MONTI.HAIR
NATURAL LAYERED
Layered hair is single drawn hair that contains different lengths within a bundle creating a seamless blend for a natural layered look.
NATURAL LUXE
Our double-drawn hair is non-layered allowing for fuller ends that do not taper. Perfect for thicker hair and creating one-length styles that do not need layering.
NATURAL CURLY
Monti Curly hair is all natural, is never chemically curled and will not wash out as it is 100% natural texture. It ranges from a tight wave to loose curl.
TEXTURED
Our Kinky hair is ethically sourced and steamed without chemicals to give springy curls that last. Relaxed Straight is soft, but has texture to blend perfectly with natural African American hair.
MONTI.METHODS
MICROLINK I-TIP
I-Tips are one of the most versatile methods in the extension world and a favorite of Monti Extensionists.
They can be worn up to 12 weeks, they have 1 : 1 equal weight ratio, they are safe for fine hair, there is full rotation of each individual extension, you can use any products, you can run your fingers completely through your hair from scalp to ends, there is no heat, glue or solvents used to attach or remove them and they are lightweight and comfortable.
TAPE-IN
Tape-In extensions are one of the quickest extension methods around which makes them one of the most popular.
Just a few "sandwiches" give tons of volume. They can be worn up to 6-8 weeks and are reusable many times. A great choice for gals with thick hair. But, don't worry- Monti Extensions offers a single sided method for those with fine hair, but prefer a Tape-In installation. It's all about equal weight.
HAND-TIED and MACHINE WEFTS
Wefts are one of the trendiest methods right now because of how undetectable they can be
. At Monti Extensions, we preach no tight tension, no over-direction and equal weight, so we modified the application method to give your clients a comfortable, damage-free installation. Monti's Waterfall Beaded Weft method creates a stronger foundation and better support than other weft methods.

Hair: Monti Tape-In's are ethically sourced Indian Remy hair.
Tabs: Our tabs are created to be flexible yet sturdy so they don't fall apart when old tape is pulled off for reinstallation.

DEB.MONTI
Rarely do we meet a stylist who has but one trick up their sleeve. Usually there’s a tint brush, an arsenal of brushes and a scissor collection in their repertoire, but Deb Monti has one thing on her mind- extensions.
As a salon owner, Monti has seen her share of botched extensions over the years that are not only ruining women’s hair, but the extension industry itself. In the extension world, she was ahead of her time. Fast forward to the here and now, and you will see almost every salon doing extensions, but the education isn’t catching up to the demand. “I just got really tired of seeing so many women with extensions that were applied wrong with low-quality hair. Women were coming to me with painful extensions that were causing damage and the extension industry was getting such a bad reputation- I felt I needed to do something, so I created Monti Extensions & Academy, an intensive education program for stylists and a superior line of extensions for clients.”
Deb, co-owner of Milvali Salon - with locations in both San Francisco and Mill Valley - is an award-winning extensionist whose salons have been top rated by Allure, Racked SF, Short Cuts and San Francisco Magazine, and ranks "Best Hair Extensions" year after year in the San Francisco Chronicle's A-List. While running a successful business, training stylists and working behind the chair as a reputable extensionist for the past decade, Deb will finally share all of her coveted secrets about extensions and why it's important to be thoroughly educated.
Her home is San Francisco but she travels far & wide to certify stylists in the #MontiMethod
