Apply for Detroit Regional Access | About the Brand
Why Detroit is a Strong Kelly Maxwell Market
Detroit and the surrounding metro are one of the strongest premium-extension markets in the Great Lakes region. The city's revitalization, Birmingham and Bloomfield Hills affluent demographic, and Detroit-proper salon resurgence create consistent install demand.
Royal Oak, Birmingham, Bloomfield Hills, Grosse Pointe, and Downtown Detroit each support distinct salon demographics. The market rewards stylists offering premium hand-tied and mesh closure work to a quality-aware clientele.
What an Approved Detroit Stylist Receives
Approval is granted at the city or sub-market level. Once approved, the Detroit stylist gets:
- Regional exclusivity inside the Detroit metro. Your salon is not competing with the salon next door using the same brand. Other extension lines saturate. Kelly Maxwell protects.
- Full catalog access. 32 affirmation shades across hand-tied wefts, matching mesh closures, foundation materials, beads, tools, and install supplies.
- Custom-rooted wefts from the factory. The root color match is done before the weft ships, so you spend chair time installing instead of root-touching.
- True double-drawn density at 60%. Twice the industry standard. Ends look as full as the mid-shaft after a year of wear.
- 10-inch weft width. Engineered to eliminate the gram-loss most stylists hit when cutting down 12 or 14-inch wefts from other suppliers.
- Mesh and meshless install systems. The brand supports both methodologies through the Mesh + Meshless Kit and the Mesh Essentials Bundle.
- Hair-replacement and hair-loss support. The brand's founder specializes in hair loss services and has built the catalog to support stylists growing into that specialty.
The Complete Product Universe for Detroit Stylists
Every approved Detroit stylist gets access to the full line, not a starter kit. Below is what that covers:
Wefts and Mesh Closures
32 affirmation-named shades in hand-tied wefts (10-inch width, 18 to 30-inch lengths, 60% double-drawn density, custom rooted). Each shade has a matching 3x5 mesh closure at 33 grams, finished at low density to disappear into the Detroit client's natural hairline.
Meshless Systems and Kits
For Detroit stylists offering both mesh and meshless install methodologies, the Mesh + Meshless Kit and Mesh Essentials Bundle ship as full systems, not starter packs.
Foundation Materials, Tools, and Supplies
Mesh fabric in small and X-large hole formats, PU fabric, Swiss 40-denier ventilating lace, and toupee lace for stylists doing custom-built pieces and hair replacement work. Plus full tool catalog (Bead Crusher, K-Tip fusion tool, Golden Scissor, Pliers, Ventilating hook, Crochet hook) and supplies (Mesh + Meshless Install Tape, Thread, Invisible Thread, Wig Block Pins).
Beads, Loops, and Education
Aluminum silicone-lined beads in five color matches and two sizes (2mm and 3mm), Nano Beads, Pre-Looped Nano Beads, Rounded Wire Loops, and Twisted Metal Loops. Education tools include the Hair Loss Mannequin Head and Malleable Head Block for Detroit stylists growing into hair replacement work.
