Hair Color + Style

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...

One of the most deserving moms I have met called looking for a "mommy hair makeover," she was tired of neglecting her hair due to the fact that she is a single mother working full time to raise four children; two of which having severe illness.  Not all moms can afford to be off their feet during tummy tucks, etc., therefore, she decided to address her hair.   As you can see by her before picture, her hair was in dire need of a color correction and was broken due to chemical processes.  We addressed her color by doing a reverse...
