Hair Extensions

So, you’re thinking about hair extensions! For many people, hair extensions can fulfill a lifelong dream to have beautiful hair. Extensions may be used to make a subtle change in style or an outrageous fashion statement. It’s such a thrill to see someone go from short to long hair in just a few hours. Now you can experience length, fullness and style like never before!

Hair extensions are great for getting your hair through those awkward “grow out” stages that everyone hates. Most people will simply opt for cutting it off rather than endure this period of “no style” limbo.

Certain types of extension methods may not be appropriate for thinning hair in the front or crown of the head. This situation may call for a top pieces or hair integration system.

Hair extensions may seem costly at first. This is the Rolls Royce of salon services, so it’s important to create a budget for it, including maintenance appointments. Many clients who are heavily into chemical hair services seem to think that the cost is relatively close over a period of one to two years. This and the fact that many of these same clients grow their hair out in better condition than ever, makes it worth the extra expense. Yes, wearing hair extensions does mean more money and more time spent on yourself … but hey! … aren’t you worth it!

The Methods We Use – Our cylinder system is strand by strand applied without the use of glue,  heat or chemicals.  Instead,  small copper cylinders are used to gently bond the extensions to the client's hair. We also use strand on strand which is when small sections of additional hair is attached to small sections of the clients natural hair next to the scalp with a hot adhesive made specifically for the hair. This method lasts from two to four months depending on the texture and care of the client’s hair. It is the most comfortable and natural looking of the hair addition methods. We also offer the latest system called “Seamless”. These go on in under two hours and last 4-6 weeks. Your artist can help you choose the method best suited for you. We only use the finest extension hair available. And color match every client so no one will know but you!
