What hair extension methods does Lauren Constance specialize in?
Due to the extremely tiny size of my studio I need to limit the amount of extra people. I don't necessarily encourage bringing children since they will be close to chemicals and it can pose a hazard. If your child is able to sit and wait patiently with something to occupy them then I don't mind a guest bringing them for short appointments. For blonding sessions I do not suggest it since those sessions are 3 -6 hours.
