Hair Stylist at Menagerie Style House

05/26/2026

What am I doing in my downtime at work? Practicing. Over and over again to build this new skill.

Extension education can vary a lot. Some stylists may take a class and feel ready to specialize right away, but I’ve personally always wanted a lot of practice before offering a new service behind the chair.

Over the last 9 months, I’ve been taking online classes, practicing on mannequins, attending hands-on education, asking questions, and then practicing even more. I even tag teamed my first model with a coworker so I had extra support every step of the way.

I’m a perfectionist in the best and worst ways 😅 so I like to keep practicing until I feel really confident in what I’m doing. and then continue learning more.

If you’ve ever wondered about the level of care and safety going into your extension service, know that it’s always my top priority. 🖤

I chose to learn this specific type of extensions because of their versatility, discreetness, and blend. If you’ve never had, seen, or heard of k-tips, you’re in for a treat because these are so different from other extension methods.

I’m currently accepting a limited number of model guests at an introductory investment and extension consultations are complimentary during this time. So if you have more questions or are ready to get your dream hair, set up your consult now! Can’t wait to see you! 🖤

Honestly, sometimes the hair is just part of it.

She’s one of my favorite guests to spend a few hours with talking about life, catching up, and then she leaves with really good hair. 🖤

Soft dimension and a fresh cut for one of my favorite humans who always hypes me up about how much she loves her hair at the end of each appointment.

We hadn’t seen each other in a while and it was so nice to catch up a bit and be able to take care of her. Often times hair appointments aren’t just about the hair. They’re about relaxation, self care, and feeling like yourself again.

If it’s been a while, this is your sign to come hang with me for a couple of hours, relax, get pampered, and love your hair. 🖤

Education days are my favorite days 🖤

I’ve always been drawn to education and one of the things I love most about this industry is that there’s always more to learn. The further I’ve gotten into my career, the less often education feels completely new, which is why diving into extensions has been so exciting! It truly feels like learning a whole new craft.

For the past several months I’ve been learning through the online platform, and this week I finally attended my in-person class! Getting hands on practice and feedback really helped everything click, especially the last few little details I’ve been working through.

Even better, I got to experience the class alongside my coworkers, which made it such a fun bonding experience. Pun intended 😂

I’m officially looking for models for k-tip extensions! If you’re interested, reach out to me directly or contact the salon to be added to my model list. I will be taking consultations soon and I can’t wait to begin offering this service. 🖤

We went brighter, more dimensional, and completely customized, adding both highlights and lowlights in all the right places. The work itself is technical, but the experience is what matters the most to me. Time, attention to detail, and a chair where you can actually relax is what luxury is built on in my perspective. 🖤

Sometimes all you need is a refresh. ✨
We took her slightly faded red, brought the vibrancy back, and added highlights and lowlights to create depth, contrast, and movement, so the color feels rich, not flat.

I’m always grateful when guests trust me with their hair, but what matters most to me is how they feel when they leave: relaxed, confident, and like themselves again. Thoughtful color along with thoughtful care will always be my priority. 🖤

My first time in NYC! 🏙️🗽🍎

I had so much fun these last three days with my bestest friend! From all the delicious food and drinks, to the cat cafe, to big city lights, it was a trip to remember. Especially the part where we missed our flight home because I very strongly underestimated the difference between getting to RDU and getting to (and through) JFK. 😅 But alas, we made it home on another flight only two hours later, so I will still consider it a win.

My body feels very broken after all the walking, but my spirit feels so happy to have had a girls trip and so much bonding. Here’s to hopefully many more trips throughout life together. 🥂🖤

We decided to call this color winter berry 💕 after doing a lighter, summer version previously

I love a color that’s rich, dimensional, and designed to grow out beautifully so she can enjoy months of effortless wear. Luxury doesn’t always mean high-maintenance. Sometimes it’s just intentional color formulation and a little relaxy time at the shampoo bowl. 💆🏻‍♀️
