Looking for the best KTip extensions in Volusia County? You’re in the right place.
To get the best results from your appointment—especially if you're coming in for custom KTip hair extensions, lived-in color, or a blonding service—please arrive with clean, dry hair and minimal product. This helps ensure optimal color absorption and a secure bond during extension installation.
✨ Pro tip: Have 1–3 inspiration photos ready so we can create a look that aligns with your dream goals.
Light snacks and beverages are available in the salon (or feel free to bring your own). I want your time in my chair to feel like self-care—from the vibe to the final result.
Life happens—but out of respect for other guests and my time, I kindly ask for at least 48 hours' notice to cancel or reschedule your appointment.
As a solo artist specializing in custom KTip hair extensions and color services, last-minute changes impact my ability to accommodate other guests on the waitlist. Thank you for understanding and respecting these policies!
Your satisfaction is everything to me. If you're not completely thrilled with your hair after your visit—whether it's a color tweak, tone adjustment, or extension concern—please reach out within 7 days of your appointment so we can make it right.
I offer complimentary adjustments when needed (within one week of your service), as long as it aligns with our original consultation and agreed-upon look. Beyond that time frame or for major changes, additional fees may apply.
Your feedback helps me grow and maintain the luxury-level experience I’m known for. Please don’t hesitate to speak up—I’m here to ensure you love your hair every time.
Lived-in Hair Color is a modern, low-maintenance approach to coloring that features soft blending, dimensional tones, and a grow-out that stays beautiful for months. Think balayage, root shadows, and seamless transitions—ideal for clients who want luxury hair color without constant salon visits.
Traditional Hair Color, on the other hand, often uses solid applications or high-contrast formulas that require regular upkeep. While it delivers bold, defined results, it tends to show regrowth faster and can be more time-intensive to maintain.
Here in my chair, I specialize in lived-in blonding, custom color melts, and low-maintenance techniques that help you stretch the time between appointments—without sacrificing that freshly done glow.
Yes! I proudly use ARETE Professional Color, a clean, PPD-free, and ammonia-free hair color line designed with both scalp health and long-term hair integrity in mind.

Whether you're looking for a holistic approach to blonding or have sensitivities to traditional color lines, ARETE allows me to deliver beautiful, head-turning results with a healthier touch.
When it comes to hair color and care, I believe you shouldn’t have to choose between beautiful results and clean ingredients.

Absolutely—I require all new hair extension clients to start with a consultation. This helps us review your hair goals, assess your current hair health, and choose the best method and product plan for you.
It’s also a great opportunity for clients interested in organic color options, low-tox formulas, or holistic haircare to ask questions before diving into a service. My goal is to make sure you feel informed, confident, and excited about your transformation.

Choosing the right hair extension method depends on your natural hair type, lifestyle, and how you want your final look to feel and last. I specialize in helping women select the best option based on:
From K-Tip extensions to Hand-tied Wefts and other professional methods, I’ll help you weigh the pros and cons of each. Book a consultation and I’ll personally assess your hair and recommend the most natural-looking, low-maintenance option for your goals.
If your biggest fear with extensions is that they’ll look fake, stringy, or obvious—you’re not alone. The key to natural-looking, undetectable extensions comes down to two things:
In my chair, I exclusively use ethically sourced Slavic hair for all of my custom K-Tip extension services. Here’s why that matters:
Why Slavic Hair?
My Blending Process
Each set of K-Tip extensions is:
Whether you wear your hair up, down, curled, or air-dried—my goal is for no one to ever guess you’re wearing extensions (unless you tell them 😉).

Or Book a consultation to find out if Slavic K-Tips are the right match for your dream hair.
✔ A Completely Custom Look – Each set is hand-blended and tailored to match your exact color, density, and texture for an undetectable finish.
✔ Long-Lasting, Seamless Results – No tape, glue, or wefts. Just flawless, natural-looking hair with strand-by-strand application.
✔ Low Maintenance – No tightening or move-ups. Just beautiful, blended hair that moves like it’s your own.
✔ A Premium Experience – Every K-Tip client receives precision application, custom color blending, a luxury extensions brush, exclusive product samples, and complimentary monthly blowouts during the first set.
When applied by a highly trained specialist, K-Tip extensions are actually one of the safest and least damaging professional hair extension methods available today. Unlike older techniques, modern K-Tips are designed with strand-by-strand precision, customized bond sizing, and even weight distribution to maintain the health of your natural hair.
AS a certified K-Tip extension expert, I use techniques that:
✔ Match Your Hair’s Density – Each K-Tip bond is customized to match the density of your natural hair, preventing breakage, tension, or stress on your strands.
✔ Distribute Weight Evenly – Strand-by-strand placement ensures that no section of your hair carries too much weight, supporting long-term hair health.
✔ Allow for Natural Shedding – K-Tip bonds are placed to support your hair’s natural shed cycle, ensuring strands aren’t trapped or pulled unnaturally.
✔ Use Premium Keratin Bonds – I use high-quality keratin that melts down cleanly during removal—no sticky residue, no damage.
With proper installation and aftercare, K-Tip hair extensions do not damage your hair—they actually help reduce the need for daily heat styling and manipulation, which can protect your natural growth over time.
If you’ve had a bad experience with outdated extensions or are unsure what method is best for you, I’d love to show you how modern K-Tip extensions can give you luxury, length, and volume—without compromising your hair’s health.
Book a consultation to see if K-Tips are the right fit for you.
The longevity of your hair extensions depends on two key factors:
With proper care, luxury hair extensions can last anywhere from 4 to 10 months, depending on your lifestyle, homecare routine, and the extension type we choose for your hair goals.
Extension Method Breakdown:
✨ Weft Extensions
My most popular method for volume and fullness. The extension hair lasts 8–10 months on average, with maintenance every 6–8 weeks. Best for clients with medium to thick hair looking for customizable fullness and blend.
✨ Tape-In Extensions
Great for shorter-term wear or clients new to extensions. Tape-ins typically require move-ups every 5–8 weeks and last for 3–4 installations with proper care.
✨ K-Tip Extensions
Fully customized and ideal for the most natural, strand-by-strand blend. Most clients enjoy 4–5 months of wear per application, with some extending results to 6 months.
While re-bonding K-Tips is possible, it’s best suited for length-based transformations where maintaining a flawless blend is key.
Yes—when applied correctly by a trained professional, hair extensions are absolutely safe for your natural hair. In fact, they can help protect your hair by reducing daily heat styling, chemical exposure, and manipulation.
At my New Smyrna Beach salon, I specialize in low-damage hair extension techniques using premium products and advanced placement methods that maintain the health of your natural hair.
❗ Improper application is where damage happens. Tension, slipping, or breakage typically comes from poor sizing, incorrect installation, or lack of aftercare. That’s why it’s crucial to work with a certified hair extension specialist—especially for long-term wear methods like K-Tips or wefts.
