00:00Your hairstyle can make and break the way you feel, how confident you are, how sexy you feel.
00:06I just feel like I need that back again. I need longer hair.
00:10Also, my daughter is obsessed with Disney princesses.
00:14Let's make me a Disney Rapunzel.
00:21Hi, I'm Mikey, also known as Colored by a Cowboy,
00:24and I am a hair extension specialist and hair colorist in Beverly Hills, California and Dallas, Texas.
00:29You can find my work on clients like Paige Hathaway, Amanda Steele, and other beautiful clients who fly from around
00:34the world to see me.
00:35I'm best known for my lived-in color and seamlessly blended extensions.
00:39My clients trust me with extensions because of my perfectionism and just looking so lived-in and natural and beautiful.
00:46Today on Paige, I'm going to be doing a complete transformation.
00:49I'm going to be taking her from brunette to natural, lived-in, beautiful, blonde, long hair.
00:55The extensions today that I'm going to be doing on Paige are going to be 22-inch hand-tied sew
01:00-in extensions.
01:01The cost of the service would normally be about $1,800 for the hair,
01:06and the service I charge per row, and normally each row is $300.
01:11I have been doing Paige's hair for the past two years, and we met in Dallas, Texas, and ever since,
01:17we've been best friends.
01:18Hi, I'm Paige. I'm a fitness model, entrepreneur, and my greatest title is I'm a mom.
01:24I've always had fairly light blonde hair, typically longer.
01:30I had a daughter about three and a half years ago, and I went through that hair-pulling phase,
01:36so I chopped my hair to my chin.
01:40I went from blonde to brunette, but I've always felt my best with lighter hair.
01:46So, I'm a little nervous, but I know that I'm in really good hands.
01:49I trust Mikey with my hair, and I think it's going to look amazing,
01:52and I think that my daughter is going to love it.
01:54Hi, how are you, cutie?
01:56Hi, good!
01:56So nice to see you.
01:57I'm so excited.
01:59Thank you for coming to LA to come see me.
02:00Of course.
02:01Are you ready to look hot?
02:02Hotter.
02:03Hotter.
02:04We're going to freaking make you blonde and long, 22 extensions, the whole thing.
02:10I'm so excited.
02:11Let's do it.
02:12Disney princess, here we come.
02:13The first thing today I'm going to be doing on Paige is giving her a client robe,
02:18just to make sure I don't get any hair color or bleach on her clothes.
02:21I'm going to be highlighting her with Schwarzkopf Blonde Me Bleach with 20 volume for her roots,
02:27just because they are virgin and to give it a little extra lift.
02:30Then I will be using 7 volume Schwarzkopf Blonde Me Bleach on her ends,
02:35just to keep the integrity of her hair, since her hair is pre-lightened.
02:38I'm going to start off today in the back on Paige, just because I find it's easier to rinse.
02:42I like to rinse the bleach as it's ready, rather than letting it sit on the hair.
02:46Just, it really keeps the integrity of my client's hair.
02:49I like to pull them when they're a nice pale yellow.
02:52I will use a nice moisturizing shampoo.
02:56I love the Milbond Moisture Shampoo.
02:58It's one of my favorites.
03:00It's nice and light on the hair, and I like to use that before I put in extensions.
03:04Then I will use the Moisture and Repair Conditioner on her ends.
03:08I like to put them together.
03:09Next, I will mix Paige's gloss, where I will be using Redken Shades EQ.
03:14It's one of my favorite, favorite glosses.
03:17After five minutes, I will then start combing down to give it that beautiful, lived-in color.
03:22Then I will rinse Paige, and I will shampoo her one more time.
03:26I will bring her back to my station, where I will get her towel dried,
03:29and I will apply a heat protectant all over.
03:32I'm nervous.
03:33This is just the color reveal.
03:34I know, but it's just...
03:35It's going to be so good, I promise.
03:36You ready?
03:37Don't touch it, though.
03:38I'm going to turn it around.
03:38Ready?
03:39Okay.
03:40Three, two.
03:43What?
03:46Do you love it?
03:48I'm going to cry.
03:49It's so good, right?
03:50I have the chills.
03:52The old Paige is back.
03:53Oh my gosh, it looks so good.
03:57And now we have extensions.
03:58Another three hours in the chair, baby.
04:00I will section her hair using a rat tail comb,
04:04and I will take my first section of where I'm going to be applying her extensions.
04:08On Paige, today I'm going to be using Hair Lingerie 22-inch hand-tied extensions.
04:12I then will clip her hair up, and I will use a stronghold hairspray
04:17to get any flyaways that are in my way out.
04:19I will then use these little silver clips, clipping the hair weft to the foundation.
04:25After I get the hair weft clipped in, I will then start sewing the hair extensions.
04:30After completing and getting the first row of extensions sewn in,
04:33I will start taking my next section for Paige,
04:36and I will clip the remaining of her hair up.
04:38I will then bricklay three Hair Lingerie 22-inch extension wefts on this row.
04:44After I get it all clipped in, I will then start sewing
04:47and repeat this process for the next row above.
04:50After I get all three rows sewn in on Paige,
04:52I will then make sure all the hair is completely straight and blown out and smooth,
04:56and I will perform a haircut just to make sure everything is blended into her hair.
05:00I'm finishing off this look today on Paige by using a one-and-a-quarter-inch curling iron,
05:06and here's the final reveal.
05:07One, two.
05:12Oh my.
05:15This is crazy.
05:16Like, is this me?
05:18Am I?
05:18Is this really happening?
05:19Is this a dream?
05:21Like, I feel like I have dream hair right now.
05:23No one's going to recognize me.
05:25No.
05:25Like, I really feel like the real-life Rapunzel, my daughter, is going to love it.
05:30Mikey, I love you.
05:32I love you.
05:32This looks amazing.
05:33Don't mess up my hair.
05:35I'm sorry.
