Madeleine Johnson

Madeleine Johnson focuses entirely on hair extensions and has worked only in that area for ten years, according to the website. The business offers two methods, microbead and keratin, and specializes in microbead.

Two strand-based methods are offered. Microbead places single i-tip pieces close to the scalp and secures each one with a tiny bead, using neither heat nor adhesive. At every move-up appointment the existing hair is kept and refitted rather than swapped out. Keratin attaches single strands with a keratin compound that is softened with a heated tool, and the hair used this way is discarded after removal rather than reused. Both options use premium Slavic hair, selected to match each client's shade and texture.

Every booking starts with a consultation before any hair is ordered. The consultation settles the method, the amount of hair and whether the client's hair is ready for extensions. If it is not, for example during recovery, when the attachment points are too fine, or after a chemical service, installs are declined and a plan and date are offered instead.

Installs take between forty-five minutes and three hours, depending on how much hair is added. The hairline is left out so clients can still wear their hair up. Move-ups are usually booked every two to four months. Extensions can be colored, but the business does not color hair and works alongside the client's own colorist. Clients are advised to shampoo at the fingertips without washing overhead and to condition only the mid-lengths and ends.

Appointments are housecalls across Boca Raton and surrounding Palm Beach County. Delray Beach is served the same way, with installs and move-ups as housecalls after a consultation. Delray Beach is about fifteen minutes from Boca Raton.

Work is planned around each client's hair condition, with a consultation before anything is ordered and installs declined when hair is not ready.
