what is best for you?

Like lots of things, extensions come in many forms. Tape-in, I-Tip, K-Tip, Hand Tied, the list goes on.

Before offering Invisible Bead Extensions® (a method that falls under "Hand Tied" extensions), I installed and wore Tape-Ins. They are fast, easily customizable,  and you can put them exactly where you want them. For me, I moved on to Hand Tied extensions because I didn't like the grow out of Tape Ins, and I do not miss the sticky residue during removal.

I believe that there are pros and cons to just about every method, and some are better fits than others.

One of the major pros of Invisible Bead Extensions® is how gentle, easy to maintain, and healthy it is on your hair. It just might be the low impact addition to your life to boost that inner beauty through outer beauty.

the process

001 | Apply for Appointment

Below is the link to my Extension Application - this is how I get to know you a little better, and make sure I can achieve your hair goals! Once this is completed, you’ll hear back from me in 24-48 hours via text.

002 | Book An Appointment

Once the completed form is received, I’ll send you my booking link. That’s when you schedule a time to chat so we can talk specifics on pricing, what extension maintenance looks like, and color match you. If everything sounds good, that’s when a retainer is paid and we schedule your install!

003 | the Install

This is where the magic happens. Wefts are placed in a custom pattern best suited to your head shape, lifestyle, comfort, and scalp health. Included in the install is cutting and blending your extensions, so that no one knows you have extensions if you don’t want them too. You also get a gift bag of goodies to help you maintain your new look. 

004 | Care & Maintenance

At your install, you get a care card to take home to help remember some of the big do’s and don’ts with extensions. We schedule your reinstall appointment, and if you need any products to protect your investment I have those on hand too! Also, check out my resources page for more videos with tips and tricks on extensions.

005 | Live a more confident life

Your hair is the crown you never take off, so wear it with your head held high! I’m always here to answer any questions and help troubleshoot anything that comes up. Remember- anyone who says “it’s just hair” doesn’t understand the impact extensions can have on your life, and you deserve to feel as beautiful as you truly are.

"I first sought out Jillian in 2020. I was looking for extensions for a wedding I was going to be in. I have super fine hair, so I wanted to go with IBE after tons of research of what would be the best method for my hair type. I drove just under 2 hours to see her and left feeling so confident with my dream hair. She always is quick to answer my questions and makes getting your dream hair so enjoyable. Definitely worth the drive for me!"














Tara E.

"I appreciate Jillian’s knowledge and desire to continue learning new and exciting things in hair. I always look forward to my appointments and the attention she gives to detail."













Jen P.

"Jillian is simply the best! She takes the time to listen to your vision and truly cares about keeping your hair healthy in the process. I have very fine hair and she is able to transform my hair into my dream hair. Every visit is definitely something I look forward to!"












Valerie H.

"I have been seeing Jillian for over 12 years and have followed her each time because when you find the best you stay with the best. She has done my wedding hair, helped me manage my post pregnancy hair and helped me deal with the dreaded grays by helping keep my hair colored beautifully and healthy!"












Kathy R.

"I have been a client of Jillian’s for over 7 years. This girl can do it all! I feel more and more confident each time I leave her chair! Her ability to give me the hair of my dreams with her extension expertise will keep me coming back again and again!"

FAQs

FAQs

what's the maintenance on extensions?

With Invisible Bead Extensions® I ask that you come approximately every 8 weeks for a reinstall. At that appointment I analyze your grow out, take out your rows, troubleshoot anything you've been struggling with as far as placement, and then I use new beads and new thread to put your wefts back on your head.

I say "approximately" because my more fine-haired clients will need to come in closer to 7 weeks, where I have some clients that have the ability to go 9-10+ weeks.

are extensions expensive?

The #1 question I get but, the problem is, the answer varies and is a bit subjective.

Remember, before you ask any extension artist their price, that extensions are a luxury service. Do I want to live without extensions? Absolutely not. Do I NEED extensions? No.

Next, consider their level of training and expertise. There are lots of ways to get certified, but there is only one way to become an expert and that's putting in your 10,000 hours.

I have been certified in Invisible Bead Extensions® for almost 2 years now, gone through master classes, and became a Platform Artist. My constant search for improvement and knowledge is consistent.

Finally, know that we assign value differently. What is expensive to you might not be expensive to someone else.

Why should i get extensions?

Bring you confidence? Simplify your morning routine? Make you excited to get ready?

With Invisible Bead Extensions® your hair can be all those things - and more. As a method, it's safe for even the finest of hair. As a lifestyle, it's a game changer. I'm biased, I know.

how long does the hair last?

Most extension hair companies will say 7-10 months with proper at home care. I say so much depends on you! Usually people get 8-10 months out of their hair, but some are really hard on their hair and so that means closer to 6 months. Some are super careful, and they can get a year or more out of their hair! I do my best to source the highest quality hair and set you up for success; rest is up to you!
