Welcome to ALT.ered beauty, a unique full service, concierge hair salon. After working behind the chair for a number of years at one of D.C.'s top salons, I came to the realization that my clients needed a different kind of hairstylist; one that caters to them, on their schedule understanding the needs of today's busy women. Alt.ered Beauty was born.
Hi! My name is Alexis Lee Tilton, founder and Chief Stylist at ALT.ered Beauty. I am a licensed hair stylist and certified hair extension specialist. I specialize in the latest & most progressive hair trends including cuts, color, smoothing treatments, up-do's, and hair extensions.
I realized early on in my career that my true passion for hair lied in hair extensions. They are the perfect way to change your hair from short, thin, and lifeless to voluminous, silky, and alluring...instantly! After years of studying the trade and learning about the many types, installation processes, and manufacturing of all variations of extensions I most recently launched my own line called Lexi Locks. Lexi Locks Hair Extensions are made with 100% Remy Human Hair and offers 3 different extension methods:
** Fusion-Locks extensions are fused with special, keratin bonds that create a long-lasting, natural hold. Fusion-Locks is a strand-by-strand method that is attached to the hair with a keratin bond the same keratin that your hair is made of. Each strand is individually attached for 360 degree movement and the ultimate in styling potential. This method lasts up to 6 months with proper care and maintenance and can be re-used 1-2 times. Simply remove the bonds and use Lexi Locks rebonds to reapply. Fusion-Locks are made in a variety of colors with 18"or 22" strands. Each package contains 100 Flat keratin-tip strands.
**Link-Locks is our strand-by-strand method that is attached to the hair with a micro bead to securely hold each extension strand in place. You may wear it up or down, as the beads are easy to hide. This amazing method has absolutely no chemicals, no glue, and no heat. Link-Locks can be reused 2-3 times with proper care and maintenance. Link-Locks are made in a variety of colors with 18"or 22" strands. Each package contains 100 keratin-tip strands.
**Lexi Locks tape-in extensions are a semi-permanent hair extension method that last 8-12 weeks and are reusable for up to 3 applications. Tape-in extensions are thin hair wefts, pre-taped, that get bonded in between your own hair and are bonded together like "sandwich" bonds. This extension method is 100% natural, requires no tools or chemicals, and takes about an hour or less to apply. Lexi Locks tape-in's are made in a variety of colors with 18"or 22" wefts. Each package contains 40 wefts.
