HAIR EXTENSIONS

​

Hair extensions can be used to add length, volume and color to your hair.

The first step is a FREE consultation to determine if hair extensions are right for you. Consultations usually take about 20 minutes and, after taking a thorough history of your hair and answering any questions you may have, we will work with you to determine which type of extension would help you achieve your desired look. The extensions used will match your natural color and texture so that they will be virtually undetectable and easy to maintain. We currently offer 4 different methods of human hair application.

​

If you want to have your extensions put in the same day as your consultation, our hair extensions salon can usually accommodate your request as we carry a large selection of hair and have most colors and textures in stock at all times.

We currently offer four different methods of application.

 

 

1. Our KERATIN/FUSION hair extensions are the most durable-long lasting and low maintenance.  We match real 100% human hair in the same texture and color of your natural hair and apply it small strands. The bond is about the size of a grain of rice so they are free moving  and you are able to wear your hair many different ways. With proper home care they will stay in your hair 3-4 months or longer. This method takes 2-3 hours to apply. We have 5 different packages to choose from, based on how much hair you want to add. The packages range in price starts  $300 and vases based on customization, length, and thickness desired.  . Some of the brands we use for this method include Great Lengths, Bellami Professional, Babes, SHE by SoCap and Cinderella.

 

2. Our Tape-In extension service is called the Instant Mermaid. We call it Instant because it only takes about an hour to get a full head of extensions, so you can have long hair instantly! These extensions are applied to your hair in strips with a medical grade adhesive and are sometimes called “seamless” extensions because they lay flat and seamlessly blend into your natural hair.  They are made of real remy human hair,  and are excellent quality. We offer brands like Hairtalk, Bellami, Babes, Dreamcatchers, Cinderella, and Great Lengths.  The cost is $550 for a full head of 21" long, or only $850 for 25'″ long. They remain in your hair for 6-8 weeks and you can come back and have the same hair re-applied up to 3 more times for only $160.

 

3. ITips Hair Extensions are a nice alternative to fusion bond extensions and are sometimes called micro-links, I-tips or bead hair extensions. These are attached in small strands to your own natural hair using color coated beads to attach link strands to your natural hair. This process uses no heat, glue, or weaving with extensions lasting up to 2-3 months in your hair and can be re-applied up to 2 more times. The package prices range from $500 depending on how much hair length and fullness you desire . The brands we use for this method are Dreamcatchers, Bellami, and  Babes,  

 

4. The newest type of extensions we are offering is Bellami Professional Beaded weft. These are wefts of hair that are attached to your natural hair with small silicone-lined beads.  The weft adds maximum volume and length. The application takes about 2 hours and the cost is $850 for 20″ and up depending on length and thickness desired. You will need to come in every 4-6 weeks to have the tracks moved up. The cost for a move ups is $100 and re-application is $250. With proper care you can continue to use the hair for up to a year. We use Bellami Professional Volume Wefts for this method, but can offer Machine tied or hand tied hair well. 

 

Note that ALL of our hair extensions are sold as a complete package.

 

We start with a deep cleansing shampoo and clarifying treatment, and once the application process is complete your hair will be cut to the desired length and styled.  We will suggest a take-home kit that contains everything you need to take care of your new hair.

What is Balayage?

'Balayage is a French word meaning "to sweep" or "to paint"', explains Howard. 'It allows for a sun-kissed natural-looking hair colour, similar to what nature gives us as children.'

​

What's the difference between Balayage and Ombré?

'Balayage is a French word that means to sweep or paint; it's a highlighting technique. Ombré means to shadow, and it's a seamless gradiation from darker to lighter,' explains Howard. 'People do get confused by the two but you can also combine them in a merged technique which can be very pretty.'

Sombré is a much softer version of ombré and is still popular, especially with the charcoal grey trend.

 

What's the difference between Balayage and highlights?

Balayage has softer, less noticeable regrowth lines than traditional highlights - the principal idea being less is more when creating soft, natural looks. There's no stripy look like you can get with foil highlights, Balayage emulates the parts of your hair that would naturally lighten in the sun.

 

Why is Balayage better?

'Since 2010 I've been saying that foil highlights are dying out - it's such an 80's look and certainly not something the modern woman wants,' says Howard. 'Look at most A-list celebs and you rarely see a classic foil highlight, you see Balayage and merged techniques like ombre and Balayage, or Babylights and balayage.

'These techniques work with the individual's haircut and natural hair growth patterns as well as the variance of tones in the hair, for a totally bespoke finish. Because it's hand-painted, your colourist can choose the placements to best complement your haircut, skin and features so it looks really natural rather than actually coloured. 

'It's also super speedy, meaning you don't have to sit so long in the chair, and it grows out beautifully meaning less maintenance, so less frequent appointments.
