You've been working with all types of hair extensions and educating other hair stylists in Toronto for over 17 years. Why did you choose to work exclusively with Great Lengths in your salon, Love’s In The Hair? My decision to work exclusively with Great Lengths is nothing short of a dream realized. My journey with hair extensions began when I received my first set as a fashion and beauty editor. Unable to afford regular upkeep, I took matters into my own hands and even published a national article praising Great Lengths for their excellence. Great Lengths not only ignited my passion but also inspired me to build a prosperous business model around hair extensions. Another crucial factor in my exclusive partnership is my commitment to ethical companies that value their employees and prioritize ethical practices from start to finish. What is your best trade secret from your years of working with hair extensions and owning your own salon in Toronto? One trade secret I've learned over the years is the importance of personalized consultations. Understanding the unique needs and desires of each client is the key to delivering exceptional results with hair extensions. Building strong client relationships and effective communication are the foundation of success in this industry. What Great Lengths installation method is your current favourite and why? At the moment, my favourite Great Lengths installation method is Cold Fusion Flat bonds. I love that it allows me to achieve the same effect as tape-ins or wefts while providing excellent coverage due to the bond fanning out. Additionally, the Ultrasonic Machine can also create rolled bonds. I prefer this method because, unlike using a heating element, the keratin doesn't spread out as much, resulting in a cleaner bond and stunning results. We are so happy and proud to have you as one of our newest Great Lengths Canada Educators! What are you most excited to bring to your students across Canada when they join your seminars?

Fall 2021 Trends are here – so grab your PSL, throw on a chunky sweater and let’s see what’s coming down the runway! FIVE HAIR TRENDS WE LOVE FOR THIS FALL SEASON Zig Zag Parts Hello? Is that 2001 calling? Yes. She’s here and ready to put an end to the Millennials vs Gen-Z hair part debate once and for all. We’re reviving this classic which adds texture and volume at the root. Spotted on the most A-list of celebrities, the Zig Zag part is an easy and chic way to glam up your daily look. How to? When your hair is freshly washed, simply draw a zig zag line down your part pushing some hair to the left and some to the right as you move towards the back of the head. This can be done with your finger or the tail-end of a styling comb. This look is not only GL extension friendly, it’s encouraged. So whether you were team “Side Part” or team “Middle Part” before, I think we can all agree that we are ALL team Zig Zag Part now. *Julianne Hough sporting a Zig Zag Part Low Pony Tails You know its Fall when you start your day with your hair down and as the temperature rises throughout the day the hair inevitably ends up in a low pony. Why the mid-day change? We say, start the day with the look and commit, girl. This look is seen on the runways and on the red carpets in a variety of styles; from straight and sleek, to wavy and intricately embellished. The secret to an easy, elegant low pony is to hide the hair tie with a strand of hair, or better yet – add a chunky scrunchy and you’re set! We love bling and extremes, but sometimes simplicity is simply perfect. Our favorite thing: low maintenance hair that looks like high maintenance hair. * Kim Kardashian West sporting a low, sleek pony. Sombres and Low Lights Darker, more shadowy tones are making an Autumn comeback! These colours are always popular but we notice a major trend in our light blonde clients making a moodier choice for fall by adding some Sombre or low lights to their regular shade mix. The secret? Our Two-Tone Pre-Blended Shades have done the guessing work for you. Our most popular fall shades are proving to be 66 on 08, 63 on 61 and 03 on 05. Have you tried them yet? *Pre-Blended Two Tones worn by Natalie Sexton from @natalie_sexton_ Blunt Bobs This versatile cut has little to no layers; hits just below the chin and provides enough volume to wow a crowd. It’s a good cut for anyone going short for the first time, or for someone who needs to let go of long, damaged hair. Lacking volume? Extensions can correct this, by filling in the gaps in the finer areas and creating thick, beautiful, healthy-looking hair - all necessary ingredients of the perfect GL bob. * Katy Perry wears a blunt icy blond bob Curtain Bangs This face-framing fringe, better known as a curtain bang, is a glamourous and eye catching trend you just can’t miss! The soft and flirty look, which can be done with a variety of lengths of hair, is extremely versatile and easy to maintain. The best part? Very little upkeep! No more running to the salon every 3 weeks because you can’t see in front of you. You can get your curtain bangs trimmed up at the same rate you get your GL extensions re-installed! That is a win-win. *Priyanka Chopra shows off her sultry curtain bangs
