I contacted Siren Extension Studio when I was beginning my hair regrowth process post chemo treatment. My sister was getting married and I had a lot of anxiety surrounding what my hair would look like for pictures and the day itself. Caitlin was able to do a virtual consultation with me (I live 3+ h...ours away) for Chemo Girl extensions. I sent her some pictures of my prechemo hair and she was able to match it EXACTLY. I’ve never had extensions prior to this. They walked me through the care and provided the products and references I would need to maintain the hair. Everyone at the studio was so kind and sensitive about the process. It takes a long time to install but I never felt rushed or like I was holding them up. Today I got the extensions removed for the first time (graduation day!). Caitlin even trimmed my hair for the first time since I started growing it back and approached me with so much patience. I can’t recommend the women here enough. They made an otherwise frustrating regrowth process so much easier. read more

Came with a last Minute wig styling and they accommodated really well can't complain

Hair felt great after ktip install. Some pieces could have had a smaller ball but overall I liked them. I’ll be going back again.

Brenna is the only person i trust with my hair. She has lightened my hair several times and it comes out perfect every time. Thank you brenna

Went for a consult with Caitlin and left with beautiful hair! So thankful she was able to get my extensions done on the same day as my consult and took really good care of me! I love my new hair and I feel more like myself than I have in a long time! Highly recommend coming here If you’re interested... in extensions! read more

Emily is absolutely amazing! She does my extensions, and I couldn’t be happier. She takes her time, pays attention to every detail, and always makes my hair look and feel incredible. My extensions blend perfectly and look so natural. Not only is she incredibly talented, but she’s also kind, professi...onal, and makes every appointment enjoyable. I always leave feeling beautiful and confident. I highly recommend Emily to anyone looking for an amazing hairstylist! read more

Emily is amazing and as a first time extension was able to teach me how to properly care for them with care. Looking forward to more experiences with them!

My stylist is Emily. She is amazing. She did such a good job. My experience with the salon was excellent. I would definitely recommend They are very knowledgeable. The people are very friendly and caring. I Give the salon five stars.

First, the place is bright and clean, good ambiance. Staff are lively and friendly. Breanna is very detailed and so particular of her craft. I am happy with my highlight, it is a crispy, neat, tidy, pronounced highlight result! 101% I recommend!

I’ve had multiple great experiences at Siren, with three different stylists. Everyone is always friendly and they’ve done an amazing job with my tape-in extensions!

I love my KB hair Extensions. I’ve never had them done before and absolutely loved them because it corrected a bad haircut that I had that left me With very short hair on the sides and top of my head. Now I’m thinking that I will always want these if I simply wanna add some length or color. I also l...ove the fact that they put the conditioner in the lightning bleach. My highlights came out pretty and soft and didn’t damage my hair. read more

I had such a great experience with Cheyanne! I went in for hair extensions and was honestly pretty nervous since I’m really indecisive, but she immediately made me feel at ease. She took the time to explain the process, answered all of my questions, and you can tell she really knows what she’s doing.... She did an amazing job matching and coloring my hair so everything blended perfectly with the extensions, and she finished it off with a haircut that completely brought the look together. Throughout the appointment, she kept checking in to make sure I liked everything and made sure I was comfortable by offering me water, sparkling water, and snacks. I absolutely love how my hair turned out, and the whole experience was so relaxing. If you’re thinking about getting extensions, I definitely recommend booking with Cheyanne! read more

I inquired about a service. I heard back quickly. I managed to get an appointment for a consult a few days later. I decided to schedule with them. I managed to get an appointment within a few weeks (which is spectacular as most places are booked a month+ out). I appreciated the quickness. Here’s the... zinger. The day before my appointment they cancelled on me. There was an emergency and I absolutely will not penalize their rating for being a good employer to their stylists. They gave me a few make up options. None of them worked for me. However, they did manage to fit me in, with a different stylist, within 15 minutes of my original appointment. I was a new client, so I wasn’t hard set on a stylist. These ladies went above and beyond. I felt like a princess having two people working on me because another one had free time before her client came in. They were polite, friendly and checked in with me a dozen times through the process to make sure I was happy from start to finish. I paid a premium price for a premium service, but I will absolutely drive 2 hours one way and go back again. read more

I originally booked a blowout, but as I talked with Cheyanne about a recent haircut that hadn't turned out the way I'd hoped, it became clear she understood exactly what had gone wrong and how to start fixing it. I ended up staying for a bang trim, and she made thoughtful adjustments that immediatel...y improved the overall look. I appreciated that she listened carefully, offered knowledgeable feedback to get me on the right path. I'm looking forward to coming back for balayage highlights and would happily recommend her to others. read more

Caitlin matched my clip in extensions perfectly and I got to have luscious, long bridal hair on my special day! Truly such a great experience and felt beautiful

While I didn't get extensions during my visit, I did get highlights, haircut and styled by Emily. She listened to what I wanted, did a fabulous job with my color and was so friendly.
They are amazing! I highly recommend them. My hair was thinning but it looks amazing now! The color match was perfect and I love my hair again!
Total transformation after losing my hair to chemo from breast cancer at 35 years old! I had lost so much and just wanted at least my hair back so I could feel like myself and these girls did it! What a boost to my confidence and happiness. Thank you!
Love love love Kristen!!! She always makes sure I have the most beautiful hair and is so so personable and positive. Best place to go!
She’s not only “a professional”, she’s THE professional. By far, the best K-tip extensions and color match I’ve ever had. Caitlin, thank you so much for helping me feel like myself again! I will definitely be returning ♥️.
I love this place. Caitlin is the best, warm, welcoming and professional. Everything she does is amazing! I love my extensions and the hair color!
Caitlin is amazing! I started going to her two years ago, and have been loving my long hair every day since! She did a great job assessing which kind of extensions would be best for my hair type (tape ins), and worked with me to match color and length. My hair always looks great when I leave the sal...on, and I adore the look she gives me as well as the low maintenance of tape in extensions. If you are even considering extensions a tiny bit, go visit Caitlin for a consultation! read more
Caitlin is the extension goddess. She transformed my over processed fine hair into beautiful, thick locks using great lengths hair extensions. I love it and my husband does, too. Check her out she will not disappoint. She’s a total badass!
Caitlin is one of the best hair stylist I have ever been to! I used her for all of my hair needs (fusions, tape ins, beaded wefts etc) and the magic she was able to pull off boosted my confidence like no other! My natural hair is very thin and fine. She was able to blend every extension in a way tha...t looked natural and beautiful (literally couldn’t tell I had extensions). read more
Had tape-ins installed with Caitlin. She did an amazing job and everyone at the salon is super nice and it\'s a very fun environment. After my complimentary consultation, I felt like I knew all the information that I needed and was able to book my install super easy. They are very upfront with costs... and what will be best on your hair type and style. My extensions blend so well, you can\'t even tell! I will definitely return again and again! read more
I had the best customer service ever. From the receptionist (I don’t remember her name) to Caitlin that did my hair. It was my first time having tape ins and it was beyond my expectations. I came for a consultation and Caitlin answered all my questions. I scheduled my appointment weeks later and I’m... in love with my hair! She did an amazing job. They even sent me a personal note with a coupon, what a great customer service. They don’t disappoint, if you are thinking to have extensions you should visit this place. They are all very professional and have great product. read more
Caitlin is absolutely fabulous!! I am always one for doing something wild with my hair, but she knew more about what I wanted before I did. We did what they ended up naming an "aquatic goddess" look. It was a deep blue with some light blue to throw a little pop in. I will post a picture when I get t...he opportunity! My extensions were "tape-in" and she blended them so well no one even knew I had them. They just looked natural! They are so personable there and when you come in to do something fun everyone in the salon is excited for your look, not just you! I will recommend her to absolutely anyone! Thanks for the hard work Caitlin you rocked it!!! read more
I've been sick since the beginning of 2018 so I lost a lot of hair due to all my meds. After lots of research, I decided I wanted to try keratin extensions to try to fill in my hair. I've never had extensions before (except the clip-ins for my wedding), so I was a little nervous at first, especially... since I have naturally curly hair. Caitlin walked me through everything I needed to do, and the girls at the front desk were awesome to answer any of my questions when I called. I told Caitlin I wanted the most keratin extensions possible, so she matched my hair, and did 30% of the extensions in an off shade to add some natural highlights to my hair. When I arrived for my appointment she was ready to go and took her time to make sure everything was perfect. She gave me a great shampoo to make sure my hair was super clean, then she dried my hair and got to work. I was worried that they'd be too heavy, or that it would be difficult to sleep. I have to say, it's a little heavier, but nothing like I imagined... I thought my head was going to feel weighed down and that's not the case. I purchased a satin sleep cap which definitely helped keep my hair from going all over when I sleep. When I saw my finished hair I was amazed at how natural it looked! I was originally going to cut it down to be shorter, but I think I like the long look and will keep it for awhile. I can't say enough good things about Caitlin! I feel fantastic, and I'm already getting lots of compliments on my hair! read more
I’ve been seeing Caitlin for the past two years and I will never go to anyone else! She has brought back the life to my hair. I have fine, thin, hair that’s difficult to process with color. She has managed to make me happy every time I come to see her. I also love the rest of the staff. They’re welc...oming and cheerful every time I’m there. Thank you Caitlin you are amazing! read more
Caitlin is the best!! She has been doing my hair for years, and really knows her stuff. She is dedicated and extremely passionate and does whatever she can to ensure her clients leave happy! Every time she does my hair I'm more than thrilled. Plus, she's friendly and you never have to deal with that... awkward silence while waiting for your hair to process. She really takes the time to get to know you not only as a client, but as a person! read more
I was really nervous about getting extensions and did a lot research prior to getting extensions. This is by far the best place to go! Caitlin is amazing! She is knowledgeable and wants the best for her clients!
Caitlin cut my hair and did a color consultation. My hair looks beautiful and I am so excited for my dye job on Thursday! The salon is looks and smells amazing and I felt so comfortable chatting with Caitlin about what I wanted and about my life in general. This is definitely my new salon!
Caitlin did an amazing job with my extensions!! My hair looks amazing!! I will defiantly be returning. Everyone at the salon was so friendly and very helpful.
Caitlin is amazing!! She has done my hair for years, and she always delivers on my picky requests! Thank you Caitlin for helping me love my hair and step outside the box!
Caitlin is a great stylist and I always leave feeling beautiful! Whether it's just a cut, cut/color or my hair for my wedding it always turns out just how I want!
