Your Dream Hair Awaits!
Extensions are truly my passion! I strive to provide the safest, most comfortable and luxury extensions using only the best ethically sourced hair.
Hand-tied extensions are applied by sewing onto a beaded row foundation. This foundation keeps the hair in natural fall, and wefts are placed below and above the beaded foundation so that the beads are hidden.
Hand-tied is actually a weft type-not a method of installation. I use hand-tied, hybrid and in certain situations volume wefts. Hybrid wefts are the thinnest, lightest, and most customizable.

Extensions Maintenance
BRUSHING -
Use a boar bristle brush to brush your hair starting at the ends, securing your hair with the other hand to prevent tension at the roots. Brush well before wetting your hair. Use the leave in conditioner as a detangling spray for easy brushing.
WASHING - Do not wash your hair until 48 hours after your hair extension installation.
Wash your hair using sulfate and protein-free shampoo and conditioner, at most 3 times a week. Half washes are recommended if washing is needed more than twice a week. This can be done by placing you extensions in a low ponytail and washing just the top portion.(natural hair) I recommend Aqua Shampoo and Conditioner or Pureology Hydrate.
After wetting the hair well, gently apply the shampoo to the root area. Using your fingers, lightly massage between the beads, separating them well to remove any residue and oils. Rinse out. Do not vigorously scrub your hair as tangling may occur. Apply conditioner from mid-length to the ends. Never condition at the root area. For deeper conditioning, use the hair mask once a week. Do not go to sleep with wet hair, as this will cause tangling and knotting.
At night, always make sure that the wefts are fully dry before going to sleep. Also, loosely braid your hair or wear your hair in a bun.
STYLING -
Your new extensions can be styled endlessly, but there are a few recommendations. Do not aim a blow dryer directly at the bead or top of weft area. Do not flat iron the beads or wefts. Begin your pass a little lower than the bond area. Apply a heat protectant spray to the ends of your extensions to protect them from excessive heat styling damage.Use an oil nightly on the ends of your hair to keep your extensions hydrated.
ACTIVITIES - Secure your hair in a ponytail or braid before any physical activity.
Before any physical activity (Pool, beach, gym, biking, ect.), secure hair in a braid, bun or under a cap. If you’re going to the pool/ocean/lake, wet your hair and apply the conditioner to your hair to seal it. Make sure to wash hair thoroughly to remove any chemicals, sweat or residue.
FAQ’s
What type of wefts do you use?
I use hand tied, hybrid and sometimes volume machine wefts. Hybrid wefts are the latest technology and are my favorite. They are stronger and more durable than hand tied since the are sewed by a machine but they are the thinnest and lightest in weight. They also do not have the return of hair (mustache) so they lay flatter and do not tangle as easily. They are the most customizable to your needs.
How are the extensions applied?
Small sections of hair are placed into beads in a row. This is the foundation that the hair is sewn on to called a beaded row. There is no heat, glue, or tape involved. They are a form of permanent extensions that need to be applied, moved up, and removed by a hairstylist.
Are extensions damaging?
When done properly by a trained professional and taken care of properly at home, they are completely safe and can actually protect your hair and help it grow. Your install is done with the hair in natural fall, meaning it's not over directed out of place which can cause damage. Your scalp health is my #1 priority and I take continuing education throughout the year to ensure you are always receiving top of the line installations and results.
Do they hurt?
Your rows should be comfortable and flexible from day one. It should not hurt, however there is additional weight being added which may be slightly uncomfortable or just feel heavy. This goes away in a few days if you experience it.
What products should I use?
I provide you with everything you will need in your complimentary shampoo, conditioner and detangler set with initial install.
Can you see the beads?
I do a hidden bead method. This means there are wefts placed underneath and above the beaded row, so your beads are never seen.
What type of hair do you use?
I only work with 100% ethically sourced remy human hair. Remy means the cuticle of the hair is all facing the same direction just like your natural hair. Ethically sourced means that the hair came from a donor that not only consented to giving their hair, but was also paid for the hair. The hair was not forcibly or unethically taken from someone.
How often are they maintained?
For the safety of your scalp, matting prevention, and the best looking extensions, maintenance is scheduled approximately every 8 weeks.
