Dallas hair extensions

My name is Brandon Stephens, and I am a Dallas Hair Extensions Expert.  Finding the best hair stylist in Dallas can be a daunting task in this giant metroplex full of 6.3 million people. 

 

I am currently providing hair extensions services at the best hair salon in Dallas nestled in between Uptown and Highland Park.  While my main focus are Dallas hair extensions and hair color, I provide full salon services to my clients in the salon.  

 

Be sure to check out my Dallas Hair Extensions Expert Guide before you make your choice for hair extensions.  I work with several brands, and am trained and certified in every hair extension type on the market.  My goal is to provide several options that suit every hair type, lifestyle, and budget.

 

I also focus on in-salon hair replacement options for women experiencing hair loss or fine thin hair on top.  Integrated hair pieces that are professionally applied and worn on a daily basis, and routinely maintained in the salon.  These hair systems are an amazing way to transform your look with a voluminous hair style.  For a look into these professional hair pieces in Dallas, check out my guide to Hair Replacement in Dallas.

Chunky highlights don’t necessarily need to look like thick stripes within your hair color. In the 90’s thick stripes were in, but it’s now 2012 and those highlights aren’t acceptable anymore. You can still get chunky highlights, though, that look current and classy.

 

The above pictures represent past trends that have come and gone. (Hopefully for good.) If your colorist is still doing your color in a manner that resembles this, it’s time for a change. As the days pass, so do the trends and it is your hair stylist’s obligation to stay up to date with the latest techniques. If you’re sporting the same do as you were ten years ago, try something new. If your stylist is unable to do that for you, it’s time to move on.

 

Above, you see pictures of more current chunky highlights. Current trends shy away from the striped look of having vertical lines in your hair. Try out a peek-a-boo highlight that shows off thick chunks of colors within your layers. As is true with most things, Less is always more!

Being a Dallas salon that focuses on hair extensions and color, we have to work with the best Dallas hair extension products on the market. There are three secrets to having great hair extensions: the quality of hair extension, the cut/color that blends them into your style, and the products you use on a daily basis. With hair extensions, it is of utmost importance to use products that keep the hair quality as if it is always new hair. To make sure you keep the hair soft, shiny, and easy to maintain, I recommend three stellar hair extension products. Each serves a different purpose, and I

Today I’m starting a new trend following celebrity hair extensions in Dallas: “Love it or Weave it!” This is a fun way to focus on celebrity hair extension trends I absolutely LOVE, and some unbeWEAVEable looks we should leave- no, ‘weave’ behind!

 

Let’s start with the Weave it list:

 

 

Paris, Paris, Paris. With the amount of money we can all assume she spent on her hair, she should have just donated the hair to Locks of Love. A strand by strand, or hair locks, system is not the ideal set of hair extensions for her hair type. Furthermore, they were placed way too high on her head making it impossible to hide. Unbeweavable! Lindsay Lohan looks to have the same hair extension problem in the first photo. In the second picture of LLo, she has a serious color match issue! Check out the difference in her roots, and ends. Wowza! As for Christina Aguilera, she either lost track of her hair extension care products, or she is wearing a 100% Horse Hair Clip in System.

 

Now, on to my Love it list:

 

Juliana Rancic has been wearing extensions for quite some time, and as you can see she is always looking classy and her color is fashion forward. She’s a personal favorite of mine. Another fave of mine is Jennifer Lopez. Jennifer has a ton of weave in her hair and she takes the time to have it styled to perfection. Last, but not least, is a Dallas resident herself. Khloe Kardashian is a big fan of hair extensions, and I love it! She always has a tremendous amount of volume, and her hair looks well taken care of, and fashion forward.

Dallas hair stylist review: Long wavy hair has been the hottest trend for the past few years. Anything resembling a ringlet is out of style, and looser waves are in. Think Kim Kardashian, or check out Selma Hayek at the 2012 Golden Globes. Simply gorgeous!

I recreated this look on a model and wanted to show how easy this can be. I didn’t buy a new tool, or a popular wand that is flooding the market. I simply used my existing curling iron, and wrapped small sections of hair around it without using the clamp. As always, I work with sections starting around the nape, and work my way up and around the head. By using sections, you have a clean, and organized palette to work with.

After I was done I sprayed the whole look with a light, finishing hair spray to help hold the style. By using a finishing spray, it allows movement, and wont freeze the style like a freezing spray would.

If you’ve been considering changing up your look, bangs are an easy way to do the trick. There’s no better time than now, during the colder winter months to take the plunge. The problem with bangs during summer is they can easily get caught up in the notorious dallas heat and drive you crazy. When your forehead is sweating, or it’s a thousand degrees outside, the last thing you want is hair sticking to it. If you add some fringe now, by the time it’s warmer outside they will have grown out into a longer side-swept bang that’s much better suited for spring, summer months.

Interestingly enough, one of California’s most notorious celebs now calls Dallas home. Talk about a major change! Although we can be known for our Dallitude, or a snobby outlook, it looks like everyone is welcoming Khloe Kardashian with open arms. She seems to have her life together, and bringing good energy to the city.

 

She’s a poster-child for hair extensions, so I’m curious to see how she manages those long locks in the middle of 100+ degree summers. From me to you, Khloe, I welcome you to Dallas and I look forward to working with you at the best hair salon in Dallas

(Wishful thinking, but I at least need to put that energy out there!)

I wanted to share some pictures showing hair extensions in Dallas, a true makeover on a client. With this client she has medium length hair, which falls around her shoulder blades. Her ultimate goal is thicker, fuller hair with 3-4 more inches of additional length.

Having red hair and extensions can be pretty tricky because there are so many shades of red hair color. With this client, we did a custom set of Klixtensions, and Balmain hair extensions. Along with coloring her hair, and throwing in a few caramel highlights, we added the extensions. As you can see from the end result, she has a beautiful mane of hair that’s naturally beautiful.
