Frequently Asked Questions

In your consultation I go over your desired hair inspiration and thoroughly check your natural density, length and texture which determines the amount of hair recommended, along with the custom sizing of bonds and estimated wear time. This in turn allows confirmation if your hair goal will be attainable or if it needs to be shifted to another look. I also review hair history and health matters, i.e., medications, anesthesia, postpartum, cancer treatment/recovery, and surgeries that may affect hair loss. Next, your custom color palette is selected along with the planning for any custom or pre-blended strands. Finally, your reservation deposit is completed to hold your day of service.

Most guests request volume or fuller and longer hair, however, there are circumstances where extensions can be especially helpful. They can aid the grow out process of short haircuts or chemical damage, or be utilized to add chemical-free color. The patented synthetic keratin bond protects your natural hair in a rice-sized cocoon.

All the prepping is done in the salon—just come in ready to relax and hang out for a while.

Yes, they can be sized into fine, extra fine, and extra extra fine sizes to match density in this category. The wear time will be shortened to an estimated 2-3 months.

The consultation determines the method based on lifestyle and maintenance goals.

With keratin bonds there is no maintenance. Home care, especially brushing, is top priority to ensuring a healthy wear. Based on the density and length, sets can be worn anywhere from 2-6 months. When the wear time is up, a removal visit is scheduled. Just like your installation, they are also removed one at a time. It is imperative a professional performs this service. The hair cannot be reused—either a new set is then installed or they are just removed. Any color or cutting services will be performed later.

As long as your natural density is supporting the strand attached, with no tangles or matting they can be worn on average 4-6 months and then replaced. If you naturally have less density the wear time is shorter.

Cold Fusion applications use an ultrasonic vibration tong, while thermal applications use a tong that is heated for application.

Yes, based on strategic placement no bonds will be visible. Lower loose ponytails are recommended when your set is newer to avoid tension. As they grow out it’s ok to wear up higher, remembering to avoid tight styles.

Swimming isn’t highly recommended, however if you do braid and pre-wet your hair with shower water and leave-in conditioner. After swimming apply anti tap and leave in conditioner until you’re able to wash and mask.

Only use mineral based sunscreens. Brands containing avobenzone will turn extensions peach.
