Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about our premium hair extension services
Here are some frequently asked questions (FAQs) about premium quality hair extensions, including naturally beaded rows, hand-tied wefts, and genius wefts:
What are hand-tied hair extensions?
Hand-tied hair extensions involve attaching wefts of hair to your natural hair by sewing them onto a row of beads placed along the scalp. This method avoids the use of adhesives or heat, resulting in a natural look and feel.
How do naturally beaded rows (NBR) differ from other extension methods?
NBR extensions use minimal adhesive, relying instead on small, lightweight beads to secure wefts to your natural hair. This technique reduces potential damage and offers a fuller, more natural appearance compared to methods that use glue or tape.
What are genius wefts?
Genius wefts are a type of hair extension known for their thin, lightweight construction, allowing for a seamless blend with natural hair. They can be customized in color and weight to suit individual preferences.
How long do hand-tied extensions last?
With proper care and maintenance, hand-tied hair extensions can last between 6 to 12 months. Regular maintenance appointments every 6 to 9 weeks are recommended to keep them looking their best.
Will extensions damage my natural hair?
When installed and maintained correctly by a trained professional, methods like hand-tied extensions and NBR are designed to minimize damage to your natural hair. It's essential to follow proper care routines and attend regular maintenance appointments to ensure hair health.
Can I style and color my hair extensions?
Yes, high-quality human hair extensions can be styled and colored similarly to your natural hair. However, it's advisable to consult with your stylist before applying any chemical treatments to ensure compatibility and maintain the integrity of the extensions.
How are hand-tied extensions installed?
The process involves sectioning your natural hair, placing small silicone-lined beads along the desired area, and then sewing the wefts of hair extensions onto these beads. This method ensures a secure and natural-looking result.
What is the maintenance routine for these extensions?
Maintain your extensions by brushing regularly, washing with sulfate-free shampoos and conditioners, and avoiding excessive heat styling. Sleeping with your hair in a loose braid or ponytail and using a silk pillowcase can also help prevent tangling.
How much do premium hair extensions cost?
The cost varies based on factors like the type of extensions, the amount of hair needed, and your salon's location. Generally, hand-tied extensions can range from $750 to $3000 for the initial installation, with maintenance appointments costing less.
Are there any risks associated with hair extensions?
Potential risks include allergic reactions to materials used, scalp irritation, or damage from improper installation or maintenance. Choosing a certified and experienced stylist and adhering to recommended care practices can mitigate these risks.
