😲Why She Actually Turns Clients Away 💇‍♀️

💖 Find out why saying "no" became their most powerful way of saying "yes" to transformation

After witnessing countless women leave salons with damaged hair and diminished self-esteem, Cass Hess channeled her years of industry expertise into creating something better. This vision materialized as Cosmos Extensions & Beauty Lounge, which opened its doors in May 2024.

The foundation of this new standard is a deep commitment to mentorship, a belief Cass solidified while guiding her own daughter, Chloe, from a new graduate to a thriving stylist. Now, every new stylist at Cosmos completes a rigorous six-month training program, ensuring that artistry and integrity are woven into every single service before they work with clients.

This philosophy means that hair health will always take precedence over profit. They carefully assess each client's natural hair to recommend only solutions it can truly support—even if that means advising against extensions entirely to protect a client's long-term hair health. The result is a transformation that goes beyond appearance, helping women restore their sense of self.

For Cass and Chloe, it’s about building a relationship based on trust and lasting results. This commitment is so complete that they offer the rare ability to re-tip and reuse extension hair, a service that provides exceptional value and underscores their dedication to the client’s entire experience.

Your own journey begins with a complimentary consultation to explore the possibilities without pressure.

🎉 Exclusively for Colorado Springs Town Tidings readers: Receive 2 complimentary signature blowout services ($120 value) with your first extension installation, helping you master caring for your beautiful new hair. 🎁
