DREADS EXPERT

Creation and maintenance of premium natural dreads

Dreads Expert, a hairdresser specializing in the creation and maintenance of premium natural dreads, presents its hair salon dedicated to locks. On this site, you'll find answers to all your questions about dreadlocks. First, let me introduce myself in a few lines.

Who am I? A dread hairdresser specializing in the creation and maintenance of premium natural dreads.

I'm Lisah Sandström, creator of natural dreadlocks, founder of the Dreads Expert hair salon, the www.dreads-expert.com website and the Dreads Expert Academy training institute, a DREETS PACA-accredited training organization.

I live in Saint Raphaël (Var) on the French Riviera, more exactly between Nice (Alpes Maritimes) and Saint Tropez (Var) in the PACA region(Provence Alpes Côte d'Azur), in France.

I am a Swedish national of Finnish origin from Rosvik in Swedish Lapland. I am trilingual in Swedish, French and English.

I hold a C.A.P and a B.E.P in hairdressing, as well as a master's degree in the creation, application and shaping of natural dreadlocks.

My business? Hair salon dedicated to the creation and maintenance of natural locks

I am a hairdresser specialized in natural dreadlocks and have been working since 2001. I create, therefore, only authentic locks and extensions made of real hair.

My services also include various types of maintenance and fitness treatments for your locks.

I create dreadlocks for men, women, teens and children. As an expert in creating natural dreads on afro , fine and thinning hair, your dream of wearing locks becomes a reality.

Why create and maintain premium natural dreads?

My passion for dreadlocks began when I discovered Lenny Kravitz on MTV. His locks fascinated me. I was obsessed with wearing them! I did it when I was 12.
In 2001, I created my 1st dreadlocks as an amateur. To perfect my technique, I took courses in hair salons that were experts in natural dreads. This enabled me to create beautiful natural locks for my friends.
In 2006, I became a natural dreadlocks hairdresser. I worked in Sweden and the Netherlands in hair salons specializing in dreadlocks.

My expertise? The creation and maintenance of premium natural crochet dreads

To create dreads, I only use crochet hooks. This object was originally used to create lace. It's the ideal tool for creating and maintaining beautiful locks.
My experience and training have enabled me to develop my own technique for creating and maintaining premium natural dreads. I create your dreads gently and painlessly.
My artistic flair allows me to sublimate your locks.

My work philosophy? Excellence in the creation and maintenance of premium natural dreads.

I position myself in the premium segment of natural dread creation and maintenance. Indeed, I aim for excellence in my art.
I'm passionate about the beauty of natural dreadlocks and the ways to sublimate them. Highlighting faces, eyes and wrinkles, without ever letting the locks take over, these are my daily challenges.
Every dreadlock creation requires time and commitment. I carefully analyze faces, hair types and colors to create natural dreads that reflect the soul of each individual.

The dreadlocks extensions I use are made by myself with great care. The hair I use to make them is of the highest quality.

My goal is twofold: to create high-end, aesthetically pleasing dreadlocks, and to make my customers proud to wear them.

Where can you find me? The Dreads Expert showroom

My hair salon dedicated to the creation and maintenance of premium natural dreads is located at 205, rue Isaac Newton, Technoparc, Epsilon 1, 83700 Saint Raphaël (Var), France.

Several parking lots are within easy reach of my salon.

I receive by appointment only.

Great training with dread expert! Lisah passed on her know-how to me over 2 days with patience and enthusiasm. I learned how to create and maintain dreads in a very professional way, and I recommend her without hesitation.

I found “Dreads Expert” online—the top-rated site for natural dread extensions. I spent a long time browsing the site. So I made an appointment to discuss my plan. There I was, sitting across from Lisah, a pretty Swedish woman with a lovely accent who really knows her stuff. Despite my already eccentric look, I needed some reassurance before putting on the cape—and above all, I needed to be sure that the dreads wouldn’t be a hassle!!!! Yesterday was the day to finally make my project a reality. I spent the day with Lisah, who loves “her passion”: creating dreads. This woman lives and breathes what she does and takes great pleasure in seeing the hairstyle take shape. It’s haute couture work, done with joy and relaxation. She takes great care of her clients. Here I am with gorgeous, feminine dreads! Lisah, thank you for being who you are, and thank you for the quality of your work.

A moment filled with love and tenderness as I rebuilt a solid foundation for my dreadlocks. Lisah is incredibly patient and generous. Her dexterity and keen eye inspire complete trust. Thank you, Lisah, for your advice, and I look forward to seeing you soon to continue our beautification project.

Lisah is an expert who approaches your project with enthusiasm, dedication, and a strong sense of professionalism. My project was specific and had three goals: first, to get rid of my salt-and-pepper roots with colored lengths; second, to fulfill a dream I’d had for at least 25 years of having dreadlocks; and third, to add some pizzazz to my transition into a more mature and confident stage of life. Lisah was a great listener and very instructive, not only in her professional and artistic expertise but also in her patience and her determination to achieve a 100% successful result. (A whole day spent tirelessly dreading extremely thick hair.) A huge thank you, Lisah, for this magnificent work and the lovely day we spent together. See you soon for the touch-up.

Ever since I was a little girl, I've dreamed of having pretty dreads, but life has kept me from doing so for years. In early 2022, I plan to quit my job and move 600 kilometers away. A change of life, surrounded by many trials and tribulations. I then decided to embark on the dreadloks adventure, for this new book, this new adventure. I started by looking in the Dordogne, where I was based, to see if extensions were feasible, then in the south, towards my new home. I came across a rather strange site, and while browsing other sites I came across Lisah's site. I realized that someone in the Dordogne had stolen her photos to sell her own services. After taking a good look at Lisah's site, I took the plunge. And I have no regrets. I now have pretty dreadlok extensions that I hope to keep as long as possible. Lisah is gentle and very pleasant, we chatted and laughed. Thanks again Lisah for this day, and see you soon for the maintenance of my locks ????

A month ago, I didn't hesitate for a second to fly from Alsace to have my dreads created by Lisah. I'm almost 40, and I wanted my hair to be classy and bohemian to reflect my true personality. With my graying, frizzy hair, I hadn't been able to style myself for months. What's more, I couldn't get my hair to grow, as it damaged too quickly. I've got a pretty nice face, but I'd lost confidence in my image. Thanks to Lisah, what a transformation! I can change my hairstyle 10 times a day if I feel like it, and it stands up on its own! I've never had so many compliments on my appearance. And yet I'm a consultant, so far from doing me any disservice, dreads are an affirmation of my style and my artistic side. And the look on my husband's face? Rrrrrrrrr... Lisah, you're sweet, empathetic, thoughtful and, above all, really talented. If I had to do it all over again? I'd rather do it 1,000 times than once. Thank you for everything. ????

Nothing but joy with Lisah! I had my dreadlocks maintained at her beautiful salon, and I was welcomed like I’ve never been welcomed at a dread salon before—Lisah really knows how to put you at ease ☕???????? I thought my dreads were pretty well-maintained, but I realized just how wrong I was—I’ve never seen them look this good! With personalized advice, expertise, technique, speed, and efficiency, Lisah is, as her shop’s name suggests, quite simply an expert in her field. ???? I’m used to Afro hairstylists who are just as skilled, but there’s a huge difference with Lisah. Gentle and attentive, she knows exactly what you need based on your hair type, whether it’s for maintenance or the products to use. I walked out feeling brand-new with a clear plan of action for achieving the most beautiful locs ✨ The service is accompanied by lovely conversations—it’s a very pleasant experience, perfect from start to finish ???? See you soon, Lisah ????

I discovered Lisah over two and a half years ago on social media while I was looking for someone to help me get dreads; unfortunately, I couldn’t afford her services for my project at the time. I’ve been following her regularly ever since, and I had the honor (yes, really—I was so touched ☺️) of having her work her magic on me yesterday. She’s truly an extraordinary person—so warm and welcoming, and her service was fast and incredible! I’ve had my roots touched up by other stylists before—it took much longer and the results were nowhere near as good. Her Swedish touch and natural talent truly make her someone I highly recommend; she’s full of great advice, shares her knowledge, and recommends fantastic products. What more can I say? Go for it! ????✨✨✨✨✨ ❤️

It’s been a little over a week since I was in Lisah’s magical hands. She does an incredible job, and she puts her whole heart into it. You’re welcomed as if you were visiting a good friend, and booking an appointment with her means you’re sure to leave feeling recharged and full of positive energy. She’s very professional and takes the time to chat with you to find the style that’s right for you—and I think it’s impossible to be disappointed. I still can’t help but smile when I look at my hairstyle! Thanks again for everything, Lisah ????????????✌????

Lisah is very professional and calm, with a knowledge and passion that make her superb. I've always had dreads in my head through my choice of characters in video games and especially through reggae. When I was trying to get started, I came across Dread Expert and then at two concerts she was also recommended to me, so I got in touch a few months ago. We talked by phone/email with photos and then I went there. We decided what would look best on my face. Having seen people with Lisah's dreads I told her I trust you to do what you think. Today was a full day with this magnificent creation that Lisah made for me. Haircut, dread extension creation (before) + fitting on the day with great advice. I don't regret my choice at all, thank you Lisah! The place is soothing and calm and everything is great. Highly recommend

Lisah is truly amazing! She gives a warm welcome, is very professional, meticulous, and a perfectionist—she puts her heart into her work. You can really tell she wants us to be proud of our dreads; she doesn’t cut corners. Her crocheting technique is truly beautiful and gives the locks an authentic look! Thank you so much again for having me in your beautiful studio—I’m really, really, really happy with what you did! Thanks a million again! And see you soon for the maintenance appointment!
