Please go over the hair extension pages to learn more.

The Products:

The research for the very best hair extension products out there is an ongoing thing. I am familiar with all the major hair extension lines but I can not use them because the product does not allow me to customize my color to a precise match every time for any texture or highlighted color.

I just returned from a trip to Italy to bring back what I believe to be the most advanced hair extension product there is. I am working exclusively with Ubaldo Giambertone hair extensions and Giambertone European hair from Italy to distribute their products in the United States. Ubaldo Giambertone works directly with the engineers, polymer scientists, Italian stylists, and me, to create cutting edge products. Ubaldo Gimbertone "Two Touch" is the newest generation in ultrasonic cold fusion technology. It is fast, safe, and makes perfect bonds everytime. The Gimabertone family have been producing hair for five generations. They are suppliers to major cosmetic companies and wig masters for film and theater across Italy. Giambetone can create my custom color blends in their factory in Sicily for me.

There is a lot of controversy on line about what hair is good and what hair is not. People will say anything bad about competitors hair and everything good about their own product. Just because it is Asian or Indian or Russian or European does not make it bad or good. There is bad Indian hair and good Indian hair, bad Asian hair and good Asian hair. It has taken me a lot of time, effort, research, and money to learn these differences. It all depends on how the hair is processed and the care taken to do it.

At our salon we choose what is the best quality hair for your texture. Then we customize the colors and make our our blends.
