Welcome, I’m Stefanie! I specialize in healthy & natural looking hair extensions, low maintenance color, and custom hairpieces.


I’ve been doing hair for over 10 years and I can confidently say that your best hair is the hair that feels natural to you, fits your lifestyle, and is actually something you can maintain. I love creating hair that looks amazing and doesn’t require you to live at the salon to keep it that way (cause who’s got the time?!).


My extension installs are centered around comfort, scalp health, and making your extensions look and feel like your own hair. I custom color every weft to match your hair, because your extensions should never look like they were just taken out of a box and put on your head. You deserve better than that!


Whether you want a subtle glow in your color, a total transformation, or just need a little gray coverage, I got you covered. I will always be realistic and upfront about achieving the color you want and maintaining it so there are no surprises down the road.


I also offer custom toppers for women dealing with thinning, hair loss, or just wanting a little more volume up top. Each piece is fully personalized from color to cut, so it blends like it was always yours.


You can find me at The Hair Collaborative in Frankfort, IL, a space that’s elevated yet laid back. If you’re ready for hair that feels like you and fits into your actual life, I’m your gal!

THE SALON EXPERIENCE


Listen, I know hair appointments can be lengthy and mundane. I want you to actually enjoy being here. That means good music, good vibes, and absolutely no requirement to entertain me or make small talk for hours.


I promise I won’t talk your ear off like your mom’s hairdresser who has been doing her color since before you were born.. unless you want me to. In that case, you can call me Linda. But seriously, feel free to just drink your coffee, work on your laptop, order some DoorDash, scroll TikTok, or just zone out while I do my thing!


At the salon, you can expect:


• Free parking

• Private, secure location with a security code

• Free WiFi

• Complimentary coffee, drinks & snacks

• Chargers available

• A bangin’ playlist

• Immaculate vibes

• A big but cozy salon

• A fun, welcoming team


Basically: come hang out, get your hair done, and make yourself at home.
