Silk + Soul Beauty

Silk + Soul Beauty is located on South Fairfax Avenue in Los Angeles, and the business describes itself as a premium beauty brand. Clients reach the location through the parking garage on Fairfax. The in-person work centers on hair extensions, including sew-in and clip-in installs, extension styling, protective styles and weave installs, along with silk presses and silk smoothing treatments.

The business also sells a line of haircare that it describes as clean and high-performance, made with nourishing ingredients and ethical sourcing in mind. The products are intended to address heat damage, breakage, limited time for hair routines and the sense of having too many products to choose from. Sets such as the Silk + Cleanse wash system are built to prepare hair for a silk press.

Before a visit, clients are asked to arrive with hair detangled and free of heavy oils or excessive buildup. Extensions or braids should be fully removed beforehand unless the appointment was booked otherwise. Extension packages, maintenance appointments and prep appointments can be booked online, and new clients can begin with a category chosen on the booking page.

According to the business, a properly done silk press should not damage healthy natural hair and typically lasts one to three weeks, depending on lifestyle, upkeep and humidity. To help it last longer, the business recommends wrapping hair at night and sleeping on a satin pillowcase.

The business says its formulas are made with clean, nourishing ingredients and that it is committed to ethical sourcing.
