Dread King

Availability

I am currently taking immediate appointments (within a week) in Albuquerque, New Mexico for the month of November. I am also happy to schedule appointments in Santa Fe, Truth or Consequences, and Las Cruces.

I will be returning to San Antonio, and Austin Texas after Thanksgiving! Clients in west Texas are encouraged to connect early so I can adjust my route to meet you on my way south. Appointments are first come first served and fill up quickly.

Live elsewhere? I love to travel to do locs! If I am not currently serving your area, the price of travel will be worked out as part of your loc appointment. Contact me to schedule a trip to your area. Learn more about my life as a traveling loctician here.

Why Crochet?

I use the crochet method, which is great for all hair textures and does not involve twisting, interlocking, or products. It is especially helpful for clients who do not want to use products on their locs, have an active lifestyle and need to wash their hair often, are dealing with balding, need repairs, or would like instant locs or permanent extensions. It allows your hair to grow naturally with less stress on the scalp, and can be used as often (or as little) as you want!

Crochet Method Benefits

Works for ALL hair types, including straight and curly hair
Creates instant locs
No products needed
Able to wash hair and swim
Will not untwist or unravel
More gentle than twisting or interlocking
Bypass the messy phase (first 6-12 months)

Thank you Koi! My dreads were NEGLECTED and Koi fixed them up so well. I feel relief on my scalp and air on my head, and can style my hair the way I like them.

My loc journey: I've had locs for six years and this is my second set! I crochet my own locs and can teach you how to do the same.

Hi, I'm Koi!

(he/they)

I'm a mobile loctician, which means we will decide the best place to do your hair on an individual basis. This may be your home, in a park, at a coffee shop, or in a partnered salon. I am happy to travel to you no matter where you are located!

I'm an avid outdoorsman, writer, and traveler. I believe that having dreadlocks is a spiritual journey that can be enjoyed by anyone.

I don't do twisting or styling- I specialize in crochet. I am one of the best locticians in the country for instant locs, heavily damaged or neglected locs, balding, and straight or curly hair.
