Ali specializes in Balayage, Extensions and Keratin Smoothing Treatments but is highly trained in all aspects of color, cutting and styling.

24” extensions? Say less. My client wanted a bold money piece but needed to keep her natural hair mostly untouched while recovering from past blonding.
Extensions were the perfect solution—adding dimension without the extra lightening. Since she wanted to keep internal cutting to a minimum, we used two packs of Bellami Flex Wefts for the fullest blend.
•As always—prepped & protected with K18
•Lightened & toned with Goldwell
•Two packs of Bellami 24” Flex Weft extensions
Blended, bright, & effortless.

Used curly cutting techniques to taper down Kassi’s lovely curls into a more elongated shape so they will grow out without a lot of bulk at the top and she will have several months and several inches before she needs a cut again!

Had so much fun with this pink-based look for MG! They get their color done twice a year so we always go big and bold and she lets me have so much fun with it!
I am going to be prioritizing projects with creative freedom like this one in the future.
