Introducing Lady Alyse, founder and creative force behind LOCt.Her love for dreadlocks began at just 12 years old with her first set of dreads. Having worn them on and off ever since, her passion for alternative hair evolved into teaching herself how to create her own dreadlocks, extensions and eventually making them for others.
In 2008, Alyse opened her first alternative retail store, where handmade dreadlocks became part of the business. What began as a creative passion gradually developed into a full time career, with further professional training from locticians around the world.
In 2020, LOCt was born in Taranaki, bringing together years of hands on experience, creativity and dedication to the craft. After successfully taking LOCt across the Tasman to Perth, Australia, Alyse has now returned to New Plymouth to begin the next chapter.
With over 20 years experience in the dreadlock world, Alyse specialises in natural crochet dreadlocks, custom extensions, maintenance, and alternative styles, helping clients embrace their individuality with confidence.
