Find the Right Dreadlock Consultation for Your Hair

Your hair is the starting point—not the service menu.

Whether you need straightforward maintenance, help planning new dreadlocks or extensions, corrective work, or specialist support for thinning hair and alopecia, you do not have to diagnose the right service yourself.

Which description sounds most like your hair?

Choose the closest starting point. You will see the full eligibility information before being asked to pay.

Healthy existing dreadlocksI only need straightforward root maintenanceMy dreadlocks are established and healthy, with approximately one inch of regrowth and no corrective concerns. Planning or substantial workI need help planning the right serviceI am considering fresh dreadlocks, permanent extensions, repair, reconstruction or major changes. Vulnerable or complex hairI have thinning, alopecia or fragile areasMy hairline, density, scalp or existing dreadlocks require a deeper and more protective assessment.

Why does the assessment come first?

What looks like routine maintenance can sometimes involve weakened roots, unsuitable sectioning, accumulated damage or reconstruction needs.

The correct service should be determined by the condition, density and history of your hair—not simply by the appointment name that appears closest.

The method behind the assessment

Precision begins before the first dreadlock is created

Sectioning, density, root direction, weak areas, long-term hold and what the hair can realistically carry all need to be considered before work begins.

This assessment-led approach supports the Precision Intermatting Method™: a mapping-led, structure-aware method refined across delicate, complex and resistant hair types.

Explore the Precision Intermatting Method™

The tool alone is not the method.

Precision comes from how the hair is assessed, mapped, tensioned and built. The method is adapted to the condition and behaviour of the hair rather than forcing every client through the same process.

Healthy established dreadlocks only

Healthy Dreadlock Maintenance Assessment

For straightforward root maintenance where the existing dreadlocks and sectioning are healthy and established.

£69

Only choose this when all are true:

  • Your dreadlocks are healthy and established.
  • You have approximately one inch of regrowth.
  • Your sections remain clear and stable.
  • You require straightforward root maintenance.

Do not choose this route for:

  • Thinning, alopecia or fragile areas.
  • Excessive regrowth or merging.
  • Breakage, damage or weak roots.
  • Repair, reconstruction or corrective work.
Important: This is not a lower-cost route for complex work. If the condition of your dreadlocks is unclear, choose the Planning Consultation instead.

After payment, you will be guided to the assessment form.

Main planning route

Dreadlock Planning Consultation

For new dreadlocks, permanent extensions, repair, reconstruction or a starting point that requires proper service planning.

£120

This route is appropriate for:

  • Fresh dreadlocks.
  • Permanent dreadlock extensions.
  • Repair or reconstruction.
  • Grown-out previous sets.
  • Substantial changes or mixed starting points.

The consultation helps establish:

  • What your hair is realistically ready for.
  • The most appropriate service route.
  • What may need caution or should be avoided.
  • The work and next stage that may be required.
Choose this when: you need a proper plan before committing to a new set, extensions, substantial repair or corrective work.
Book the £120 Consultation

After payment, you will be guided to the assessment form.

Deeper specialist assessment

Advanced Case Consultation

For vulnerable or higher-risk starting points requiring deeper consideration before permanent work is planned.

£199

This route is intended for:

  • Thinning hair or significant hair loss.
  • Alopecia or traction alopecia.
  • Fragile hairlines and weak edges.
  • Bald spots, sparse or vulnerable areas.
  • Compromised hair and higher-risk cases.

The deeper assessment considers:

  • Your photographs and relevant hair history.
  • Current condition and structural limitations.
  • What the hair may safely carry.
  • What may realistically be achievable.
  • The most protective route forward.
This is specialist planning, not a promise that every service will be suitable. The purpose is to establish what may be safe and appropriate for your actual starting point.
Book the £199 Consultation

After payment, you will be guided to the advanced assessment form.

Still uncertain?

You are not expected to know whether your hair needs maintenance, repair, reconstruction or something more specialist.

Healthy and straightforward: choose £69.
Planning, extensions, repair or uncertainty: choose £120.
Thinning, alopecia or vulnerable areas: choose £199.

Investment

Why quotations follow assessment

Service prices depend on what your hair actually requires. Straightforward maintenance may begin from around £100, while extensions, reconstruction, corrective work and specialist transformations can range from hundreds into thousands.

Your consultation allows the required work to be understood before a meaningful quotation or package option is provided.

Location and reach

Frequently asked questions

Before you begin

What if I am unsure which consultation I need?
If your dreadlocks are not clearly healthy, established and ready for straightforward root maintenance, do not select £69 simply because it costs less. Choose £120 for repair, extensions, reconstruction or uncertainty. Choose £199 when thinning, alopecia, hair loss or vulnerable areas are involved.
How does the consultation process work?
After payment, complete the relevant assessment form and provide the requested photographs, history and goals. Your starting point is then reviewed so the most appropriate next step can be recommended.
Is the £69 assessment suitable for corrective work?
No. It is strictly for healthy, established dreadlocks with approximately one inch of regrowth requiring straightforward root maintenance.
Can I receive a service quotation before assessment?
Not accurately. The required work depends on your hair, scalp, density, existing structure, history and intended result.
Where is Dreadlocks by KNOT based?
Dreadlocks by KNOT is based in Brighton & Hove, South East UK. Physical dreadlock services are primarily carried out here.
Can I book if I live outside Brighton or outside the UK?
Yes. The initial consultation can be carried out online. Any physical service, travel requirement or alternative arrangement depends on the recommendation after assessment.
Will every assessment lead to a dreadlock service?
Not automatically. The purpose is to establish what is appropriate, what may need caution and what your hair may realistically be ready for.

You do not have to work this out alone.

Start with the description that most accurately reflects your hair. The assessment process will help establish the right way forward.
