Dreadlocks & Box Braids in Melbourne's Northern Suburbs
Braiding is one of Vasii's specialities - dreadlocks, box braids and feed-in braiding, done with the patience and precision they deserve. Mobile and by appointment.
Dreadlocks and box braids are two of Vasii's specialities, and they are the kind of work that rewards taking your time. Curl Up & Dye is a mobile, by-appointment salon, so rather than sitting in a busy shop we come to you across Melbourne's northern suburbs and give the style the hours it actually needs. Every dreadlock and braiding booking starts with a consultation, because whether you are starting fresh or refreshing a style you already have, the right approach depends entirely on your hair.
- Dreadlocks - starting fresh, or refreshing a style you already have
- Protective box braids, done with patience and precision
- Feed-in and everyday braiding
- Braided styles for weddings and special occasions
- Always by appointment, with a consultation first to plan the look
- Mobile across Melbourne's northern suburbs - we come to you
Why Braiding Is Booked Differently
Dreadlocks and box braids take time and skill to do well, so they are never squeezed into a standard appointment slot.
Every booking starts with a consultation where Vasii looks at your hair type and talks through the look you want, so the plan is agreed before any work begins. Once that is settled we book the time the style genuinely needs. With 23 years behind the chair, Vasii would rather tell you honestly what will and will not suit your hair than rush you into a style that does not last.
Starting Fresh or Refreshing Existing Locs
Both are welcome, and both begin the same way - with a conversation.
- Starting fresh, if you have been thinking about locs for a while
- Refreshing an existing style that has grown out or needs attention
- Box braids as a protective style
- Feed-in and everyday braiding
What is right for you depends on your hair type, its condition and the look you are after, so we will talk through the right approach at your consultation rather than guessing from a photo.
A Mobile Salon, Which Suits This Work
Curl Up & Dye travels to clients across Melbourne's northern suburbs - Epping, Wollert, Mernda, South Morang, Mill Park, Bundoora, Reservoir, Thomastown and Preston.
For long appointments like braiding, being at home is genuinely easier. You are comfortable, you are not watching a clock in a salon chair, and there is no parking to sort out at either end. Vasii brings everything needed to you.
To book, or just to ask whether something is possible with your hair, call or message Vasii on 0419 857 723.

Frequently asked questions
Do you specialise in dreadlocks and box braids?
Yes. Dreadlocks and box braids are two of Vasii's specialities, done with the patience and precision they deserve. Whether you're starting fresh or refreshing an existing style, we'll talk through the right approach for your hair type at your consultation.
Can you work on dreadlocks I already have?
Yes. Refreshing an existing style is just as common as starting fresh. Because the right approach depends on the condition and history of your hair, we'll look at it properly and plan it together at your consultation before booking the work in.
How long does a dreadlock or braiding appointment take?
It depends entirely on your hair and the style you're after, which is exactly why every booking starts with a consultation. Once Vasii has seen your hair and you've agreed on the look, we'll book in the time it genuinely needs rather than rushing it.
Do you come to me?
Yes. Curl Up & Dye is a mobile, by-appointment salon serving Melbourne's northern suburbs, so Vasii travels to you. For longer appointments like braiding, most clients find being at home far more comfortable than a salon chair.
How do I book?
Call or message Vasii on 0419 857 723 with what you're after. We'll arrange a consultation to look at your hair, agree on the style and a clear quote, then book in the time it needs.
