Tara Before Extensions

Tara After Extensions

Donna Tripodi, Senior Stylist and Hair Extension Expert created this beautiful transformation:

Tara recently came to the salon for a hair cut appointment. She shared with me that she lacked confidence because her hair looked flat and lifeless. Tara had been previously told that for thicker-looking hair she would need to cut her length, but she loves her long hair. I explained that the look she wanted to achieve would require more than just a strong hair cut. We would need to actually add to her hair, rather than cut it off.

I knew immediately that Tara was a good candidate for Great Lengths hair extensions. But like most, she was concerned whether extensions would break or damage her hair, be difficult to work with, and most of all, would look fake. It was very important that her extensions look and feel as natural as possible.

I addressed Tara’s concerns by walking her step-by-step through the extension bonding process. Great Lengths uses a synthetic Keratin polymer, similar to the keratin that makes up real hair. Therefore, a natural fusion is created between the extension and your own hair.

Applying Great Lengths individual hair extensions gave Tara the density and volume she wanted. Her new look was truly empowering. She felt confident, sexy, and most important, she was finally happy with her hair.

Another thing that I love about Great Lengths, is that it allows for the creation of depth and tonality to the hair color without the actual coloring process. You can add lighter pieces of hair to look as if you have highlights. If you look at Tara’s before and after pictures, it may look as though her hair has been colored, but it was not. I was able to customize Tara’s color by adding three different tones of caramel, chestnut and chocolate brown. You can see from these photos how beautifully these colors blend. Now she not only has long, thick hair, she also has beautiful color.
