Custom color and invisible hair extension specialist
Healthy extensions don’t happen by accident.
This is what 7 weeks of healthy grow-out should look like. 👉🏻
A great grow-out starts with a meticulous install….
Every section, bead placement, and tension point matters.
But of course, it takes teamwork. The healthiest grow-outs happen when a precise install is paired with consistent at-home care. When you follow your maintenance routine, your extensions can look and feel just as good at week 7 as they did on day 1.
My goal is to create extensions that are:
✨ Comfortable from day one
✨ Safe for your natural hair
✨ Virtually undetectable
✨ Healthy throughout the entire wear
Beautiful hair is important—but protecting your natural hair will always be my first priority. 🤍

Let’s answer a few more! 👇🏼
1. “How much do hair extensions cost?”
Every extension experience is customized, so pricing varies based on your goals, the amount of hair needed, and the method that’s best for your natural hair. Whether you’re looking for a little extra fullness or a complete transformation, I will create a plan that’s tailored perfectly for you.
2. “How often will I need maintenance?”
Most of my clients come in every 6–8 weeks for a fresh install. This is when I will remove your extensions, check the health of your scalp, refresh your color (when needed) and re-install your extensions. This is what keeps your extensions feeling comfortable, blended and most importantly, helps protect the health of your natural hair.
3. “Which extension method is best for my hair?”
There isn’t one method that’s best for everyone—
that’s why consultations are so important.
The right method depends on your hair density, lifestyle, maintenance preferences, and your end goal. My job is to recommend what will give you the most beautiful, natural-looking results while keeping the health and integrity of your natural hair my top priority. 🤍

Think your hair needs more protein?? 👀
It might actually need MORE moisture!
One of the most common things Ive been seeing behind the chair lately both with extensions and natural hair—is protein overload.
Protein has its place. It can help strengthen damaged hair, improve elasticity, and support repair when used correctly. But too much protein can leave hair feeling:
✨ Dry
✨ Rough or crunchy
✨ Tangles easily
✨ Brittle and prone to breakage
✨ Stiff with less movement
And here’s the tricky part: protein is hiding in a LOT of products marketed as “repairing,” “strengthening,” and even some “hydrating” formulas. And don’t feel silly if you fell for it because I did too 🫣
If you’re using a protein shampoo or treatment, I recommend balancing it with a hydrating shampoo and a moisture-rich conditioning mask. Hair needs both strength and moisture, and finding the right balance is what keeps it looking and feeling healthy.
For my extension clients, I typically lean toward hydration-focused products because extensions have already been heavily processed and generally need moisture far more than additional protein. I make sure to use a hydrating leave in conditioner and serum as well to make sure my hair and extensions stay healthy, tangle free and help them last longer.
Not sure if your hair is struggling from protein overload or simply needs a different routine? Send me a message and I’ll help point you in the right direction. 💌
