About Me
Ingrid "Shontae"

At the age of 15, I became fascinated with hair extensions. I found it impossible to believe that everyone in the entertainment industry had such perfect hair. For years, I glued extensions in trying to achieve what I saw on tv. This resulted in serious damage to my natural hair. Later, I discovered the sew in method. It allowed me to nurse my natural hair back to health and lasted much longer than bonding.
Cosmetology school taught me hair basics but nothing about my true passion "hair extensions". I soon realized that getting a license wasn't going to miraculously turn me into the hair extension specialist that I am today. For many years I studied different techniques only to return to the sew in method time and time again. I found this to be the healthiest form of extending my hair. Over the years, I have perfected my sew in technique. Show me a picture and I can duplicate any style your heart desires. Want hair like Kim Kardashian? I've got it! Ever dreamed of having that swoop bang with celebrity curls like Meagan Good? It's yours! What about kinky curls like Joan from Girlfriends? It's achievable! Is your hair really thin yet you dream of long thick locs like Hillary Duff or Lindsey Lohan? Oh yes, you really need to come and see me!
There are no real celebrity secrets. It's all out in the open now...we've found out about lace wigs, false lashes, makeup contouring, and Botox.Yes, Beyonce has more money than most of us, but her stylist is the one who transforms her into what we see on award night. Every woman is beautiful in her own way, but there is something about the extras that can turn a pretty woman into a:
