HAND-TIED AND TAPE EXTENSIONS

You can wash, blowdry, straighten, curl, or put them in any upstyle like regular hair! All our extension clients receive a how-to care guide, but here’s a couple key pointers:

- Make sure you are brushing them morning, night, and before showers, so they don’t get tangled.
- Using salon exclusive products that are paraben and sulfate free, no to low alcohol content, and lightweight but effective (consult your stylist for specific products)
- Keeping heat settings for hot tools and blowdryers on medium

We offer 2 types of extension methods that can both be seamless and undetectable. They both are installed in a way that allows your natural hair to cover the wefts whether you style it down or up. It truly depends on the method used, the density of your hair, how you style your hair, as well as the length of your current hair.

Ocean water and chlorine from swimming pools can potentially decrease the life span of your extensions. The salt and chemicals can dry out the hair, leading to matting issues, as well as strip the color of your extensions. If you still plan on getting your hair wet, we have steps in our hair care sheet that you can take that will help.

Depending on the method chosen, how quickly your hair grows, natural oil production, how often you’re washing your hair, whether the extensions were chosen for functionality or for luxury, and level of activity, it can be anywhere from 6-10 weeks

It’s recommended to replace the hair every 6-9 months. Some people can wear them for up to a year, but reality is that we can’t help but be a little rough on our hair sometimes!

Reality is, we have you in our chair for 1-6 hours (depending on the service), and then we don’t see you for 6-10 weeks! It’s our job to understand the state of your natural hair and determine how and which extension method is best for you, but it’s your job to take care of them while you’re not in our chair. SO yes, it can, but we give you the guidance and education to ensure those things don’t happen.

It’s a foreign thing at first, but you get use to it! When first installed, they feel a little tight, but after a week you won’t even notice and you’ll just be gushing over your new mermaid hair!

Thick hair, thin hair, long hair, shoulder length hair. Everyone is a potential candidate and it all depends on what’s the desired look they’re going for. You can get extensions for the length and fullness you've always dreamed of, to fill in those sparse areas that don’t seem to grow, or to just add a little thickness to what you got going on. The ONE thing that we think IS important for blending purposes, is for the top layer of your hair to at least be chin length or longer. Not to say that it means you can’t get them, but naturally short hair will require a higher level of styling experience (meaning if you don’t have time to style it, these probably aren’t best for you).

It is recommended to shampoo your hair two to three times a week in the morning or during the day. It’s important to remove build up that occurs from natural oil production, skin sloughing, and styling products, to maintain a healthy scalp. If you need to shampoo in the evening, make absolutely certain that your hair is fully dry throughout the extensions before going to sleep.

Unfortunately, no. We cannot guarantee the quality or know the true source of the extensions unless they are directly purchased through us.

Initial cost, depending on method, ranges from $250-$2800 and maintenance appointments range from $180-$490. For a detailed breakdown, you can book a consult or fill out the new client extension form.
