Posted by Justin Trombetti on September 20, 2016

Posted by Justin Trombetti on April 18, 2016

Here at Babe, we talk a lot about hair extension stylists, specialists, and—most recently—connoisseurs! But if there’s such a thing as a “specialist” or “connoisseur” in an industry, shouldn’t there be a “generalist” or “hobbyist,” too?

In a nutshell, an extensions generalist is someone who uses all of the available hair extension methods. This person is competent at wielding I-Tip, Fusion, and Tape-In extensions alike—maybe even Flat-Tip, if they’re really up on the trends. They tend...
