About Terri
Hi, I’m Terri.
I’ve been placing extensions for thirty years, and I still love it the same way I did the first week.
Extension specialist at Altered Ego Salon · Tempe, Arizona
I’ve worked on every kind of head you can imagine. Thick, thin, curly, fine, postpartum, post-chemo, color-damaged, just-bored. I’m a full-service stylist (cuts, color, and curl work are all part of my chair), but the reason I made extensions my specialty is because nothing else in this industry gives someone their face back the way a great extension install does.
Most of my clients come to me because someone else turned them down. They’ve been told their hair is “too fine for extensions” or “too damaged” or “too short.” Almost none of that is true. It just means whoever was looking at it didn’t know which method to reach for.
I do.
Nothing else in this industry gives someone their face back the way a great extension install does.
Most stylists know one method. I’m certified in nine.
Because no single method is right for every head of hair. When you sit in my chair, I’m not selling you a brand. I’m fitting you to one.
Great Lengths
The gold standard for K-tip extensions. The highest-quality human hair on the market.
HairDreams
Premium European hair, the Nano method, and the Mesh Integration system for hair loss.
Covet & Mane
Hand-tied wefts, beautifully made.
Dream Catchers
The original beaded-weft system.
Nano
The smallest bond available, for the most invisible placement.
Evolve
Tape-ins designed for fine hair.
Lohr
Custom-color extensions for difficult color matches.
Confidence with Crown
Specialty toppers and hair pieces for hair loss.
DevaCurl Level 2 Advanced
Advanced curl cutting and styling, because extensions have to blend with your real texture, curls included.
I do my best work for women who…
- Have fine, thinning, or fragile hair and have been told extensions aren’t an option
- Want length or volume, but don’t want it to look like extensions
- Are recovering from postpartum shedding, illness, or stress-related hair loss
- Have lived with thin hair your whole life and are quietly tired of it
- Want a stylist who’ll be honest if extensions aren’t the right answer
I’ll happily tell you when I’m not the right fit, including when extensions themselves aren’t. That conversation is free, and it’s part of how I sleep at night.
Free consultation
The only way to know if I’m right for your hair is to sit down with me.
Consultations are free, last about thirty minutes, and you’ll leave knowing exactly what your options are, even if those options are “go see someone else.”
