Dreadlock Installation in Perth: Cost, Process & What to Expect at Home (2026)

By Luxe Hair Co. · Updated May 2026 · 9 min read

Thinking about getting dreadlocks in Perth? You're not alone — dread installations have surged in popularity across WA, and more and more Perth locals are choosing to have them done at home by a mobile hairdresser rather than sitting in a salon for 8+ hours.

At Luxe Hair Co., we specialise in mobile dreadlock installation in Perth — coming to your home across all suburbs from Joondalup to Mandurah, Fremantle to Armadale. Here's everything you need to know before you book.

💡 Quick answer: Mobile dreadlock installation in Perth starts from $800, depending on hair length, thickness and the method used. The process takes 4–10 hours depending on your hair.

What Types of Dreadlocks Do We Install?

How Much Do Dreadlocks Cost in Perth?

Dreadlock Installation (full head)From $800
Dreadlock Maintenance / RetwistFrom $150
Dreadlock Repair (single or multiple)From $80
Partial Dreadlock InstallationFrom $200
Dreadlock Extensions AddedPOA

The final price depends on your hair length, thickness and volume. Very long or very thick hair will take longer and require more work — always mention your hair length and type when you enquire so we can give you an accurate quote.

How Long Does a Dreadlock Installation Take?

This is the most common question we get — and the honest answer is: it varies. Here's a general guide:

Because it's a long process, having your dreadlocks done at home in Perth is a huge advantage — you can watch TV, eat meals and be comfortable in your own space the whole time. No salon could offer that.

How to Prepare for Your Dreadlock Appointment

1
Wash your hair 24–48 hours before

Hair should be clean but not freshly washed. Use a residue-free shampoo — avoid conditioner, oils and serums which make hair slippery.

2
Come to your appointment with dry, detangled hair

Ensure your hair is completely dry. Detangling is not required (your stylist will handle this) but removes any large knots beforehand to save time.

3
Set up a comfortable chair

You'll be sitting for a long time — choose your most comfortable chair near a power outlet. Have entertainment ready (Netflix, podcasts, books).

4
Have snacks and water on hand

It's a long appointment — stay hydrated and fuelled. Your stylist will also need access to a bathroom.

5
Have payment ready

We accept cash and bank transfer. Confirm payment method when you book.

Dreadlock Maintenance: What Happens After

Your dreadlocks won't be fully locked on day one — they take 3–6 months to fully mature depending on your hair type. Here's what to expect:

🔄 Ongoing maintenance: We offer mobile dreadlock maintenance appointments across all Perth suburbs. Book a retwist every 4–6 weeks to keep your dreads looking neat and fresh. Starting from $150.

Does it hurt to get dreadlocks?

There can be some scalp tenderness, especially with the backcombing method. This is normal and usually subsides within a few days. We always work at a pace that's comfortable for you.

Can I get dreadlocks on any hair type?

Yes — we work with all hair types including straight, wavy, curly, coily and afro-textured hair. The method used will vary depending on your hair type. We'll advise the best approach when you book.

Do dreadlocks damage your hair?

When installed and maintained correctly, dreadlocks are not damaging. They are a natural loc of your own hair. The key is proper installation by a qualified stylist and regular maintenance.

Can I wash my hair with dreadlocks?

Yes — though you'll need to wait 2–4 weeks after installation before washing. We'll give you full aftercare instructions at your appointment.

Mobile Hairdresser for Elderly Perth Residents: A Complete Family Guide (2026)

By Luxe Hair Co. · Updated May 2026 · 7 min read

If you have an elderly parent, relative or loved one in Perth who struggles to get to a salon, a mobile hairdresser can be a genuinely life-changing service.

At Luxe Hair Co., we offer compassionate, gentle and professional mobile hairdressing for elderly clients across all Perth suburbs — including home visits, aged care facility visits and retirement village appointments.

Why Mobile Hairdressing Matters for Elderly Perth Residents

2
We match the right stylist

We'll match your family member with a stylist experienced in aged care who will build a comfortable, consistent relationship with them.

3
First appointment & assessment

The first visit is a chance for your loved one and our stylist to get acquainted. We work slowly, gently and always at the client's pace.

4
Set up recurring visits

We can schedule regular appointments — every 4, 6 or 8 weeks — so there's no need to remember to rebook each time.

Do You Visit Aged Care Facilities and Retirement Villages in Perth?

Yes — we regularly visit residents at aged care facilities, nursing homes and retirement villages across Perth. We work with facility staff to schedule appointments at convenient times and always bring everything needed for a full in-room hairdressing service.

Perth aged care facilities we service include locations in suburbs such as Nedlands, Subiaco, South Perth, Fremantle, Joondalup, Karrinyup, Canning Vale and throughout the metro area. Contact us to arrange regular visits for your facility's residents.

What About Clients with Dementia?

Our stylists are experienced in working with clients living with dementia and other cognitive conditions. We take a calm, reassuring and unhurried approach — always following the client's lead and working within their comfort zone. If a client becomes distressed at any point, we pause and give them time.

We'd recommend calling us to discuss your loved one's specific needs before the first appointment so we can prepare our stylist accordingly.

Mobile Hair Colour Perth: Foils, Balayage & All-Over Colour at Home (2026)

By Luxe Hair Co. · Updated May 2026 · 8 min read

Getting your hair coloured used to mean hours at a salon — the drive, the waiting, the chemicals, the noise. In 2026, Perth women (and men!) are increasingly choosing to have their hair colour done at home by a mobile hairdresser — and getting better results in the process.

At Luxe Hair Co., our mobile hair colour service in Perth covers everything from a simple regrowth touch-up to a full-head balayage transformation — all done in the comfort of your own home.

What Mobile Hair Colour Services Do We Offer in Perth?

All-Over Colour (includes blowdry)From $149
Regrowth Touch-Up (includes blowdry)From $119
Toner / Gloss (includes blowdry)From $109
Foils / Highlights (includes toner & blowdry)From $279
Cut & Colour PackageFrom $229
Balayage / OmbreFrom $279
Colour CorrectionPOA — contact us

Balayage vs Foils: Which Is Right for You?

This is one of the most common questions Perth clients ask us. Here's a simple breakdown:

Foil Highlights

Balayage

☀️ Perth tip: Balayage suits Perth's lifestyle beautifully — it looks amazing sun-bleached on the beach and grows out without that harsh regrowth look. Most of our Perth clients going for a natural, low-maintenance colour choose balayage.

What Do I Need to Prepare for a Mobile Colour Appointment?

Does Mobile Hair Colour Cost More Than a Salon?

Not necessarily. Our mobile hair colour prices in Perth are comparable to mid-range salons — and once you factor in petrol, parking and waiting time, mobile is often better value. Plus, you get 100% one-on-one attention from your stylist the entire time.
