From Kenya to Australia: How Lucy Built LK Dreadz, a Thriving Dreadlock Business in South Australia
When Lucy arrived in Australia in 2015 as an international student, she never imagined she would one day become a leading loctician in Adelaide. Initially pursuing a diploma in business management, she faced culture shock, visa challenges, and the struggle of balancing school, work and life.
A chance encounter with a client seeking dreadlock maintenance sparked an idea, leading her to train as a professional loctician in Kenya before returning to Australia. With determination and grit, she built LK Dreadz from the ground up—offering quality dreadlock care in South Australia.
Today, Lucy is a proud Kenyan entrepreneur in Australia, empowering people to embrace their natural hair journeywhile inspiring others to turn their skills into successful businesses.
