Blonde Remy Hair Extensions By Jaclynn Kate

Okay for starters, Ombre, Sombre, Balayage, what is with all these names? What's the difference? Well first difference would be within the application of the color process-how it's applied to the hair. Second difference would be in the lightness of the hair coloring.

Ombre - When the hair goes from a gradual dark to light with slight blended progression & no highlights.

Sombre- When the hair softly goes from a dark to light very 'gently' with some 'grown out natural' highlights within the color.

Balayage - When the hair color has been painted on the hair used a technique called 'free hand'. Balayage can also be used in combination with Sombre & Ombre. 

I get a lot of phone calls asking if I can do an Ombre with hair extensions? The answer I give is 'Yes if your hair let's me.' This basically meaning - I don't know if your hair is going to allow me to color your hair. In the event it does then yes I can use extensions to give you an Ombre look. I will however HAVE to Ombre your current hair first in order for it to blend properly. This rule goes for Sombres too. 

I had this client Gi come in and said she wanted a Sombre look done in her hair with Extensions. A mixture of warm & cool tones going into all cool tones was our goal. So to begin I gave her a full foil to brighten her up and then toned her hair with an 09B and clear at the sink for 15 minutes.

Her outcome was great! Took three hours but gave up the completed look we were going for.

You know a client loves her looks when you find a sexy selfie on Instagram the next day =] Xo

Salon in Rhode Island That Does Remy Hair Extensions By Jaclynn Kate

It's highly unfortunate that I have been extremely slacking on my blogging. Truth is, I have been so crazy busy with hair extensions, salon clients, and weddings that I haven't kept up with blogging. So here I am starting the new year off right and getting back on my A Game =]

Starting with my client Kristen! Kristen found me on a Craiglists post over a year ago. I was running a hair extension special getting $50.00 off a full set and she came to see me. He hair was in okay shape as she explained to me that she has very curly hair but straightens is constantly. I continued to listen to her issues with her hair situation, dry, brittle, breaking, and doesn't grow.

Now first thing I like to do with all my clients is be 100% honest and real about the situation and give them real expectations. Kristen didn't seem like the perfect candidate for extensions. Her hair was dry and breaking because she was constantly flat ironing her hair. I explained to her that these extensions are wonderful and have a long lifeline but they are not ideal for someone to flat iron everyday at a high degree. They need constant moisture, oil, conditioning to make the lifeline last. I said I would only put them in if she agreed to take care of them with the instructions I give to her on my Take-Home-Sheet. She agreed. She has gotten three full sets since we have met and she takes great care of her extensions!

These will last her 6-8 months. The lifeline is guaranteed six months from the maker of these extensions. However I have found that you can wear them longer if you trim the dead off the ends as time goes on.

We also have a deal in the salon where if you get ANY service done, you can get a full set of mink eye lash extensions for $90.00. Kristen took the jump and got the full set too!! Figured I'd share her beauty with ya'll =]

Can I Color My Hair Extensions Grey?

Can I Color My Hair Extensions? By Jaclynn Kate

I'm asked all the time from my clients & other stylists clients if they are able to 'dye' their hair extensions. Well, in all honesty it depends on the kind of extension and where you are going to try and take the color. I personally have had 'WHITE' hair extensions and colored them to nearly a black. ( I was going through a phase haha)

With that being said, the brand that I use on myself & on my clients says on it's website that you are able to color them being that they are 100% human remy extensions. You can NOT bleach them though. If bleach gets on them they can & probably will break. 

Now another question I am asked is, 'what about if I get these extensions & I bleach my roots'? See a stylist. Even if you are a stylist yourself you don't want to risk over lapping bleach on your new extensions & having them break. It's not work the hassle or the money invested. You just have to be careful with the application is all.

Onto my inspiration for my blog. My client below is someone I've known from hair school. Normally doing another stylist hair is actually really frustrating, however in this case given the project it was so nice to have a stylist in my chair who understood the process.

This is actually her second sitting in my chair. She was in a few days earlier with the request for a very cool blonde/grey tones in her hair. Right now the grey hair color is extremely trendy while it can also be very tricky to get. So we did some low lights in her hair and toned it down a bit but clearly was still on the warmer side.

So she came back in for another toning & the decision to add in 100 pieces of extensions to her hair. Her hair is SUPER thin, but she has a lot of it so it will hide the beads on the extensions.

And her after photo is as cool as I could get it. First toning her with 09b/09v/9t and clear. Didn't even move the color.  Then I went back in with straight 09v... not much of anything happened. 

So I remixed 06t and a cap of 09b and was very happy with the results. Hence why I was happy a stylist was in my chair. I feel like almost anyone else would't have understood the process. Nonetheless she was very happy with the results of her hair & the extensions blended very nice!

Can I Get Hair Extensions? My Hair Is Short! - By Jaclynn Kate

Can I Get Hair Extensions? My Hair Is Short!

Can I Get Hair Extensions? My Hair Is Short!

I have short hair now, how long does my hair have to be to get hair extensions? Blog by Jaclynn Kate

At least once a week I have a client stumble upon my blog online and then they inquire & say the same thing..."I went somewhere on a groupon and got a really bad short hair cut, how short can my hair be to get hair extensions?' Well that answer is a little difficult to answer via email. It is much easier to answer that question when you are in front of me and I am putting my hand through your hair.

I'll explain...

Ideally you would want your hair to be down to your shoulders. This give us room to blend the extensions and it helps ensure you don't have a line of disconnection. However, if you have very thick short hair you might want to add some layers in your hair to break up the bottom line, this will help blend the extensions and again ensure you don't have a line of disconnection. 

Here is a great example. This is one of my new clients who found me from my blog. She used to have super long hair & was talked into a short hair cut by another client. I spoke with her via email & asked if she would come in for a free consultation. She came in and we agreed on 80 pieces of hair extensions for her hair- with the option of adding 20 more pieces just in case the 80 didn't blend 100%. Now to me looking at her hair I would think she needs at least 20 more pieces to blend it even better, but she has left it this way and it very happy. 

She also wanted some dimension in her hair without damaging her hair. With that being said she picked out the purple extensions and we put ten purple pieces in her hair just to break up the solid color.

I have blonde hair & I bleach it. Can I get blonde hair extensions & still be able to bleach my own hair?

Blonde Non Damaging Hair Extensions In North Kingstown Rhode Island By Jaclynn Kate

Non damaging? How can hair extensions be non damaging? I get this question weekly. The answer is simple- we don't use glue, braiding, or wefts. The brand of extensions used are a micro loop process with silicone & keratin inside of the bead causing no damage. If you hair is strong enough to hold an extension, and you are willing and ready to take care of the extension then you wont have damage to your hair.

'I bleach my hair, how will that effect my extensions?' ... Well if your doing the bleaching yourself at home & expect to still continue to do it at home after getting the extensions put in, you should also be ready to have your extensions fall out. I say this because you CAN bleach your roots with extensions you just have to be VERY careful not to get the beach on the extensions. If you do get the bleach on the extension, they will break. I have many blonde bleach & tone clients who come in for me to do theirs roots to prolong the lifeline of their investment- their extensions.

Meet my adorable client Karissa. Karissa gets a very heavy highlight done by me every 6-8 weeks. She now just got 100 pieces of extensions added into her hair for length & volume. Now I can still go into her head & highlight her hair, as long as I don't get the bleach onto her extensions.

You see these extensions are 100% human remy hair & when they were being made they went through an extensive 4 day 'cleaning & bleaching' process. So if you go ahead & put MORE bleach on them, the blonde can't take it anymore & it will break.

On a side note, we used two different colors in Karissas hair cause she still has some dark pieces from being a brunette. As Karissa goes lighter with her blonde, we will switch out her darker pieces for blonder pieces to match. If you are thinking about getting extensions done don't be afraid to ask 100 questions about the process to your stylist. if he/she doesn't seem knowledgeable & you don't see certification of completion on the process, I would highly advise NOT going with that stylist. But hey, if you want to gamble with your hair- go for it.
