Posted by Justin Trombetti on January 14, 2013

This the first part in a two-part series about consultations. Next week, we will cover consultations from the stylists’ perspective, but this week we’re focusing on what the client can do to make the consultation a success. It’s completely normal to feel a bit nervous before getting extensions for the first time, but the consultation will help you know exactly what to expect.

Posted by Justin Trombetti on December 07, 2012

You love your new hair and the amazing length and volume you got from your hair extensions. But the point of hair extensions is that they are not supposed to look like hair extensions. It’s like a magician revealing his secrets. The last thing you want is for others to see your bonds, beads, clips, or tape. So how do you keep those hidden away without compromising style?
