Ombre Hair Extensions in Dallas | Re-Thinking Hair Color

Have you ever thought about using hair extensions to add an Ombre hair color, highlights and lowlights, or bright neon colors to your hair? If you think outside the box for a minute, it makes perfect sense to use extensions instead of coloring your hair in certain instances.  Working at a Dallas hair color salon, I see several people a year who want to add a pop of bright neon hair color to their hair.  Lately, Pastel hair colors have been becoming more and more popular.  My clients absolutely love keeping their hair healthy with Ombre hair extensions in Dallas and using extensions for other hair color purposes.  Here’s why:

 

If you’re looking for highlights or an Ombre hair color style, this can very easily be done with hair extensions.  For Ombre hair styles, you almost always have to lighten the ends of your hair with bleach.  So let me repeat what I just said:  You almost always have to bleach the ends of your hair to achieve an Ombre hair color.  Yes, the same ends of your hair that bear the beating from your flat iron, curling iron, and last summer’s sun damage from all that time at the pool.  Instead of bleaching the ends to lighten them, you could very easily throw in a few colors of hair extensions so you get a soft, seamless transition from dark to light.  In doing this, your ends weren’t lightened and you spare yourself any further damage.  Plus, when you move on from Ombre hair extensions hair styles, we take them out and can easily change into the next upcoming hair trend of 2013.

If you want to throw in some highlights  or lowlights with hair extensions you should seriously consider a Highline system. Though it is marketed for adding volume on top of the head, this is an incredibly versatile system.  First of all, who doesn’t want more volume on top of their head?  Not only does it do that, it’s an amazing tool to either get darker or lighter than your natural hair so you get a hair color with dimension.  All without coloring, or highlighting your own natural hair.

On another note, if you are wanting to throw in pops of bright funky hair colors then you should definitely be paying attention to this!  I always recommend using hair extensions any time someone asks me to throw a little bit of bright rihanna red, or any other crazy hair colors like blue, green purple, etc.  Here’s why:

To get those funky neon or bright hair colors, your hair has to be lightened with bleach to remove any dark pigment.  Then, we go in and color your hair with what ever color you so choose.  All is fun and you leave the salon with bright funky hair color, but let’s fast forward two weeks later:  That bright funky hair color has faded incredibly fast, and your bright blue is now a weird green blue teal color.  Or that Red is now orangish yellow.  Not pretty.

Hair extensions that are pre-colored with these colors do not fade.  Yep, I said it.  Working with either Easilengths, or Hairdreams hair extensions I can pre-order fashion hair colors that will keep their bright colors the entire wearing time as if it’s always freshly colored.  Even if we have to color the extensions to make your custom hair color, we can start with the lightest of hair extensions so you get that pop of color without damaging the cuticle – which in turn means the color lasts much, MUCH longer.

Cost:

Not only can going this route be very similar to the cost of your hair color, you get results that last much longer.  Adding pops of color with hair extensions starts around $100 – yep, $100.  The best thing to do is to book a free hair extension consultation so you can see what best suits your needs.

Prom Hair Extensions | Dallas Prom Hair

One of the biggest memories everyone keeps from high school is their prom night. Your prom hair style in Dallas is almost as important as the dress you choose to wear.  Hair extensions for prom in Dallas are a great way to add long hair styles or extra fullness to your prom hair style in Dallas.

If you want the best customization and to not have to worry about clipping-in your hair during your prom, then you may want to consider professional hair extensions.

After all, wedding pictures last a lifetime and looking your best is something every bride takes very seriously.  

 

Something to consider for your Dallas bridal hair style is adding hair extensions for fullness, volume and/or length.  As a Dallas hair extensions specialist, I often help educate brides on the best options and perks of having hair extensions on your special day.

Vomor Hair Extensions | Surgical Tape

What are Vomor hair extensions? They are a version of Tape hair extensions that are so popular right now. The difference with Vomor is they are exclusively done at Aveda salons. As a hair extension specialist in Dallas, tape in hair extensions are something I offer to many clients who want fuller thicker hair.  Here is why I recommend having your hair extensions in Dallas done by a specialist, instead of a national chain.

 

1.  Time and Experience = No Headaches and Damage

Being the new kid on the block, I welcome Aveda to the hair extensions game. I love hair, hair extensions, women who wear them, and people who do them well. Having said that, I know how many YEARS it takes to actually learn the in and outs of doing hair extensions well.

 

Applying hair extensions properly so as to not cause damage is something that takes years of practice.  While they are marketed to be damage free let me make it quite clear: every type of hair extensions can definitely cause damage if applied incorrectly, or to the wrong type of hair, and/or not properly maintained.  It takes years of experience to learn which extensions are best for different hair types.

 

 2.  My golden rule: One Size doesn’t fit all with Hair Extensions

My other issue is that Aveda is only doing one type of hair extensions for clients: Vomor tape in hair extensions. One of my golden rules for hair extensions is to always demand options, and never trust a one size fits all approach.   When someone only does one type of hair extensions, you should get out of the chair and run! There is no one-size-fits-all hair extension system. Think of the logic: Does it make sense to put the same type of extensions on someone with thick curly hair as you would on very fine thin hair?

 

 All in all, I will sum it up by explaining my thoughts on Vomor tape-in hair extensions. While tape in hair extensions are great for a specific client,  it’s best to work with a extension specialist who uses several types and brands of hair extensions.In my honest opinion, having worked with several brands of hair extensions (including a tape in method) having options is the best way to go about hair extensions. When you have options in attachment method: clip, tape, links, fusion, wefts, you can really get a customized solution that best suits your own natural hair type.  

 

In other words: do your research, and look for a hair extension specialist who offers options in your area.

Easivolume Clip In Hair Extensions | Dallas Hair

Easivolume clip in hair extensions in Dallas are here!  They are an incredibly simple, one-piece clip in hair extension system that adds a tremendous amount of volume to your own hair. It is 100% human hair great quality hair extensions that can be curled or heat styled just like your own hair. This is also ideal for special occasions like weddings and formals.

 

This easivolume clip in hair extension system in Dallas is ideal for someone who is simply looking for an addition of volume. Even though it comes in 10, 14, and 18 inches, the system is only meant to dramatically fill in your own length. It has 5 pressure sensitive clips that clip in opposite directions to secure it in place.

After I color match you to the best fit, you can come in to the salon for a customization where I add layering to the clip-ins so they look believable and natural.  I also show you how to apply them and allow you to do so yourself so you leave confident and able to wear your new clip-in hair extensions.

Dallas clip in hair bangs | Easibangs

Cutting bangs or fringe can be a very scary if your natural hair is longer, or you have finer hair around your hairline.  Dallas clip in hair bangs are great if you just want to change up your style every now and again.  Something like Easibangs clip in hair extensions are a very easy way to add interest around your face and shape up your style. Not to mention they fill in your hairline and can possibly hide those roots for an extra few weeks!

 

I recommend Easibangs by Easihair because of the 100% remy human hair quality, and the small attachment. With clip-in bangs, something you should look for is an attachment that is not big and bulky because you wear this piece on your hairline, making it very visible. The smaller the attachment, like Easibangs, the easier it is to blend into your style.

 

 

Since these clip in bang hair extensions are 100% human hair, they have the believability you need in having a great fringe hair style. You wont have to worry about the hair being too shiny like most synthetic hair extensions. They are secured with 3 pressure sensitive clips to make sure they don’t move once applied. Most important, you can style these bangs to match your style each time since they are great quality human hair. They can be heat treated with any hot tool: round brush, flat iron, or curling iron.

 

As I always warn with all clip in hair extensions, they are not meant to be worn on a daily basis. When worn sporadically, clip-in hair extensions are a great tool to fill in or accentuate your style. If worn daily, the weight of the clip can very well cause damage to your own natural hair, which is far from what you want to do! If you are looking for a more permanent top of the head hair extension system, you should look into the microline or tophair permanent options.

 

Easibangs Cost: $100 Customization/Cut: $65

Since these bangs come in a one size fits all length, they are almost always too long to be worn straight out of the box. They are designed to be longer so a professional hair extension stylist can cut them to the exact style you are looking for.

Dallas Hair Extensions @ NY Fashion Week

This past September, I had the pleasure of working with easihair pro hair extensions, Christopher Box, and Sarah Potempa during the 2012 New York Fashion Week. This is such a honor, and I was proud to represent Dallas Hair Extensions for the models on the runway! The energy backstage during fashion week is what I can only describe as controlled chaos. There is much to do, little space to do it, and an expectation of excellence.

Easilengths extensions showed their versatility as they were applied in a non-traditional way to give the models extreme length. Instead of putting the extensions close to the scalp, they were applied at the ends of the hair strand. When curled, the panels became hidden in the hair and the end result was seriously long hair.

Check out the behind the scenes video from designers Erickson Beamon show and you see us in action prepping the models. Sarah Potempa was the lead stylist on this shoot, and she did an amazing job of L.A. inspired beachy tossled waves.

**In response to hurricane Sandy, I obviously send my regards to anyone impacted by her devastation. I have a special place in my heart for New York, and I wish everyone in the Northeast nothing but the best of luck!

Top Hair Stylist in Dallas | Brandon Stephens

Being a top hair stylist in Dallas requires that I  stay current with trends and continuously master my craft. Each year I do what I can to educate myself, further my knowledge, and perfect my skills. I recently took a trip to Chicago for the Aquage Master Class Academy to do just that. Surrounded by educators from all parts of the industry with tons of awards, and accolades, I left feeling newly inspired about my passion, which just so happens to be my career.

 

Luis Alvarez is the host of the two day (18+ hours) academy. Luis is VP of Creative & Education and cofounder of Aquage. He was named one of the Top 75 Educators of the century and one of the Top 50 Most Influential Hairdressers by Modern Salon. Not to mention being honored by Intercoiffure with the Knight of the Ordre de la Chevalerie in Paris. These two are just the tip of the staff, all of which have awards recognizable throughout the industry.

 

The instructors names are some of the whos who in our field. Ann Bray, for instance, is the United States ultimate master of hair styling and finishing. She is a long hair NAHA award winner and winner of Intercoiffures Createur de Mode award. NAHA, for anyone outside of the industry, is basically the Golden Globes of hair styling.

 

Upon arrival, I felt the energy of Chicago as anyone who has ever visited or lived there knows about. We focused on new hair cutting techniques that create versatile options for the client. A lot of clients I see for the firs time have complaints of being stuck with their current hair style. This class highlighted ways to cut and blend while giving the client the most time without needing to come back in for a hair cut because it was being unruly. It also focused on ways to allow a person to change their parts, do different styles, wear it curly or straight, all while the style maintained its perfection.

 

As for hair styling, we focused on building texture, and giving the hair enough pliant strength to maintain its style. Not only did we do avant garde styles, we did every day styles that clients would wear on a daily basis. We perfected new curling techniques that will set you apart from everyone else, all while maintaining current trends.

 

As I said earlier, I left this class feeling inspired to do more for my clients, and to do better on a daily basis. It is things like this that keep me going and set the standard for my clients. I refuse to be the hair stylist that I seem to hear about from new clients. The one who doesnt listen, or who is doing the same thing since 20 years ago. I strive to offer the best, do the best, and give my clients the best results for what they are looking for, with respect to the integrity of their hair, and up to date with current trends.

Our Appearance in Big Rich Texas Hair

As a top hair stylist in Dallas, I had to be a part of the premier party to celebrate the premier of Big Rich Texas on the Style network at Hotel Zaza.  The second season premiered, and the ladies of the show came out to celebrate in style.

The night was full of good energy as great nibbles and cocktails were served. We ran into Dallas socialite, and Fashionista Heidi Dillon. She is anxious about her debut on the show, and we can not wait! She is the ideal Dallas socialite, and style icon.

The rest of the castmates were just as fabulous, and as gorgeous as could be. Sonia and I mingled with them in the VIP area, and could not have had a better time. These ladies are a ton of fun, and surely know how to party!

DeAynni is as petite as she looks on the show, but she is a fireball of energy. Love it! Pam was looking fantastic with her bodyguard nearby, and a bottle of Seven water in her arms. She apparently has a deal with Seven, which is a high-end bottled water looking to oust the veteran Voss. She was as nice as could be, and certainly knows how to work a room! We were pretty close to Cynthia all night, but only had a brief chance to mingle with her.

The ladies are all gorgeous and certainly live up to the title of the show! We had a fantastic time, and are looking forward to keeping up with season two of Big Rich Texas on the Style network on Sundays at 9/8 central
