When I found Ebonie, my hair was a mess—and the stylist before her was me. I had been coloring and managing my own hair, and it showed. I started Googling extensions and stumbled across E. Noir. Her website felt different, like someone actually got what I was going through. We had a Zoom consult, and I hoped she could undo the damage I had done.
​
What I didn’t expect was everything else she does. It’s not just the hair, it’s the care. The way she color-matches, remembers your preferences, and truly personalizes every visit makes it feel like you’re her only guest. At first, we did three rows and kept it shorter to protect my hair. Now, I’m wearing longer extensions that feel light and easy, even with workouts, braids, and messy buns. All my worries disappeared.
​
I’ve seen other stylists, but nothing has ever felt this personal. Ebonie remembers my favorite foods. She checks in between visits. She just gets it. My hair is now longer and healthier than it’s ever been, and I’ve been blonde since high school. I don’t spend a ton on myself, but this? This is my non-negotiable. It’s worth every single penny.

I found Ebonie in December 2019 after struggling with Halo extensions that never matched and brassy blonde that just wouldn’t stay toned. I remember Googling “hair extensions in Albuquerque,” clicking around, and then stopping at E. Noir. I saw a photo of someone who looked like me, with perfect blonde hair, and I knew I had found someone who got it.
From day one, it felt different. Ebonie is not just talented, she’s consistent, grounded, and genuinely kind. Even as her salon has grown, she hasn’t changed. I’ve been coming to her for nearly six years, and it still feels like I’m visiting a friend. I trust her with my hair completely. If something ever wasn’t quite right (though it hasn’t happened), I know she’d fix it with zero judgment.
​
When I first started wearing extensions, I kept it quiet. It felt like something to hide. Now, I share it proudly. My hair is still naturally thin, but Ebonie has helped me feel confident in a way I hadn’t before. My extensions match, blend beautifully, and feel like me. I wear my hair up, down, whatever I want, and I always feel good in it.

I found Ebonie through my daughter Cheyanne. I had been using clip-ins but wanted more volume and length that actually felt natural, especially now that my hair isn’t growing like it used to. Once I messaged her on Instagram and came in for a consultation, I was hooked. The salon felt peaceful and inviting from the moment I walked in, and everything about it, the look, the vibe, the way Ebonie communicates, made me feel confident I was in the right place.
​
Over the past two years, that feeling has only grown. Ebonie gets my blonde just right every time, even when I come in with nothing but a vague photo. If I ever needed a tweak, I know she’d handle it with zero judgment. But honestly? I’ve never been disappointed. It’s not just the hair, it’s the connection. We laugh, talk about our shows, share life stuff. I genuinely enjoy being in her chair.
​
I don’t think people realize how rare that is. I trust her completely. The idea of going to someone else? Nope. It’s not worth the stress. With Ebonie, I always feel seen, heard, and taken care of. She’s not just my stylist, she’s my friend. And every time I leave, my hair proves why I keep coming back.

When I first came to Ebonie, my hair was barely hanging on, fried, breaking, and bleached beyond repair. I was frustrated, stubborn, and felt stuck. My previous stylist wouldn’t even touch my hair. That’s when I vented to my friend Mariela, and she leaned in and whispered, “Do you want to know a secret?” She told me she was wearing extensions, and I couldn’t believe it. They looked so natural. When she said it was Ebonie’s work, I knew I had to book. Sure, the price gave me sticker shock at first, but now? I’ll never go without them. It’s worth every penny.
​
From the moment I stepped into E. Noir, I felt like I’d found my place. Cozy, elevated, totally my vibe. But it was Ebonie’s kindness that floored me. I sat down and cried, and she didn’t judge me or talk down to me. She simply said, “Here’s what we can do,” and built a plan. I didn’t even get to go blonde at first, but that appointment was still perfect. She saw me, listened to me, and created something beautiful. She’s been doing that for me ever since.
​
People still don’t believe I wear extensions. They think it’s my natural hair, and that’s all Ebonie. Every transformation we’ve done, she’s nailed. I trust her completely. It’s not just the hair (even though it’s always amazing), it’s how I feel when I leave. Confident. Seen. Like myself again. That’s what makes her different. That’s why people stay.

When I first came to Ebonie, my hair was a wreck. I had gotten extensions done somewhere else and they completely fried my hair—color was bad, the damage was unreal, and I was left with almost nothing. I was frustrated, disappointed, and honestly just upset with myself. I knew I had made a mistake and kept thinking, “I should’ve gone to Ebonie from the start.” I wanted a stylist who specialized in what I wanted, who offered beautiful, healthy extensions, and who actually took the time to know me and care about my hair.
​
I first met Ebonie for a consultation when I was very pregnant, and I remember needing time to think, it felt like a big investment, and I told her I’d be back. After I had my baby, I tried to go somewhere cheaper… and I immediately realized the difference. The hair, the application, the experience, everything was subpar. That stylist didn’t have the training or the knowledge, and I felt it from the minute I sat in the chair. When I finally came back to Ebonie, it was a whole different story. Even during the consultation, she asked thoughtful, specific questions I’d never heard before, about shampoos, care habits, lifestyle, things no one had ever taken the time to ask. And I’ve had every type of extension. I thought I knew it all… but I didn’t.
​
Now, I actually look forward to getting my hair done. Ebonie has created an experience that makes you feel special, drinks, snacks, your favorite show, good conversation, or quiet time if you need it. And the results? Flawless. My hair isn’t just longer and thicker, it’s healthier. Even with going lighter, my natural hair has grown, isn’t breaking, and actually feels better than it ever has. That’s because she cares. She’s honest, thorough, and truly an expert. I’ve never felt more confident or more understood by a stylist. I genuinely feel lucky to be her client, and I hope she does my hair forever.

It’s been about a year since I first sat in Ebonie’s chair, and my hair has completely transformed. Before I found her, my hair was over-processed, bleached, and breaking off, I felt embarrassed and defeated. I tried tape-in extensions from another stylist, but they were heavy, visible, and didn’t match my hair at all. I knew I needed something better and healthier, so I started Googling like crazy. That’s when I found Ebonie, and her work stood out right away.
​
From our first consultation, I knew this was different. She asked thoughtful questions about my hair health, my goals, and the products I used, things no one had ever asked before. She cared about protecting what was left of my natural hair while helping me feel confident again. Over time, we added a third row, and my natural hair has been growing, softening, and feeling better than it has in years. Even when I’m a hot mess, my hair still looks and feels amazing.
​
The salon itself is so comforting and welcoming. I tend to be one of her quieter clients, but I always feel at ease. We’ve spent hours together, and now I look forward to it—not just for the hair, but for the experience. I’ve searched everywhere, and nothing in Albuquerque compares to the level of care, quality, and results I’ve found here. I’m beyond grateful for Ebonie, she’s changed not just my hair, but how I feel in my own skin.

Before I found Ebonie, I was struggling with glue-in extensions. They were painful, messy, and kept falling out, plus I had to buy brand-new hair every time I went in. They were applied wrong, stuck together in weird places, and honestly just felt awful. I knew I needed a better solution, but didn’t know where to start.
​
After researching beaded row extensions, I found Ebonie online. Even though I live in Santa Fe, the drive to Albuquerque felt worth it after reading her reviews and seeing her work. From the very first visit, she listened to everything I didn’t like about my past experience and explained exactly what she could do. I trusted her right away because she was honest and made sure I felt comfortable every step of the way.
​
Now, five years later, my hair is healthier than ever. It’s shiny, strong, and the extensions stay in without damaging my natural hair. I come back not just because the results are amazing, but because Ebonie genuinely cares. Her salon is relaxing, thoughtful, and welcoming, and she’s someone I trust completely. I won’t go anywhere else.
