An Alternative Experience

At Camden Locks we have been able to differentiate ourselves from other salons by offering alternative styling.

For us, being alternative doesn’t mean being unusual – it means being extraordinary.

We treat all of our customers as individuals, and don’t believe that a hairstyle or tattoo is ‘one size fits all’.

Experience & Skills

We’ve been doing hair in Camden Town for over 25 years, and we’ve been able to develop our skills and expertise with both European, Asian and Afro hair of all textures.

Clients are offered a large range of treatments and services including, creating and maintaining dreadlocks, all other hair salon treatments, as well as tattoos and piercings.

Recommendations

At Camden Locks many of our clients have been recommended on a word-of-mouth basis.

We are pleased to note the positive feedback we’ve received on making them feel at ease and comfortable in a sometimes daunting situation.

Take a look at some of our reviews, written by real clients, on our testimonials page.

Dreadlocks

One of our most popular services is dreadlocks. We are privileged to have been making and maintaining dreadlocks in London for over 25 years.

The locticians work on all hair textures. As trained hairdressers, your hairs’ strength and your scalp’s condition are of the utmost importance to us.

Many hair salons and less experienced locticians have tried to imitate our techniques, but we are the original and still the best. We can advise you on the best method for creating and maintaining your dreadlocks. 

Hair

At Camden Locks we offer our clientele a full range of hair services.

All of our stylists are well-versed in the usual hairdressing services that you would expect from any top salon. We offer hair services for both ladies and gents.

This includes, cutting, colouring, styling, extensions, permanent straightening treatments, as well as more alternative styles.

Tattoos & Piercing

Camden Locks is a fully licensed tattoo and piercing studio.

Part of the Camden Locks team is our experienced tattoo artists who specialise in New Traditional, Traditional, Polka Trash and tattooing skin with higher levels of melanin (that may be prone to scarring).

Our artists offer free consultations to help you decide on the design which is best for you, and your body. They can create your custom bespoke tattoo for you while you wait, or work from your specified design.

All piercings are made using only the best titanium jewellery to make all new piercings. An extensive list of piercing services are offered to cater for all clients, and in addition full aftercare instructions and cleaning solution.
