“I’m OBSESSED with Garnish!!! They’ve been taking amazing care of my hair for 3 years and I have never been so happy with my hair!!! She is kind, professional with the gentlest touch. The entire vibe at Garnish is fabulous and fun. This is more than a hair/extension salon…you become part of the family. Best. Salon. Ever.”
The only thing I regret is not doing this sooner.After years of struggling with extremely fine hair, my confidence was at an all-time low. A friend (whose extensions I never noticed!) recommended Garnish, and it changed everything. Candice and the team made the experience seamless — professional, welcoming, and so supportive. Natural Beaded Rows gave me the fullness I always wanted without damaging my hair. Six months in, my hair is healthier, styling is effortless, and I feel confident in every environment. Garnish truly delivers life-changing transformations for fine and thinning hair.
They really took the time to walk me through the extension process and answered all my questions patiently. I loved how personal the experience was. You can REALLY tell how much these people love what they do. Building a trusting relationship is so important when it comes to life’s insecurities and they do just that!!
With over 20 years as a stylist, The Garnish Collective owner, Candice Motley, has dedicated the last 15+ years to building confidence in her clients through the art of hair extensions. As a woman with her own hair loss story, she is passionate about creating transformative solutions both for women who are simply seeking more length and volume and for women struggling with moderate to advanced hair loss.

We`re not Step 1.
And that`s on doing things right.
Before you come to us, talk to your dermatologist. Once they`ve helped you identify the "why," we`re standing by to help you write the "what`s next."

We got a little teary-eyed when a favorite client shared this: "I was just talking to a [non-Garnish guest] friend last night and she was telling me that she hates going to the salon because it`s this long process filled with awkward small talk between her and her stylist."
And then we shed a few happy tears when she followed up with all the ways we`re different. Like, we know ... but we still love to hear it 😉
No awkward small talk. No back-and-forth with someone who doesn`t get your vision. Good vibes only at the Garnish Collective ✨

We’re calling it:
No-Shame November is in full effect.
No apologizing for taking a second helping of your favorite Thanksgiving side. No whispering behind closed doors about hair loss. No talking yourself into believing you don`t deserve to look and feel like your truest self.
No shame.
No hiding.
Just excellence, community, and confidence that actually fits.

Spirit Week and Garnish Academy and beloved guests, oh my!
October was a whirlwind in the very best way. We learned, we laughed, we little-white-lied, we leaned WAY into "Zoom Day" (blink and you`ll miss Sativa`s and Alecks`s iconic "business up top, party down below" looks ...).
Thanks for being part of the magic, Garnish Gang. Nothing spooky about how much we appreciate you 🖤✨

We’re not dermatologists. We’re not trichologists (yet 😉).
But we are hair loss replacement experts.
And if you’ve ever been in our chairs, you know we approach your scalp with strategy, precision, and a deep understanding of what’s really going on beneath the surface.
From inflammation to follicle fatigue to thinning edges ... we see it, we study it, and we keep the integrity of your scalp in high regard. With artistry and science.
Because custom crowns and mesh integrations might look like magic, but they start with a foundation of knowledge, not guesswork.

Little white lies, Garnish edition 🫣
Y`all didn`t realize you were going to a salon alongside expert detanglers, sweet tea obsessives, wholesome readers, folks who are definitely always on time ...
For Day 1 of Spirit Week, we wore our lies loud and proud.
Self-awareness with a little shade = the ideal balance.
✨ Now it’s your turn:
What’s your little white lie? Drop it in the comments and release yourself from the burden 😈🖤
P.S. If you saw the first version of this post where we left out Amber`s clip even though Amber came up with our Spirit Week ideas AND bought all our T-shirts AND is literally the social media girl`s boss
... no you didn`t (and social media girl is so sorry)

Spoiler alert: Those flawless installs? They don’t come from a box.
They come from this. From "Wow, there`s hair everywhere." From hands-on artistry. From stylists who treat your crown like fine art and a team that knows the mess is part of the masterpiece.
Crowns, wefts, mesh, tape, thread ... our days are equal parts beauty and beautiful chaos. But trust: Every weft, every crown, every blend is intentional.
This is the Garnish Collective. Precision meets personality, chaos meets craftsmanship, and confidence is custom-built.

Extension installation is an art. And a science. And a craft that takes sooo much time, dedication, and passion to master.
And even with all that, sometimes a stitch just comes loose. It happens! In fact, in this vid it`s happening to our very own marketing and social media director, Amber.
No fear, babes. If this happens to you, give us a shout and come see us. Not the end of the world. Quick fix. We got you.

Your hair deserves better than a cotton pillowcase and crossed fingers.
The investment required to care for extensions or a custom crown is no joke, and you can`t clock out on it just because it`s bedtime. Every toss, turn, and tangle adds up.
But, as always, we got you. Here are our top 4 ways to protect your hair while you sleep (aka: how to wake up still feeling expensive):
🖤 Upgrade your pillowcase
🖤 Braid it before bed
🖤 Brush it the right way
🖤 Don’t you dare sleep on it wet (do as we say, not as we very occasionally MAYBE do)
Because true luxury is in the details.
Because we`re not here for clip-ins and chaos.
Because your stylist can tell if you skipped these steps.
🛏️ Tap through for your overnight to-do list—and come snag one of our in-salon scrunchies while you’re at it.

Betrayals. We’ve felt them.
– You ghosting us after the consultation that made you cry happy tears
– You skipping maintenance and then saying “It just doesn’t feel the same anymore”
– You using a rubber band. A rubber band, babe.
🖤 Tag your stylist and say you`re sorry. We’ll still take you back. Probably

/adj./ a number of persons or things considered as one group or whole
/noun/ a cooperative unit or organization
We’ve always been more than a salon. More than extensions. More than before-and-after pics. Now we’re naming it. Claiming it. Expanding it.
The Garnish Collective is the next chapter of who we are and how we serve:
→ A team of artists, educators, and solution-seekers
→ A space for hair loss transformation, not just installation
→ A commitment to luxury care that’s custom, not copy-paste
→ A movement built on trust, artistry, and real results
We`re rebuilding the team, broadening our offerings, and collaborating globally. From meshless integration to crowns to industry education, we are a collective in every sense of the word. We’re evolving, and we`re so glad you`re here with us.
Stay tuned. We’re just getting started.
