How do I decide on my extension length?

For example, if your height is 5’4” and under 22” will be to the top of your behind.

How do I decide on my texture?

I always recommend a texture closest to your natural hair for the best blend. Natural Straight, wavy, curly and kinky straight are my default textures. If there is another texture on this texture ring you would like, add the texture to your order notes or contact me.

What if I need my extensions color or texture matched?

The default color is 1b which is a natural dark brown/natural black brown. I offer color and texture customization if there is another color or texture you would like, a consultation is required.

Why do I have to shampoo my extensions prior to installing them?

The texture is different from the factory state than its natural normal state, The top textures are the textures in its factory stare, the bottom textures are the textures washed and prepped. Textures will appear different once prepped and not in its factory state.

How long do the extensions last?

Tape Ins & Wevaes lasts up to 8 weeks, Microlinks lasts up to 12 weeks and Itips lasts up to 24 weeks and Ktips last 6 months. The longevity of your install depends on the rate of your hair growth, proper care and routine maintenance.

How often should i come back for maintenance

Every 4 weeks for microlinks, every 6 weeks for itips and every 8 weeks for tape-ins. Routine shampoos should be performed for all extensions, every 2-3 weeks for the best results.

Is at home care required?

At home care is required just like maintenance is required. Detangle your hair at least twice daily (morning and night) but do not comb from the roots comb underneath the extension, shampoo luxury extensions every 2-3 weeks low maintenance extensions ever 3-4 weeks, wrap your hair or use a silk pillow case at night, do not sleep with your extensions in a bun, don’t just wet your hair and go without detangling, don’t put a lot of heat on your to avoid heat damage.

Is there a required hair length for the extensions?

Yes, your hair perimeter must have full coverage and be long enough to cover the extension.

Is a shampoo included with my service?

All services are full services which means a shampoo, complimentary trim and complimentary beverage is included with all services. Except quick weaves and sew-ins, click full service add on to include shampoo in service. Hair treatments, hair steams, and scalp massages are add ons.

Is there a certain hair texture that tape ins or microlinks are suited for?

All methods are great for ALL hair textures. A texture match is ideal when selecting the proper install method. I don't recommend these services for client’s who don’t like their natural hair or if your natural hair isn’t trained to stay straight when heat is applied.

Do any of these extensions strip or damage your hair?

No, all extensions are healthy and natural methods that stimulate hair growth. Although, they all stimulate hair growth, none of these luxury extension services are protective styles. Failure to keep up with your maintenance is the only way you can possible cause damage, that’s why maintenance is required and highly important. The main goal is to wear luxury hair extensions while protecting the integrity of your natural hair.

What method will allow me to wear a middle/side part, half up half down, ponytail and bun?

All extension methods offer versatility depending on your hair length, except weaves unless they’re versatile.

Can I take my extensions out myself at home?

NO! Trying to take out your own tape ins or links can result in hair loss/damage. A LICENSED Professional must remove them. I am not responsible for any damage if you remove or damage your extensions yourself.

Can I shampoo my extensions at home?

Yes. Take care of and treat your extensions as if it is your real hair. Don't just slip a scarf on like a sew in on a bad hair day or just wet and go. Comb your extensions at least twice daily, add a lot oil to the ends if needed. Tape extensions must not be wet the first 48-72 hours, use alcohol free hair products and products not containing excessive oils.

How do I tie my extensions up at night?

I recommend a silk scarf, bonnet and pillow case. You can wrap you hair in a circle, put in a bonnet, leave out or twists. The goal is to keep your hair as flat as possible to avoid heat every day. Do not sleep with your extensions in a bun and be sure to detangle twice a day.

How to avoid using heat when my silk press gets oily?

Wrap your hair up at night for the longevity of your silk press and to avoid flat ironing your hair every day. Use dry shampoo if your hair gets oily in between touch ups.
