I’m Marinela, the extension specialist behind Bond Studio NY.

A licensed cosmetologist trained at the Aveda Institute, I bring over 14 years of industry experience shaped by work in leading New York salons, including Ted Gibson Salon on Fifth Avenue and Antonio Prieto. My background includes styling for editorial projects, Fashion Week, and high-profile clientele, where precision and discretion were essential.

After becoming a mother, I transitioned into private practice, allowing me to create a more intentional and personalized client experience. During this time, I earned a degree in Marketing from Baruch College, deepening my understanding of brand, communication, and client care.

My specialization in ICE (cold fusion) extensions developed from a commitment to hair integrity and refined, natural-looking results. I also offer Custom Micro K-Tips when they are better suited to a client’s hair and individual goals. I work exclusively with high-quality Slavic hair, selecting methods that prioritize natural movement, longevity, and the health of your own hair.

As someone who wears extensions myself, I approach every installation with both technical precision and personal understanding.

Bond Studio NY was created to offer a discreet, elevated extension experience—where artistry, quality, and intention come first.
