Mastering the Art of Coloring Covet & Mane Extensions with Savannah Carlson Rice

We recently had the pleasure of hosting a fantastic session with Savannah Carlson Rice, one of our Concealed program alumni and a talented Covet Creator. Savannah joined us from Austin, Texas, where she works her magic at The Collective ATX. If you missed the live session, don't worry! We're here to share some of her top tips and tricks for coloring Covet & Mane extensions.

1. Meet Savannah Carlson Rice

Savannah is a seasoned expert in hair extensions and has been working with our Covet & Mane extensions for years. Her passion for perfecting color techniques shines through in every session she leads.

2. Savannah’s Go-To Colors

Savannah loves using Schwarzkopf Vibrance neutrals for their reliable, true-to-tone results. She avoids shades that might turn purple or pink, ensuring a perfect match every time.

3. Coloring Techniques

Blending is key! Savannah recommends blending in a downward motion and using a dry brush to prevent any unwanted spots. This technique helps achieve that seamless, natural look we all strive for.

4. Comparing Brands

While many stylists use Redken, Savannah finds Schwarzkopf to be more straightforward. It saves her time and reduces the need for extra adjustments in the formulation process.

5. Low Lighting Like a Pro

For those looking to add low lights, Savannah suggests going a bit bolder than usual. She advises keeping low lights away from the face to maintain a bright, fresh appearance.

6. Caring for Your Extensions

With proper care, Covet & Mane extensions can last from nine months to a year. Some clients even manage to extend their life up to 18 months! Savannah shares her top product picks, including the ultra-moisturizing Oribe line and Kerastase for those seeking a change.

7. Prepping for New Installs

Savannah always preps extensions a few days before the appointment. This proactive approach ensures everything goes smoothly and gives her time to address any unexpected issues.

8. Pricing Details

Curious about maintenance costs? Savannah charges $200 for the first row and $150 for each additional row. This includes removal, washing, and reinstalling the extensions.
