✨ A NEW CHAPTER — BELLOW HAVEN HAIR EXTENSION EDUCATOR ✨

After being behind the chair since 2000, I decided it was time to take something I’ve always loved—mentoring, teaching, and helping others—and bring it into the next chapter of my career.

I’m so excited to officially step into education as a Bellow Haven Hair Extension Educator in Houston, Texas! 🤍

Giving back has always been a huge part of who I am. From mentoring kids throughout my life to spending eight years volunteering as a medical responder, I’ve always found so much purpose in helping others grow. Now I get to bring that same passion into an industry I’ve loved for more than 25 years.

Extensions have become such an incredible part of our industry, and for me, they’re about so much more than adding length. They’re about confidence, beautiful transformations, proper education, and maintaining the health and integrity of the natural hair.

I’m incredibly excited to educate other stylists, continue teaching the amazing assistants coming up in our salon, and keep learning and growing right alongside them.

And somehow this chapter became even sweeter—my best friend back home is joining Bellow Haven as an educator in Northern California, while I represent here in Texas. Two best friends, two states, and one amazing community of artists. 🥹✂️

I absolutely love my life behind the chair and the salon family my clients and coworkers have helped me create. I’m not leaving that behind—I’m simply adding another chair to the table: educator.

Here’s to growing, teaching, creating beautiful hair, and helping the next generation of artists do the same. 🤍

Houston, TX | Bellow Haven Hair Extension Educator

One of my sweetest clients is heading into his freshman year of high school and joining ROTC! ❤️ Not only is he an incredibly talented musician who works closely with a beautiful nonprofit helping children, but he’s already choosing such an amazing path for his future.

Unfortunately, ROTC meant saying goodbye to those rockstar locks 🎸✂️

Healthy hair always comes first. ✨ We took a little break from lightening to focus on strengthening and restoring her hair—and now we’re finally ready for the fun part! Stay tuned for an incredible Texas blonde transformation with gorgeous new extensions. Sometimes the best results come from a little patience.

Just What The Doctor Ordered❤️

Hairstylists, you know when you have one of those rough weeks where you feel like tapping out?? This was one of those weeks. Then you have a new client that seems to make it all go away! Even after 20+ years in the industry you still have those appointments that make you a little nervous and this was one of them lol! I knew I had a challenge ahead! But the hair gods aligned and magic happened! And to say I was blessed with such an incredible client today is an understatement. Kim came in with some beautiful Bellami hair extensions from her previous Stylist in Michigan! She wanted to feel like herself again and this beautiful state of Texas! I think we nailed it❤️❤️

Be Good to your Investment!!

✨ EXTENSION CARE 101 ✨

If you’ve invested in beautiful extensions, let’s make sure they stay looking that way 👏

Whether you have a Hidden Bead Method or a Volume Weft, proper care at home makes ALL the difference in how long your hair lasts and how good it looks between appointments.

💡 DAILY CARE:• Brush gently 2–3x a day (always support your rows!)• Keep heat LOW—extensions don’t repair like your natural hair• Always use a heat protectant before styling• Avoid oils/conditioner directly on the beads

🛁 WASHING:• Wash 2–3x per week max• Use professional, extension-safe products• Focus conditioner mid-length to ends only• Fully dry your rows—never go to bed with wet extensions

😴 NIGHT CARE:• Loose braid or pony before bed• Silk pillowcase = less tangling & breakage

⏰ MAINTENANCE APPOINTMENTS:Not everyone is on the same schedule!

Your move-up timing depends on:• Your natural hair texture• Density• Length of extensions• How fast your hair grows• HOW YOU CARE FOR THEM AT HOME

Some clients need to come in every 6–8 weeks, while others can go longer—but waiting too long can cause matting, tension, and damage.

✨ The better your home care = the longer your hair lasts & the healthier your natural hair stays.
