Until recently I felt the only real option for the occasional, requisite dreadlock tune-up (original dread-installation, extentions, or anything else dread-related) was to make the pilgrimage down to Denver. That or stumble across a duffle-bag full of money on my way to one of the two or three downtown Boulder boutiques that cater to trust-funders and overpaid tech gurus. Then I stumbled upon Mylk House (Jessie in particular), and all that changed. Though Jessie professes to be a bit of a Dreadtech "newbie" I guarantee you her skill set is as solid as anyone I have ever come across in Denver (or Boulder, or anywhere else for that matter). Not only that, the layout and decor are the bomb. Don't let the quasi-industrial look of the building throw you, the interior finish-out is like stepping into the vast yet Uber-comfortable living room of a super-cool friend with a penchant for vintage rock imagery. When the weather warms, instead of driving my truck down from the mountains I'll roll my Harley down the hill, see if they'll let me park it the foyer. I'd fit right it. These chicks are so chill they'd probably let me.
Don't let my comments above lead you to believe these gals work on the cheap -- if price point is the only criteria you care about recruit a friend, buy a crochet needle and a handle of cheap vodka, watch a couple YouTube videos and have yourself a ball (please text me a pic of the end result, I do enjoy a good laugh). Like anyone else they gotta squeak out a living and keep the lights in their awesome space on. But were you to draw straight line from me to location; from me to technician; from me to price-point; to motif; to ambiance; to the awesome energy of the place and the people; those lines would all intersect at Mylk House.
Thanks a million Jessie, see ya in about a month !!! read more
