Recently, Los Angeles’ Nine Zero One Salon swirled with excitement as the salon owners and celebrity hairstylists, Nikki Lee and Riawna Capri, hosted an unforgettable masterclass with luxury hair extension brand, Great Lengths. With an undeniably dynamic partnership and playful energy, Lee and Capri used the masterclass to expertly demonstrate the balance between fun and professionalism that has propelled them to become among the most respected in a cutthroat industry.
The class featured four live hair transformation demos on their models as they showcased their exceptional skills while offering insightful professional tips. Attendees were captivated by the power duo’s engaging approach, which blended their innate humor and creativity with practical application, cutting, and business-building advice. Throughout the masterclass, Lee and Capri addressed crucial topics such as enhancing stylist-to-client communication, maintaining individuality in hair styling, and maximizing time and efficiency during hair sessions. A standout moment was their pro tips on pre-blending extensions, a skill that promises to elevate any stylist’s hair extension application technique once mastered.
The masterclass also included an interactive Q&A session, allowing attendees to tap into the wealth of knowledge from these industry leaders. Following the educational segment of the event, guests enjoyed a vibrant cocktail hour, complete with goodie bags filled with haircare products to further enhance the luxury experience.
In an exclusive reveal, Great Lengths’ USA educator, Nanci Lee Randolph, took the stage to unveil the brand’s next generation of tape in hair extensions, called the Essenza and Aria, which are available in over 50 shades and lengths from 12 to 24 inches. The extensions are designed with a nearly invisible tape that lays flat, ensuring comfort and durability. Natural cut ends, a slightly taller adhesive to ensure maximum surface-area hold, and competitive pricing from other brands’ tape-ins make the Essenza and Aria a pioneering product in the hair industry.
As a B Corp certified company, Great Lengths prioritizes ethical sourcing, making these extensions not only luxurious but responsible. Ethical, luxurious, affordable, and innovative, Great Lengths has been Lee and Capri’s go-to brand for hair extensions for two decades and is clear that in addition to the duo’s talent, sparkling personalities, and true passion, the thoughtful intention behind their choice of products also plays a role in their renowned success.
