Testimonials from the Institute’s Clients

Wouldn’t Trust Anyone Else with My Hair

I have been a client of Hair Extension Institute for about 10 years. I tried extensions because I wanted length and fullness added to my own hair. What I got was a whole new look that I had wanted since I was a little girl. Lori is a master at matching your own color and texture.

No one ever believes me when I tell them I have extensions. I have even gone into other salons to get a quick bang trim and when I tell them I have extensions the stylists don’t believe me until I show them. That’s just how good she is at her craft!

-Karen P., Atlanta

I have been getting my hair done by Lori for over 5 years now. I randomly met her on a leisurely trip to Atlanta and my life has changed. I had spent 30 years crying over my thin miserable hair until I was introduced to the magic of hair extensions! Now I have beautiful thick hair every day. The phrase “bad hair day” does not exist in my vernacular. I get compliments on my hair all the time and the best thing is it looks completely natural. Lori has a friend and client for life.

On February 14th of every year, the tradition of love is celebrated, perhaps even bringing out the romantic in you. But instead of romancing your Honey this Valentine’s Day why not romance your hair instead?

Hairstyles are constantly changing, but long flowing locks have always been a standard for beauty. However, if Long hair with lots of texture is unattainable for you, you’re in luck! The Hair Extensions Institute of Duluth, a Salon completely devoted to hair extensions, blends in various colors, textures and lengths of high-quality human hair that perfectly match each client’s own hair. By using the Mega Hair method, the extensions are attached away from the client's scalp, thus protecting the natural hair and promoting hair growth.

Owner Lori Ruzek is considered the Master Extensionist at Hair Extension Institute, while her father, Salvatore Megna, the mastermind behind the Mega Hair Method. With her father being a well-known stylist and product developer in the industry, Lori grew up in the beauty business. Established in 2000, the Hair Extension Institute has a diverse clientele, ranging from professional men and women to adult entertainers. The cost for a head of hair ranges anywhere between $800 and $1400 and lasts three to four months.

If Romance is what you’re looking for this Valentine’s Day, start with a romantic look that will dazzle your darling. Put up with breakage and thinning hair no longer—with a head of long, gorgeous locks, love will surely come your way!
