Kalin At Hi-Maintenance salon and spa

I took the Harper Ellis topper method class a few years ago. But I have recently started to add time to my schedule to focus more on this niche.
Here is a before and after

Fresh root color, and top foil, and move up. 🤤.

Today was a full refresh for my friend!
Root color, full foil, highlight and lowlights to had the max amount of dimension, she also wanted to be super light. So best of both worlds!🤍

The fuller side of life🤭 lots of new extension sets have been getting placed! And everyone’s been switching up their normal colors, and I love this change for everyone!! 🤍 hope everyone is enjoying their holiday season, as much as I am!

😍welcome to the long locks club! 😍

So back story my lovely new guest has had a previous bad experience with extensions honestly probably the worst I’ve ever seen. Because she lost a pretty good size of spot of hair… worst part is the hair never grew back 😭😦
So instead of her buying 4 wefts we are being extra careful and only have three in her head right now. Making sure her hair can hold the weight. It felt super strong. But sometimes you just never know. And I will see her back in 6 weeks instead of 8. I would rather be on the cautious side vs have another ptsd story from extensions happen!!

So seamless though!!!! And guess what this all happened in an hour from start to finish, including washing her hair, I flat ironed her hair and the extensions to finish!

I bet all will go well to add a fourth piece! I can’t wait till we do soo!

This might be my favorite change to date!!!
Before we had lots and lots of breakage from lightener. so sad you can see he short the pieces are in one of the side photos. She’s always been a blonde her whole life so this is the darkest she’s ever been. So we ordered two wefts that matched her hair color. then one of just a light Low light to give her that contract. And one bright bright blonde, so she gets that pop!
I also only did a root color to get rid of her greys smudged it down a little bit, just so we broke up that line. So her hair get back on track to being healthy!
I purchased 18 inches ( unfortunately there’s no 16 inches) we cut two inches off! One row! Love this!

Brand new set of extensions!

I’m literally so blessed in my “ new ish “ space. Last year I would have laughed at you if you told me I was going to have 6 new extension clients in just the beginning of 2023. It’s what I’ve always wanted to do. And the only thing I wanted to do. And it’s slowly becoming that! And I’m so excited! Thank you everyone for the referrals and trusting me with your investments. 🤍🤍

How could I forget to post this mega change! So I don’t typically do keratin bond extensions, but I will for this lady 😘. So I completely forgot a before, I told myself 50,000 times I would take one! But here’s the side before I placed extensions in it. What I did was brick lay the hair extensions, I spaced them out a little further then I normally would only because we weren’t going for length, we just wanted to add a little thickness. which was wonderful for both of us! They Keratin bonds are the thickest for hair grams I’ve ever seen and used, which is absolutely amazing!!! But can make it unrealistic super quickly. last time we had to thin the extensions out a TON! Which is super sad! But that’s what they looked like long! Still really blended, I actually only used 6 pieces of her dark hair color! The rest was all blonde and reds! Super fun! My favorite hair length we’ve ever done on her!
