Less Foam. Less Friction. Less Fading.

Going Dark This Fall? MUST HAVE: Kerastase Chroma Sensitive.  This low foam, low friction, shampoo meets conditioner cleanses hair without washing away color. Chroma Sensitive is an ultra- gentle sulfate, paraben, and silicone free formula that locks in color and boosts radiance. Apply Chroma Sensitive during the first three shampoos after your color service, then alternate every other wash with Reflection Bain and Masque. 

Dipped Hair Color

Lauren Conrad is setting hair trends again. Debuted on her website The Beauty Department, LC wrote to fans, "You voted and I did it." The pink, purple, green and blue is far from LC's typical straight-and-narrow style. Whether it's a way to treat the boyfriend blues or a tribute to same sex marriage, she nailed it. 

Tip: Use Hair Extensions to create this look. Therefore, your natural hair will not be harmed during the coloring process. 

Will this replace the Ombre Hair Color and Feather Hair Extensions trend?

Braid to Order

Lauren Conrad is the seasons queen of the braided hairstyle. It seems like every picture I see of her has one of her signature braids.

Whether casual or formal, braids are perfect for the airy looks of summer. With the temperatures rising, the urge to sweep our hair off our face and neck has never been so tempting. The effortless style can be easily transfered from day to night occasions. Think braids are only for a day out at the beach? Add a chic hair accessory to create a more elegant look. Try a big messy braid, a braided upstyle, or a fishtail braid to cut down on time in the morning battling with your blow dryer. Love the braids you see on the red carpet and runways? Can't imagine doing them yourself? You're in luck! Salons across the country are incorporating braids into their styling services.

How To Create A Summer Side Braid

Step 1: Spray Paul Mitchell Extra Body Daily Boost to sections of your dry hair. Concentrate on the crown area and make sure the product reaches your scalp. Blow dry with Paul Mitchell 413 Sculpting Brush.  

Step 2: Spray Kerastase Double Force Control Ultime and tease a few sections at the crown to add lift.

Step 3: Pull hair to desired side and braid a typical three-strand braid. Secure with an elastic.

Step 4: Gently pull and loosen a few pieces of the braided hair. 

The Truth About Hair Extensions

I uncovered my passion for Hair Extensions when my vision became a reality that hair enhancement could actually benefit the natural hair. Not all of us are blessed with long, thick, strong hair. Hair Extensions can give you the hair you've always dreamed of having. 


Autumn Houston Hair Extensions uses the Cylinder or Loc method. There is no gluing, heat, sewing, or taping. I thread your natural hair through the copper loc. The Hair Extension is inserted into the loc, and securely closed.  The method is completely safe. There is no tension, stretching, or chemicals used for the application or removal process. 

Proper Hair Extensions Application

You will need to have an Extensions Maintenance every 2-3 months. This is because, as your natural hair grows out, so do the extensions. During your maintenance, I will remove your extensions and brush out your natural hair thoroughly.  I remove the extensions by placing the closed, flattened loc into a tool that opens it and the extension easily slips out. Then I will reinstall your extensions. 

Your biggest investment when getting hair extensions is the hair. The hair is re-useable with regular maintenances. The life of the hair depends on how you care for it. The hair I use will last 1 year with proper care. The hair is single drawn, meaning it came from the same ponytail. Therefore, the cuticle is uniform and will not tangle. 

Do not believe anyone who says the hair lasts forever. If the hair is cheap, it wont last and you will have to replace it often. With Hair Extensions you get what you pay for.  If a Stylist charges $2,500 for Hair Extensions, and says the hair needs to be replaced every few months, you are being ripped off. Hair that price should last a year. 

Damage is caused when a stylist misleads you that you can go more than 3 months without your Extensions Maintenance. Your hair will dread lock and tangle. You must tend to this hair regularly as with any Hair Extensions System. 

The safety of your hair is my main concern. Honesty is the foundation of my work and services. The tip of your extension will be re-bonded during maintenance, so it is as good as the initial use. I do not reuse locs, you will get new ones every maintenance.  Otherwise, they would become too sharp and dangerous to your natural hair.  

Consultations are complimentary. I encourage clients to come into the salon and meet me. You will be able to see and feel the extensions because I wear them in my hair. We will discuss your desired look and how many extensions are needed to achieve it. There is absolutely no pressure to place an order. I want you to make an educated and comfortable decision. For your convenience, a written quote will be provided along with an ongoing maintenance estimate. If you are ready to place an order, a 50% deposit of the service total is required. 

I am often called or emailed and asked how much hair extensions cost. Though I understand this is a very important question that needs to be answered, there is not one price. The cost is dependent on how many strands you need and the length you want. I use the highest quality hair on the market and Hair Extensions is my area of expertise. 

Your Hair Extensions service will include a Blending Haircut and a Hair Extensions brush. Extensions can be styled just like your natural hair, using your favorite hot tools in even more creative ways.  Whatever look you want, I will help you learn how to do in just minutes.
