I got certified to do hand tied extensions in 2019 and it was a game changer for me! As a hairstylist, I am always excited to learn new techniques and keep up with the latest trends. I didn't expect to fall in love with doing extensions in the way that I have. I have many clients that come to me feeling self conscious about their hair and seeing their face light up after a transformation will never get old!
FAQs
What is the investment?
The initial investment depends on your goal and how many wefts are needed. If you are only wanting to add thickness, you will need one row which will start at $500. For length, you will need at least 2 rows and starts at $1,000. An in person consultation is required to book your first extension appointment. After the consultation, you will pay a deposit that is needed to order your hair.
What is the installation process like?
A row of beads are put in your hair and the wefts are sewn into the beads. This method is so popular because no damage is involved unlike other types of extensions!
What is included in an extension appointment?
I love to take pictures of transformations so I always start out with a before picture! If you have not already had your color done to match the extensions, we will do it day the day of your extension appointment. Extensions will be done before or after color depending on what color service is needed. Texturizing is also needed to ensure everything blends seamlessly. Finally, styling is also included to make it perfect for photos!
What is the maintenance?
Move ups depend on your hair type, but is typically 6-8 weeks. One row is $200 and each additional row is $100. 1-2 rows is standard, however some will require 3.
Recommended Products and Hair Care
Products should be paraben and sulfate free! Hydration is so important for the longevity of your extensions. Invest in a leave in treatment, hair oil/serum, and a hair mask. Keep hair out of chlorine and salt water and always use a heat protectant when out in the sun or heat styling your hair. Extensions should never be bleached and should only be colored by a professional. Purple shampoo should be used limitedly. To prevent tangling, brush your hair daily and if you are prone to tangles, it is recommended to sleep with it in a braid.
