Meet Our New Talent Stylist: Reece

Everybody put your hands together as we officially welcome Reece Britt to the floor! In Reece’s own words…. “Yaaaaasssss!!!” So, what exactly does this mean? Well, if you’ve followed Garnish for more than about five minutes you know that we have an Academy here where our owner, Candice, trains new cosmetologists to become extension and color specialists. It’s an 18-24 month program that can pretty much be considered “grad school” for hair stylists. This means that by the time these stylists “hit the floor” to start accepting guests of their own they have spent at least one year training hands-on…

The NBR Experience at Garnish

Whenever there’s a new craze you begin to see it everywhere.

That’s why we place such a huge emphasis on education—because we value staying ahead of the curve to consistently offer the best services at the highest quality. That’s also why…

Transformation a la Garnish

What Exactly IS a Transformation a la Garnish? Here at Garnish we love a good transformation. So much so that we decided to actually specialize in creating hair transformations. A lot can go into a hair transformation, whether it’s a color correction, extensions, or both, so we’ve poured a lot of energy into becoming highly educated on these services. For us, a Transformation a la Garnish means investing in yourself and your hair knowing that you are choosing to achieve your hair dreams (or at least take a big step towards them). It means not just looking amazing in the…

Garnish Academy: Class is back in Session!

Recently, Candice had the opportunity to go out to the Paul Mitchell School in Raleigh alongside her apprentice team to speak to the students there. We interviewed her about the experience and why it was so important to her. K: Tell us about why you were at the Paul Mitchell School. Candice: I’ve been in the industry for 17 years and last year I created the Garnish Academy, my apprenticeship program. Through that program I’ve been able to invest back into the industry and help guide two new stylists through their first year (plus) out of school. I’ve seen what…

Halo Angels ✨

Calling all Angels… Here at Garnish, we LOVE extensions. We love being able to give women the hair they have been dreaming of, and using extensions to do so. And while we specialize in semi-permanent methods of extensions, we also recognize that for some lifestyles that’s just not feasible. We also know that sometimes women want extensions for a particular event, or for special occasions, but not for an every day look. Temporary Solutions with Versatility Traditionally, the solution for those ladies is clip-in extensions, but we wanted to shed some light on our personal favorite temporary extension method—HALO Extensions….
