ELM SALON

THE ART OF A SEAMLESS BLEND ✨

Hair by Liz | IBE Certified Extension Artist

For this transformation, I used two rows of Habit Hair in three different shades, strategically placed and customized to complement her natural color. Rather than relying on one solid extension color, multiple tones were intentionally blended throughout the installation to create dimension, movement, and an incredibly natural transition from her own hair into the extensions.

The result? Long, luxurious hair that looks like it could have grown this way. ✨

This is the art of luxury extensions:
🤎 Customized color selection
🤎 Multiple shades for dimensional blending
🤎 Strategic, seamless placement
🤎 Two-row IBE installation
🤎 Premium Habit Hair
🤎 Natural movement + fullness
🤎 A customized extension plan designed specifically for her

Invisible Bead Extensions (IBE) are designed to create a comfortable, discreet installation with a seamless appearance when properly customized and maintained by a certified artist.

If you’re considering luxury hair extensions in North Carolina, the consultation is where we create the plan for your hair, lifestyle, color, and desired result.

Subtle, but impactful brunette. 🤎✨

A deep, glossy brunette with subtle warmth, beautiful movement, and the softest face-framing layers. The perfect combination of rich color + effortless shape for that polished, expensive-looking finish.

Sometimes it’s not about going lighter—it’s about making your brunette richer, shinier, and more dimensional. 🤎

A little rich brunette… with a subtle cherry cola twist. 🤎🍒 Hair by - Laura

Deep, glossy brunette meets the softest hint of cherry warmth for a color that feels rich, dimensional, and effortlessly expensive.

Not quite brunette.
Not quite cherry cola.
Somewhere perfectly in between. ✨

The kind of color that looks deep and sophisticated indoors… then catches that beautiful cherry-toned warmth in the light.

If you’ve been wanting to add something different to your brunette without committing to a bold red, this is your sign. 🤎

and send it to your brunette bestie who needs a little cherry in her life. 😉

THINKING ABOUT GROWING OUT YOUR GRAY? READ THIS. 🤍
Hair by- Liz

Going gray doesn’t have to mean going ashy, silver, or completely color-free.

In fact, one of my favorite ways to transition a client away from all-over color is warm gray blending — creating a customized combination of lightness, dimension, and softness that works with your natural gray rather than constantly covering it.

✨ The goal?
To blur the line between your natural gray and your existing color so your hair continues to look beautiful as it grows.

And here’s the part my clients LOVE…

Instead of feeling like you have to cover your roots every 4–6 weeks, a thoughtfully designed gray-blending plan can allow your color to grow out much more naturally — with some clients able to stretch their color appointments to every few months.

There’s a difference—and it’s in the details. ✨

Luxury extensions are more than beautiful hair. IBE by our certified stylist Liz means specialized training in proper placement, tension, sectioning, and technique to create a seamless, comfortable, natural-looking result.

Because when it comes to extensions, who installs them matters just as much as the hair itself. 🤍
