Tiffany vogelpohl

Starting The Collective ATX in 2017, She has been slaying hair since 1998. After years of searching for the best extension available, she brought Natural Beaded Rows Hand Tied Extensions to the Austin and the South Texas area.

Her extension journey has spanned decades where she learned about what to look for in a great reliable extension method. After 10 years of applying Great Length extensions, She needed to find a new method because they took 8+ hours to install, with non reusable hair as well as caused extreme matting and breakage to the hair. Tiffany then found Dreamcatchers extensions that solved some problems but would slip out of the hair too easily. After 8 years of battling with Dreamcatchers she continued her journey, deciding to give tape-in extensions a shot. However after just 2 years of unsatisfactory experiences she discovered NBR. She fell in love with NBR which has now become primary focus behind the chair.

The confidence the right extensions, color and cut give her clients makes her sure the journey has been worth it. When you are ready to have the hair you have only dreamed about book a consultation with Tiffany.

Bookings available for NBR extensions.
