As a hair artist, I love having a big gorgeous canvas to work with. So that’s one reason. But the truest of all my reasons is the pure joy & satisfaction of taking someone with really crappy hair & turning them into someone with really amazing hair!  I see a lot of women with Thyroid, autoimmune, hormonal issues (the list goes on) that cause hair loss or a serious lack of growth. Or maybe they just got genetically gypped & just didn’t get thick hair.  These women come & sit in my chair & talk about how terrible their natural hair makes them feel & I truly ..read more

Jacki Spellman LS October 29 ·  I had a conversation tonight with another stylist, Jason J. Daniel who re-sparked something I had said in a live video a month ago. About how I value beauty. About how most stylists value creating beauty because they have felt ugly at some point. So we value creating it for others. I spend my day coloring and cutting hair, or adding extensions while delivering words of affirmation to make people look & feel the best that I can! The truth is, I have spent a lot of my life hating what I saw in the mirror. It took me years to see the beauty ..read more

It's not always length we're after in doing Hand Tied Extensions. I see guests who are just really unhappy with how fine and flat their natural hair is. They can't get the style they want out of their natural hair, it won't hold a curl well, & lacks volume. It's frustrating to put work in styling your hair just to have it go limp again quickly. Some people really only want or need extensions added for some fullness. In this case we added only one row of NBR Extensions & shortened her length a little bit. Hand Tied Extensions allowed me to fill in the sides that were sparse ..read more

Jacki Spellman LS October 12 ·  In my consultation application form there’s a question asking what is it about NBR that has your ready for a consultation with me? A lot of answers I read get me choked up. I can feel the pain in the words women write on there. I read every single one, even when it’s not completed. It sinks in for me why I actually chose to change my career into doing Natural Beaded Rows Hair Extensions. There are stories of hair loss caused by post partum, weight loss, illness, extreme stress, hormonal issues, malnutrition through disease or eating disorders, or some ..read more
