ARE EXTENSIONS ONLY FOR CLIENTS WHO WANT LONGER HAIR?
The beautiful thing about extensions is they can be customized to your hair goal. Whether you want to add fullness or length, they are a great option.
​
HOW OFTEN WOULD I NEED TO REPLACE MY HAIR EXTENSIONS?
Depending on how well you care for your hair extensions, you can expect the hair to last 3-4 move ups with move ups being maintained every 8-12 weeks depending on clients hair growth. As you can imagine, the rougher you are on your hair extensions the sooner they will need to be replaced.
HOW DO I PAY FOR MY EXTENSIONS?
A retainer will be needed to secure your initial install appointment. The retainer is non-transferable and non-refundable. Cost of hair will be included in the retainer and not be purchased until paid in full. Hair is non refundable once purchased. Please schedule a free consultation to go over any cost of hair and services as well as color matching.
HOW OFTEN WOULD I NEED TO HAVE MY EXTENSIONS ADJUSTED/MOVED UP?
Depending on your hair growth, your hair extensions will need to be adjusted every 8-12 weeks. This 2-3 hour appointment will include removing the extensions and re-installing them on a newly sewn-in base.
CAN I WEAR MY HAIR UP?
Yes absolutely! Hand tide extensions are designed for active people. No need to worry about wearing your hair up in a high ponytail and stressing your scalp or hair. Nothing to hide! You're in good hands with the method I use.
WHAT ARE THE BEST HAIR PRODUCTS FOR MY HAIR EXTENSIONS?
Using a sulfate free hydrating shampoo and conditioner is highly recommended to prolong your hair and hair extension color. Sound familiar? All product recommendations can be purchased through me at my salon suite.
Shampoo gently between the rows, no need for vigorous scrubbing. Wash days vary for every client and could range from 3-7 days. A heat protectant such as IN COMMON Magic Myst is also recommended to prevent any styling damage.
WILL THEY DAMAGE MY HAIR?
When proper installation is taken in to consideration and at home care is maintained, extensions should not cause damage.
HOW DO I CARE FOR MY EXTENSIONS AT HOME?
You will need to use a professional extension brush to avoid breakage and damage to hair. Firmly hold the top of each row when brushing with your fingers and brush in a downward motion. Do not sleep with wet or damp hair. When sleeping braiding or styling your hair into a bun before bed is very important to protect hair from damage while sleeping. Please avoid sunscreen or any products containing coconut, especially coconut oil. Do not submerge or dip hair into chlorine or salt water.
WHAT IS THE BEST WAY TO STYLE MY HAIR EXTENSIONS?
After washing, rough blow-dry your hair until about 80% of it is completely dry. Do not stress the extensions with a round brush or comb, just use your hands. Once dry style as normal. My favorite hot tool is my Bio Ionic 1.25" Curling Iron.
