Loft Salon Studio – Ann Marie Walts – Luxury Makeovers & Full-Service Business Branding with Automations — Local services in West Springfield

I found Anne Marie through searching for stylists that did great lengths hair extensions in Western MA and stalked her Instagram for a while before finally contacting her for a consultation. I had fusion extensions that were slipping out left and right and I knew that I wanted them done professionally. I was so impressed with everything she had done online so was a little intimidated going into the consultation. Once I got there and met with her, those feelings were completely forgotten about. Anne Marie is so warm and welcoming and I could tell immediately that she absolutely loves what she does! Her confidence and enthusiasm made me feel so good about being there. We looked at pictures of where I was hoping to me and she analyzed how to get there. It was so refreshing to have a stylist really listen to me! At the end of my consultation, which felt way more like a chat with someone I've known for a long time, she gave me three options of what she could do for my hair, with a full explanation of each, at three different price points. There was no pressure to go with any of them, she was just giving her professional opinion. I decided then to book what I had gone in looking for which was a full color makeover, and great lengths extensions. We booked a date that worked with both of our schedules, which was about three weeks out. Knowing I was anxious to get my hair done, she called to get me in as soon as she could, earlier than my original appointment. We had talked at length about the color I wanted, which was a dark brown to very white blonde ombré, and she spoke to Great Lengths and was able to order specially colored hair that matched exactly what I was looking for, and chose a few complementing shades to weave in between. When I arrived the day of my appointment and saw the colors, I was amazed at how perfect they were! She spent the early part of the day coloring my natural hair, and after a lunch break we began the extension process. i thought it would be a long and tedious process, but as a busy mom and small business owner I found it was the most relaxing time I have had in forever! Anne Marie put my feet up, gave me comfy blankets and pillows, and played funny movies for me the entire time she was working her magic on my hair. The hours flew by and before I knew it she was done! When I finally saw my hair and the colors all together I was speechless! I felt absolutely beautiful! She took my after pics and was kind enough to take pictures that I can use for my clothing business- she has such a fun and creative energy! She sent me home with all of the products I need to take care of my extensions. I can't say enough about now perfect they are- you would never be able tell that I was wearing extensions! and the color is absolutely beautiful- a "natural" sunkissed looking ombré. Thank your for my "Pinterest" hair! I can't say enough about Anne Marie! She obviously has the experience behind her, but she is up with every new trend and is always looking forward to what is next and has the knowledge to do it! She is an artist in what she does. She is kind and humble, and when you are in her chair you have her undivided attention. You get what you pay for, and Anne Marie is hands...

You'll realize how much confidence you've been robbing yourself of for not going to her sooner! Best salon...

I cannot recommend Ann Marie more. I am a year out from chemo and my hair was an unruly, untamable, curly mullet of a mess that I was still hiding under a wig. Ann Marie was upfront about my best options for hair extensions, even though they weren’t what I had my heart set on. But she had a vision for my hair transformation the second I took my wig off and I trusted her instinct. And boy, did she deliver!

I am thrilled with my extensions. I have my confidence back. It is so freeing to ditch the wig.

She was extremely thorough in explaining the process, cost and time involved. I knew exactly what to expect. Though the process was long, we had a great couple days chatting, watching Netflix, etc., and the end result is fantastic. She even met with me on zoom the first time I washed my new hair and walked me through blow drying and styling it myself. That is more than I ever expected. I could tell she wanted to help me understand how to blend my hair with the extensions well and make the most of new hair.

In my situation, where I was hiding my hair under a wig, I really appreciated the private environment at Loft Salon. When you are there, it's just you and Ann Marie, no on-lookers, no distractions...it felt like a luxury experience.

Ann Marie is dedicated, attentive and an expert at what she does. I highly recommend reaching out to her for a hair transformation.

Thank you, Ann Marie, for giving me my confidence back. What you have done for me...
