Prices and costs for dreadlocks

When it comes to price, our philosophy is that we take your economic circumstances into account. So we don’t have fixed prices. We are aware that some people earn more than others. So it’s okay for those who have less money to pay a little less.

It is relatively difficult to estimate the exact cost in advance. We therefore suggest a price range in advance, which we tend to set high so that there are no unpleasant surprises. If the project is then completed faster than expected, we will of course adjust the price range downwards.

Factors that influence the effort / price:

• Length of hair
• Hair density
• Thickness of the dreadlocks
• Number of dreadlocks
• Felting properties of the hair (you can influence this)

“Twisting” a whole head is quite a lot of work and requires a lot of patience. We expect to pay around 800 to 1200 francs for a new head. There are very few customers with extremely long or extremely thick hair. In such cases, the price can also be a little higher.

However, it’s worth having new dreadlocks done by specialists to give your dreadlocks a good start to their hopefully long life.

If you only want the back of the head, then the price range is between 300 and 800 francs . This also depends on what you mean by “back of the head”. In other words, this means that there are more or fewer dreadlocks depending on the area at the back of the head that is to be dreaded.

It’s best if you send us a few pictures so we can see how much of the back of your head you would like to turn into dreadlocks. This allows us to narrow down the price range.

The price for top-head dreads depends on various factors: how large the area to be dreaded is (depending on how much is cut for side or undercut), how long and thick your hair is and how many dreadlocks there are. The price is usually between 300 and 600 francs, but can also be up to 750 francs.

Individual dreadlocks are made quickly. What often takes time, however, is the consultation and scheduling. You can expect to pay between 15 and 35 francs per dread. This also depends on how long your hair is.

Other factors are how many dreads you want and how they are distributed. For example, if you want a row of five dreadlocks next to each other, this is faster than if you want five dreadlocks spread over your head.

However, it can also happen that a customer only wants a single dreadlock, but needs a lot of advice – for example, because they are unsure exactly where it should be placed, how thick it should be or because there are many questions and uncertainties in general. In such cases, the appointment will take more time – even if it is only for a single dreadlock. A single dreadlock can therefore cost up to 50 francs.

To summarize: The price range is very wide. It’s best if you tell us exactly what you want so that we can narrow down the price range.

If you want extra thin dreads, we also need to know this in advance, as the effort is considerably greater!
