About
My name is Maria Albano Here at Extensionist, it is my personal and professional goal to help you achieve your hair dreams. Whether you want extensions for volume and fullness or in length, or if you want any type of braid with or without extensions, look no further! I am a specialist in my profession for any challenge that you would love to see come to life or replicate. My hair journey has been a true blessing and I'm here to tell you it's far from over. My interest in hair began long long ago when Jamaican dancehall rapper and singer, Sean Paul, would show up on my television screen on MTV morning music videos, while getting ready for school. I would move and groove to his music and admire all those braid styles he would rock. Immediately my mind was fascinated with those small detailed cornrows. I quite literally grabbed my sister by the hair and forced her to be my mannequin. Over the years my skill set increased significantly as I took several braiding classes by Stasha Harris (Magic Fingers). I got my license in 2014 and at that time I started to assist Michelle Cleveland Extension EXPERT and owner of Hair Addict Salon. My first day with Michelle is the day my love for hair extensions came along! After a year of apprenticing and practicing precision techniques with Michelle, I built an entire clientele achieving everyone’s personal goals every single appointment they have in my chair. Because of this, I'm proud to announce that it has led me to this point where I am as business owner here at Sola Salon, where I have customized my studio to make you feel bright, happy, and at home! The level of deep gratitude I have for my existing clients exceeds any expectations I had going into this field and I would like to thank each and every one for their continued support and loyalty! Without the consistent love, opportunity, patience, knowledge, and reassurance from my dear friend and role model, Michelle, I'm not too sure where I would be today. With that being said WELCOME and thank you for choosing ME. FAQ : Q: What methods do you use? A: The two extension application methods I use are I-Tips (which require copper locs) And Tape in extensions. Q: How much are the extensions? Can’t I just get a price really quick? But can you just give me a round about? A: As this service is not a cookie cutter service one size fits all, it’s difficult to determine a price without a proper consultation. During the consultation we will discuss the length you would like the hair. I will ask you about your daily routine and we will come up with a system that is suitable for your routine and you’re needs. The length of the hair matched up with the length of your natural hair will typically help determine the density we will need for the application. I will also be doing a color matching, this may also assist in price adjustments (I.e. if you have a rooted color, a blended color, one solid color, or a special order) once all this is determined I will be giving you the price of the hair, the price of my installation, and the price of the extension maintenance. Q: If the consultation is $61 how much will the extensions be? A: The $61 is a fee for the consultation. This fee is NON-REFUNDABLE. The fee is for my time and experience on this topic, this appointment usually runs about an hour, however I will take the time we need to answer all of your questions before you leave. If you chose to purchase a system I will deduct that $61 from your total purchase balance. I would also love to express that this is a luxury service, it doesn’t just end at the consultation. We also have to consider the installation and then your 8-10 week regular maintenances that are required to maintain and upkeep your investment. Depending on your hair goals this may be something you chose to invest in for 1 year or possibly 5 years. That’s why I want to be totally transparent in saying that this is a luxury service, and it’s for you to decide if this fits in your budget. Q: Do you have any appointments this weekend for extensions? I just want to get them done really quick? A: In my years of being in the service industry, I’m proud to say what I offer is not something that is quick or can be rushed. This service is something that requires me to take my time to build the perfect crown for you! On average the installation takes me about 3-5 hours depending on the complexity of the style. And with your extension maintenance it will take me about 2-3 hours. If you have a lot of hair and it takes me over 3 hours there will be an additional fee for the extra time. In addition to the length of the service, I’m also proud to share that I do have a full book, it is in my best interest to accommodate all of my existing clients to the best of my ability, welcome and accommodate all new clients the best I can and balance and regenerate my personal life as well. Typically I do not have appointments in the same week as the request. With that being said I do my best to accommodate everyone’s needs. To add to that statement, I do have hair extensions in stock. The hair that I order does come from russia. If the color you want isn’t in stock the orders can take anywhere from 4-6 weeks between processing the order and delivery. There are no guarantees when it comes to how quickly and order will be here. Again I do keep hair in stock and if I have it available I will book your appointment as soon as my schedule will allow.
