Daily Workflow:
I work most days with my assistant. We will book anywhere from 3-5 clients for reinstalls and color appointments. We work hand in hand usually with a fast-paced day. We keep new installs to 2 max per day. When I don’t have her, I usually book 2-3 reinstalls with/without color.

Specializes In:
I am extension-exclusive, only doing IBE^® with a full-time assistant. I am hyper-focused on technique. The majority of my clientele has fine hair that doesn’t have wiggle room for damage. I tend to be a more rows, less wefts type of stylist, especially because of my clientele. I love doing multiple rows to achieve big transformation as well as ultimate blend. Mixing hair lengths to achieve the best end result is a favorite of mine. I tend to be a strategic stylist when it comes to placement and technique..

I have an amazing husband that I have been married to for 4 years, He is an incredible horse trainer which is a great thing we have in common. I have done hair for 16 years now and wouldn’t change it for the world. I started working for IBE® as a mentor the first of 2019 and what an incredible journey it has been. Being apart and working for Invisible Bead Extensions® has changed my life for the better, the amount of growth I have experienced is overwhelming, in a good way. Being a mentor has been so important to me, I personally believe it is very important to have a support system when you are learning something new and implementing growth.

Caleigh Giarra

• @caleigh.tomboyhair

My name is Caleigh Giarra, and I began my journey in this industry in 2013. I was inspired by fun bangs and textured haircuts, and really decided this career could be for me after being a hair model at a few hair shows in NYC. I loved the art and creativity that I saw, which was different than what I had previously seen in the industry.

In the beginning, I made it my goal to be good at everything hair related – long hair, short hair, mens hair, dog hair (just kidding about the last one). It wasn’t until I dove into hair extensions in 2018 that I realized the importance of finding your niche/specialty and truly honing in on it. I fell in love with lived-in, low maintenance color, and found it’s match with handtied extensions. I love the transformations that can happen in a matter of hours, and the detail work, in addition to the added creativity it takes to complete the whole look.

I like to create looks that could’ve grown out of the head naturally, and will continue to grow out fl.

Chelsea King McVey

• @columbus.blonde.whisperer

Daily Workflow:
I fly solo in a salon suite and am a quality over quantity type of stylist! I enjoy that one-on-one time with my clients without the feeling of being rushed, so I will typically schedule 2-3 clients a day and do not double book. I will typically run my day with a morning appointment and an afternoon appointment.

Specializes In:
I am an extension exclusive stylist focusing solely on IBE^®. I love everything about the technique and working to perfect every aspect more and more with every row installed. I really believe the cut & color are what pull the entire look together & love focusing on those little details to ensure everything is seamless. I am definitely known for my blondes but have a good mix of blonde and brunette clientele.

IBE^® Certified Since:

Hello! My name is Chelsea and I am located in Columbus Ohio. I’m going on 15 years as a stylist and have just as much passion if not more as when I started! Invisible Bead Extensions® was the first experience I had with extensions & as soon as I began my training I knew it was a brand & method that fully resonated with me and that I wanted to be apart of. Within a year and a half of receiving my certification I completed the Masters courses to become a Master Technician and Elite Artist, and transitioned my business to exclusively offer Invisible Bead Extensions®. I’m somewhat of a “knowledge nerd” and love learning all of the ins and outs and whys of the method and being a perfectionist with all the little details doesn’t hurt too! Seeing the confidence and pure joy my clients have when they see their final reveal is what I live for and I feel so lucky to be able to give that gift back to them with IBE®.

Danielle Khun

• @dk.pinkpoppysalon

Hey girl, I’m Danielle! I’ve been in the industry for 13 years & have never been more in love with my career! I attended cosmetology school at the Aveda Fredrics Institute. After graduation, I spent a year apprenticing before transitioning into an independent stylist. I had always wanted to do extensions, but never felt that there was a method that was safe for my clients hair & scalp. Then along came IBE®. I became IBE® certified in October of 2020. Immediately I saw the value in the education IBE® provides, so I signed up for Masters just a few short months after becoming certified! I went from being certified to an Elite stylist within a year, and made the transition to an extension only clientele. I spend my time behind the chair specializing in creating lived in looks by combining my years of knowledge in the industry with my new found passion for extensions. I take great pride in what I do, and am tirelessly working to continue perfecting my craft.

Daily Workflow:
Currently, I'm solo without an assistant, but I have worked with them in the past. I'm a chair rental salon owner, and I work three-four days a week, from 10 until 4-5 pm. I'm an IBE^® and color-exclusive stylist that takes 2-3 clients a day. Most of my day-to-day appointments are color and re-installs. The majority of my clientele has two or more rows.

Specializes In:
I enjoy all aspects of the IBE^® method, but Technique is my first true love. Scalp health, weft placement, comfort, flexibility, stitching and customizing every IBE^® experience to each guests needs. The average time in my chair for a color/highlight and two-row re-install is about 3.5 hours. On average, I can remove and install a row in just under an hour. I specialize in lived-in timeless colors, but blondes and brondes are what I primarily do behind the chair. I can color on and off the head, but I prefer to color off the head, lessening the overall time a guest is in my chair. I believe in working smarter, not harder. If a guest needs weft refreshing, I do that while their color is processing. My main focus is the health + integrity of the guests' scalp and natural hair. The beautiful hair at the end of every service is the cherry on top. You can be confident in knowing you are receiving the most incredible experience from start to finish.

IBE^® Certified Since:

I’m not new to extensions, as I have been an extension artist for 20+ years. Prior to my IBE® certification, I specialized in keratin tip extensions, full/ partial protective styles, and other hand-tied weft methods, colors, and men’s and women’s hair cutting. After I discovered Invisible Bead Extensions®, it was game over. I can tell you it was the best decision I have made in my career. It changed me as a stylist for the better. Now my primary focus behind the chair is specializing in luxury extensions and lived-in-color experiences, bringing all the information I’ve collected and the advanced education I have acquired to create a magical experience for each guest. I love every little detail that goes into every look completed, but nothing beats the newfound confidence and happiness I can give my guest when we are finished.

When I’m not behind the chair, you can find me hanging out with my husband. We are empty nesters as our son is now in college. We enjoy traveling to our sons’ football games in the fall, and in the summer, you will find us at the lake relaxing or out and about exploring small towns on the side by side with our friends and family.

Daily Workflow:
I don’t have an assistant, I’m solo in my own studio. I start my day at 9 am and typically work until 7 pm. I have quite a few clients that do color and extensions, some days I have 2-3 if it’s color/extensions. There are days if I’m only doing move-ups I can get through 4-5 guests. I currently only have guests that have 1-2 rows.

Specializes In:
Technique is my thing. I’m a perfectionist and I do not cut corners. Clean sectioning is a must. I’m not the fastest stylist because I want everything to be perfect. I love color as well, I do a lot of blondes and brunettes. I wouldn’t say I specialize in one specific color, I love it all. When it comes to coloring extensions I do most of my work off the head. I am really good at troubleshooting to make sure everything is custom for each and every client. My goal is to help guests maintain and or mend their hair health along with adding extensions to help them reach their goals. I have quite a few clients that have experienced hair loss and I have helped them grow their hair back.

IBE^® Certified Since:

I have been a hairstylist for 20+ yrs, prior to certification in IBE® I specialized in color correction, vivids, and blondes. I also LOVE cutting hair from long layers to the perfect bob to the cute fun razored pixie. I have now switched to only specializing in extensions, taking all the knowledge I have had prior and utilizing that with all my extension guests. Extensions are therapeutic for me(I’m a perfectionist). I love helping guests feel and look their best. I am solo in a studio salon, I love the intimate setting with each and every individual. When I’m not behind the chair you can find me spending time with my husband and son and 2 golden retrievers. We love spending our time doing anything and everything outdoorsy.

Hi friends! I’m Haley. I hit the ground running with IBE® in 2019 when IBE® was launched and it has now become my truest passion. I own Modish Salon in Sarasota, FL which was nominated the top IBE® Salon in 2021, and I work beside 9 other passionate IBE® certified stylists. I’m obsessed with the transformation of the initial install on a new client, installing brand new extensions, with a customized color on the extensions & their natural hair makes me obsessed with what I do everyday! I love making women feel their best self. If I’m not behind the chair, I’m either still working (life balance?) or at the dog park. If you don’t like dogs, we can’t be friends.

Heidi is as real as they get. She has been doing hair since she was 17 and hasn’t regretted one day behind the chair. Challenges arise and she faces them head on. Heidi started out as a commission stylist, but has worked in every facet behind the chair including booth rent, salon owner, and now working in a suite rental.
