Each appointment begins with an in-depth consultation focused on your vision, lifestyle, and at-home routine. Through a thoughtful assessment of texture, movement, and facial structure, our stylists design a cut that feels both intentional and effortless. Using advanced cutting techniques and a modern design perspective, every detail is executed with precision—resulting in a look that is timeless, wearable, and distinctly yours.
For those seeking added length, volume, or fullness, hair extensions offer a seamless way to transform the look and feel of your hair. At Fringe, extensions are approached as a tailored enhancement — designed to elevate your natural beauty while preserving the integrity of your hair.
We work exclusively with high-quality, ethically sourced tape-in extensions chosen for their comfort, longevity, and natural movement. Easy to maintain and available in a range of colors and textures, these extensions are carefully selected and placed to blend effortlessly with your natural hair.
Every extensions experience begins with a complimentary consultation, allowing our team to thoughtfully design a customized plan aligned with your hair goals, lifestyle, and desired outcome. The result is hair that feels fuller, longer, and undeniably yours.
At Fringe, our colorists offer a complete range of sophisticated, contemporary color services — from low-maintenance balayage and ombré to expertly executed double-process blondes and highlights across the full blonde spectrum.
Whether you seek subtle dimension, bold platinum, vibrant fantasy hues, or seamless grey coverage, our colorists combine precision, creativity, and advanced training to craft a result tailored uniquely to you. Every service begins with a thoughtful consultation, ensuring your color complements your style and lifestyle.
