YouTube Spoiler Alert 🚨

Spoiler Alert! You may remember that last month we announced our upcoming YouTube Channel. It is now fully underway and our first videos will be launching in the next few weeks, so we wanted to take a moment to give you a more in-depth look at what content you can expect to see coming from our channel. There will be two separate series of videos debuting on our channel that address two completely different aspects of our business. The first will be a series called, “Garnish Your Growth.” These will be 10-15 minute long videos featuring a conversation between Candice…

The #1 East Coast Hair Extensions Salon

…it all started with an affirmation. Hair Extensions are our passion! If you follow us on Instagram, you’ve probably noticed that there’s a couple of things that set our team apart. Our matching handles, our signature grey photo background, and our names—#1 East Coast Hair Extensions. Back in January when we transitioned to exclusively extensions, I had the entire team change their names to reflect this title. I had been writing this down as an affirmation and mantra for probably six months prior to the transition actually happening. My goal was simple—I wanted to be the #1 person on the…

Managing Summertime Brass

There’s one particular hair struggle that we hear about every single Summer. It comes with being out in the sun and elements, and it takes a little effort to counteract. Yep, we’re talking about keeping your ‘lites from turning brassy. Whether you’re the blondest blonde or a balayaged brunette, if you prefer to keep your hair cool or even neutral, it’s going to take a little extra work in the Summer. Lucky for you, we’re here to talk you through it. Let’s spend just a minute talking about what brass is and how it happens. Everyone has warmth in their…

It’s Our Special Day! It’s Our 5 Year Anniversary!

five years Wow. It’s amazing to think of how much we’ve grown and changed over the last 5 years. Garnish was my first baby way back before I ever had children. If you’ve been following the salon for a while, you probably already know its history. How I felt called to open a studio space focused on transformations, with an emphasis on extensions. How we built Garnish from the ground up based on a mindset of serving our guests and making sure you felt AMAZING when you walked out the door. How the studio has evolved and expanded beyond my…

The Subtle Magic of One Row ✨

Guest Written by our amazing Niko Jones While all of our extension transformations are dope, I wanted to take some time to shine some light on my favorite kind of transformation—the subtlety of one row. What I love about having one row is that it looks like it’s just your hair, but better. It’s a super natural look, and you may or may not know, but I’m all about a natural look. I love anything that’s low maintenance, and one row is the most low maintenance way to have extensions. The Look. Having wispy ends is more common than you’d…

The Garnish Experience

The Garnish Experience In just a couple of months we will celebrate our five year anniversary. A lot has changed since the inception of Garnish Hair Studio. We grew as a salon, transitioned into our niche of hair extension transformations, and continue to evolve as the triangle’s premiere extension studio. There is one aspect of our business, however, that has never shifted—what we call The Garnish Experience. If you’ve been into the studio, you already know what we’re talking about. That signature scent when you walk in the door, being greeted by our receptionist, and offered a beverage of your…

Happy 4th of July! 💥

Happy Independence Day! If you’re not at the beach, you’re probably at the pool, and if you’re not at the pool you’re definitely attending a BBQ. No matter where you are, the temps are hot, it’s humid AF, and no one wants to mess with their hair right now. ESPECIALLY if you’ve got hair extensions, which let’s be real can be kind of like a blanket on your neck. That’s why we wanted to take a moment to share some different ways to wear your hair today (and for the rest of this blistering hot Summer). First up…Bandanas + other…

Crown + NBR Hair Extensions: A Match Made in Heaven 😍

Mixing two different extension methods is not unheard of, but it’s also not super common. Most of the time an artist is looking for one solution to apply to someone’s hair needs. While this might work in the majority of cases, there are just some hair situations that go beyond one method being the perfect fit. Candice has specialized in Crown Extensions for years, and when she learned Natural Beaded Rows a couple of years ago, she realized that an opportunity existed to combine the two in order to provide options for women who were not a candidate for just…

Summer Haircare Tips ☀️

A few weeks ago we shared our Summer Survival Guide directed at taking care of your hair and hair extensions during the Summer months. In case you missed it, you can check it out here. Today we wanted to share a few things to be on the look out for this Summer that aren’t extension specific, but are still super important to keep in mind for the wellbeing of your hair. First up, we wanted to dive a little deeper into the pool queen’s nightmare… Chlorine. Chlorine strips the natural oils out of your hair, which is why your hair…
