Extensions are sold separately. Click Here for more detailed information regarding pricing.
Braided Sew-In w/ Leave Out
SEAMLESS BLEND. NATURAL FINISH.
A braided sew-in installation is a protective extension method where the natural hair is braided closely to the scalp and weft extensions are securely sewn onto the braids using a needle and thread. This service can be customized as either a partial installation, where some natural hair is left out for blending, or a full-head installation, where none of the natural hair is exposed.
When cared for properly, sew-in extensions can typically last 6–8 weeks. This method is suitable for most hair types and can also be a great option for individuals experiencing mild to moderate hair thinning or hair loss.
For maximum wear and longevity, a sew-in maintenance service is recommended at 4 weeks.
Full-Closure
Braided Sew-In
(no leave out)
FULL COVERAGE. FLAWLESS FINISH.
A full closure braided sew-in is a protective extension installation where the natural hair is completely braided underneath and fully covered using weft extensions that are securely sewn onto the braids . No natural hair is left out, allowing for a more seamless, low-maintenance finish, while fully protecting the client’s hair underneath.
This method is ideal for clients who want full coverage, added versatility, or a break from daily heat styling and blending. It is also an excellent option for individuals experiencing thinning edges, hair loss, or overall thinning throughout the top of the scalp. Full closure sew-ins allow clients to enjoy longer, fuller hair without exposing their natural hair.
Because none of the natural hair is left out, this installation helps protect the hair from humidity, heat damage, and daily manipulation. It is also a great way to experiment with different colors and hair textures that are different from your own. When properly maintained, a full closure braided sew-in can typically last 6–8 weeks.
For maximum wear and longevity, a sew-in maintenance service is recommended at 4 weeks.

Microlink Beaded-Row "Braidless Sew-In"
Extensions
Natural Beaded-Row Sew-Ins, also known as Braidless Sew-Ins, Micro-Link Sew-Ins, or Beaded Weft Extensions, are a lightweight and natural-looking extension method designed to add fullness and length while allowing for maximum movement and flexibility.
Similar to a traditional sew-in, thin weft extensions are securely sewn onto the hair, but without braiding the natural hair underneath. Instead, small sections of the client’s natural hair are threaded through tiny silicone-lined micro-links, also known as ringlets, which create a secure foundation for the wefts to be sewn onto.
This method allows the extensions to lay flat against the scalp for a seamless, comfortable, and highly natural finish.
Natural Beaded-Row Sew-Ins are ideal for clients seeking a more flexible installation with easy scalp access, versatile styling and natural movement. This method works best for individuals with medium to thick hair and sufficient natural density to properly support the rows.
For maximum wear and longevity, a sew-in maintenance service is recommended at 5-6 weeks.
FULLER. LONGER. FLAWLESS.
I-Tip "Cold Fusion" Extensions
LIGHTWEIGHT. STRAND BY STRAND PERFECTION.
I-Tip Extensions are a strand-by-strand extension method designed to create natural-looking length, fullness, and movement with maximum versatility. This technique involves attaching small individual extension strands to tiny sections of the client’s natural hair using silicone-lined micro-links or beads — without the use of heat, glue, or adhesives.
Because the extensions are installed strand by strand, I-Tip extensions offer a highly natural blend and allow the hair to move freely for a lightweight, seamless finish. This method is ideal for clients seeking flexible styling options, including ponytails and updos, while maintaining a discreet and undetectable appearance.
We use premium-quality human hair that has been carefully sourced and hand-selected to ensure softness, longevity, and natural movement. I-Tip extensions are best suited for clients with healthy hair seeking a long-term extension solution with minimal tension on the scalp.
Smoothing Treatment
SOFT. SMOOTH. MANAGEABLE HAIR.
BEFORE
Looking for smoother, more manageable hair without the permanence of a relaxer? Our Smoothing Treatment is an amino acid–based treatment designed to reduce frizz, smooth and straighten the hair, while also helping strengthen and repair damage. Enjoy up to 12 weeks of intense smoothness, incredible shine, and maximum manageability—without the use of harsh chemicals.
This is NOT a relaxer or a Brazilian Keratin treatment, which permanently breaks down the bonds in your hair. This smoothing system only temporarily stretches and elongates these bonds. So, it is not a permanent alteration to your hair. This gives you the versatility of wearing your hair straight or curly while having the treatment. Because results are temporary, hair will naturally revert back to curly when it comes into contact with moisture. Your curls will remain intact—just softer, smoother, and much more manageable.
Great for:
Improving the manageability of textured hairstyles, silk presses, sew-ins with leave out, as well as k-tip, i-tip and beaded row installations on textured hair
AFTER
K-Tip "Keratin Tip" Extensions
NATURAL MOVEMENT. INVISIBLE RESULTS.
K-Tip Extensions, also known as Keratin Bond Extensions, are a premium strand-by-strand extension method designed to create incredibly natural-looking length, fullness, and movement. This technique uses individual extension strands bonded to small sections of the client’s natural hair using a keratin-based bond for a seamless and discreet finish.
K-Tip extensions provide maximum flexibility and movement, allowing the hair to flow naturally while remaining virtually undetectable. This method is ideal for clients seeking a long-term solution with versatile styling options, including ponytails, updos, and natural parting.
We use premium-quality human hair that has been carefully sourced and hand-selected from around the world to ensure softness, longevity, and exceptional overall performance. Each installation is customized to blend seamlessly with the client’s natural hair for a lightweight, comfortable, and elevated finish.
