This was probably one of the most exciting things I have done for myself ever. I knew my
decision to have Em dread my hair was easily the best and smartest decisions I have made too! Ema was very patient with me throughout the entire process and allayed all my fears and trepidation
and got me across the line and placed firmly and safely on my dreaded journey with immaculate and super lengthy and sexy dreadlocks. A special shout out to Dom who put her hand up to assist Ema
on the day. I will also be trying to get to a course in the near future. Luv ya guts Em😘

I can thoroughly recommend Divine Dreadlocks for the creation of dreads and dreads maintenance. Ema and her
team are all incredibly professional, personable, passionate, and practiced. Â I have always been
attracted to dreadlocks, and have always thought I would love to have them, but it wasn't until I turned 40 that I finally took the plunge and came to Divine Dreadlocks. That was just over 2
years ago now and I am still completely in love with my dreads! I have long thick wavy hair that is difficult to control. Now with dreads my hair is tamed and looks
amazing!
I am now about to embark on the D.I.Y Dread Maintenance Course Ema runs online. Ema's experience as a teacher,
and as someone who has a wealth of experience in dreadlocking with the Divine Hand & Hook method, is the perfect person for designing and delivering a range of dreadlocking online
courses. Her passion to share her skills and enthusiasm with others is wonderful. If you have ever
wanted dreads or ever wanted to create dreads, Divine Dreadlocks is the place to go. Natural, tidy, easy to look after, always looks great and lots of compliments from friends and complete
strangers!

"I have been wanting dreads for over 20 years and have never had the courage to get them done as I was worried about what
other people would think of me. I finally decided that I needed to do this for me and if others didnt like it , it was their problem to get over. I searched for a long time and found another
place to get them done. I put my name on the list and apparently it was a 12 month wait. I was happy to wait to get great dreads. When it was my turn I had to go that month or go back to the
bottom of the list and keep waiting. The people were not very caring of work restrictions and travel etc. I managed to track Ema down, looked at her gallery of beautiful work and discovered that
she had actually trained the other person. How lucky was I. I phoned Ema and explained to her what had happened with the other people and how long I had been waiting. Ema was so lovely and
accommodating. She didnt normally work when I wanted to come in but because I was going to be travelling quite a distance to see her, she organised to get me in and do my locs. Ema and her
assistant were both lovely and friendly but best of all is my new locs look fabulous. They're neat, thin, wispy and I feel fabulous wearing them. I feel like Ive had them for years. I would so
highly recommend Ema and team for your locs and wouldnt go anywhere else now. I know where Ill be going for all maintenance. Thank you" xx

Maybe because I'd been waiting what felt a very long time, more so I think because I was so
excited to get Dreadlocks, the night before my appointment I got cold feet and was so nervous I couldn't sleep....!!!
The next day I arrived at was greeted by the lovely Emma and Ness and all my anxieties were
eased as she talked me through the look I wanted and listened to everything (i didn't want my dreads to thick and i wanted a soft fringe and to have my ends open to leave
length.)
Little did i know i had a VERY sensitive scalp and was a bit of a fragile baby when the
process began Em and Ness were wondeful and right onto it they ,some lovely tunes, gave me a pain relieving peppermint cloth to breath into and talked to me
through ,soon we were laughing and it was time for lunch.
We went to this amazing cafe and I had the best vegetarian burger ever!!
After, the process continued and I could see the dreads taking on shape. I got super excited!
 Em kept on checking in and was so meticulous about where the dreads would sit and I felt safe in the knowledge she knew exactly what she was doing.
Soon all was done and I looked in the mirror and was AMAZED. It looked fantastic and I was so
happy with the result. Emma and Ness talked me through what the next few months would be like with new dreads, dread
care etc.
I also bought her magic dread spray...BUY THIS!! Â It soothed my scalp when the itchiness creeps in day 5 at around midnight!!!! and made my
dreads smell fresh and clean. Everyone comments on my dreads now (strangers and friends), how cool they are, how tight, how
neat, how I don't look like a nit infested jobless hippy like they thought my dreads would turn out hahaha.....
Thanks Em and Ness your work is the best!!

I am so pleased i went to Ema for that maintenance i needed- i was very fluffy, with lots of
regrowth, and now i have tight, no fluff order in the dreads, which should last ages- thanks Ema, will come back

I want to express my gratitude of having my dreadlocks done by Divine Dreadlocks. It was my dream to have them for a long time but couldn't find the right place to make them perfectly around Byron area as I made a big search about other studios. Once I had my dreads made by a friend and I had  lot of trouble to take them out. So, now I'm really carefull and make sure they are gonna be made by someone with a lot of experience. When I went to Divine Dreadlocks, Ema had a big smile in her face and made me feel at home. When I walk on the streets in Byron Bay, people ask who made my dreads all the time, Im really stoked! If you want very beautifull dreads made with no chemicals, no wax but with love I highly recommend Divine Dreadlocks :)Â
Cheers! Amanda, Byron Bay, (May 1014)
Thanks to Ems from Divine Dreadlocks... done a wicked job on my fluffy wild mullet. Left me with nice tight little dreads, that only took a few hours and the
pricing was great. I've had mullet dreads before and I had to do a lot of things to maintain them plus use a lot of products etc, with Ems dreads no rolling, no products, they're locked in
straight away, Im really happy with them and recommend anyone looking for dreads to head to Em's at Divine Dreadlocks!!
Thanks again Em's see you soon :)

Hi Ema and family, xx
Ema, I love my new Dreads!
"I received my new dreadlocks last week from Ema, she did an amazing job and I cant believe how good they look. I have been wanting dreads for years and didn't know about this type of method which I would highly recommend. No matter where you live in Australia, its definitely worth the trip to see Ema. Not only is she good at what she does, but she is an awesome chick to sit down all day with and have a chat to. Cheers heaps Ema for the dreads, I love them."

Ema Created the dreads i always dreamed of!
"I had wanted dreads for years and after hearing so many stories and ways of doing it, i was totally confused!? Recently on a trip to Byron Bay, I did some research and was so glad to have found Ema at Divine Dreadlocks. She has an amazing way of locking the hair together without using any chemicals or wax which is great as I have sensitive skin. Ema has great energy & makes you feel right at home in her dreadlounge. we shared stories, music, interests & lunch over the long 8 hours it took to complete my hair but it was all quickly over and she had created the dreads I had always dreamed of...I couldn't be happier! Cheers!"

"I had heard a lot of positive feedback about Ema's work so I recently got some maintenance done on my dreads that I've had for several years. Ema is a lovely, warm, down to earth lady that is welcoming and very easy to have a chat with. Her knowledge on her craft is excellent and you won't walk about without being fully educated on the care of your dreads. Ema's style is meticulous and my dreads were done tightly and neatly"

I found Divine Dreadlocks on the net and decided Ema seemed like the perfect person to create my dreads. I first had half head of dreads done and they were tight,
neat and chemical free. After a while I got my whole head done by Ema. I've had them for about 6 months and LOVE them. Ema is a lovely person who does an awesome job. I constantly go back for
maintenance and everytime I am extremely happy with the job. I would recommend Ema to anyone who wants dreads or wants to know anything about them.
Thanks Ema :)

Best maintenance work done!
I only had a bit of maintenance work done with Ema, so it wasn’t a huge job – but it was done extremely well. My dreads were pretty messy and loose at the roots,
and after a few hours with Ema they were nice a tight and neat – and they stayed that way for longer than usual afterwards (other people have done a good job on my hair, but it always loosened up
quite quickly). It was really nice to just sit in the garden and chat while Ema worked on my dreads, watching the cat chase a snake through the bushes. I’d definitely recommend Ema’s work to
anyone who wants tight, natural dreads without waxes or other products. Thanks heaps for such a good job. ;)
Cheers, Sam. Vic. Dec 2012

Ema did my entire head of dreads in one sitting (with a small break for breastfeeding!) I had a wonderful relaxing time drinking tea and ended up with beautiful soft dreads that looked and felt amazing! I wouldn't go to anyone else. They were locked permanently first go. Thanks Ema!

Loving my new LOCS!!!!!
"I went to Divine Dreadlocks to get my bad home job dreadlocks fixed which turned out they needed to be redone. I was at Ema's place for near 7 hours & I would have never have known, time flew!! She is such a beautiful soul and at the same time can create awesome dreadlocks! She has the best music to listen to & an amazing relaxing atmosphere. I love my 35 new dreadlocks - highly recommended I'll be telling everyone I know and strangers on the street. By the way definitely do not try the wax-roll method of dreadlocks, crocheting dreads is the ONLY way to go and Ema has it down to a very fine art! (I have experienced both methods) I left Ema's house with better dreadlocks than I ever imagined. You & yours are invited to Tasmania anytime Ema!!! : )"

 Sorted my dreads out!
"Hey!!! I'm Kay-cee I came too see Ema with backyard dreads, after 4 very quick hours, my hair was amazing!! She was so easy to chat to I didn't even realise I was there for four hours, and the end result is just what I wanted! I am going to recommend Ema to a couple of mates who want dreads put in, and will definitely be driving the 3 hours again to come back for maintenance. Thanks Ema, it was lovely meeting you :) xx"

Australia's Best Dreads!
I've been coming to Ema from the day my dreads were first created nearly 3 years ago. I have people in the street comment how good my dreads are and I always
promote Ema as a locktician. The mess free and maintenance free way Ema dreads is perfect and affordable. My dreads look better and better each time I see Ema as the length and thickness changes,
they are awesome and I love them. I friend got hers done somewhere else where she has to wax and roll them all the time and she totally regrets not going to Ema.
I thoroughly recommend Ema cause she's great at what she does, very professional and a beautiful person to spend time with whilst getting Australia's best dreads
created ;)

"I got my dreads done originally in Bali a couple of years ago. The guys made them really thin as I wanted. Back in Oz, I'd gone to a place in Brissie and wasn't happy with the job at all. I saw Ema's flyer in Mullumbimby and booked to see her. I really enjoyed the experience chatting away in her lovely garden, it's a nice atmosphere. Her work didn't hurt and I love the end result. I'm a happy customer who'll keep going back:)"

Very Satisfied Customer!
"For years and years I had wanted dreadlocks, but either didn't have the time or the money to have them done. So finally in Oct 2010 by partner decided he would give me the money to have them done for my birthday. I had my dreads put in by someone in the region who was offering a nice cheap rate and they looked great so I tought at the time. I soon worked out that they had not originally knotted n tightened them properly as after quite a few maintanence sessions they just refused to tighten. So my dreads were frizzy n hair was pulling out everywhere. So I decided to seek out someone else to fix them up, I found Ema at Divine Dreadlocks and thank God I did. Because of her made skills n very extensive knowledge of dreadlocks I now have beautiful TIGHT dreadlocks that she spent Hours fixing up for me. They looked brand new after the first maintanence session. After having such a bad start I am now LOVING my dreadlocks and so HAPPY I found Ema."
Adele, Lennox Head, 2010

HAPPY customer.
"I had my hair maintained by Ema about a year ago - after having had my dreadlocks for about six months. When they were first "locked" my hair had been backcombed and then piled with wax, which didn't last too long. So on my first appointment Ema fixed them up, leaving them looking and feeling really tight and neat - naturally! So a year later i went back in desperate need of maintenance work for the new growth, which she has once again done a fantastic job of. Thank you Ema."
Steve Tennant, Gladstone, QLD, 2009

So good, I keep coming back!
"I first came to see Ema in Jan 2008 to get my dreads fixed. I'd had them done at the hairdresser's and they weren't in good condition. She tighted them and did the regrowth and I was very satisfied with the results. I've now been visiting Ema from Brisbane about twice a year ever since. I wouldn't trust anyone else to work on my dreads. I also love catching up with Ema as she's very friendly and easy to sit with for 5 hours! Cheers Em! See you in 6 months:)"
