OUR HAIR EXTENSIONS STORY
The Journey Began Behind the Chair.
Known for flawless installations-from perfectly flat, tension-free braid-downs to seamless blends that mimic natural hair texture. Yet, inconsistencies in hair quality on the market raised a challenge that couldn't be ignored.
In 2008, research and determination led to India, where multiple factories were visited in search of premium-quality hair. One supplier stood out-willing to listen, collaborate, and refine their product to meet the exact standard needed.
Today, the same trusted supplier provides the wavy and curly textures offered at Nadia Vassell Salon. Each bundle comes in its natural color, can be dyed to preference, and is made to last with proper care. Whether worn in its natural curl or wave pattern, or styled straight, the hair blends effortlessly with a variety of textures.
This is more than just hair-it's consistency, quality, and craftsmanship that speak for itself.
