Jocelyn has always had a passion and love for hair, creativity and individuality. Starting off by dreading her own hair and wigs, she fell in love with the art and the creative possibilities. 
After a few years learning and doing maintenance for friends, Gothic Hippy Dreads was born! Over the years the business has gradually grown and developed into what it is now. No longer causal lounge room maintenance for friends, but a home studio salon, call out appointments, market stalls, and an online store!
