Feather Extensions Flock to Johns Creek

In March I attended the International Beauty Show in New York City. It was there I fell in love. Not with a tattooed stylist to the stars but with FEATHERS. Tons of feathers: fluffy, skinny and in every color imaginable. Feather extensions are the hottest trend right now and I'm obsessed! While at the hair show, I had some feathers bonded into my locks. I must admit I instantly felt cooler.

The week after the addition of my avian strands I traveled to Austin, TX, to attend a week long music festival called South by Southwest (SXSW). Austin is the mecca of the painfully hip on a normal day and SXSW takes it to an international level. Everywhere you look in the capital city there are beautiful, trendy people and the majority of them were rocking feathers. It felt awesome to be a member of the “it” crowd.

I was listening to NPR recently and heard a report on how fishermen were up in arms because they were having to pay hundreds of dollars online to purchase fishing lures because of a trend sweeping the nation.

The story continued to say that the feather lures were being purchased by women to use as extensions. My mind was blown! Ladies and gentlemen, there is no need to resort to these measures. The trend is alive and well right here in Johns Creek at Muse Salon and Spa and you don't have to anger any fishing buffs in the process.

Having your tresses peacocked is a quick and easy process. These are actual high-quality feathers that are bonded into the hair with a silicone bead and will stay in for up to 8 weeks. They can be washed, blown dry, curled, and flat ironed. The feathers themselves can be used over and over again without losing their color or shine. If your inner hipster is screaming for attention feather extensions are an inexpensive way to unleash it.
