About Boho Barbie Locs
Our Passion
We may be the new face on your feed but trust us — we’ve been in the dread game long enough to know a good seal from a bad blend (and how to rescue both 👀)!! At Boho Barbie Locs, we’re not just slinging strands — we’re handcrafting crown-worthy creations designed to turn heads, spark confidence and let your personality shine!!
We specialize in multiple types of dreads — but soft and out of this world Open ended Anna Curl and Ariel Curl, they’re our bread, butter and glitter — but don’t get it twisted (pun 100% intended 😜): we’re just as obsessed with crochet, smooth twist n' seal's, body waves, manasi curl and countless others for those natural-textured, “I woke up like this” vibes!! From smooth, sculpted twist-and-seals to bouncy, textured crochet, curly and straight sets — we’ve got the skills (and scarred fingertips) to bring your dream set to life!! 🙌🏼
We even offer an alternative to sew in and tape in typical human hair extensions!! Extensions, that ACTUALLY will NOT damage your hair, just to get the volume and length that you want -- ask us how!!
✨ What really sets us apart?
We offer high-quality hair extensions designed for all hair types, lifestyles, and aesthetics — but just as important as what we create is protecting people from the horror stories we hear far too often.
So many clients come to us after bad experiences with cheap, mass-produced sets — hair that itches, tangles, sheds, smells, melts, falls apart after one install, or worse… causes scalp irritation, breakage, or damage to their natural hair. Some were rushed through the process, ghosted after payment, or handed a finished set they never even got to see until it arrived.
We refuse to work that way.
Every Barbie Locs set is a collaborative experience. From the first message to the final strand, we stay in open, consistent communication — sharing progress photos, updates, and check-ins so you’re never left in the dark. You’re part of the process the entire time, because this is your hair and your confidence on the line.
Our extensions are handcrafted using premium, scalp-safe synthetics or 100% human hair, featuring our own custom, proprietary blends made with Henlon and certified hypoallergenic + antibacterial Kanekalon. Each set is intentionally built different using internal techniques and standards developed through years of experience — designed for comfort, longevity, and real-life wear, not shortcuts.
We don’t cut corners.
We don’t rush orders.
And we don’t disappear once you’ve paid.
Whether you’re coming to us for your first set or after being burned by a bad one, our goal is the same: to give you hair that feels safe, looks incredible, and restores your trust in what quality dread extensions should actually be.
✨ This isn’t cheap, fast, or disposable hair.
It’s handcrafted, collaborative, and created with care — on purpose. ✨
About Boho Barbie Locs Owner/Creator
I’m Mandi — and my whole life has been one long lesson in surviving the darkness and choosing to become the light anyway!!
I grew up in foster care, always floating, never belonging. I learned resilience before I ever learned stability. And then, as an adult, I spent 16 years trapped in a marriage that broke me in ways I still struggle to explain. I was controlled, isolated, gaslit, degraded, and convinced I was unlovable. I stopped recognizing myself. I stopped believing I mattered. I lived every day terrified, apologizing for existing…
But even in that hell, I had one reason to keep breathing: my daughter. She is the best thing I have ever done. She is the reason I stood back up when life tried to bury me. Her strength, her kindness, her fire… she saved me long before I ever saved myself!!
When the marriage finally ended — not because I found the courage to leave, but because he walked away — it shattered me… and freed me at the same time. That silence after the chaos left the house? That was the first moment I realized I could build a life that didn’t hurt. A life that was mine.
I’m still healing. I still have triggers. I still have scars no one can see. But today, I also have a love I never dreamed I’d get to experience. Chris is gentle, steady, patient, safe. He listens. He lifts me. He treats me like a human being whose heart matters. He is the proof that love isn’t supposed to break you — it’s supposed to hold you.
And through everything — the trauma, the rebuilding, the finding-myself-again — creating has been my lifeline. Boho Barbie Locs wasn’t born from business plans. It was born from survival. From needing something beautiful to pour myself into when everything else felt heavy. Every set I make is done by hand, just me and my heart, because creating quieted the noise in my head when nothing else could.
I know what it feels like to look in the mirror and not recognize the person staring back. I know what it feels like to forget your own worth. So if something I create helps even one person feel beautiful, or strong, or like they matter… that fills my soul in a way I can’t put into words.
This space — my business, my brand, my little corner of the world — is built on love, not pain. I choose compassion over cruelty. Healing over hatred. Light over everything that tried to dim me.
Boho Barbie Locs isn’t just hair.
It’s my story.
It’s my heart.
It’s my way of giving hope, beauty, and safety back to others who have ever felt unseen.
And that… that is why I’m here. 💖✨
