The page may have been a little quiet with the opening of Beck The Collective but this cozy little extension studio is still very much open and doing what it does best.
We lovingly call it my batcave—where I retreat to stitch rows, focus deeply, and create transformations one row at a time. ✨
Some days you’ll still find me upstairs soaking in the natural light and the hum of my team… but this space? This is where the magic gets quiet and intentional.
Here’s a close-up of some pretty little stitches—just a reminder of what I do.
Fun fact: we now have 2 newly certified IBE stylists, with 3 more currently in training. The craft continues, the standard stays high.
Intention in every strand.

Intentional in every strand.
I don’t just do color—I craft it.
Every formula is mixed with purpose, precision, and a little magic.
I choose Davines because it’s clean, conscious, and consistent.
Rich pigments, long-lasting shine, and a commitment to both performance and planet—it checks every box.
Whether we’re refreshing your lived-in blonde or diving into a full transformation, the goal stays the same:
healthy hair, beautiful results, and color that feels like you.
Come see what intentional color looks (and feels) like.

✨New here? Or just forgot who’s behind the chair?
I’m Jess — extension specialist, scalp health nerd, and your favorite boho-luxe hype girl. Founder of Sage + Strands Extension Studio and full-time magician when it comes to blending 22 inches of blonde into “wait… that’s not her real hair?!”
I’ve been doing hair since 2004, extensions since 2010, and I’m an Elite Artist with Invisible Bead Extensions® — so you could say I’ve got a thing for laid-back luxury and intentional transformations.
Outside the studio, I’m a mom to the coolest little boy (Hawken), a wife, a dog mom to the biggest goofball (Baloo) and the duo terrors (Leonard & Penny) and a woman fueled by iced coffee and big dreams (with a side of dry shampoo).
Whether you’re here for the hair inspo, the extension education, or to finally book that life-changing install… welcome. You just might be my next dream client 💭✨

Not your mama’s mousse.
OI Soufflé by Davines brings that barely-there, pillowy volume without the crunch, flakes, or buildup. Just shiny, touchable fullness and a scent that turns heads.✨
Loved by fine-haired clients + extension babes alike.
Ask for it at your next appointment or grab one to elevate your at-home styling.
