I took my client’s color and softened it by breaking everything up for a more dimensional, lived-in look. We also added KA Lustre extensions for extra length and volume. 🤍

One thing I love about my extension line is the ability to customize her blend wasn’t just one shade. I mixed multiple micro-wefts to create this seamless, perfectly tailored color match.

My favorite kind of transformation! ✂️

From summer blonde ➜ honey bronde 🍯
My girl came in ready to shift into something softer, warmer, and more dimensional for the new season.

We used Schwarzkopf Professional Vibrance to create this rich, honey dipped blend. It melts seamlessly from her natural depth into soft feel through the ends. The result? A bronde that feels elevated, glossy, and effortlessly natural… the perfect transition shade when you still want brightness but crave a little more richness.

Dimension and that lived in finish.
This is the kind of color that grows out beautifully!

12 Week IBE Grow OutSeamless + Flawless!

This beauty came in for her 12 week Invisible Bead Extensions maintenance, and as always, she nailed her aftercare! No bead pops, no tangles, just a smooth, clean grow out that made reinstalling her row effortless. We put it back in to bring back that beautiful length + volume and it’s a perfect reminder that extensions aren’t always about adding length… sometimes it’s just that little bit of volume that makes all the difference.

The original flip up? Still perfection after 3 months.
Healthy hair. Seamless extensions. 🥰

A stunning transformation using 18” KA Lustre extensions adding length, volume, and luxury. I custom colored this guests hair and used KA Lustre extensions to design a blend that effortlessly enhanced her natural beauty.

There’s something so empowering about loving your hair again. The right color and extensions don’t just change how you look, they change how you feel.

✨ My first KA Lustre install!
Before & after
We added length and volume using 20-inch, 100 grams of hair. This was a custom install and color designed specifically to achieve this seamless, natural blend.

Having the extensions right on hand made this transformation smooth from start to finish. Such an exciting moment for both my guest and me ,the very first of many KA Lustre transformations to come! 🤍

To everyone who came out to my Guest Appreciation Night..THANK YOU truly. My heart is so full. Seeing all of your faces, the laughter, the support, and the love in one space meant everything to me. This event wasn’t just about launching KA Lustre, it was about celebrating YOU, My incredible guests who have been beside me through every step of this journey. Whether you’ve been with me since the beginning or just recently sat in my chair, your trust, loyalty, and friendship are what make all of this possible.

Launching my own extension line has been a dream in the making, and to have it introduced surrounded by the people who made it possible felt surreal. I also want to take a moment to thank some of the most important people who helped make this night happen, My husband, my grandmother, and my mother-in-law, my close friends Tiffany & Jess for their help, love, and behind-the-scenes support made this evening everything I envisioned and more.

From the bottom of my heart, thank you for being part of this milestone and for believing in me, KA Lustre and HairByKristin 🤍

🥁 Drumroll please… the moment we’ve all been waiting for (or at least the moment I have been dreaming of for the last year!)… I give you KA Lustre

About a year ago, I set out on a mission, to create my very own hair extension brand. I wanted something more than just extensions. I wanted hair that lived up to the quality my guests deserve, hair that makes women feel powerful, confident, and absolutely stunning. After months of research, testing, and perfecting, KA Lustre was born. Over the past 8 months, several of my guests at HairByKristin have been wearing KA Lustre extensions, and the results have blown me away. The wear, the durability, the shine, it’s everything I had envisioned and more.

There’s truly nothing like the confidence that a little extra hair can give you. It’s not just about beauty, it’s about stepping into the best version of yourself. That’s what KA Lustre is here for. Starting now, KA Lustre will be available exclusively through Hair By Kristin for my guests, for women in the Plattsburgh & surrounding areas, and soon for stylists as well.

I also need to take a moment to say, I could not have done this alone. This dream would not be here without the trust of my guests, the love of my family, the encouragement of close friends, and most importantly, the constant push and unwavering support from my husband 🖤

This is more than a brand launch. It's a dream turned into reality. Thank you to my guests who trusted me during this journey, to my community for cheering me on, and to everyone who believes in the magic of great hair. Here’s to a new era of luxury extensions, right here in our hometown.

Welcome to KA Lustre.

Extensions are an investment and knowing where your hair comes from matters.

This client only wore these extensions for two weeks before they completely broke down. All that was left was the thread of the weft. THE HAIR ITSELF WAS ALMOST COMPLETELY GONE 💔

When we spend our hard-earned money on hair extensions, we’re not just buying “long hair” we’re investing in quality, confidence, and beauty. Unfortunately, too many people are misled about where their hair is sourced from, leaving them with poor quality hair.

I believe in transparency, quality, and sourcing extensions that are ethically collected and designed to last. It's so important to know where your hair is coming from. When we spend money on extensions, we’re not just buying hair, we’re investing in quality, confidence, and longevity. We all deserve hair that is as reliable as it is gorgeous!

Xoxo Kristin 💛
