Medusa's Dreadalicious

💜 A wee update for all current and future clients 💜

There still seems to be a little confusion around where I’m currently working, so I just wanted to clear things up.

I am no longer working at the hair salon. I finished up there at the end of May, and for the foreseeable future Medusa’s Dreadalicious is fully home-based in Stoke for all appointments.

A wee reminder that deposits are still required for all dreadlock maintenance and dreadlock colour appointments. Because I no longer have the luxury of a salon behind me, these deposits are important to protect me from being left out of pocket when someone cancels last minute or simply doesn’t show up.

I also need to be really clear about consult appointments. If you repeatedly muck me around, don’t show up, cancel last minute or waste my time with your consult appointments, unfortunately you will not remain a client of mine. You will be removed from my database indefinitely. First impressions are everything right?

And lastly, please understand that working from home does not mean I’m available 24/7 or completely flexible. I still have a family, a household and my own life to look after. I need to make time for my kids and for myself too.

I absolutely love what I do and I love having you all as my clients 🖤 But I also need to have boundaries around my time, my home and my business.

So please respect the booking policies, deposits and appointment times. It makes everything run a whole lot smoother for everyone. 🖤

Thank you to all of you who continue to support my little home-based business- I appreciate you more than you know! 🖤

🐍✨ MEDUSA’S DREADALICIOUS HAS UPGRADED! ✨🐍

Wellllll… Medusa’s Dreadalicious has officially moved out of the lounge and into the craft room! 👌🖤

And honestly… I am OBSESSED. 😍

It’s peaceful, tranquil and absolutely bloody amazing to work in. I can shut the household out, close the door, and step away from the crazy chaos of everyday life for a little while. 🙌

There’s something so nice about having a dedicated little space where I can completely switch into Medusa mode 🐍 and just focus on creating, maintaining and working my magic on those beautiful locs.

I’m SO excited to work in this room and make it my own. 💜🖤

New room. Same Medusa. More peace. More creativity. More dreadalicious goodness! 😍🐍

✨ Yesterday’s antics ✨

A full root-to-ends maintenance on this beautiful lady’s locs! 😍🖤

And the best part… ALL her own hair, no extensions!

It had been a whole 18 months since her locs had some proper love and attention, so they were well overdue for a little of Medusas magic! 🐍🖤

I completely forgot to take a before photo because, honestly… I love my job WAY too much. 😂 I just get stuck in and before I know it, I’m halfway through!

There’s just something so satisfying about bringing those locs back to life and seeing the finished result. 🖤✨

Thank you for trusting me with your beautiful locs! 💜

Medusa's Dreadalicious 🐍🖤

This week has gone super fast yay for saturday its a morning of dreadlock maintenance today 🙌
Hope everyone has a great saturday

Happy Wednesday!

First day of the month — so give someone a pinch and a punch 🤣
…or just a smile if you’re choosing peace over violence today.

So what’s been happening behind the scenes at Medusa’s?
I’ve mostly been waiting (very impatiently) for the basin to arrive..... and it finally has 🎉
That means dreadlock soaks are officially back as a service.

👉 See the previous post for all the details.
Today’s mission: build the basin.
The instructions look simple… which usually means they are absolutely lying to me 😅
Worst case scenario, I do have another basin in the shed that’s half-built with missing parts, after I previously lost my s**t and banished it there never to be seen again 6 yrs ago. So between the two, we should win.

I’m also heading to see the awesome ladies at Nelson Hair & Beauty Distributors today so I can get colour in.... which means I can now offer colour services for your dreads 🌈
Please note: I won’t be stocking every colour like I did at the salon, but I’m more than happy to order specific colours in for you if needed.

Honestly, I’m absolutely loving working from home.
Life feels calmer, less stressful, and it shows.
I’ve even painted the laundry, so while your dreads are soaking it’s a much nicer space to relax in.

Looking ahead 👀
August we’ll be moving out of the lounge and into the dedicated dreadlock room 😊
That means I’ll be able to start making dreadlock extensions again, along with bubble braided hair ties.
I’m also creating many new things behind the scenes, including getting back into crystal wrapping, which I’m really excited about.
So Medusa’s will be more than just your one-stop dread place , I’ll also have beautiful crystal necklaces available to purchase, keep your eyes on upcoming posts for this.

As for the merch… well 😅
We’ve had some printing issues, and I’m working closely with the suppliers to get it sorted.
I just want the merch retail side of things to be absolutely perfect, so until we find that perfect solution, this is where it’s at for now.
But hey. I’m still smiling, and I feel like only a few extra grey hairs have come through because of it 🤣🖤
If this is my biggest stress right now, I’m still absolutely winning 🐍✨

Merch currently available 🖤
What I do have available to purchase directly from me right now is:
• 1 hoodie — size Medium — $99
• 1 grey t-shirt — size Small — $45
• 1 white t-shirt — size Medium — $45
👉 Please see the previous posts for the designs on these.
I’m really hoping the rest of the merch will arrive by the end of the month, as long as there are no further delays — so keep an eye on this space 🐍✨
More merch coming soon.
