About

Welsy Mourino owns the salon, which opened in May 2022 after about a year of preparing the space. It is located on West Cary Street in Richmond and centers on extensions and hair restoration. The salon describes itself as a haven for hair extensions and a sanctuary for people seeking hair loss solutions, and states a goal of becoming one of the nation's leading hair restoration and luxury extension salons.

Color is a large part of the menu. Sessions use freehand painting, traditional and American balayage, and several foiling methods, often combined for a multi-tonal result. A mini highlight or balayage starts at $90.50, a partial at $160.50 and a full at $250. All-over color starts at $180, root touch-ups at $170 and mini root touch-ups at $60, and a color home care kit starts at $50. Platinum blonde starts at $310 and can take three to eight hours. Color removal is $110 and takes about an hour.

Extension methods include I-tips, K-tips, V-light, tape-in and three beaded row techniques, along with halo extensions and clip-ins for daytime wear that come out at night. K-tip, I-tip and tape installs include scalp and hair treatments, washing, a blow dry and styling. The beaded row package bundles a personalized color session, color matching, scalp and hair treatments, the application, a haircut and a styling follow-up within two weeks; the extension hair itself is priced separately. Mesh integration and hair restoration is a custom-fit service for significant hair loss, starting at $210 and running two to eight hours, with pricing that depends on need.

Other services include haircuts from $30, blowouts from $80, treatments from $15, esthetician services from $45, special event and bridal services from $60, lash lifts with tints, brow lamination, henna brow stains and brow tinting. Blowout subscriptions are $210 for three a month or $280 for four, including 20% off retail and treatments. Hours are Monday to Wednesday and Friday 10am to 7pm and Saturday 10am to 3pm, with Thursdays closed for team training and Sundays by appointment only.

Several services begin with a consultation for curly hair, extensions or scalp concerns, and treatments are tailored to the individual client.

The salon describes its atmosphere as zen and welcoming.
