Can we just take a minute to appreciate this rich expensive red? 

Have you ever thought about experimenting with a vibrant color like red but your’re not sure if you can pull it off? 

The correct red for your skin tone is soo important. If you have peachy or pink undertones; orange, coppers and pinky reds look best. If you have warm or olive tones; violets and deep mahogany’s are very complementary. 

My favorite reds are natural looking coppers, or a dimensional red that pushes the boundaries with enhanced saturation and fire! Wether you choose the natural route or the latter you are going to stand out in a crowd. 

Is Katie a natural red head? 
No, her hair is very brown, mousy with no warmth. While her hair has grown a shocking amount while continuously wearing NBR extensions, she still loves it when it’s super full and long! She wears 2 rows NBR with 22” Isla hand tied hair. Extensions have been a life saver this last year, with her loosing 1/3 of her hairs density from going under anesthesia. 

Yep anytime your body is under stress it can cause significant hair loss. Which usually subsides over time but can take a long time to get back to normal. 
Extensions are a great way to add that fullness back, while waiting for your hair to grow back. 

If you’re interested in changing up your look or want to feel like yourself again.

About Katie Miller
Katie Miller, co-founder of Vamp Salon, professional cosmetologist specializing in hand-tied hair extensions and custom color.
Meet Katie Miller, co-founder of Vamp Salon and expert in hand-tied hair extensions and custom color.

Hi there! I’m Katie Miller, Co-founder and Co-owner of Vamp Salon Extension Studio in Brentwood, CA.

With over a decade of experience in the salon industry, I’ve dedicated my career to helping clients achieve their dream hair with hand-tied extensions and custom hair color. Whether you’re looking for a lived-in blonde, dimensional brunette, or something bold and vibrant, I specialize in creating seamless, natural-looking transformations that enhance your beauty and confidence.
When considering a multi-dimensional blonde look, here are some specific hair goals you might have in mind:

1. **Natural-Looking Highlights**: Aim for a sun-kissed effect that mimics the natural lightening of hair from sun exposure. This creates depth and dimension without looking overly processed.

2. **Soft Balayage**: A gradual blend of blonde shades that transitions smoothly from darker roots to lighter ends, providing a low-maintenance option that grows out beautifully.

3. **Lived-In Color**: A look that allows for a more relaxed grow-out period, where the roots blend seamlessly into the lighter strands, requiring fewer touch-ups.

4. **Vibrant Pops of Color**: Incorporate subtle pastel tones or soft caramel shades into the blonde for added interest while maintaining an overall blonde aesthetic.

5. **Glossy Finish**: Focus on achieving a shiny, healthy look with a glossy treatment that enhances the multi-dimensional effect and adds vibrancy to the blonde hues.

6. **Face-Framing Highlights**: Create brightness around the face to add dimension and draw attention to your features, perfect for a fresh, youthful look.

7. **Textured Layers**: Combining multi-dimensional blonde with layered cuts to enhance movement and body in your hair, making the color pop even more.

8. **Customizable Shades**: Choose from a range of blonde tones—from cool ash to warm honey—tailored specifically to complement your skin tone and personal style.

Each of these goals can be discussed during your consultation to ensure that your multi-dimensional blonde look perfectly aligns with your vision!

Natural Beaded Rows™ Hair Extensions are an exclusive hair extension method created by Danielle K. White of DKW Styling. We custom color our clients’ hair and their extension hair creating ensuring a seamless blend. The hair extensions are placed in rows in the hair by creating a “track” with an exclusive bead and string technique. Wefts are then placed on the track and sewn in. The extensions are then cut and blended into our client's hair to create a natural and beautiful look!

This is why your FREE consultation is so important to us, as each consultation is personalized to your needs so you get the hair of your dreams. Most first-time clients can expect to invest $1,890 to $2,750 depending on the length of the extensions and the number of rows installed. This investment covers NBR™ Hair Extensions, Seamless Color, Cut, and Styling.

Yes, you are able to use conditioner without worrying that it will loosen your hair extensions.

Yes, you can swim and do activities with your NBR™ Hair Extensions. We suggest wearing it in a loose braid or ponytail and brushing with a wet brush and leave-in conditioner every time you get out of the water.

Here are the recommended steps:

  1. Choose the Right Extensions: Not all hair extensions are equally suited for swimming. If you intend to swim frequently, it's essential to understand the limitations of the hair extensions you choose to wear. If you are not sure, please seek advice from a hair extension professional.
  2. Pre-Swim Preparation: Saturate your hair with a professional, pH-balanced leave-in conditioner before swimming. This step helps protect the extensions from the damaging effects of chlorine and saltwater. Ask about the best leave-in conditioner available today!
  3. Be Mindful of Chlorine: Chlorine can be highly damaging to natural hair and extensions, stripping hair of its natural oils and leaving it dry and brittle. If swimming in a chlorinated pool, limit your time in the water and rinse your hair thoroughly with fresh water afterward.
  4. Consider Your Sunscreen: While sunscreen is crucial for protecting your skin and hair while swimming, some products contain an ingredient called avobenzone that can discolor hair extensions. Be mindful of the sunscreen you use when swimming with extensions.

Remember, while swimming with hair extensions is possible, it requires careful attention and the right approach to ensure they look their best. If you have any concerns, it's recommended that you consult with a hair extension professional.

We suggest getting new hair every 4-6 months.

Hair extensions are a popular choice for those seeking to add length, volume, or a change of style to their natural hair. However, maintaining the quality of these extensions is crucial for their longevity and appearance.

According to various experts, the replacement timeline for hair extensions can vary based on the extension type and how well they are maintained. Tape-in hair extensions, for instance, typically need to be replaced every six to eight weeks. This period can change based on individual hair growth rate and the level of care provided.

For synthetic extensions, the average lifespan is a few months, while high-quality hair extensions can last several months with regular use. Some hair can even be reapplied multiple times and last up to 12 months before needing replacement, depending on the type.

However, it's important to note that signs of wear, such as split ends and excessive shedding, indicate it's time to replace the extensions. Regular maintenance, including tidy-up cuts every six weeks for certain types like K-tips, can help prolong the life of the extensions.

In conclusion, while the general guideline is to replace hair extensions every few months, the exact timeline can vary. Regular maintenance and monitoring for signs of damage can extend the lifespan of your extensions, ensuring they continue to look their best.
