen off. Then we had to wait until enough hair started to re-grow. When it was long enough we could lock the roots again and attach the old dreads.
It's a lot of work but worth it 🙏❤️

Dear followers,
I have had to cancel appointments this week due to the very sudden and unexpected passing of my Mother.
I have tried to make sure that I have reached out to everyone but there is always the concern that someone has been missed. Please get in touch if you have an appointment with me and I have not contacted you yet.
Thank you
Susan

Guess who's in the studio today 😀

A fabulous tidy up of these rather impressive long dreads. What a great blether it was too 🙏

A wee dread cut. The first cut is always unnerving for most people but in my experience is welcomed with a sense of lightness and freedom afterwards. It is never as bad as anyone thinks it will be and your scalp will thank you 🙏

Anyone who has come to the house may have gazed upon our archway covered in clematis, tayberry and sweetpea. Last night's turbulence was too much for it by the looks of things. I had a feeling it was going to go. They're pretty tough plants and can handle a heavy prune but the arch was cheapo and definitely no match for that wind. It lasted way longer than I expected.

For anyone who hasn't seen our lovely Magnus in a while, here is your fix. One of his favourite snacks is carrot. Although he isn't allowed them at the moment due to being on an elimination diet. So this was snapped when he had his last one for a while.

An easy tidy up for this lovely customer.

A few of you have benefitted from some hand picked blueberries from my garden if you have been for a home visit. Not something that you would usually get to enjoy at the studio 😄
Thanks to all who have come to the house while I navigate such a challenging schedule with looking after my elderly dog. Magnus and I appreciate it. He can no longer manage repeatedly getting into a vehicle to get to work and my husband's schedule is generally insane over the summer so my time in the studio is limited.
Don't worry, if I haven't said anything about home visits to you then it will always be a studio appointment.
I hope everyone is having a mellow Sunday. The sun is taking a wee break here and the plants are enjoying some rain.
