NBR Certified, 13+ Years

Natural Beaded Row is Ashley's primary craft. Hand-tied, beaded weft extensions installed on a custom row map built for your head shape, hair history, and goals. No glue, no tape, no damage. Move-ups every 6 to 8 weeks.

Climate-Built Color

Balayage and lived-in color formulated for where you actually live. East Bay summers, Bend's high-desert UV, and the hard water in both. You stretch 4 to 6 months between full color, not 6 weeks.

Color and Extensions, One Chair

The whole reason this salon exists. Ashley and Alicia do your color and your NBR install in the same appointment, in the same chair, by people who understand how both interact. You stop juggling two different stylists.

Two Locations

Alamo, CA (220 Alamo Plaza Suite C-1) and Bend, OR (10 NW Minnesota Ave inside Tangerine Hair Salon). Serving the East Bay since 2012 and Central Oregon starting 2026.
