Hair Extensions
Added length and volume
Tape-in extensions: These are 2 inch wefts lined with medical grade adhesive. 2 pieces will sandwich your natural hair and stick together. When it’s time to remove, a solution is applied to break down the bond so your stylist is able to remove the extensions. Your hair will be shampooed well and blown dry. Meanwhile, your stylist will apply fresh adhesive to the wefts and reinstall the extensions. Tape-in extensions can last 4-8 weeks before needing to be re-applied. Extension hair can be reused for up to 1 year.
I-tip extensions: These hair extensions are applied using a silicone lined metal cylinder. A small section of your natural hair gets pulled through the cylinder, then a small section of hair extension is added in. When the cylinder is clamped closed the extensions remain adhered for about 2 months. When it’s time to reinstall the extensions, the cylinders are re-opened, shedding hair is removed, and the extensions are moved up and re-clamped closed. Hair can be reused for about 6 months.
K-tip extensions: aka Keratin protein tips, are individual extensions applied to the natural hair using a hot fusion technique. They are tipped with silicone which helps protect your strands from damage. With proper care these can last up to 6 months. When it’s time to remove the extensions, a solution is applied to the bond causing it to break down. The extension hair can be thrown out and order new hair OR can be re-tipped for a fee.

First, damage to the clients scalp and hair from tension and over-direction. Second, client discomfort due to contact of beads on the scalp.

Extension hair is reusable, but a new set is recommended after 9-12 months depending on at home care with use of professional brand styling products and tools.
