The Power of Change: Why We’ve Brought It All Under One Roof

For over a decade, Dread Love has meant more than just dreadlocks. It’s been a space for trust, transformation, healing, and care. Whether you've visited the studio in person or connected with our handmade products online, you've been part of something real.

Now, that something has grown — again. And I want to tell you exactly why.

One Brand. One Site. One Community.

Up until now, we’ve lived in two places online:

• One site for services: booking installs, maintenance, and consultations
• Another for products: where Mermaid’s Tail offered oils, sprays, and loc care goods

But it’s always been me. One creator. One studio. One vision. So it finally made sense to bring everything home to one place: www.dreadlove.net

Now, whether you're booking your next appointment or refilling your favorite scalp mist, you’re doing it in one space — the official digital home of Dread Love Studio + Mermaid’s Tail.

I’m Never Too Old to Learn Something New

To be honest, this process was a learning curve. Merging platforms, rethinking design, shifting content — it pushed me out of my comfort zone. But here’s the thing I’ve learned: you’re never too old to learn something new.

This wasn’t just a tech update. It was a personal evolution.

• I learned to trust my instincts — again.
• I learned that clarity is a form of care.
• And I learned that growth doesn’t mean starting over — it means building better.

This Is About You

Everything I’ve been able to do — every appointment booked, every product shipped, every custom loc journey — is because of you.

You supported the studio when it was just a quiet little room. You shopped from Mermaid’s Tail when it was still finding its voice. You trusted me with your crown and your confidence.

So this new chapter? It’s not just mine. It’s ours.

I’m so proud of what this has become — and I’m even more excited for what’s coming next.
