NEW Hair Extentions Have Arrived at Julia Grace!

We are so excited to introduce our newest service at the salon! A Hair Extension service that offers the finest and highest quality of 100% human hair extensions.

In a one-stop service you will get all your hair extension needs. Whether you're looking for VOLUME, LENGTH, or even a pretty HIGHLIGHT COLOR we have the style and method you need, when you need it.

Our new extensions are quick and easy to apply, as well as extremely natural looking. There is NO need for heat, glue, or any type of chemicals. The extension is held in place by an aluminum bead that is threaded on the inside, which secures the extension without damaging the natural hair. This method will last 3-4 months depending on clients hair growth. Hair can also be reused!

These extensions do come in packages. An average head will use 3-4 packages. An advantage to this is being able to add hair in the places you need it. Hair extensions aren't just for length! An example is some clients have difficulty growing hair around the front/bang area. One package of these extensions can solve that problem immediately!


Call in to schedule a free 15 minute consultation for price information and color matching. We have a color swatch in the salon with a wide variety to match to you.
(608) 833-8454

Prices range from $150-$600 depending on what you are looking to have done. Filling in sides/bang area, color highlights/lowlights and adding volume are different than adding a full head for length. Hair is sold by packages. An average head may require 4-5 packages for a full extension application. This is why a consultation is mandatory

Tips For Choosing The Right Flat Iron

  1. First, consider power and heat. If your flat iron lacks either, you're going to regret buying your new hair tool sooner rather than later. Temperature is vital when it comes to using a flat iron to straighten wavy hair. It's even more important when it comes to super curly hair. The curlier your hair the higher the temperature you may need to get smooth results. Therefore, we recommend a flat iron with a variable heat setting between 140 F (for fine hair or touch ups) and upwards of 410 F (for thick hair or quick straightening).

  2. Make sure the flat iron's plates are ceramic. They heat up better and more evenly for smoother, healthier looking hair without hot spots that cause heat damage.

  3. For those with super stubborn hair, try splurging on a flat iron that has both ceramic and tourmaline technology. The added tourmaline will emit negative ions which leave hair super silky and soft.

  4. If you have short hair, be sure to buy a straightening iron with slimmer plates for more precise styling. Plates ranging from ½ to 1 inch will make it easier to capture smaller sections of short hair. Alternately, those with longer hair should purchase a flat iron with plates between 1 3/8 to 2 inches wide so you can straighten larger sections of hair at a time. This will cut down on styling time.

  5. Weight is another factor to consider. For those with short hair, your straightening time will likely be shorter. Therefore, a heavier iron will not be a burden. If you have long hair or especially long and thick hair, however, you'll want to purchase the lightest iron possible to cut down on wrist and arm strain. Look for a model around 1 ½ lbs.

High Brow

If the eyes are the window to the soul, then the brows are the welcome mat. This season, bigger, bolder arches like those worn by red carpet regulars Penelope Cruz and Diane Kruger are garnering all the attention. A growth-stimulating serum like LiLash, which strengthens and conditions brows, can help women achieve fuller brows, but the shape is equally important, They tend to weight the eye down if they're too heavy and not arched properly. Finally, we recommend using a brow powder or pencil to fill in the hair for a more dramatic look.

::TREND ALERT::

:: Trend Alert ::



Can't decide if you want to go dark or stay light for the fall? Well you can have both with the fall trend of having a darker base melting into a lighter color. We see this look everywhere, especially on celebrities and are happy to have learned the best technique to achieve it. Although it looks like natural outgrowth, it's actually a special technique used by stylists to mimic the outgrowth look with richer, warmer colors.




Stylists at Julia Grace Salon attended the Salon Centric Hair Show in Lake Geneva and were taught this technique by Wendy, the Creative Director of Pureology.
She currently has her hair colored this way and we absolutely loved it!
