Hair Color + Style

Brazilian hair is highly desirable for hair extensions, but "real" Brazilian hair is hard to obtain.  There are many factories in China alleging their hair is from Brazil when it is not. The only way to know if the hair is to work with a reputable hair agent, check the shipping, and perform a side-by-side comparison to other types of hair.  The Brazilian hair will be abundant yet supple, will have a natural wave, and when held to the light there will be no visible white particles.  The white particles are the bulb of the hair (root), this means the...

Do you or someone you love pull out your hair or eyelashes? You are not alone. At my stand-alone salon, we have hundreds of clients that exhibit this behavior. The condition is Trichotillomania which is a Body-Focused Repetitive Behavior considered to be an impulse-control issue. BFRB's, such as nail-biting, has only recently been acknowledged by the medical community. We have been aware of this condition for nearly two decades. It has been our goal to educate the public regarding Trichotillomania and the various ways it presents.   We are grateful to be featured in magazines, news shows, and newspapers, sharing...

Keratin bonded hair extensions can be reused although it is not a common practice.  Since keratin hair extensions are worn up to 6 months, there may be visible wear and tear on the hair.  If the extensions are maintained properly at home and are made of 100% Remy human hair, they may be reused.  It is important to communicate to your stylists that your intention is to reuse the hair extensions and you may want to keep them slightly longer in length because the bonding area will be cut back.  Since the extensions shed while wearing, you may need to...

Fixing damaged hair can be achieved by adding hair extensions, hair toppers, or both.  Damaged hair can occur for a plethora of reasons; illness, medication, hair loss, and overprocessing.  In the old days, covering hair with a wig or a haircut was the only option.  Today, we use a variety of methods to immediately fix damaged hair. There are many products on the market that claim to fix damaged hair, over time this may be the case, but our approach achieves instant gratification. The below-pictured client has been growing her hair damaged due to Trichotillomania for over a year.  Her...

As weft hair extensions gain momentum in the hair extension industry, new  types of wefts enter the marketplace, the latest weft is the "skin weft."  The skin weft differs from hand-tied wefts in a variety of ways, most importantly, the attachment area (weft).  The skin weft, a.k.a. "hybrid weft" is made of a silicone injected attachment.  They are deemed to lay flat, mold to the head shape, and do not slip as easily as hand-tied or machine wefts.  They are essentially a machine weft (same size), with a flat attachment.  If you are familiar with tape extensions, the attachment area...

I have worked many years with clients experiencing hair loss, my motto is if you have hair that will potentially grow back - do not use glue down hair systems aka hair toppers.  The only candidate for a glue or hair down system is one who is completely bald with hair follicles that will not grow back. This is the case with many men (the hair is shaved before gluing), but women with Alopecia Areata (autoimmune disorder), fungal infections, thinning hair loss, or Trichotillomania may have the ability to grow back their own hair. The glue-down system is not only messy, but...
