Matt Tarrant Co-Founder
During my 30 years of representing successful salon brands I have admired and envied some very talented and charismatic stylists who lived their vision of what hair and art meant to their clients.
I admired their skill and energy and envied their ability to impact their client’s experience in their chair, and even in between salon visits.
Now I am thrilled to have the opportunity to live my own vision of how to delight clients.
I have founded Extensions Today, in partnership with my friend JD, ( a hair expert of 15 years experience), and we are selling extensions online to stylists only, not going through distributors or salespeople, and using those savings to offer great hair at a great price.
Our Education Program was created by an extensions specialist who maintains a personal extensions clientele of 60 separate people and she teaches the techniques and behaviors that led to this level of extensions business. Our online education includes recorded classes, interactive webinars for 5 people at a time, and is supported by regional hands-on classes.
I believe that great stylists who are successful behind the chair are the best people to educate other stylists. My role is to connect with those great stylists and empower them to deliver that expertise to other stylists in an affordable and accessible manner.
I want to help stylists have the career of their dreams while being true to my core values of mutual respect, honesty and loyalty.
I will measure my success by the number of stylists that feel I am a part of what made them more successful.
I would love to connect with you and explore how I can best help you.
Kindest regards,
Matt

My Hair Industry experience :
Been born and brought up in India and having worked in the corporate sector for 10 years before migrating to the US in 2008 I had a great exposure and connections to the hair sourcing industry in India. [ India is the only country where people donate hair because of their religious beliefs which makes it the biggest source of raw unprocessed hair]. After coming to the US and exploring the hair industry I soon realized that most of the companies selling extensions in the US had their manufacturing done in India or China with a very little product know how and quality control. That prompted me to start my own sourcing and manufacturing of hair extensions in India and wholesaling in the US under the name THE VIRGIN HAIR EXPERTS.
My company initially catered to the conventional extensions market. Since than in the last 10 years I have traveled across the world in order to source the best human hair and develop a sourcing network that's second to none today. We are not only a reputable name in the conventional extensions wholesale market but also a supplier of raw hair to many reputed brands across the globe.
How Extensions Today Was Formed :
Matt and I started working together a couple years ago when he approached me in order to develop extensions for his company. Having worked together on various projects since then we realized that we both shared the same values and vision towards providing flawless top of the line extensions at a reasonable price. When we combined Matt's tremendous background and experience in the hair industry with my manufacturing expertise and sourcing network across the world we had little doubt that not only we will be able to offer a top quality product but also be able to do it at a very reasonable price to the salons backed by a top of the line Education programme. Today we launch Extensions Today with a vision of making it a one stop shop in coming years by offering quality products suitable to various demographics at an affordable price.
