If you follow my work at all you know I am a lover of hair extensions. The reason being is because it has the possibility to change so much about my clients. Aesthetically on the outside and the way they feel on the inside.

There are so many methods of hair extensions. Beaded, Keratin/glue fusion, tape-ins, clip-ins, braided weft… the list is endless. I have worn almost every method on myself for many years, mostly because I loved the way hair extensions made me feel about myself.

I was always eager to try the newest and greatest method, to see how it would do with my own hair. I never saw myself being a “hair extension specialist”, and honestly looked down on that term. None of it was working great for me so for about a year I gave up all together with extensions and cut my hair into a bob.

It was the best my hair would look without hair extensions so I committed to the style.

This is the part of the story where you are probably anticipating that NBR™️ magically popped into my life and changed everything.

But it didn’t.

Because it had been there the whole time.

I had several close friends that knew about the NBR™️ way. It was the only method I had not tried. I watched these friends from a distance. I saw their before and after pictures, and I thought “Oh that’s cute, good for them.”

They never pushed me into doing the method, and we all kept to ourselves.

Until one day I was scrolling on instagram. And a post from the Natural Beaded Rows Instagram caught my attention…

and for one split second, I knew in my soul that I had to give this thing a try.

I signed up for a class within minutes. It’s like I had been guided. I can’t even explain the feeling of urgency I had but I knew it was the missing piece.

3 months later I was in Huntington Beach, CA with 349 other stylists from all over the nation, and world, who were all there for the same reason as me…

a change.

Something had to change within all of us. The quality of our work, the way our business was structured, or the mindset of being a stylist, or all of it.

And finally I saw it..

NBR™️ or (Natural Beaded Rows), was different.

It WAS the difference.

It was natural looking, so full on the ends, and practically undetectable no matter which way you held it, split it, or looked at it.

NBR™️ is the method we use to install the hair, Hand Tied Hair is the type of hair weft we use in the installation.

Premium Hand Tied Hair is known for being thinner at the top in comparison to the more widely used Machine Tied Hair. Hand Tied is thinner at the top which mean you can layer more pieces together to achieve more fullness at the ends but still have weft at the scalp that lays more flat and seamless than Machine Tied Hair.

Many extension methods use Hand Tied Hair.

NBR™️ is known for being the first “Beaded Row” hair extension method. The foundation of NBR™️ involves a string track around the head in a halo section by using small aluminum beads attached to your own hair.

Once the foundation is layed we clip the hand tied hair weft by weft until the color blend and desired thickness is achieved.

Every piece of hair is custom colored prior to the installation. This makes the extensions look more seamless and invisible.

After the hair is clipped we sew the wefts onto the string track. This prevents further damage and makes the experience more comfortable to wear.

The NBR™️ difference is in the details.

It’s not one, or even two little things that make it better. It’s the method and the idea of never letting anyone leave your chair without seamless, custom, natural-looking and feeling extensions.

This is why I feel comfortable referring my clients to other members certified in NBR™️. We come together 6 times a year for education to learn and grown as artists.

We are an NBR™️ Tribe.
