Enchānt Extension Studios

Enchānt Extension Studios operates under the legal name Sarah Ariel Stylist, LLC. The studio was founded by Sarah Goode after she had worked at several salons across Southern California, and it sits in the hills above the coast in Laguna Beach.

Each appointment takes place in a private studio suite, so every client has a room to themselves. The studio says it is the only private studio suite setup built specifically for extension specialists in Southern California, a claim the studio makes about itself. Large windows fill the suites with light and look out over Laguna Beach. Clients can unwind during a visit or use the time to get work done on a laptop.

Extensions are the main focus. They are installed with hand-tied methods, and the stylists say they are certified in a range of luxury hand-tied techniques. Color and cutting are also offered. Color work includes dimensional color, lived-in color, grey blending, a quiet luxury beach blonde, and color correction. Cuts include shags, curtain bangs and long textured layers, and clients can bring a photo or idea for a custom style. Every service is tailored to the individual client.

Practical details: bookings are made through the Stylists page of the website, and clients can text the studio at (847) 312-3723. Clients need to arrange childcare before appointments, and no one under 12 may be in the studio. Smoking and vaping are not allowed in the studio spaces. The studio does not offer perms, does not use formaldehyde, and does not add artificial room scents. Stylists give recommended hair care products to help maintain extensions and overall hair health, and questions about further policies go to the individual stylist.

The salon says healthy hair and scalp come first, and every appointment is customized, from the experience to the technology and artistry used.

Each suite is private and lit by large windows overlooking Laguna Beach.
