About Dreads & Deco

About Me

My name is Nelleke, and in 2017 I founded Dreads & Deco with a lot of love and passion.
Dreadlocks and decoration have been a big part of my life for many years , they truly represent who I am.

I started small, working from my home salon, where I had the joy of creating beautiful dreadlocks for many wonderful people. After a few years, Dreads & Deco grew, and I opened a real salon , a space where I could work every day with a fantastic team, doing what I love most: making people feel beautiful and confident.

​

My love for decoration, handcrafting and creative details has always been there.

As a trained florist, I spent many years styling and decorating various events.

Working creatively with my hands brings me so much joy.

I have a deep appreciation for handmade items and traditional crafts , every product has a story to tell.

And that’s exactly the heart and soul of Dreads & Deco.

In my online shop, all these passions come together.

I’m constantly searching for unique decoration materials, beads, and fair, high-quality products to create a collection that feels personal and meaningful.

After running my salon full-time for five years with an amazing team, I realized that managing two businesses was simply too much. So in 2022, I decided to take a new direction.

Now, I run my webshop full-time and create custom-made dreadlocks and dread sets , with or without deco, but always with a personal story.

I’ve been wearing my own dreadlocks with love and pride for 24 years, and I hope to continue doing so for many more to come.

I love animals, people, and nature , and through Dreads & Deco, I’ve found a beautiful way to bring all these passions together.

I wish you lots of joy and inspiration while shopping at Dreads & Deco.

With warm regards,
Nelleke
