Hair Extensions
We provide customizable hair extensions using premium hand-tied wefts, tape-ins, keratin tips, and clip-ins. These solutions add length, volume, or color accents while maintaining natural hair health. Our certified stylists create seamless blends that enhance your existing features and lifestyle needs.
Men's Hair Replacement
Our custom men's hair systems offer natural-looking solutions for hair loss with adjustable density options and 68 color combinations. Designed for comfort and durability, these systems require regular maintenance appointments every 4-6 weeks for continued perfection.

I've been a couple times and had my hair cut with Tara. I have curly hair and a lot of people don't know how to deal with it. Tara layers it perfectly.

Emerald is probably one of the best , if not the best, stylist in town. She is experienced and takes her time to communicate and understand the exact hair style you want. Overall, a very clean and organized studio with super friendly staff

I absolutely love this salon. It is so relaxing, and the staff are amazing and friendly. Emerald has been cutting and colouring my hair for a couple of years now, and always seems to find the perfect thing for me! I can't reccomend her, or DesignHouse enough.

For years my stylist was the owner Chantelle and I could never imagine letting anyone else touch my hair for the rest of my life! When the time came for her to recommend another stylist at her salon, I was nervous. She let me know she specifically thought Rachelle and I would be a good fit and WOW! I loved meeting with Rachelle. And she did one heck of a job! After 6 weeks, I swear I am still thankful everytime I wash my hair and get ready for work. It looks beautiful and is easy to manage. She took off nearly half, but my hair doesn't look short. It looks awesome!! The photo is from the evening
