Passionate Loctician & Braiding Artist
Hi, I’m Kristi Ellen, the heart and hands behind Love Locs. I’m blessed to call Currumbin Valley home and to have grown up in the Tweed Valley. The energy of the ocean and sub-tropical forests has become part of my soul, offering me inspiration and a place to lift my spirits. These natural portals fuel my creativity and deepen my connection to the work I do.
My own loc journey was transformative—dissolving self-criticism, increasing self-love, and multiplying my inner strength. For the first time in my life, I felt truly comfortable in my own skin. Inspired by this experience, I created Love Locs AU to help others embrace their authentic selves through the art of dreadlocks and braiding.
Love Locs is one of my deepest connections to spirit. I love being creative, working with intention, and seeing the radiant smiles of my clients at the end of each session. These moments ignite my soul, making each session a healing experience not just for you, but for me as well.
Surrounded by lush green nature, my studio provides a peaceful sanctuary where you can relax, enjoy the birdsongs, and watch insects dance in the sunlight as your hair is transformed. I am deeply committed to sustainability, offering eco-friendly plant hair extensions that are home compostable, as well as ensuring synthetic hair can be recycled with soft plastics.
