Tape-in Hair Extensions
Want to add length, volume or a pop of color to your hair without spending hours in the salon? Say hello to tape-in extensions—the fastest way to transform your look. If you’re looking for a low-commitment, high-impact hair upgrade, tape-ins are the way to go.
Tape-ins are ultra thin wefts of hair that come with a special adhesive tape at the top. Small sections of your own hair is sandwiched between two wefts to create a seamless blend. The best part? The whole process is super speedy with a full head application typically taking 1-1.5 hours.
Tape-in extensions are suitable for most fine hair and hair that is not strong enough to support the weight and heat of other methods. Tape-ins can also be used on thinning hair.
Advantages
Quick and easy
Lightweight and comfortable: because they’re so thin and lightweight, tape-ins are super comfortable to wear. You’ll hardly notice they’re there and neither will anyone else!
Reusable: With proper care, tape-ins can be reused several times.
Low Commitment- Unlike some other methods, tape-ins areas to remove and adjust, making them perfect for anyone who likes to switch up their style frequently.
Weft/Hand-Tied Hair Extensions
Ever wonder how some people have hair that looks impossibly long and thick? Spoiler alert, it just might be weft extensions.
The term hand-tied, machine weft, genius weft and more all refer to the same application method. This type of extension can add serious volume, length and a little extra “wow” factor without anyone suspecting you have them.
Wefts are exactly what they sound like, long wefts of hair. They come in different densities from sleek and seamless to bold and voluminous. They’re attached without adhesive or heat; they’re “sewn” onto a row of your own hair that has been pulled through beads that are crimped closed. Wefts take 2 to 3 hours to apply depending on your natural hair and desired look.
Weft extensions are suitable for most hair types but aren’t the best for hair that is both fine and thin. They are typically the best option for those with thick hair. We offer density options to match your own hair’s density.
Advantages
Make a big impact with the least amount of scalp coverage
No adhesives or heat in the application
Quickest maintenance appointments
Low commitment-Removal often only takes 30 min
Resuable:with proper care, wefts can be reused several times
Bonded/K-Tip Hair Extensions
If you consider yourself a low maintenance person who doesn’t want to make frequent trips to the salon, K-tip extensions are for you!
K-tip, short for Keratin tip, (also known as bonded or fusion extensions) are individual stands of hair that come with a small keratin bond at the top. Using a special tool, the keratin tips are carefully fused to your natural hair strand by strand. They allow for an ultra-natural placement and are the easiest extension to wear in up in a high bun or ponytail, making them perfect for our low maintenance clients.
K-tips are suitable for most hair types except chemically damaged hair as we use heat to attach them. They are our favorite for curly clients because of how natural they fall in the curl pattern. The initial appointment can take up to 6 hours depending on your hair’s density and desired look but do not need to be moved up.
Advantages
Long lasting Glam-K-tips are the perfect option if our in it for the long haul. With proper care these extensions can last 4-6 months with only one short maintenance appointment in between.
Strand by strand application creates the most natural movement
Hair Extensions FAQ
-
The key factors are the expertise of the stylist and the quality of the hair. A skilled extension artist ensures proper attachment, seamless color matching, and natural blending.
Always choose 100% Remy human hair with the cuticle intact for a more natural look. Ask about the stylist’s experience, check their portfolio, and ensure they offer a written guarantee.
-
There’s no single “best” brand, but higher-priced brands tend to offer better quality. Most companies source from a few major suppliers, then process and package the hair.
Be cautious of overprocessed hair, especially blonde and vibrant shades, as they may feel coarse. The best extension brands aren’t sold in wig or beauty supply stores. If a stylist offers a “private label” or their own brand, it's the same hair as others, just rebranded.
-
Extensions fall into three main categories:
Individually Bonded: Small hair bundles attached with beads, loops, or heat-activated glue. Some bonds can loosen with oil or silicone-based products.
Tape-In: Hair wefts are taped on both sides of your natural hair. The tape is discreet and can be reused.
Hand-Tied Wefts: Hair is sewn in with thread, sometimes with beads for extra security. Great for adding significant volume.
-
We strongly advise against DIY removal to prevent damage.
Tape-ins are easiest to remove but can still cause minor breakage.
Bead or crimp-bonded extensions require special tools and patience to avoid hair loss.
Heat-bonded extensions are the hardest to remove and require a special solution—DIY removal can result in significant damage.
We offer removal services at competitive prices.
-
Consultations take about an hour, during which a stylist could be performing another service. The fee helps ensure serious inquiries and is credited toward your service if you book within 14 days.
-
No, sorry. Hair extensions are non-refundable once shipped, as suppliers treat them like medical-grade products due to hygiene concerns.
-
Tape-ins can be reused and moved up every 6 weeks.
Hand-tied extensions can also be reused if properly maintained.
Bonded extensions are not reusable. Some brands offer a “re-bonding” service, but the quality declines, and you’d need to go weeks without extensions or buy two sets for rotation.
-
Bonded extensions last 4-6 months, depending on hair growth and care.
Tape-in and hand-tied extensions can last 6-8 months with maintenance.
We offer “Move-Up” services to reattach and reposition extensions.
-
No, but they require extra care:
Use a special brush to avoid damage.
Avoid certain shampoos and conditioners that can weaken bonds.
Regular follow-up trims help keep them looking natural.
-
Extensions may not be suitable if you:
Are allergic to nylon (some bonding materials contain it).
Have thinning hair or medical hair loss.
Have severely damaged or weak hair that may not support extensions.
Have extremely fine hair, which may not hold extensions well.
Are unwilling to follow a proper care routine—neglect can shorten their lifespan.
If unsure, send us photos for an initial assessment before booking a consultation.
-
Do I have to pay upfront?
Tape-in extensions: In-stock hair must be paid for at checkout. Special order hair requires a deposit before ordering, with the balance due at application.
Bonded & Hand-Tied Extensions: Split into two payments—one for the hair and one for application.
Once shipped, extension hair is non-refundable.
