Candela Hair Studio

Candela Hair Studio is a salon in Andover, Massachusetts, offering hair color and hand-tied beaded row extensions. Services are tailored to each guest.

Extension work starts with a complimentary consultation to talk through the client's goal. The plan is built around the number of rows, the color and a custom cut. Each weft is custom colored to match the client's own hair. The service covers hand-tied or genius wefts in the chosen length, row placement, a custom haircut, a blowout and styling, plus a home hair kit and a maintenance plan.

New guests who want a color service fill out a new guest color form to book a consultation. The salon says it responds to new guest request forms within 48 hours.

The studio also rents fully furnished styling stations to independent hairstylists on a month-to-month basis, with longer-term options. Rentals include high-speed WiFi and on-site tool storage, with backbar products available as an option. A client waiting area is provided, and renters have 24/7 access to the studio. Renters need a valid Massachusetts cosmetology license and their own tools. Rates depend on full-time or part-time availability and are given on request. Prospective renters can book a tour by emailing hello@candelahairstudio.com. Parking is available at the studio.

Extensions are hand-tied wefts sewn into rows with a bead and string technique. The salon says the method uses no glue or tape and therefore causes no damage, and it describes its philosophy as tailoring each guest's experience and valuing quality over quantity.
