After nearly two and a half years of dedication, hands on training, and completing our in house Hair Extensions Academy, I’m beyond excited (and honestly a little emotional) to announce that I’m officially taking on my own hand-tied hair extension clients! This journey has been so much more than learning a technique — it’s been about growing in confidence, honing my artistry, and preparing to offer something truly transformative for my guests. I’ve poured my heart into learning our signature beaded row method, and now, it’s time to put that into practice behind the chair.

Hand-tied extensions are one of the most natural, low-maintenance, and beautiful ways to add length and volume — and our method is designed to protect your natural hair while giving you the fullness you’ve always dreamed of. Every new install is custom-colored, cut, and blended to match your natural hair. It’s about enhancing your natural beauty, not masking it. I’m so proud to be part of a salon team that not only specializes in extensions, but in doing them right — with health, integrity, and longevity in mind.

Our salon is nestled inside a charming historic building in the heart of downtown Duluth, and there’s truly something magical about working here. From the old brick walls to the warm light that pours through the two giant windows, the space is filled with history and heart — a perfect match for the thoughtful, elevated hair experience we strive to offer. It feels like the kind of place where transformation happens, inside and out. 

What also makes our salon different is our commitment to clean beauty. We believe that gorgeous hair shouldn’t come at the expense of your health or the planet. That’s why we use products that are clean, effective, and safe — both in our color services and haircare. You can trust that when you sit in my chair, you’re getting luxury results with mindful ingredients.

This moment feels incredibly full-circle. From assisting installs to finally leading them myself, I’m so ready (and honored) to welcome new guests for their first beaded row experience. If you’ve been thinking about trying hand-tied extensions, I’d love to meet you and chat about what’s possible. Give the salon a call today and get put on my books! Thank you to everyone who’s supported me through this journey — it’s just the beginning. xoxo

With peace and love Hailey Barts
