  • Based out of Newport Beach, California any request outside of a 10 mile radius will result in a travel fee and due at the time of booking along with the retainer to secure the date.

    All requests for Central/Northern California or Out Of State/Country there is a 2 night stay minimum depending on location, the day/night before and the day/night of the wedding and/or event, a nonrefundable retainer will be due to secure your date which will be discussed at the time of booking to cover travel, lodging, flights, etc. All bookings will be booked by the artist, the only exception is if you have a room to accommodate at the hotel or place you’ll be staying to get ready at.

    If booking a sunrise start time, before 7am, a fee or a 1night stay maybe required the night before the service. This goes for local as well.

    Parking fees may also apply. Valet will be the first preferred method but if valet is not offered then there must be parking on site. If at a house or an apartment with no guests or easy parking please have a space ready and available before the artist arrives.

    Any parking fees occurred will be added to the final payment due.

  • Clients are required to provide 24 hour notice prior to their appointment for any rescheduling or cancellation, failure to do so may result in a $100 cancelation fee.

Please note that all retainers paid are non-refundable. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation in adhering to these salon policies.

  • Weft Hair Extensions: offers the most coverage with the least amount of space taken. Usually 1-3 rows max depending on length and thickness desired. The hair itself will last 9-12 months with maintenance being every 6-8 weeks. It’s ideal for clients with medium to thick hair, those looking for max volume or length and those who like wearing their down more than up. You want to keep the weft flat so pulling hair back into tight ponytails aren’t recommended, low or high and loose ponytails/buns are perfect.

    Ktip Hair Extensions: are individual little keratin bonds that give the most natural look and comfortability. Ktips are a 360 degree hair extension, meaning they can be worn up, down or anyway you like. They are perfect for the client who works out a lot and is always in ponytail. They are perfect for fine, medium or thick hair and give the most natural feel and look. Depending on the desired effect you can use a couple peices to “spot treat” problem areas, give thickness where you want or just a full makeover with length and volume. The maintenance for ktips are every 2-3 months and you must buy new hair each time.

    Mix Method: Weft + Ktips: a mix of both methods for a client looking for max volume and length of a weft but also needing the customizability of ktips. This is ideal for bobs or shorter hair, clients who have breakage on top, wants to grow out their bangs, or doesnt have the density to cover a a weft around the hairline or who finds a bottom row uncomfortable. It blends both methods for a seamless outcome.

    1. Move up every 6-8 weeks

    2. Brush daily, always ends to roots

    3. Sulfate free shampoo & conditioner

    4. Always use a leave in conditioner after you wash and a hair oil daily on the ends of the extensions

    5. Deep condition at least 1-2 times a month

    6. AVOID any sunscreen with “avobenzone or Octocylene”. it will turn extensions either orange or a weird shade of pink. always use mineral sunscreen.

    7. When swimming brush hair before and try to wear in a low ponytail or braids (no buns), if swimming in a chlorine pool/water always spray leave-in conditioner before or get it wet prior with filtered water or wear in a high bun and keep it dry. Make sure to condition and brush after.

    8. After washing hair always make sure to blow-dry at least the roots of the extensions they rest is okay to air dry. NEVER sleep with wet hair though.

    9. Sleep with your hair in a loose pony, braid or even a high loose bun. Best to use a silk pillow or a silk bonnet. Always brush hair before you go to bed and wake up.

    10. Use soft water or a shower filter. Hard water can strip color and alter hair color usually turning it very brassy. I highly recommend “Filterbaby Pro”.

    11. Always use a heat protecter when styling.

    1. Replace hair and install every 2-3 months

    2. Brush daily, always ends to roots

  • Makeup:

    1. always come with a freshly washed face. no makeup or mascara residue please.

    2. moisturizer and eye creams are okay to use, but no sunscreen. If you have a specific regimen or product you need to use or love please reach out to see if it will work with the makeup.

    3. I carry everything you need from prep, skin, lashes, etc.. everything you need I have. however if you have a very specific look or product feel free to bring it with you.

    4. While the makeup will last and you will be set to enjoy the day/night. I do recommend having/getting a touch up powder and a lipstick, gloss or lipliner as well. especially if you will be eating hours later.

    Hair:

    1. Come with freshly washed and blowdried hair. You can always add a blowout as well if you don’t want to blow-dry yourself.

    2. If you like your hair a little more “dirty” no more then 2 day old hair. Any hair that has too much product (dry shampoo, sprays, etc..) or is greasy will be asked to wash and dry prior. If the schedule doesnt allow time unfortunately the service will be canceled and nonrefundable.

    3. Hair prep: wash with shampoo and conditioner (if your hair is very fine and doesn’t hold a curl you can skip or use very little) and use a leave in conditioner then blow-dry. If booking a blowout, wash with shampoo and conditioner and have it towel dried, I will provide the rest

    4. Always make sure hair is brushed and unmated prior to appointment.

    5. If using clip ons make sure they are brushed and if previously curled or used make sure they are washed and blowdried as well prior to appointment.
