Every extension method trades off wear time, commitment, and cost differently. What each method involves — and the questions to bring to your consultation.
Extensions can add length, add fullness, or both — but the method matters as much as the hair. Here's the honest landscape of the systems we work with, and how we help guests choose in a consultation.
Halo: zero commitment
A halo sits on an invisible wire and lifts on and off in seconds — no attachment to your natural hair at all. It's the right answer for occasional wear: events, photos, weekends. Zero damage, zero upkeep appointments, and you're back to your own hair whenever you want.
Tape-in: the popular middle ground
Thin wefts are sandwiched against your own hair with medical-grade adhesive. Application is quick, the result lies flat and moves naturally, and they're re-usable — moved up every 6–8 weeks as your hair grows. The main care rule: keep oils and conditioner away from the bonds.
I-tip: strand-by-strand freedom
Small strands are attached with tiny beads — no heat, no adhesive. Because the attachment points are individual, you can wear high ponytails and part anywhere. They suit guests who want extensions to feel fully like their own hair, and they're moved up as your hair grows, typically every 6–10 weeks.
Wefts: maximum fullness
A weft is a continuous curtain of hair attached in rows — the workhorse for significant transformations and for thick natural hair that would overwhelm lighter methods. Secure, comfortable, and fast to maintain at move-up appointments.
The questions that decide it
- How often do you want to wear them? Daily → tape, i-tip, or weft. Occasionally → halo.
- How fine is your natural hair? Finer hair needs lighter-weight methods and careful placement.
- What's your styling routine? High ponytails and center parts point toward strand methods.
- What's the total budget? Count the hair and the maintenance schedule, not just installation day.
Quality matters enormously — extension hair ranges from single-use to multi-year. Color-matching to lived-in color like balayage is its own skill, which is why every extension service here starts with an in-person consultation and a personalized quote. Book yours and bring your inspiration photos.
