So.Cap. Human Hair Extensions can be the perfect answer for growing your hair out. One year ago, Lauren came in with shoulder length hair

We did 120 strands of keratin tip hair extensions to add length.

Now, one year later, Lauren and I were amazed at how much her real hair had grown out! This time we only needed 100 strands to add length because the weight line of the bob had grown out.

Dark blonde ombré for Fall.
The best ombré hair color takes time. We have been doing ombre color on Heather for awhile now and I love the way the colors melt and blend in her hair. Be patient with your hair (the cuticle can only do so much in one appt), stylist and the color process :)
Back behind the chair after an amazing 2 week honeymoon! My first appt was a lovely #ombre on my dear friend, @gracieandpepper
Talk about commitment! Kirsten (entrepreneur extraordinaire AKA Riffraff) is flying to Ecuador this weekend to visit her brave, awesome man serving in the Peace Corps! As a safety measure, he warned her blonde hair would cause a lot of attention to the natives who’ve never seen a gorgeous blonde.. So, what’s a girl to do? Go darker!
I must admit I was apprehensive at first bc we had gotten her to a lovely shade of blonde, but I can’t tell you how happy I am we did it and how fabulous it looks on her!! I went with Wella’s Color Touch for a semipermanent finish that will fade on tone in the event she misses her blonde locks. We both have a feeling she will stay this flattering “bronde” shade for awhile ;). Safe travels, Kirsten!!!

With the NWA Fashion Week headliner shows only 2 days away, I’ve been watching videos and scrolling through fun event hair to get my creative juices flowing! Braids are still a big trend this season and will be a guarantee on the runway this weekend. Here are some inspiration photos of how to incorporate braids into your do..

We just ordered our very own custom address stamp from Kelly with Purple Lemon Designs on Etsy! Her prices are affordable and she has so many font and design options to choose from.. not to mention she got us a proof within a couple hours and revisions to our first proof in only minutes! Highly recommend for a creative way to personalize your special day!
For brunettes wanting a little change, add a little dimension with subtle caramel highlights or ombre color!
To give Kate more dimension, we darkened her root color, then foiled in some highlights and hand painted some of her ends.
For Ashley, we created more dimension with a rich dark chocolate brown root shade and commitment-free ombre tipped ends.
When most people think of hair extensions, they think of long flowing hair. So.Cap. hair extensions can do so much more for all hair types though! They can add texture, fullness and even dimensional color to fine hair, adding ease in styling and hold. This is the solution for Jessica’s fine hair.

After adding some wave
#ombre color is still big for Spring with a focus on more natural root shade and subtle melting. Yesterday we took Whitney’s ombre a little darker and I love the look on her!
