Jodi at August Pearl Salon

Okay, but what if you LOVE your curls…you just wish they’d behave a little better? 👀

That’s exactly what we were going for with this Qiqi Hair Controller treatment.

She wasn’t looking to get rid of her texture or walk out with permanently straight hair. She loves her curls. 🥰

What she wanted was less frizz, easier manageability, healthier-feeling hair and curls that didn’t require quite so much work.

And THAT is one of my favorite things about Qiqi — it’s customizable.

This isn’t a one-result-fits-everyone smoothing service. We can adjust how we perform the treatment based on your texture, your lifestyle and how much of your natural curl pattern you want to maintain.

For her, the assignment was:

✨ Keep the curls
✨ Reduce the frizz
✨ Make wash + styling days easier
✨ Improve manageability
✨ Leave the hair feeling smoother, softer + healthier

Basically: same gorgeous head of hair, significantly less arguing with it. 😂👏🏽

Because “smoothing treatment” doesn’t automatically have to mean straight.

Sometimes we’re just asking your hair to calm down a lil bit. 😂

If you’ve been curious about Qiqi but you’re worried about losing the texture you love, come talk to us! A complimentary consultation gives us a chance to look at your hair, talk about your goals and determine exactly what we’d want Qiqi to do for YOU. 🤎

Extensions are the transformation you see — but healthy natural hair is always the priority underneath. 🤎

For this appointment, we added the length + fullness she wanted while creating a blend that works beautifully with where her color is right now.

But we’re not done. 👀

At her next appointment, we’ll work on getting her natural color brighter and closer to her extension shade — without sacrificing the health of her hair just to get there faster.

Because for us, the goal isn’t just gorgeous extensions.

It’s gorgeous extensions AND healthy natural hair.

That means:
✨ Regular trims to keep her ends strong
✨ K18 treatments to support the hair through chemical services
✨ Intentional lightening instead of pushing the hair too far in one appointment
✨ Proper extension maintenance + reinstall appointments
✨ Consistent home care with the Pureology Hydrate line
✨ And a long-term plan for the hair underneath the extensions

Extensions should never mean ignoring your natural hair.

We want the hair underneath to be healthier six months from now than it was when we started. 🤍

So yes, this install is beautiful — but we’re really excited to see what her hair looks like after a few appointments of intentional color, maintenance + healthy hair care.

We don’t do bead slide-ups—and there’s a reason. 👀

When it’s time for weft maintenance, we believe your natural hair and scalp deserve just as much attention as your extensions.

✨ 1. We reset the foundation.
Your hair has grown and shed since your last appointment. Instead of simply sliding the existing beads back toward the scalp, we completely remove the wefts, release trapped shedding, assess your natural hair and create a fresh foundation for your reinstall.

🫧 2. We give your scalp + natural hair a REAL reset.
Once everything is removed, we detox and thoroughly cleanse your hair and scalp, deep condition, detangle and trim your natural hair as needed. It’s the perfect opportunity to care for the hair that’s been living underneath those wefts.

🤍 3. We reinstall for the hair you have NOW.
Your density, growth and how your extensions have worn can change between appointments. A full reinstall allows us to reassess placement and tension before reinstalling, blending and styling everything again.

Because extension maintenance shouldn’t just mean “move the extensions back up.”

It should mean maintaining the health of the hair underneath them, too.

Our goal isn’t just for your extensions to look beautiful today. We want your natural hair to still be healthy after months—or years—of wearing them.

Remove. Reset. Treat. Trim. Reinstall. Blend. Style.

That’s what a move-up looks like at August Pearl Salon. 🤍
