We offer THREE TYPES OF HAIR EXTENSIONS called "Bonded Extensions", "Quikkies" and "Flash"

Bonded Extensions

  • Used to add lots of length and fullness.

  • Tiny individual bundles of hair chemically bonded to your own hair strands.

  • Used to achieve the most hair possible.

  • Best for people with normal to fine hair that is in fair to good shape.

  • Meticulous 4-6 hour application time, with fantastic results.

  • Can be worn three to seven months depending on how fast your hair grows. Five months is about average.

  • A haircut is required at the time of your extension service to blend the extensions into your own hair.

  • A 60 minute consultation is required prior to your service. The cost of the consultation ($75.00) is applied to the cost of your service

Quikkies

  • Used to add up to four inches and for fullness.

  • Strips of hair sandwiched between layers of your own hair. Attached with microfiber bonding strips.

  • Better for people with very fine hair or chemically weakened hair subject to breakage.

  • Relatively quick application time, also with fantastic results.

Extension F.A.Q. - Questions and Answers about Extensions

Is there really a difference in "brands" or types of extensions? - Absolutely.  We have used three very well known brands in the past, all which yielded good results, but the Hairdreams® brand yields the best results we have seen.  The reasons we like our current brand better than everything else on the market are; the quality of the hair, the smaller bonds, and the ease of removal.

What should I be looking for when comparing price and quality? - First, be sure you are getting 100% human hair.  Then ask if the cuticle layer is completely intact all the way down the hair shaft and whether or not the cuticle all lays in the same direction.  Some salons will not know this, but they can find out.  Next, find out what is included in the cost you are quoted.  In addition to the cost of the hair and application time, you may be charged separately for color tinting your existing hair (basically a hair color appointment), and for a haircut, which is required after the extensions are applied.  Other costs will include the products you will need to maintain your extensions and a consultation.  Add everything up to get your actual cost and be sure to get the details of the guarantee.

How long will my extensions last? - If you follow the simple home care program, the longevity of your extensions is a result of how fast your hair grows.  Three to seven months is the range, depending on growth rate and how well you maintain them.

Are Extensions hard to take care of?  No, but they can take a bit more brushing than you may be used to, and the brush must be of a certain type. We offer the brushes for sale, or we can tell you where to purchase. Additionally, you must avoid certain types of shampoos and conditioners.   In addition to the special brush and care in choices of shampoos, a regular follow-up service is a crucial requirement for the longevity of your extensions. This includes "Tidy-Up Cuts". These periodic hair cuts (4-6 six weeks apart) will take the place of regular haircuts and keep your extensions well integrated into your own hair, tangle free and natural looking.

Is there a way to tell if I am not a good candidate before I spend money on a consultation?  Yes, there are several reasons you may not be a good candidate.  If you are allergic to nylon, we cannot provide the service. The bonds contain a tiny amount on nylon.  If you have a large patch (approaching 8 inches) of scalp showing due to thinning hair or medical treatment, you may not be a good candidate, but we would have to see you to make a final determination. If you suspect you may not be a good candidate for extension services, but are interested, call 512-233-1910 to speak to one of our extension specialists about your unique considerations.

How much do extensions cost? -  This is the number one question we get asked and the hardest to answer without a consultation.  Your price will vary according to how much length and volume you want to add.  As length increases, the raw cost of the hair increases.  As volume and thickness increases, the time it takes to apply the extensions increases.  Flash featuring a few color strips start as low as $80.00.  Prices for full head extensions start at $1,400 and go up to $3,000. $2,200 is about average.  Quickies typically range from $500 - $800.

Do I have to pay all at once? Payments for both Quickies and Extensions will be broken down into two payments. Your first payment is made prior to us purchasing your hair (we can't return it).  The second payment is made on the day of your extension services.

Why do I have to pay $75.00 to come in and talk to someone about it? - All of our consultations are complimentary with the exception of extensions. This is because consultations for extensions take at least an hour, and include measurements and color matching.  Our stylists can book a haircut and style in an hour or less, for which they are paid, so we feel that charging for this hour of their time is appropriate.
