The atelier
Invisible by design, unforgettable by effect.
Nightshade is a private extension atelier in Montrose. Every install begins with a consultation, a color match and a plan for how your own hair stays healthy underneath.
We use ethically sourced Remy hair, cut and color every row to blend, and see you every six to eight weeks to keep it flawless.

Twenty-two inches and nobody believes they're extensions. Valentina is a genius.
My fine hair finally has volume — and my own hair is healthier than before.
The color match was flawless. Marco blended three tones into my balayage.
Gorgeous atelier, private and calm. Feels like a secret.
Imogen matched my curl pattern exactly. I have never felt so me.
Worth every penny. I get stopped in the grocery store.
