"We’ve been doing extensions for at least 12 years,” said John Mangiameli, founder of Creative Hair Design Salon & Spa. Demand has increased rapidly among clients of all ages, and eight staff members specialize in extensions.
Reasons for choosing extensions include adding length and volume as well as addressing hair loss caused by medical conditions or head trauma. The salon offers tape-in, sewn-in, bonded, and halo options. Depending on the type of extension chosen, they last three to five months.
“During the initial consultation, we go through all the details, including the best type to use, maintenance, care, and cost. Then the client signs a contract and decides on hair type and length,” Mangiameli explained.
Creative Hair Design Salon & Spa keeps up with the latest styling techniques by bringing in guest artists and sending staff members to out-of-town events. Younger employees attend weekly classes taught by experienced designers.
Since the salon opened in 1981, it has grown from three employees to 85. Locally owned and operated, it has received top rankings from readers of Omaha Magazine and the Omaha World-Herald.
