I almost quit this industry more times than I can remember. I’m so happy something made me keep going (probably the fact that I was a C average in school - this had been my plan ALL along, Zero plan b lol
But in all honesty, there has been so many ups and downs in this industry for me. Finding the right Hair home makes all of the difference. Choose a Salon space that cares about your personal growth - and pushes you to never settle!
Shout out to every owner and client that has ever taken a chance on me 🫶🏼 ily!
Don’t get me wrong - both techniques are amazing. But, it’s important to have options so you can choose the method that best fits your current hair, lifestyle & goals.
This client originally had one row of hand-tied extensions to create density and add a more dramatic weight line.
But she travels to me from Long Island, and this summer she had several weddings to attend. She wanted more length while still being able to wear her natural curl/wave pattern.
Enter: K-Tips ⬇️
The tiny keratin bonds allow her to:
• Go 3–4 months between appointments
• Wear her hair in more versatile upstyles
• Add length without creating the heavier weight line of a weft
• Let her natural waves bounce, blend & move naturally with the extensions
The goal isn’t always MORE hair. It’s finding the right extension method for how you actually live in your hair. 👏🏼

Lost files from South Carolina / our first travel with Jamo
Visiting our friends to explore their new home and check out their DREAM that they grew into a business 🫶🏼
If you’re in the area or visiting Mount Pleasant; Stop by Bloom & Bean Flower Cafe to support a small business and have the best coffee and breakfast (I am not just saying that - I miss it!) 🤤.
One of the first things new extension clients say after switching to me is, “I can’t believe how flat my rows lay compared to my old extensions.”
One of the biggest reasons? This traveling clip.
As I sew, it removes any air pockets between the weft and the foundation while gently pushing the weft above the bead line. The result is a flatter, more secure install.
Not only do my wefts lay flat, but the beads stay safely tucked underneath the weft line. This traveling clip trick has helped me get my timing of one row down to 5-minutes. 👏🏼
