Brunette Hair Extensions Done In Rhode Island

Hair Extensions For Your Wedding

Lets Talk About Thick Remy Extensions For Your Wedding

Hot Head Hair Extensions By Jaclynn Kate

For those of you that have read all my previous blogs, know how much I stress keeping your hair in the best condition as possible. When doing color or extensions, making sure the integrity of your hair is protected should be your #1, and your stylists #1 priority while trying to deliver you with what you want to see done with your hair.

Hair extensions can be used for many different reasons. Mainly I find that woman can't seem to grow their hair longer then their shoulders so they opt for extensions. This year mostly, I am finding that my Brides-to-be are looking for added volume in their hair to look their best on their wedding day. I will gladly apply extensions after an initial consultation has taken place in the salon and I look through the clients hair to make sure that their hair can handle the additional weight to ensure integrity is kept and then we determine how many they will need to get to their desired look.

One of my beautiful 2018 brides appears in the photo above. She is a perfect candidate for extensions. Her hair is below her shoulders and strong enough to endure the added weight. She is currently growing out a hair cut gone wrong done by another stylists , and wants longer thicker hair for her wedding and honeymoon. After our consultation we picked out two different colored extensions for a 'high and lowlight balayaged' look.

This after photo shows the application of a mix between a #3 and a #4 extension. Some may not like the multidimensional look on themselves. Which is totally fine and up to the client. This particular client reached her multidimensional desired look with two bags of hair added. These are guaranteed to last a full six months with proper care and maintenance. I have however seen many of my clients get eleven months out of this brand of extensions with trimming the dead ends off regularly along with getting regular trims.

A side by side look at her before and after. These extension are 18-20'' long!

Good Hair Extensions Vs. Bad Hair Extensions in Rhode Island

How can Hair Extensions be bad?

Before & After Good Hair Extensions Vs. Bad Hair Extensions in Rhode Island

Before & After Hair Extensions in Rhode Island By Jaclynn Kate

Before I go off on another one of my hair extension tangents I just want to say I really enjoy education. I really respect when I hear someone say 'I don't know how to do that' or 'I'm not sure but I'd like to learn'. Honesty has always been my best policy in life, love, business, whatever the case may be, and I whole heartily believe in Karma.

What all that being said, when a client comes to you with an idea for their hair and you as a stylist are unsure how to do that. Simply just don't do it. Don't attempt it if you have no idea. Don't take their money. Don't use it as an opportunity to make a paycheck it's lying. When you agree to do business with your client, you need to be 100% with them. If you are unsure of the outcome I believe you need to tell that client that before proceeding. Hair stylist & client relationships do not just run on the talent but also on the communication between the two.

-THIS IS NOT MY WORK BELOW-

Meet my newest client. This client came to me the day after getting her hair extensions done by someone else. This girl went to a stylist and asked for an ombre done with hair extensions. Now an Ombre in itself is a newly learned color technique and it can be done with extensions too. I've done it. It is not however a technique that can be done by just buying another color of extensions and popping them in. Which is what was done here. The client has brunette hair and wanted a brunette to blonde ombre.

What should have been done prior to putting the extensions in, is the hair color itself. Stylist should've Ombre her hair first and then matched the extension to the colored hair. If this isn't done you are left with a 'two toned look' or a Boot leg 'dip dye' which it looks like she's got a line around her here.

Also I would like to educate those of you who are looking to get extensions done, on the process. If you notice in the photo, it looks like she has 'lines' or 'parts' in the hair, spaces if you will. I can tell just by looking at her head these extensions were not put in properly.

Whom ever put these in, did not have clean even sections. These extensions are also the I tip extensions, which you can see in the photo are not clamped down right being the top of the I tip is sticking out into her head too much!

Now the higher up I got in her hair I noticed their was no 'formulation' on how they were put in. Meaning she just took random sections of her hair and attached an extension. Thus leaving the client with 'spaces'.

The only way to fix her hair was to take them all out & put them all back in, in the proper way. As I mentioned before she wanted an Ombre look. Being that her hair was colored with BOX dye and Wella dye, the dark brown she had wasn't lifting any higher then a medium brown and to save the integrity of her hair after two processes and Olaplaex I wasn't going to lift anymore. I then had to match it to a color for her extensions & reinstall.

Her final outcome was beautiful. Blended, color looked great and the health of her hair was intact.

I managed to get most of the warmth out of her hair before the installation of the extensions again. Unfortunately giving her an ombre look wasn't possible without extreme damage. This client found me on Yelp and I am so glad she did cause I was given the opportunity to educate, and help her. Their's no better feeling then when a client tearfully says thank you for helping me.

Long Remy Brunette Hair Extensions

Hair Extensions RI

Long Remy Hair Extensions RI

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?

Before & After Extensions in Rhode Island

Blonde Hair Extensions in Rhode Island

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!

Short Hair - Get Hair Extensions In North Kingstown RI

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.

Blonde Hair Extensions North Kingstown Rhode Island

Blonde Hair Extensions - The Blonder The Better

Blonde Hair Extensions North Kingstown Rhode Island

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.

High Light / Low Light Hair Extensions

Can I Have A High Light & Low Light With Hair Extension?

Hair Extensions In Rhode Island By Jaclynn Kate

Many times I receive email inquiries from woman who already have a highlight & low light in their hair. So their concern is that their hair isn't going to blend if they do one solid color of extensions. And they're right. If I were to just go in and do one solid color of hair extensions, their hair wouldn't blend properly. What I usually do if have them come into the salon for a complimentary consultation & I color match their hair colors & match it to our extensions.

It's that simple. Theirs NO need to order one solid color of hair extensions & THEN go back in & try to lighten them to the color of their highlights. Actually with our brand of extensions it is recommended that you DON'T highlights these extensions. They can & probably will break.

This is my client Teresea, & as you can see in the top left photo she already had some over grown highlights, but she wanted to keep them. So what we decided to do was match the highlighted color to the hair extension & put a lot of that color towards the bottom so it looks like an Ombre color.

Teresea put in 60 pieces to start & then came back for 20 more pieces to give her a more full look. She likes to curl her hair a lot so these extensions work perfectly for her because they hold a curl for a long time!
