About

Bend & Bond is the extension business of Rya the Hairbender, who works from House of Ivy at 699 East Broadway in Boston. The work centers on K-Tips, which are individual strands of protein bonded to natural hair with heat and suited to fine hair, and on sew-in wefts, which are rows of hair sewn into a beaded foundation for adding volume and length. Dimensional color is offered alongside the extension work.

Every new client has a consultation before booking, either in person or online. The consultation is where the install is planned around the client's lifestyle. Each install includes precision blending and shaping, styling and aftercare education, and a personalized maintenance plan. Clients can choose between a premium hair option and a budget-friendly one, and hair is purchased separately, with cost varying by brand, length, grams and color match. Hair for fine hair or light volume is typically $250 to $450, fullness with some length is typically $450 to $700, and maximum length or density can run from $700 to $1,000 or more.

Extensions can be curled, straightened and blow-dried like natural hair, and they can be colored, with regular glosses recommended to keep tone and shine. Repeat clients can book maintenance online, including weft refreshes, blowouts and color services. Complimentary custom color matching is included for first-time clients. The business describes its installs as luxury.

Parking is on the street. Buy Now, Pay Later is available for bookings from $50 to $4,000 and requires approval before the appointment. All services and pricing are subject to change.

Rya focuses on the health of clients' natural hair and on comfort throughout the process, customizing each install to the client's lifestyle and teaching clients how to maintain their results.
