What is the difference between the hair extension installs?

Weaves Best low maintenance install for adding length and volume with all your hair braided underneath.  2 methods one with thread and the other with adhesive. Lasts anywhere up to 4-8 weeks, I recommend removing at 4 weeks.

Tape Ins (Keratin Strip Extensions)

Seamless, lightweight, tension free and high maintenance install for clients with fine to medium hair densities. Pre-taped extensions with medical grade keratin glue attaches to the root of your hair for length and volume. Versatile capabilities. Lasts 6 up to 8 weeks, with bi-weekly maintenance for the best results then a new install is required! Don’t wet tapes for first 72 hours, alcohol free products only.

Up to 60 Tape-Ins (150 grams/3packs) recommended for fine hair, a natural look or just length

Up to 80 Tape-Ins (200 grams/4packs) recommended for fine to medium hair for natural fullness

Up to 100 Tape-Ins (250 grams/5packs) recommended for medium to thick hair for fuller fullness

Up to 120 Tape-Ins (300 grams/6packs) recommended for thick hair and maximum fullness

Depends on the space the head allows, the size of your head, density and how much longer you are going from your natural hair

Microlinks

• Single weft/Microlinks: installs wefts/bundles by individual strands using microbeads. Perfect for clients with fine to medium hair looking to add volume and length.

• Double weft/Braidless Sew-in: microbeads are attached to the root to sew wefts/bundles onto the bead. This is the only install that uses thread. Perfect for clients with medium to thick hair and blunt cuts looking to add maximum volume and length.

 2 bundles natural microlink install and 3 bundles for maximum fullness.

Versatile capabilities. Microlink maintenance is required every 4 weeks, with bi-weekly maintenance for the best results lasting up to 12 weeks.

How do I decide on my extension length?

For example, if your height is 5’4” and under 22” will be to the top of your behind.

How do I decide on my texture?

I always recommend a texture closest to your natural hair for the best blend, I provide natural straight, wavy, curly and kinky straight.

What if I need my extensions color or texture matched?

The default color is 1b which is a natural dark brown/natural black brown. Any other colors will need to be colored.

Why do I have to shampoo my extensions prior to installing them?

Textures may appear different once prepped or have better results.

How long do the extensions last?

Tape Ins & Wevaes lasts up to 6-8 weeks and Microlinks lasts up to 12 weeks. The longevity of your install depends on the rate of your hair growth, proper care and routine maintenance.

How often should i come back for maintenance

Every 4 weeks for microlinks, every 6-8 weeks for tape-ins. Routine shampoos should be performed, every 2-3 weeks for the best results.

Is at home care required?

At home care is required just like maintenance is required. Detangle your hair at least twice daily (morning and night) but do not comb from the roots comb underneath the extension, shampoo luxury extensions every 2-3 weeks low maintenance extensions ever 3-4 weeks, wrap your hair or use a silk pillow case at night, do not sleep with your extensions in a bun, don’t just wet your hair and go without detangling, don’t put a lot of heat on your to avoid heat damage.

Is there a required hair length for the extensions?

Yes, your hair perimeter must have full coverage and be long enough to cover the extension.

Is a shampoo included with my service?

All services are full services which means a shampoo and complimentary trim are included with all services. Except specials.

Is there a certain hair texture that tape ins or microlinks are suited for?

All methods are great for ALL hair textures. I don't recommend these services for client’s who don’t like their natural hair or if your natural hair isn’t trained to stay straight when heat is applied.

Do any of these extensions strip or damage your hair?

No, all extensions are healthy and natural methods that stimulate hair growth. Although, they all stimulate hair growth, none of these luxury extension services are protective styles. Failure to keep up with your maintenance is the only way you can possible cause damage, that’s why maintenance is required and highly important. The main goal is to wear luxury hair extensions while protecting the integrity of your natural hair.

What method will allow me to wear a middle/side part, half up half down, ponytail and bun?

All extension methods offer versatility depending on your hair length, except weaves unless they’re versatile.

Can I take my extensions out myself at home?

NO! Trying to take out your own tape ins or links can result in hair loss/damage. A LICENSED Professional must remove them. I am not responsible for any damage if you remove or damage your extensions yourself.

Can I shampoo my extensions at home?

Yes. Take care of and treat your extensions as if it is your real hair. Don't just slip a scarf on like a sew in on a bad hair day or just wet and go. Comb your extensions at least twice daily, add oil to the ends if needed. Tape extensions must not be wet the first 48-72 hours, use alcohol free hair products and products not containing excessive oils.

How do I tie my extensions up at night?

I recommend a silk scarf, bonnet and pillow case. You can wrap you hair in a circle, put in a bonnet, leave out or twists. The goal is to keep your hair as flat as possible to avoid heat every day. Do not sleep with your extensions in a bun and be sure to detangle twice a day.

How to avoid using heat when my silk press gets oily?

Wrap your hair up at night for the longevity of your silk press and to avoid flat ironing your hair every day. Use dry shampoo if your hair gets oily in between touch ups.
