Extensions
Hair extensions are our greatest passion. Everyday we see what a powerful impact they make on peoples lives, instantly empowering and restoring confidence. Clients no longer have to wait years to grow out a hair style they don’t like or have to feel frustrated by genetic, hormonal or stress hair loss. Hair extensions are the ultimate resource for instant gratification and immediate relief.
Many people have hair that will not grow beyond a certain length. It’s a powerful and incredibly rewarding feeling to give people the hair they want to have, vs the hairstyle or length they think they ‘have to have’. We love hair extensions and the ability they have to help people feel like “themselves again” or an even more confident version of themself; for them to look in the mirror with joy and excitement when they finally see the reflection they recognize.

Everyone has different hair and lifestyles, which is why offering multiple methods of hair extensions is paramount. It’s all about options and customization. An in-person consultation is always required to determine the best method for your client.
Tape-in extensions
Great for fragile/fine/thin/compromised hair. Clients hair is “sandwiched” between a small top and bottom extension weft (ranging from 2cm to 4cm in size). The same set can be used up to 3 times, sometimes more with exceptional care. Available in a variety of lengths, textures, densities and brands.
Why we love them
- Most even tension and weight distribution of all extension methods
- “Invisible” tape-ins can be placed high on the head and close to the face
- Great method for precision cutting
- Refitted every 6-9 weeks, when extensions are reinstalled they are placed in a similar but not exact spot, so the natural hair gets a break
- Natural hair protected between “sandwich”
- Easy to wash hair between rows
- Holds style longer, so client does not need to wash and heat style hair as frequently
- Most gentle method when applied, taken care of and removed properly. Many clients use this method to rehab and/or grow our their own hair
KERATIN/KTIP/FUSION EXTENSIONS
Great for all hair densities from fine to thick. Individual strand method/application. Applied using a thermal wand, the extension bond is heated and once pliable is rolled around a “strand” (small section) of the clients hair. New hair must be ordered after completed wear time. Available in a variety of lengths, textures, densities and brands.
why we love them
- Bond size customizable, can be ordered or cut to compliment any hair density
- Best method for low salon maintenance or out-of-area clients. Wear time is 3-5 months
- Great method for when a lot of extra length is desired
- Easy to wash
- Easy to brush
- Versatile hair styling, easy to wear in “up” styles
- Extremely durable
- Wonderful method for precision cutting, individual “strands” allows for it to move like their own hair
- Holds styling longer, so client does not need to wash and heat style hair as frequently
VOLUME WEFT & TAPE-IN HYBRID HAIR EXTENSIONS
Great for when a lot of volume and length is desired, aka “the full send”. Volume wefts pack a lot of grams and create goddess hair of dreams results. Works well with most hair densities from fine to thick. The addition of tape-ins rather than wefts alone, allows for placement of extensions closer to the face and higher on the head, as well as more blended cutting.
WHY we LOVE THEM
- The volume wefts create a lot of volume and mass in the back and under layers of the hair. Doing this rather than all tape-ins allows for much quicker salon maintenance appointments.
- Multiple salon maintenance options; Client can come in at 4-5 weeks for a quick “mini move up” of wefts only. On separate appointments the “full move up” of the tape-ins and wefts is done. This makes for shorter and more affordable appointments, as well as creating a client that is now coming in on regular basis. Or client can choose to come at 8-9 weeks for full removal and re-install of the tape-ins & wefts in one appointment. Its great to have options to offer clients so they can choose which best suits their lifestyle and budget
- Easy home maintenance
- Easy to wash between the “rows”
- Holds styling longer, so client does not need to wash and heat style hair as frequently
