Why Extensions, Why Now?
Extensions are a growing and vibrant market segment, gaining popularity and demand across client and salon demographics.
According to recent research from MODERN SALON for its 2017 HAIR+ program and event (hairplussumit.com), more consumers are seeking extensions for fashion, color and length, as well as to build volume and solve thinning hair issues. Plus, 71% of salon professionals who offer extensions currently see business growing in the next year, and 57% see extensions as more profitable than other services they offer.
Limited Production Preserves Quality
One of the newest and innovative brands to join the professional category is Luxia Artiss Paris, delivering hand-selected and artisanally crafted hair extensions to premier artists who want to offer the crème de la crème in beauty experiences to their clients.
The line launched in Paris in 2016 and is now available in the U.S. The company has announced it is currently seeking select, premium salons and influencers to join its limited boutique collection of Luxia Artiss extensions providers.
One of many benefits Luxia Artiss offers salons is a comprehensive and focused concierge approach to education and support, with a dedicated brand ambassador assigned to each salon that qualifies to carry the line and purchases an introductory package.
What Sets Luxia Artiss Apart?
According to Luxia Artiss Executive Brand Ambassador Ricardo Arias, it’s the hair itself that makes the difference and offers salons a unique opportunity and position.
“We carefully source and handcraft the virgin, unprocessed hair from European countries. There is not an endless supply—it’s rare—and that’s why we’re so selective. We’re not trying to be in every salon, instead we are striving to give the best extensions of the best quality hair to the very best salons.”
To deliver on the promise of healthy and top-performing hair, Luxia Artiss also employs the double drawn technique, a rare practice used only by a few masters in the extensions production craft, and a critical part of the company’s 38-step, quality control production process. European double drawn hair is sought-after for its unique and unmatched quality. Shorter hairs are pulled out by hand, which increases the uniformity of the hair extensions, and provides a fuller appearance. The hair will be very thick, right to the tip; and that sought-after full-bodied look will be easily achieved.
While the focus of Luxia Artiss extensions is on quality, the flexibility and range of the collection and its accessories gives those “best” salons and stylists everything they need to satisfy the most particular clients.
