Two specialties, done right.

I believe there's something special about mastering your craft. That's why I focus on the two things I love most: creating seamless, natural-looking hair extensions and transforming frizzy, difficult-to-manage hair with keratin smoothing treatments. My goal is to help you love your hair and feel confident in it every day.

01  Smoothing

Keratin Treatment

Your hair shouldn't dictate your day. Tired of fighting frizz, battling humidity and spending too much time styling your hair just to get it to cooperate? A keratin treatment may be the missing piece. Enjoy smoother, shinier, more manageable hair, and a simplified styling routine designed around your lifestyle. For many clients, it quickly becomes the service they wonder how they ever lived without.

Every keratin treatment is customized to your hair's current condition and your desired results. Want to keep your natural curl pattern while eliminating frizz? We can do that. Looking to soften your curls and achieve a smoother finish? We can do that too. Before your treatment, we'll discuss your goals and determine the best approach for your hair.

Average appointment is 3 hours. Must wait 48 hours after keratin before washing your hair.

02  Length & fullness

Invisible Bead Extensions®

Achieve the length and fullness you've been wanting with customized, color-matched extensions designed for a seamless, natural-looking blend. As an IBE certified stylist, I'll assess your natural hair, customize your color match, and recommend the right amount of hair for your desired look while prioritizing the health of your natural hair.

With proper care, your extensions can last up to a year. Move-up appointments are typically needed every six to eight weeks to accommodate your natural hair growth and keep your extensions looking and feeling their best.

Personalized pricing depends on your desired length, fullness, and number of rows. We'll discuss your goals and create a customized plan during your consultation.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions.

Will keratin get rid of my natural texture?

Every keratin treatment is customized to the current condition of your hair, as well as what you want to see from the results. If you're looking to keep your natural curl but eliminate frizz, I can do that. If you want to remove some of your curl pattern, I can do that too. Everything will be discussed prior to your treatment.

How long does a keratin treatment last?

Anywhere from three to four months, depending on your lifestyle. I'll discuss which products to stay away from and which ones can help with longevity.

Can I get keratin on color-treated hair or highlights?

Absolutely! Highlights and color should be performed before the treatment. If color is done after the keratin, waiting two weeks is advised.

Will extensions damage my hair?

When properly installed, maintained, and removed, IBE extensions are designed to help protect your natural hair while giving you the length and fullness you desire. However, no extension method is completely risk-free. Proper placement, the right amount of hair for your natural density, and consistent maintenance are essential to minimizing tension and preventing breakage. I'll assess your hair and discuss whether extensions are the right fit for you, so we can achieve beautiful, seamless results while prioritizing the health of your natural hair.

How long do extensions last?

With proper care, the hair can last up to a year.

How often do my extensions need to be moved up?

IBE extensions typically need to be moved up every six to eight weeks, depending on your natural hair growth, lifestyle, and at-home maintenance routine. Regular move-ups are essential to keeping your extensions comfortable, maintaining a seamless blend, and protecting the health of your natural hair. During your appointment, I'll remove and reinstall the rows to accommodate your hair growth and keep your extensions looking their best.

How much are extensions?

Pricing depends on your desired length, fullness, and number of rows. At the consultation, we'll discuss all of that.

What is your cancellation policy?

I understand that plans can change. I kindly ask for at least 48 hours' notice if you need to cancel or reschedule your appointment.
