Luxury K-Tip specialist. Educator. Founder of five brands โ and the builder of every website and system behind them, with no technical background.
By the Numbers ๐
The record, so far
Pulled straight from platform analytics โ current as of August 2026.
The Craft ๐
The work that built the name
One specialty, done at the highest level: K-Tip extensions.
๐Luxury K-Tip installs
One price โ all inclusive. The hair, the install, custom cut, layering, custom extension color, and 24/7 access to a private K-Tip Concierge. K-Tips can last 4 to 6 months.
๐ธThe clients told "no" elsewhere
Alopecia. Fine or thinning hair. Natural and 4C textures. Relaxed hair. Grey hair. The women who believed extensions weren't for them โ proven wrong, seamlessly.
๐Travel K-Tips
All-inclusive installs on location โ $10,000 domestic, $15,000 international. The chair comes to the client.
๐The concierge experience
Every client receives her own private K-Tip Concierge โ routine, styling, tools, and product guidance, available around the clock.
"No K-Tip install has visible K-Tips โ even when the wind is blowing."
