Extensions and color in Summerlin
Lengthwise is an extension and color studio in Summerlin. We choose the method first, match the shade in daylight, and put every move-up on the calendar in weeks. We are accepting new clients.
Three installs
Each method sits differently, comes out differently and moves up on its own schedule. The consultation narrows the three down to one.

Length and blend
Extensions are a schedule more than a single appointment. This is a typical one; your stylist writes yours at the consultation.
Your color is blended and the length is placed, in the method you chose at the consultation.
A message or a short visit to see how everything sits, and to answer what came up.
The wefts or tips are lifted and set closer to your roots, and the color is blended again where it has shifted.
Either one is booked at the same time as the last, so the calendar stays full of dates you chose.
Color blend
Extension hair arrives close to your shade, never exact.
Before and after the install, your stylist tones the length and your roots at the basin so the two read as one color. The blend is its own step on the menu, with its own time set aside.

Carissa leads every consultation. After it, you book the stylist whose method suits your hair.
Owner and extension specialist
Carissa opened Lengthwise so that extensions would be a plan: the method chosen first, the shade matched in daylight and every move-up booked before you leave. She leads each consultation. She speaks English and Tagalog and works Tuesday to Saturday.
Stylist, hand-tied wefts
Arnaldo does the hand-tied installs and their move-ups, and cuts the new length to meet your own hair. He speaks English and Spanish and works Wednesday to Saturday.
Stylist, color blend
Rosalyn runs the color blend: toning the extension hair and your roots until the two read as one color. She works with straight, wavy and curly hair, speaks English and works Tuesday to Friday.
Stylist, tape-in and removals
Hyunsoo places tape-in extensions, does their move-ups, and takes out any method when it is time. He speaks English and Korean and works Thursday to Saturday.
Tell us the length you want and the color you have now. We will say which method suits and where the move-ups fall.
