The mother of four tells PEOPLE that she recently brought her 8-month-old, Frankie, with her to work at The Plan, the salon she owns in Holyoke, Massachusetts.<\/p>\n<p>While at the salon, Falcetti says she and her receptionist were laughing around and decided to film a TikTok featuring Frankie. \u201cWe put a salon cape on her just for laughs,\u201d she explains. \u201cOne of our extension clients kindly let us borrow some hair, and from there the idea just took off.\u201d<\/p>\n<div class=\"code-block code-block-2\"><\/div>\n<p>In the now-viral video, Frankie sits upright in a salon chair as her mom attaches hair extensions to the back of her head. Falcetti then places a beanie on Frankie so it looks like the long extensions are her real hair, zooming in on the baby\u2019s fascinated expression. Moments later, Frankie breaks into a smile and starts clapping, clearly delighted by the attention.<\/p>\n<p>The clip was captioned: \u201cFresh new pair of 22s for tha babyyy #beingagirlisfun.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Falcetti admits she hoped the video might help bring some visibility to her small business. \u201cWe thought, who doesn\u2019t love adorable baby content?\u201d she says. \u201cIt was totally spontaneous, but it felt playful and harmless at the time.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>According to Falcetti, Frankie is an especially calm and easygoing baby. As the youngest of four, she was \u201cjust along for the ride and enjoying all the attention.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cShe sat perfectly, loved watching herself in the mirror, and was genuinely interested in what we were doing,\u201d Falcetti adds.<\/p>\n<div class=\"code-block code-block-3\"><\/div>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-109906\" src=\"https:\/\/iq23.ru\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/baby-extensions-2-020426-7b543cffa36d48a6a711d201a2c6e8d6-200x300.webp\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 200px) 100vw, 200px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/iq23.ru\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/baby-extensions-2-020426-7b543cffa36d48a6a711d201a2c6e8d6-200x300.webp 200w, https:\/\/iq23.ru\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/baby-extensions-2-020426-7b543cffa36d48a6a711d201a2c6e8d6.webp 1000w\" alt=\"\" width=\"200\" height=\"300\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-109907\" src=\"https:\/\/iq23.ru\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/baby-extensions-5-020426-d44ddcc1972c47e8b80283b084fa7954-200x300.webp\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 200px) 100vw, 200px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/iq23.ru\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/baby-extensions-5-020426-d44ddcc1972c47e8b80283b084fa7954-200x300.webp 200w, https:\/\/iq23.ru\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/baby-extensions-5-020426-d44ddcc1972c47e8b80283b084fa7954.webp 1000w\" alt=\"\" width=\"200\" height=\"300\" \/><\/p>\n<blockquote id=\"v18335428357457070\" class=\"tiktok-embed\" cite=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@chelseafalcetti\/video\/7598625125763681591\" data-video-id=\"7598625125763681591\"><p><iframe src=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/embed\/v2\/7598625125763681591?lang=en-US&amp;referrer=https%3A%2F%2Fiq23.ru%2F2026%2F02%2F06%2Fan-8-month-old-baby-became-an-internet-sensation-after-her-hairstylist-mom-jokingly-gave-her-a-fresh-set-of-22-inch-hair-extensions%2F%3Ffbclid%3DIwZXh0bgNhZW0CMTAAYnJpZBExU2d2S0hMUjJQaFpHQUJDR3NydGMGYXBwX2lkEDIyMjAzOTE3ODgyMDA4OTIAAR4fpJvwqEWWrDaUX0whKQ8Dha3Izt6sFoTovvlrZFMMha-nHi-eaq8iX3raxw_aem_nDW3_fQPnRecB9AUGKFEMQ\" name=\"__tt_embed__v18335428357457070\" sandbox=\"allow-popups allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox allow-scripts allow-top-navigation allow-same-origin\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"><\/iframe><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div class=\"post-views content-post post-109904 entry-meta load-static\"><\/div>\n<\/article>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Chelsea Falcetti, 34, never imagined a playful moment with her baby daughter would blow up online.
