About Us

Where Your Crown Is Our Art

Rastamama Locs was founded in 2015 from a deep love and passion for natural locs, healthy hair, and authentic self-expression.

Meet Edina – Founder & Master Loctician


Edina is an internationally recognised loc specialist and educator with over 25 years of professional experience working with all hair types. Originally from Hungary, her loc journey began in 2001, styling friends and family before expanding her expertise through festivals, pop-up events, and salons across Europe. Through years of hands-on experience, she developed her signature techniques and a reputation for delivering exceptional loc care and transformations.

Inspired by reggae music, positive energy, and a love for diverse cultures, Edina moved to London in 2009. After years of building her client base and refining her craft, she opened the first Rastamama Locs salon in Catford, South East London, in 2015. Today, Rastamama Locs is recognised as one of London's leading loc specialist salons and training academies.

Over the years, Edina has mentored and trained numerous locticians, helping them build successful careers and businesses within the loc industry. Her commitment to education remains at the heart of Rastamama Locs, where professional services and industry-respected training programmes work hand in hand.

Meet Vinnie – Senior Loctician


One of Edina's proudest success stories is Vinnie.

In June 2025, Vinnie enrolled in Edina's six-month professional loctician mentorship programme. Already bringing five years of experience working with locs, Vinnie joined the course with a clear vision: to become a highly skilled professional loctician and build a successful career as her own boss.

Throughout her training, Vinnie showed exceptional dedication, commitment, and a genuine passion for the craft. After successfully completing the six-month programme, she continued working alongside Edina on a part-time basis, gaining further hands-on experience with clients and mastering the full range of services offered at Rastamama Locs.

Today, Vinnie has progressed to a Full-Time Senior Loctician and is available to take bookings for all services offered within the salon. From starter locs and maintenance to repairs, crochet work, interlocking, microlocs, extensions, styling, and consultations, clients can confidently book with Vinnie knowing they will receive the same high standards of care and professionalism that Rastamama Locs is known for.

Edina is incredibly proud of Vinnie's journey and confidently recommends her to both new and existing clients. Her growth, professionalism, and commitment to excellence make her an invaluable member of the Rastamama Locs team.

More Than A Salon

At Rastamama Locs, we believe locs are more than a hairstyle — they are a lifestyle, a journey, and a personal expression of identity.

Whether you are starting your loc journey, maintaining healthy mature locs, looking for a complete transformation, or training to become a professional loctician yourself, our mission is to provide expert guidance, outstanding service, and a welcoming environment where every client feels valued.

Thank you for being part of the Rastamama Locs family. We look forward to welcoming you into our chair.
