LUXE Dreadlocks

LUXE Dreadlocks is a dreadlock salon at 7031 E. 5th Ave in Scottsdale, Arizona. Its services cover styling, cutting and trims, maintenance, coloring, starter locks for clients without dreadlocks, custom extension weaving, and brush-out or dreadlock removal.

Everything starts over text message at the salon's number, and phone callers who cannot text can leave a voicemail with a good time to call back. Free consultations by text are available for any service. A request includes your name, whether you currently have dreadlocks, the services you want, and photos of your hair as it is now, taken in bright light and in the poses the salon asks for.

Listed prices are typical ranges, and an exact quote comes from the personal consultation before any appointment. Clients can set a budget for the visit and name their main concerns, and the salon plans the appointment within those limits.

First-time clients pay a $100 deposit that is credited toward the service. The deposit is non-refundable and is forfeited if an appointment is canceled or rescheduled with less than 24 hours notice. Deposits can be paid by Venmo, PayPal or cash, and the full payment can be made by card, PayPal, Venmo or cash. Cash payers are asked to bring the exact amount because change is generally not kept on hand. Arrive with clean, dry hair unless you have booked a hair wash or detox.

Appointments can run for several hours with you seated in one place, and breaks are allowed as needed. Guests are not permitted, even if they sit quietly to the side. Parking is limited behind the salon, with three hours of free parking in front if that lot is full. Drinks and snacks are available, and there is a refrigerator clients can use. A product consultation for at-home dreadlock aftercare is included during the appointment.

Custom extension weaving requires clients to bring their own extension hair on a weft, and the salon refers clients to The Hair Shop Arizona for extension hair. Coloring is performed by a colorist who specializes in coloring dreadlocks, and clients are referred to the master dreadlock color technician. Coloring is best done before the dreadlocks are tightened, for better color penetration. The salon notes that the locking process puts tension on the scalp and can feel tender.

Each visit is planned around the client's budget and main concerns, with exact quotes set in a personal consultation before booking. The salon says it recommends top-quality products for the dreadlock community.
