Hand Tied Hair Extensions

FAQs

How many rows do I need? 

1 ROW will provide fullness and fill in your ends so your hair looks slightly longer. If your natural hair is already close to the length of your hair goal and you want volume and fullness, then 1 row should be all that’s needed. Cost of installation for 1 row is $200. (Does not include cost of hair or future maintenance move up appointments.)

2 ROWS will add length and fullness. If there is extreme difference between the length of your natural hair and your hair goal, then you will need 2 rows or more in some cases. Cost of installation for 2 rows is $300. (Does not include cost of hair or future maintenance move up appointments.)

During your consultation we will determine exactly how many rows you need based on your existing hair and your hair goals.

How are they installed? 

The extensions are installed by creating a beaded row of your own natural hair, then sewing the hand-tied wefts onto that beaded row. We use the Habit Hand Tied Extension Method for attaching the wefts, which completely hides the beads making the extensions undetectable, comfortable, manageable, and prevents the hair from getting damaged.

What does an installation appointment include?

At your installation appointment your natural hair and your hand-tied wefts will be colored according to the goals we discussed during your consultation. Your custom colored hand-tied wefts will then be installed, blended, and styled. We will also be taking before & after pics!

What is the maintenance like? 

Maintenance appointments are needed every 7-10 weeks. Move-up pricing does not include color but does include a shampoo and blowout.

How often do I have to buy new hair? 

New hair should be purchased about every 9 months (a lot of this will depend on how well you care for the hair)

I have curly hair. Are there textures available that will match my natural curl pattern? 

There are curly extensions available, but like a perm, that curl in the extension hair only lasts so long.

What products can I use? 

Hydration is KEY to keeping your extensions in tip top shape. You will need to invest in a sulphate-free, hydrating shampoo and conditioner, a leave-in conditioner, and a hair serum or oil.

We USE and recommend the following products:

Wet and dry detangling brush or Boar Bristle Detangling Brush

  • Brazilian Blowout Extension Repair Shampoo & Conditioner
  • Paul Mitchell Heat protectant

All products can be purchased at the salon at your installation appointment.

DO NOT USE the following products on your extensions:

  • High alcohol content hairsprays
  • Shampoos containing any type of sulphate
  • Sea Salt texturizing sprays

Can I go swimming in the pool or the ocean with Hand Tied Extensions? 

Chlorinated water and salt water will ruin your extensions! At the very least it will dry them out, at worst it can create matting, tangling, and breakage. If you swim or go to the beach, please take every precaution not to get your hair wet. If your extensions do get wet, thoroughly shampoo and use a deep conditioning hair mask as soon as possible.

Can I wear my hair up?

Yes! Ponytails, topknots, braids, half up / half down styles are all achievable with Hand-Tied Extensions!

What if I am from out of the area?

We would love to do your extensions for you! We can set up a video chat/consultation for you so you don’t have to come into our physical location until we do your actual service.
