Dreadzilla
Studio in Ontario, CA
Dreadzilla is a dreadlock service business in Ontario, California, focused on loc care at every stage, from starting locs to ending a loc journey. The business describes itself as a trusted guide for all things dreadlocks. It began when Dani turned a personal hobby in dreadlocks into a full business, and it has grown through word of mouth and in-person referrals. The menu runs from routine crochet maintenance in several session lengths to gel re-twists, a 45-minute steam hydration treatment, loc evolution sessions that reinforce loc structure beyond new growth, and longer wicks sessions for moving toward thicker locs. Loc repair, handcrafted extensions, detangling of accidental knots and strand-by-strand removal are also offered. Every booking can start with a free, no-commitment consultation that covers starting locs, ongoing care, changes to existing locs, or removal. Quotes are based on each client's needs. Where a personalized timeframe is set, timing is worked out from the size of the root section, the total number of locs and the time taken to complete a sample loc. Booking a quoted timeframe confirms the client agrees to it, and the deposit holds that time block.
