the in person consultation
Your first visit begins with an in-depth consultation where we:

Assess your scalp and hair health
-
Discuss your lifestyle, goals, and maintenance preferences
-
Recommend the best solution (extensions, mesh, K-tips, or a combination)
-
Create a fully customized plan to restore fullness and confidence
At this point, if you are ready to go ahead and book your install date (YAY!), you will pay 50% of your install price as a non-refundable retainer to secure that appointment. This insures I have plenty of time booked off JUST for you. I'll also be able to go ahead and make any custom color adjustments to your extensions prior to your appointment if need be.

the install appointment
This is where the magic happens ✨

Upon arrival, I will have you fill out a little something called my "Experience Customization Form". This will allow you to let me know exactly how you would like your visit to go: from what beverage and snack you would like, to choosing between a quiet appointment or getting to know each other more, to customizing your appointment with any of the many complimentary treatment additions that I have available. We believe in being extra around here!

We will go over our plans for the day once more, just to be totally clear on our goals and make sure we are on the same page. After that, we will proceed with your custom color and install. Before you leave, I will go over everything with your from aftercare, to maintenance, how to style, and answer any and all questions that you may have. You will be sent home with your very own digital aftercare guide for reference and, of course, you can reach out to me anytime with any questions you may have.

Before you leave, we will book your reinstall appointment and take our after pictures/ videos (if you're comfortable with that). I love to see the confidence overflowing during this time. It's my favorite part!
after goodbye
Don't worry, you're not on your own! I'll be checking in with you periodically to make sure you're still loving your extensions and that you don't have any questions.
If there is any point between appointments when you need to pick up any additional product, I can have that packed up and ready to go for you at any time during business hours. Be sure to ask about our product loyalty rewards program.

Do I have to change how I care for my hair at home?We’ll give you a personalized care plan, including recommended products like Goldielocks to protect and strengthen your hair. You’ll learn how to wash, style, and maintain your extensions or integration system so your results last longer and your hair stays healthy.
-
Why does menopause cause hair loss or thinning?Hormonal changes during peri- and menopause (especially lower estrogen and progesterone) can shrink hair follicles, leading to shedding and finer strands. Stress and nutrient deficiencies can also play a role. The good news? With the right professional solutions and at-home care, you can restore fullness and strengthen new growth.
-
What’s the difference between mesh integration and extensions?Extensions are added to existing hair for volume and length, while mesh integration creates a breathable “foundation” to cover areas with advanced thinning or visible scalp. Mesh systems are ideal extensions alone won’t give you the coverage you need. Full mesh integration systems are perfect for thinning in the crown or top of the head, giving you coverage in ways that traditional methods simply can't offer.
-
How often will I need maintenance?Most extension clients return every 6–8 weeks for adjustments and color touch-ups. K tips allow for longer times in between maintenance appointments at 3-5 months.
-
How do I know which method is right for me?It depends on your level of thinning, lifestyle, and goals. During your consultation, we assess your scalp, hair health, and maintenance preferences to recommend the best solution whether that’s extensions, mesh integration, K-tips, or a combination.
-
How long will the hair last?This will completely depend upon what method we choose to utilize for your hair. For example, with weft extensions, the hair can last anywhere from 9-12 months if very well taken care of. This is completely based on the wearer. At your install appointment, I give you everything you need to take the best care possible and to get the most longevity out of your investment.
-
Will anyone be able to tell I’m wearing extensions or mesh?Not at all. Our methods are discreet, seamless, and designed to blend naturally with your existing hair. Most clients say friends notice how amazing their hair looks, not the method behind it.
-
Are extensions safe for thinning hair?Yes, when applied correctly and maintained properly. We use methods like Invisible Bead Extensions® and K-tips that distribute weight evenly and minimize tension on fragile hair. Every plan is customized to your scalp health and hair goals, so your natural hair can stay healthy as it grows.
-
Willl I have to wear extensions forever?Not unless you want to! Goals vary from person to person. Some people are wearing them just to grow out a haircut or severe damage, some people take them out temporarily for certain seasons, some people don't even like to take them out long enough for a move up and want to keep them forever. This entire extension thing is tailored. to. you.
-
What are wefts and rows?A weft is a single piece of hair made up of single strands, woven together to create a whole piece similar to a clip in weft, except a much more dainty and discreet. I am able to take these and stack them together on a row of beads to create density based on the needs of the client. A row is a series of beads installed horizontally around the head from one side to the other. This is the foundation of the extension installation and where the wefts are sown onto.
