Celebrity Extensions La Quinta

Celebrity Extensions has two salons: one in Fishermen's Village in Marina Del Rey, about two miles north of LAX, with an ocean view, and one in Old Town La Quinta, with a view of the desert mountains. The business is owned by Jennifer Jeanné and serves clients in Los Angeles, Palm Desert, Indian Wells, Rancho Mirage, Palm Springs and the wider Coachella Valley. The salon describes itself as a luxury hair extension salon, and it says it has been rated the best hair extension salon in Los Angeles and voted the number one hair extensions salon in the city for over 25 years. It also says it has been featured by the Susan G. Komen Foundation and other organizations for the quality of its work. The menu covers Keratin Micro Mini Bonds, Celebrity Tracks, Invisible Bead Tracks and the Quick Clip. Keratin bonds are priced per two bundles: 14 and 18 inches are $680, and 22 inches is $740, with most clients needing four to five bundles at 14 inches, six to seven at 18 inches and seven to eight at 22 inches. Keratin bond removal is $125 to $150 and is for current clients. Celebrity Tracks, a paper-thin reusable track for finer hair, is $1,750 for 18 inches and $1,950 for 22 inches per set, and Invisible Bead Tracks, reusable wefts for thicker or fine hair, are $1,550 to $1,950 per set depending on length and whether they are placed in two rows or full head. Both track systems include the hair, labor and cuts. A raise costs $100 and a removal with reapplication costs $675, for current clients only. The Quick Clip is a one-piece clip-in extension at 18 inches for $675. Prices may change with supply and demand. A visit starts with a $25 pre-paid consultation, which is non-refundable. In-person consultations are recommended, and online consultations are offered to clients out of state or out of the country. A consultation gives an estimate only, and the salon will say ahead of time if more hair may be needed. Discounts apply only on specials. Clients who arrive more than ten minutes late are rescheduled and charged a $100 fee. All hair is final sale once it leaves the salon. Tape-in extensions are not offered. Prices include the hair, labor, cuts, blending and a Hair Extensions 101 care session. Hair is matched to each client's texture and is sourced from several regions, including Ukraine, Brazil, Malaysia, India, Asia and Italy. The owner describes the hair as 100% pure human remy and hand-picks it. Strand by Strand pieces are one gram each, and Hairdreams are available on request.

Works with clients the way it would with family, placing care and results ahead of discounts. The business advises clients to research extensionists carefully and to avoid separation clips, tape-ins and metal micro-link beads, which it says can damage hair.

The salon describes its feel as fun, energetic and comfortable, a relaxed space, with ocean views in Marina Del Rey and desert mountain views in La Quinta.
