Laced Hair Extensions

What’s your dream hair? Has anyone ever told you it’s possible? With Laced Hair Extensions, I’m here to tell you it is! Our stylists loved learning this new technique from the very energetic, extension specialist Cameron Kepford. Cameron is the owner of Haus of Heir salon in Davenport, Iowa and was an absolute delight to learn from! He brought his natural charisma and positive energy to our team to teach them a fresh method on hair extensions. This version of beaded row offers MORE volume and LESS maintenance! The hair is hand tied with the bead acting as a secure cushion for the hair. The hair feels comfortable and secure and looks absolutely amazing!!

Cameron and his team at Haus of Hair specialize in Laced Hair extensions and after working with it in this class, we can see why! Laced offers the very best quality in real hair with so many color options from blondes to brunettes to everything in between. Our model for this class was our very own master stylist Lauren Pittman.

Textured Chignon with Oribe Educators

If you are attending a wedding this summer, we have the perfect look for you!! Oribe’s textured chignon is simple with a low key elegance that will have everyone’s head turning!

Oribe educators are industry leaders in styling and they definitely did not disappoint! Our stylists had the pleasure of learning from some of Oribe’s finest, Ronnie Stam and Adam Livermore, for this technique. Both are based in New York and have had their work featured in several magazines such as Vanity Fair and Modern Salon to name a couple. Each educator brought their own unique artistry to the textured chignon class. Their different approaches covered all the bases for our learning styles while still being fun and packed full of content. The look is perfect for a bride, a bridesmaid or just a night out with friends. It combines beachy texture and a classic chignon making it seem effortless and elegant all at the same time.

Now, let’s talk products! We all know the perfect look is nothing without the perfect products! For texture and structure our stylists used Oribe Maximista and Matte Waves throughout making it easy to shape and mold the hair. They finished with Oribe Apres Beach to give it a satin finish while leaving the texture intact. The result, effortless perfection! Who doesn’t want that?

For your next summer event, book an appointment now with your stylist for a textured chignon and get everyones head turning!
