Why Weft Extensions?
These weft extensions can last you for 6-9+ months. However, it is very important to follow the
EXTENSION HAIRCARE GUIDELINES. You will need to schedule a
Move Up Appointment
every 5 - 7 weeks to have your wefts moved up a bit, depending on your hair’s natural growth rate. Because wefts are made with real human hair, they need the same care as your natural hair. I may also need to trim them a little with each application to keep them looking healthy and full.
The best part is that weft extensions stay in your hair and don’t need to be removed or applied each morning. Wefts also hold a style for more days than your natural hair will. This can save you time on hairstyling and products. #GoodHairDay
The installation process begins by threading your hair into micro-beads, and then sewing the weft onto the row of beads. While it is quite an intricate and personalized process, it is completely painless to you. During the removal process there is absolutely no use of harmful chemicals or heat, they leave ABSOLUTELY NO residue and can be moved up or removed completely, simply and quickly as long as the extensions have been properly cared for! Refer to EXTENSION HAIRCARE GUIDELINES.
With so many different styles, types and lengths of hair extensions, it can be really overwhelming to choose the best type for you. That’s what I am here for. Let me guide you through the basics, during our one-on-one consultation, on the phone or in the salon, I will advise you on the most advantageous option(s) for your hair type and desired look.

Extension Haircare Guidelines
WASHING
Before washing, thoroughly brush hair to remove any tangles. Gently hand wash with sulfate-free and paraben-free shampoo and lukewarm water. Never rub the ends of the hair together while washing. Repeat as needed, then add conditioner and leave in for 5 minutes. Avoid getting conditioner on the bead of the extensions. Gently use a wet brush or a wide tooth comb before rinsing. Be sure to completely rinse away shampoo and conditioner.
DRYING
Gently squeeze out excess water and blot with a cotton towel. Spray with leave-in conditioner or detangling spray and use a large wide tooth comb or wet brush to detangle and straighten while extensions are damp.
STYLING
Hand-tied extensions can be styled using a wet brush or pliable bristle brush, boar’s hair bristle brush, flat iron, or curling iron. Use only sulfate-free and paraben-free products. Use spray leave-in conditioner, hair oil and heat protection on extensions to keep from tangling or drying out.
SLEEPING
For best results, we recommend the following: Braid extensions or pull into a low ponytail before going to bed, sleep on a silk pillowcase.
MAINTENANCE
Brush regularly and thoroughly (multiple times/day). While brushing, hold base of scalp where the extensions adhere to the natural hair with opposite hand. Do wash your hair extensions at least once a week to prevent the hair from tangling or matting…. Don’t wash it everyday or it will dry out sooner. The same goes for drying and styling. The less you use hot tools and dry heat on your hair the better. Do apply hair serum or oil morning and night. Never sleep on wet hair, this will cause the extensions to tangle and matting.
