Surrounding yourself with a person experiencing the same issues as you can not only lead to empowerment, but also to the knowledge of how to heal.  Facebook groups are a powerful way to seek help, learn from professionals and share your personal experience.  In 2017, I launched a Facebook group called "Trichotillomania, Thinning Hair, Hair Loss Support, and Solutions," after only a few short months the group tripled in popularity.  Today, the group has over 2000 members, encompassing people with hair loss issues, medical experts advice for hair loss, hair restoration specialist ..read more

Highlight and lowlight hair foiling is becoming even more popular these days and is one of our most requested hair colors.  Tons of women show us pictures of J.Lo wanting her dimensional hair color and the best way to achieve this is through the highlight lowlight technique.  The color is achieved by adding the highlight foil with a lighter color or bleach, and the lowlight foil with a complimentary darker color or color(s).  I prefer to use foils since each color is perfectly packaged and there is no chance of them running together, but the free-hand balayage technique is also ..read more

Believe it or not, there are a handful of hair extension colors that are quite popular!  Solid shades tend to be the best sellers, second is two-tone piano shades, third is balayage shades, but there are colors that are difficult to match; those being subtle hues, color variations, and tones for natural hair.  These tones tend to live in the blonde shade category, and at Veila Pull-Thru Hair Virgin Extensions, we created the "Reversible" hair color which is very similar in shade.  One side is slightly darker/lighter than the other and can be applied as such.   ..read more

During these difficult days between Covid, worldwide unrest, and a recession, how does one possibly afford high-quality hair extensions?  The answer is investing in a method of hair extensions that are re-usable, made of virgin hair as well as durable.  The method of hair extension I am speaking of is Veila Pull-Thru, the method of attachment is made of strong polyurethane with holes that hair can be pulled through.  The attachment area receives very little stress unlike hand-tied wefts, which are sewn around a grid of micro-links, after removing and resewing the hand-tied weft ..read more

A highlighting cap, aka frosting cap, is a method where hair is pulled through tiny holes of a cap, later processed with bleach or hair color.  The highlighting cap has resurged in the salon industry gaining popularity in Brazil.  In the 1980s the highlighting cap was all the rage; it enabled a stylist to create a heavy blonde effect without changing the root color (think of Madonna's early days).  At that time,  dark roots and blonde hair were en vogue.   ..read more

As a hair extension expert for over 20 years, I am shocked to discover that salons are using only one or two types of hair extensions, which are often hand-tied tracks or tape hair extensions.  In an industry filled with countless methods of hair extensions, learning one method of extensions is a mistake.  Case in point, a lovely young lady with very fine hair came to Noelle Salon wanting to fix multiple hand-tied tracks which were falling out of her hair, they were not improperly applied, they were too heavy for her own fine hair to support.  The extensions were applied two we ..read more
