What Should I do for my Appointment? (Ottawa Dreads)

Have a clear idea of what you would like to have done so you can express that to me.
Research dreadlocks online so you can have the best idea of what to expect.
Send me pictures of your hair before the appointment to help my estimate. If you're wary, you can cut or blur the face out. I just need to see the hair.
Have clean, dry hair that has been washed within the past 24 hours ready.
Set aside a whole day so that neither of us feel rushed or stressed.
Bring/Have your DVDs/Music/laptop. Sitting in a chair for a while doesn't need to be boring too.
Bring/Have some food for yourself.
Bring all your dread questions -- I'll be happy to answer anything.
Last but not least, and I know it's cliché. Please bring a positive and open mind.

Expect my estimate to be the golden rule. Sometimes appointments run late due to unforeseen circumstances. I try to let everyone involved know if it will be a little later.
Wash with conditioner the week before your appointment (applies to dreadlock creation)
