WHAT TYPE OF EXTENSIONS ARE RIGHT FOR YOU?
We are passionate about the art of hair extensions. Our team continually seeks education in the latest techniques and application methods to provide comfortable, seamless, and damage-free human hair extensions that enhance any look and style. Our highly trained and certified stylists specialize in tape-in, beaded row, i-tip, and k-tip extensions.
Beaded Row Extensions
Beaded row extensions are one of the most popular methods in hair extension trends. This technique offers a fast, damage-free, and nearly invisible application. Available with machine or hand-tied wefts, we custom order hair for each client based on their texture, goals, and density.
- Application Time: 1-3 hours
- Maintenance: 6 weeks
Tape-in Extensions
Tape-in extensions offer limitless possibilities for enhancing your look. Whether you're correcting and filling in damaged areas, adding volume, or creating a complete transformation, tape-in extensions can do it all. These extensions are extremely comfortable and lay flat against your head, with multiple sizes and tape options to cater to clients with even the finest hair. We offer tape-in extensions specifically balanced and designed for hair that may be too weak for other extension methods.
- Application Time: 1-2 hours
- Maintenance: Every 6 weeks
Keratin Bond and I-tip Extensions
We recommend using keratin bond and i-tip extensions in combination with our other application methods to achieve seamless and natural results. These extensions are perfect for the crown area or hairline, where larger bonds might be more visible, providing a discreet and polished look. Keratin bond and i-tip extensions blend effortlessly with your natural hair, adding volume and length precisely where you need it most.
- Application Time: 1-3 hours
- Maintenance: Every 4-8 weeks
EXTENSIONS FAQ
- Do extensions damage my hair?
- No, not if properly installed and cared for. We specifically chose the methods we offer because they are virtually damage free. Hair health is our #1 priority. Schedule a complimentary consultation to let us help you decide why method is best for your hair.
- Can I wear my hair up with extensions?
- For many people, the answer is yes! We offer many methods that will allow you to wear buns, braids, and other up styles. Everyone can wear their extensions in a low braid or bun. Half up styles, pig-tails, braids, and high messy buns ultimately come down to to your hair density around your hairline. We always do everything possible to give you as much freedom as your hair allows when it comes to variety in styling.
- Can I go swimming with my extensions?
- We don’t recommend investing in your hair color and diving in the ocean or pool, and we don’t recommend it for hair extensions either. Not only can it alter the color, it can cause matting or result in dissolving the bonds. Wear a braid and a hat, drink a mojito, and thank us later.
- Are extensions expensive?
- The art of hair extensions comes in many forms, and the cost depends on your desired look and outcome. The length, density, and end goal all come in to play when it comes to pricing. We offer methods from $200-$1500+. Your pricing and maintenance costs can be discussed during your complimentary consultation. Your hair is the only accessory you own that you wear every day. I probably don’t need to tell you this but… you deserve it.
- How do I wash and style my extensions?
- Just like normal! It’s real, human hair. Just take extra care to make sure you properly rinse your scalp when shampooing, and use heat protectant when styling to get the most longevity. Many people find they need to wash and style their hair less when they wear extensions, as they hold their style so well. We always say “it’s high maintenance to be low maintenance.”
- Can I let my extensions air dry?
- Yes! One of our favorite things about hair extensions is our ability to match your hair density and texture with the right application method. We’ve installed extensions on clients from fine, smooth hair to full natural curl, with a seamless blend every time. With the health of your hair always being our top priority, we love using extensions as a way to help our guests embrace their natural texture, resulting in less heat styling and ultimately healing and growing your own natural hair.
- How often do I come back for maintenance?
- That totally depends on your hair! The average maintenance cycle is between 4-12 weeks, depending on your method and how fast your hair grows. Usually, it lines up with your color service! Maintenance appointments for extension services add an average of 1.5 hours to your regular hair appointment,
