Shake-out, Suite 17
Megan Hudgin makes every keratin bond herself, matched to your density and blended to your color. Twelve years in, with color as her first love.
The difference
Twelve years in. Color was her first love, then extensions. She takes a color and extension transformation from start to finish, and the bonds are made in the studio for one head of hair.
In the studio
Two methods, chosen for your hair
A custom extension service tailored to you. Keratin bonds Megan makes for each client, with density matching, even weight distribution and color blended to yours.
“Wefts are really a great way to just quickly add a lot of hair at once.” Rows of hair sewn into a beaded foundation, for a lot of length and a lot of fullness.
Color and K-tip install
One client. Custom color, then K-tips matched to her density and blended to the new blonde. Drag the line to compare.
Use the consultation form to send a recent photo of your current color and length, and what you want it to do. Color clients can finish the whole consultation this way.
Extension consultations are in person and take up to 30 minutes, so Megan gets the right information and really listens. She asks what you like about your hair now, so you do not lose it, and takes apart every inspiration photo you bring.
The same hands match your color to the extensions. K-tips take 1.5 to 3 hours. Wefts take about an hour and a half.
Wefts move up every 8 weeks. K-tips wear 3 to 5 months. The hair is 100% Remy, sourced from more than one supplier, and reusable for up to a year with good care.
Color
Low-maintenance blonding, grey blending and custom balayage. What clients tell Megan they like is the outgrowth: no line to see as it grows.

Meet Megan
Her mom did hair in a salon in their basement, and Megan grew up playing with the rollers and the mannequin head. She trained at Paul Mitchell The School Chicago, fell for color first, then expanded into extensions, and has worn extensions herself for more than ten years.
“My clients grow into friends.”
