Hair Color + Style

I want to compare the top hair extension brand in the industry compared to our boutique brand, Bellami hair extensions vs. Veila hair extensions.  In no way do we have the buying power or marketing budget like Bellami hair, but what we do have is superior hair, a lower price point, a design they do not supply, and one-on-one customer service.  Below is a breakdown of each talking point. 1). Bellami Hair Extensions works with twelve Asian suppliers which allow for continuance stock, and they are purchasing hair at a lower rate than other suppliers due to their amazing buying...

Believe it or not, there are a handful of hair extension colors that are quite popular!  Solid shades tend to be the best sellers, second is two-tone piano shades, third is balayage shades, but there are colors that are difficult to match; those being subtle hues, color variations, and tones for natural hair.  These tones tend to live in the blonde shade category, and at Veila Pull-Thru Hair Virgin Extensions, we created the "Reversible" hair color which is very similar in shade.  One side is slightly darker/lighter than the other and can be applied as such.   Our new hair colors...

During these difficult days between Covid, worldwide unrest, and a recession, how does one possibly afford high-quality hair extensions?  The answer is investing in a method of hair extensions that are re-usable, made of virgin hair as well as durable.  The method of hair extension I am speaking of is Veila Pull-Thru, the method of attachment is made of strong polyurethane with holes that hair can be pulled through.  The attachment area receives very little stress unlike hand-tied wefts, which are sewn around a grid of micro-links, after removing and resewing the hand-tied weft eventually breaks down and is rendered...

A highlighting cap, aka frosting cap, is a method where hair is pulled through tiny holes of a cap, later processed with bleach or hair color.  The highlighting cap has resurged in the salon industry gaining popularity in Brazil.  In the 1980s the highlighting cap was all the rage; it enabled a stylist to create a heavy blonde effect without changing the root color (think of Madonna's early days).  At that time,  dark roots and blonde hair were en vogue.   The highlighting cap will give optimum color coverage in a "baby-light" fashion.  After processing the roots can be softened with...

It is beautiful to see natural hair beauties embracing their natural hair texture and the movement is trending towards natural hair styling vs. hair straightening.  There are still many women with natural hair, that prefer smoothing and straightening their hair and it is paramount to do so without causing damage.   Natural hair texture varies tremendously, straightening or smoothing will vary based on texture and outcome.  Many of our clients prefer individual strand hair extensions, i.e. i-tip links or keratin bonds, in order for these methods to grow perfectly, a smoother hair texture is desirable.  Oval-shaped hair follicles produce curly hair,...

As a hair extension expert for over 20 years, I am shocked to discover that salons are using only one or two types of hair extensions, which are often hand-tied tracks or tape hair extensions.  In an industry filled with countless methods of hair extensions, learning one method of extensions is a mistake.  Case in point, a lovely young lady with very fine hair came to Noelle Salon wanting to fix multiple hand-tied tracks which were falling out of her hair, they were not improperly applied, they were too heavy for her own fine hair to support.  The extensions were...
