02 / Her approach

Your hair comes first.

The wall of swatches is a good place to start. Shade, texture, length: each is part of finding a match. The attachment method deserves the same attention.

Lauren works across more than six extension methods and eleven sources of hair. That range gives her room to choose around your natural hair, your budget, and how you like to wear it.

  1. A considered match

    Talk through the fullness and length you want, alongside the condition of your own hair.

  2. A plan for everyday wear

    Understand the upkeep, appointments, and cost before choosing your method.

  3. Care through removal

    Lauren puts as much thought into taking extensions out as putting them in.

03 / The methods

Different methods.
One personal fit.

These are three of the options Lauren offers. Your consultation is the place to decide which approach suits your hair and routine.

Tape-ins

Light, flat wefts placed around sections of your own hair. At an adjustment appointment, the extensions are removed, re-taped, and reapplied.

04 / Meet Lauren

A craft that became her calling.

Lauren first learned to apply extensions from her cousin at fourteen. She went on to graduate from Paul Mitchell The School with High Honors and train at Patrick Evan Salon in San Francisco.

In 2015, she opened her own studio. Today, her private space in Alamo offers a quieter setting for clients seeking added length, more fullness, or support with hair loss.

We chose Lauren for Volume I for her breadth of training and her attention to the person in the chair.

“There isn’t a one size fits all pair of jeans, and the same goes for hair extensions.”
