Hi, I’m Lena. Let’s add length.

Hand-tied wefts, tape-ins and K-tips, color-matched in my suite and blended so well nobody can find a row.

Meet Lena

I matched my own hair first.

I started wearing extensions at nineteen after a bad bleach job. Nobody could match my color, so I learned to do it myself.

Today I keep a wall of hair in my suite and blend two or three shades for every client. I will tell you which method suits your hair, your budget and your gym habit, even if it is the cheaper one.

Good to know

Questions, answered

Which method is right for me?

It depends on your density, lifestyle and budget. That is what the free consult is for.

Will extensions damage my hair?

Not when they are installed, maintained and removed properly.

How long does hair last?

Quality hair lasts 6–12 months with good care.

Can I swim and work out?

Yes, with a few rules I will teach you.

Do I need a deposit?

Yes, hair is ordered for you, so the hair cost is paid up front.

Can I bring my own hair?

I only install hair I have sourced so I can stand behind it.
