It was packed but such a fun day!!

I know I talk about extensions A LOT but that’s because they truly are amazing and can offer so many options and solutions!

I personally wanted pink back in my hair but I didn’t want to lighten it as I want to keep it healthy. So I choose tape in wefts to try them out and add the pink.

IT HAS BEEN AMAZING! I have tried other methods and they just were not for me but these?! Love them and will continue to have them!

Ever wonder what our own constitutions look like? Well here you go!

First time using tape-in wefts on myself and I was using hair that is short then my natural because it was something I already had on hand!

I custom colored it to match my roots and wanted to add the pink with it! (Check out part 1 for this)

I have to say these have been so comfortable and I’m really happy with them!

Good posture is NOT in the room with us 😅

Sometime we just have to get the job done, I had to get to the beads underneath the weft and this was the only way I could see what I was doing..

3 hours behind the chair condensed into one minute ✨

For this service we combined custom foiling with K-tip extensions to create length, fullness, and added dimension all in one appointment.

Sometimes extensions aren’t just about adding hair — they’re about building the color and blend so everything looks natural together.

K-tips are one of my favorite options for clients who want something flexible, lightweight, and long-lasting (typically 4–6 months before replacement).

Every install is a little different because every client’s hair, density, and goals are different. That’s why customization matters.

New hair loading!! I’m trying out tape in wefts for a pop of color!

I miss having pink but didn’t want to lighten my hair so extensions are the best option for that!

Why did I go with tape ins? Well first of all I had the hair already soooo that just made sense 😜 but I also felt like they would be the easiest for me.

- fast install/move up appointments
- the most flexible for wearing my hair in a clip

I’m excited to see how they feel over the next few weeks!

Most people think once you’ve been seeing the same stylist for years… the process just becomes routine.

Not here.

Your hair changes.
Your density changes.
Your goals change.

So I adjust.

Every color match.
Every weft placement.
Every bead.

Extensions should never look “installed.”
They should look like you just naturally have really good hair.

That’s why I customize every single appointment — even for my long-time clients.

If you’re in Washington and looking for:
• custom hair extensions
• seamless weft extensions
• lived-in color with extensions
• hair extensions for fine hair
• or an extension specialist near Seattle / Bellevue

I’d love to create something that actually fits you.

Because one method doesn’t work for everyone — and your hair deserves more than a copy-and-paste formula.

DM “EXTENSIONS” to start the consult process.

Not every head of hair needs the same thing.
Not every lifestyle can maintain the same thing.
Not every density blends the same way.

And that’s why I’ve taken the time to learn almost every extension method out there.

Because this isn’t about what’s trending.
It’s about what actually works for you.

Some clients need flexibility.
Some need longevity.
Some need low maintenance.
Some need scalp coverage.
Some need fullness without tension.

One method cannot solve every problem.

This is a sew in weft — and for this client, it made sense.
But the best method? It the one that fits your hair, your routine, your goals, and your budget.

That’s it. 🤍

“The top of my hair is the first thing people see.”

That’s what she told me.

And when you have fine hair or thinning at the top, it doesn’t matter how long the rest of it is.
It doesn’t matter how well you style it.

That one area becomes the loudest thing in the room.

We’ve done extensions before. She’s worn clip-ins.
But none of it quieted the voice in her head about the top.

Today wasn’t about more hair.
It was about relief.

It was about placing this piece exactly where she feels most exposed.
Matching the color so it melts into her own.
Installing it so it doesn’t sit on her hair… it becomes part of it.

So she doesn’t have to think about it every time she walks into a room.

This is what it looks like when we stop working around the insecurity —
and finally address it.

Come back in a few days for the reveal!

Model call 🤍

I’m looking for a few models to help me showcase different hair loss solutions — integration methods, closures, and wigs.

This is for you if:
• You’re experiencing thinning or hair loss
• You’re open to being photographed/videoed
• You want a customized, thoughtful approach
• You’re okay sharing your experience to help others

Every head is different.
Every solution is intentional.

If this feels aligned, comment with “MODEL” and I’ll send you a message with the next steps!

Happy 3 years .salon 💗💗 thank you to all of our client who have supported us! So excited for more years to come 🥰

Let’s talk stress — because cortisol is that little hormone we love to hate 😅
When stress levels rise, it can literally push hair out of its growth phase (called Telogen Effluvium).
That’s why you might notice shedding a few months after a stressful event — your body still catching up.
Reminder: your body is protecting you, not punishing you. Rest, breathe, and nourish. 💛
