General Questions
What are the different types of hair extensions you offer?
I offer multiple hair extension options to fit your lifestyle, hair goals, and comfort level:
-
Sew-in hair extensions – A secure, long-term option for added length and volume.
-
Beaded toppers – Ideal for adding coverage and fullness for thinning or fine hair.
-
Hybrid method (sew-in & k-tips) – A customized blend of volume, length and coverage—especially for face framing.
-
Clip-in & Halo extensions – Temporary solutions for special occasions or a quick confidence boost without the commitment of in-salon maintenance.
How do I know which extension method is right for me?
Choosing the best extension method depends on your hair type, lifestyle, and desired outcome. During a consultation, we’ll discuss your goals, daily routine, and maintenance preferences to find the perfect solution for you.
Will hair extensions damage my natural hair?
No, when properly installed and maintained, hair extensions should not damage your natural hair. I use high-quality methods designed for safety and longevity, and I’ll guide you through proper care to keep both your natural hair and extensions in great condition.
How long do hair extensions last?
The lifespan of extensions depends on the type you choose and how well they’re maintained:
-
Sew-in hair extensions – 6-8 weeks before a move-up, with hair lasting 9-12 months or longer.
-
Beaded toppers – 4-6 weeks before a move-up, with hair lasting up to a year.
-
K-tips (part of the hybrid method) – new hair is required between 3-5 months with no move-ups in between.
-
Halo & clip-ins – Can last 1+ years with proper care since they are not worn daily.
What is the home care like for hair extensions?
Each extension method will require home care to some extent. Sew-in, hybrid, and topper methods will need daily brushing, use of the recommended products, and following your home care guide with regularly scheduled move-ups. Halos and clip-ins will require minimal maintenance with your recommended home care guide.
Beaded Topper
What is a beaded topper?
A beaded topper is a lightweight, natural-looking hairpiece that provides coverage and volume for thinning areas, particularly at the crown. Unlike wigs, toppers integrate with your natural hair for a seamless blend.
Who is a good candidate for a topper?
If you have fine or thinning hair, a beaded topper is an excellent way to add density and fullness without committing to a full wig or sewn-in extensions.
How often do toppers need maintenance?
Toppers should be moved up every 4-6 weeks, similar to sew-in extensions, to maintain a secure and comfortable fit.
Can I style my topper like my natural hair?
Yes! Toppers are made from high-quality human hair and can be curled, straightened, and styled just like your natural hair.
Sew-in + Hybrid Extensions
What is the sew-in method?
Sew-in extensions are installed by securing wefts of hair to a beaded foundation, offering a seamless and natural look with long-lasting results.
What is the hybrid method?
The hybrid method combines sew-in wefts with K-tips (keratin bonds) for a customized blend of volume and coverage, ensuring the most natural integration.
What are the benefits of sew-in or hybrid extensions?
​
-
Long-lasting and secure
-
Blends seamlessly with natural hair
-
Versatile styling options
-
Provides volume and length without daily removal
How often do sew-in or hybrid extensions need maintenance?
​
-
Sew-in extensions require a move-up every 6-8 weeks to maintain their placement and prevent tension on natural hair.
-
Hybrid extensions require maintenance depending on the method used—sew-in wefts need move-ups, while K-tips need to be replaced every 3-5 months with no move-ups required.
Can I wash and style my extensions like normal hair?
Yes! You can wash, blow-dry, curl, and straighten your sew-in or hybrid extensions just like your natural hair. Following the recommended home care guide ensures longevity and keeps them looking their best.
Who is a good candidate for sew-in or hybrid extensions?
These methods are ideal for those looking for a long-term solution to add volume and length. They work well for medium to thick hair types and offer a secure, low-maintenance option for everyday wear.
Clip-ins + Halos
What is the difference between halos and clip-in extensions?
​
-
Halos sit comfortably on your head with an invisible wire, providing instant volume and length without clips or bonds.
-
Clip-in extensions come in separate wefts that attach with clips, allowing you to customize the placement for added fullness.
Are halos and clip-ins good for daily wear?
Halos and clip-ins are designed for temporary wear, but if you don't mind removing and installing daily you absolutely can/. However, if you want a long-term option without the hassle of daily removal and installing, sew-in extensions might be a better fit.
Do I need to color-match my halo or clip-ins?
Yes! I provide color-matching services to ensure your extensions blend seamlessly with your natural hair.
How do I care for my halo or clip-in extensions?
To keep them in top condition follow your home care guide and:
-
Store them properly when not in use.
-
Brush gently with a detangling brush.
-
Wash occasionally with sulfate-free shampoo and conditioner.
-
Blow dry after washing to prevent tangling and to keep their shine, smoothness and softness.
