Pearl Rock Hair Extensions

AUGUST EDIT

Better late than never… and this is the THIRD time I’m writing the captions for this post, so pleeeeease show me some love if you enjoy reading it. Lol and 🫠🫠🫠

Colour matching and doing bridal extensions featured strongly in August, with more brides than ever, sitting in my chair last month! The exciting news, I have plenty more brides to come in September! Yay!!

Fun fact: during my 20s, I worked mostly in the bridal industry and loved the industry so much! I still get a kick out of hearing about all my brides’ wedding styling and planning!

Pretty, sparkly hair tinsel to celebrate a 18th birthday. Never let anyone dull your sparkle, honey ✨

Pearlescent business cards have arrived! Take one and pass it on xx

Dad’s 83rd birthday happened in mid-August. We had beautiful family time together, a special dinner followed by a mountain of fluffy pancakes on his birthday morning!

Many of you know my dad hasn’t been in the best health in recent months and have asked after him and sent me thoughtful messages of kindness and care. Thank you all, I’m truly grateful for your love and support xx

Diving into astrology and sharing some intriguing natal chart conversations with clients ✨

I hit the 50 x five star Google review milestone last week, thanks to Meaghan, Christine and Hayley. Thank you ladies and thank you to every client who has left me a review so far.
If I’ve done your hair and you’ve enjoyed it and feel compelled to do so, I’d be so grateful if you would also leave me a review. There’s a link in the Linktree in my bio.

Enjoying all the colours of spring in my backyard. These hyacinths have been such a joy to watch as they emerge from the soil into these beautiful blooms!

If you wear wefts and you thought you couldn’t wear your hair in a high, slick pony, think again! Want to know how? Ask me at your next appointment.

Also, I’ve just discovered the Abraham Lincoln hairstyle of the young ones is a phenomenon amongst all primary school-aged girls and not just at my place. Ha ha! Bring back the high pony for all, I say!

CHLOE PART 2

Another day, another bride! Beautiful Chloe is getting married next week and for her bridal look, is having a glam big hair look, so extensions were a non negotiable!

Chloe wears 100 grams of invisible weft extensions plus face framing, mini keratin bonds, to give her more volume and length around her face, an area which generally experiences a lot of breakage.

Wishing you the most amazing wedding day, Chloe and a lifetime of happiness in your marriage. 🤍🤍🤍

Chloe’s wedding hair to be styled by Bridal Hair/ Braidqueen 👑.

This beautiful bride, who shall remain nameless, is heading off to elope very soon, so she wanted to add a small amount of length and volume to her hair.
We used 50 grams of an exclusive PRHE shade of blonde with a darker root to blend more effortlessly. The result is subtle, but makes such a difference to her overall density and volume, especially when viewed from the front.

Are you planning your elopement or wedding? If you’ve been thinking about hair extensions, DM me for my recommendation about what type of extensions would work best for your bridal look.

HERE COMES THE BRIDE!

Beautiful Alicia is about to tie the knot and wanted lush, long locks for her special day. We used 150 grams of 22 inch, custom made invisible wefts, to achieve Alicia’s desired colour. This is her second set of PRHE extensions and I’m so honoured to be part of her bridal look team. Thank you so much for choosing me to be your hair extension lady, gorgeous xx

Wishing you an absolutely beautiful wedding day and a marriage that lasts a lifetime 🤍🤍🤍

Alicia’s colour is by Melbourne Colour + Long Hair Specialist and her bridal hair styling will be done by Bridal Hair/ Braidqueen 👑

Are you a bride to be and considering hair extensions? DM me to choose a hair extension artist who will work with your wedding day hair look, for the perfect fitting for your stylist to work with.

Looking for a hair extension technician or just exploring the idea of hair extensions for the first time? Be sure that you’re choosing a salon which proudly shares photos of their workmanship from underneath. It’s great to see a beautifully finished head of bouncy, glossy waves, but it you’ve got a messy tangle of threads underneath, you’re not getting the best that’s available.

August 3-8 • weekly edit

Thank you to every beautiful client who came in to see me this week. You made my week so bright and filled my cup right up 🥰

Admiring the current collection and realising how far I’ve come in the last few years. Building up hair extension stock is an investment that takes time and patience. Isn’t she beautiful?

My first hyacinth bulb has really come along. Keep swiping to see how much she grew in two days! Two weeks ago, this was literally a pot of dirt with some bulbs inside it!

Looking very forward to this bridal transformation on the most shiny, sparkly virgin hair on my new client.

Entertaining my fixation with beads and trying to get some good shots for content.
If you’re a client of mine, you’ll know how much importance I place on the correct bead choice and getting the foundation of my wefts correct.

Content creation is a huge part of my week. Here’s a sneak peek of something that’s on the way.

When your client’s mum (who is also a client 🥰) takes some action shots of the work in progress. It makes me cringe at how long it can take me to get the perfect shot sometimes. She just wants to get out and show the world her amazing, new hair and here I am, getting every hair in place for the “money shot” before she can leave 🤦🏽‍♀️

Thanks for the photos, Andrea 🖤

The “money shot” 📸
Belle’s brief was a little bit of length and volume, with finer ends that aren’t too heavy. We used a custom made weft for her, to bring out the warmer tones in her lovely, dark hair.

… and here she is just two days later! Hands up if you want a progress shot for next Friday.

I can’t wait to see this beauty in full bloom.

Saturday afternoon. It was a big week and this long black hit the spot before resetting the salon for another week of amazing hair, clients and conversation! See you next week, ladies ✨🤍

Meet Kaz 💙
Kaz was skeptical about wefts at first, in fact, she didn’t like it when I pinned one into her hair to give her an idea of what it would look like… despite that, by the end of our consultation, she decided to give them a try before her final verdict.

A former hairdresser, she knew exactly what she wanted to achieve, which was lightweight, natural-looking volume in a light, bright blonde. We used 50 grams 14 inch, custom-made wefts, cut to her preferred length and feathered out at the ends, to give her a softer, lighter finish.

Kaz loves the result, which looks so natural and soft, framing her face beautifully and, as someone who wears her hair in a ponytail most days, will have a much more lush pony to show off!

Because your clients deserve a customised solution to hair extensions!

Every client has a different hair type and density, so why would you use a great, big 5mm micro bead on a client with very fine hair, the same type of bead you use on a client with a thick, heavy mane? It defies logic and sets you up for slippage, fix ups and (worst of all) damage.

I keep five sizes of beads in my kit, in multiple colours, pre-loaded on bead threaders, to ensure that I have the correct bead for every client, ready to go at all times.

If you’re not sure how to customise your weft application with the correct beads, save this post for later or DM me with your specific questions.

I have spent so long on what was supposed to be a short, sharp weekly recap post… please humour me by reading all my captions 🥴😵‍💫😆

When a meticulous install meets amazing client aftercare, beautiful things happen, such as this clean, smooth six week growout!

I was bowled over by this super lovely comment in a private Facebook group this week.

To all the hairdressers who recommend me to their clients, and all my loyal clients who recommend me to their family, friends and colleagues, thank you so much. It means a lot to me that you think my work is good enough to share.

When your ‘nail inspo’ Pinterest board is 50 shades of French and n**e and you finally happen upon the perfect shade of blushy, pastel pink at your nail salon, best believe that find is being permanently documented on the camera roll for future reference!

The very first flower of my spring bulbs this year. Clients will get to see my anemones and ranunculi blooming in the front garden within the next few weeks!

One of my favourite services is corrections. Reworking the layout of the colours for a better blend, finding a better placement for the client’s hair density and hairline, giving them a flatter, newer install than they thought possible… there’s so many things that make a hair extension install work and getting each one right is so important to achieve an optimal result.

Working from home, doing a job I love with a passion and spending every day in the company of my clients, is the best chapter of my whole career… I am so abundantly grateful for every day.

Seriously… if this is what you’ve been given, but you want (and deserve) better, let’s get your correction booked in. Think improved placement, a more blended cut and neater, less visible stitches. DM me or complete a new client application form to go on my waitlist, just like this client did!

I’ve been so lucky to have loads of foiled blonde clients of late. Some of t
