What It Is
A Hand Tied, Invisible Install
Not Braids, Not Beads
This is not braids, not knotless braids and not a beaded install. The base is invisible.
For More Than Textured Hair
It works for more than textured hair. As long as there is hair to knot to, the method works.
Rare in the US
Fewer than 50 stylists in the US offer this kind of install.
One Client a Day
Installs take about 6 hours, so the studio books one client per day.
Complimentary Wash and Style
Wash and style are complimentary while you wear your extensions.
The Creator
Created by Freida Nestor, with over 30 years in cosmetology and braiding, in Stockton, California, serving clients from anywhere.
