  • {Q}  I like to visit indoor tanning booths, and I am getting synthetic hair extensions soon. Can I still go tanning without ruining the synthetic hair?
    {A}  Yes, pending your extensions are either Monofibre, Thermo Fiber, or partially Kanekalon (which you shouldn't have a full head of anyway). But just to be safe wrap a towel around your head while tanning (if available), or wrap up your tee shirt around your hair.

  • {Q}  I like to go tanning indoors, I have human hair extensions with a fusion method.  Will the heat from the tanning bulbs harm my bonds?
    {A}  No, the tanning lamps with not hurt your bonds, whether; fusion, adhesive, pinch braid, micro ring (with or without silicone) shrinkies, copper tubes, sew in, etc. But just to be safe wrap a towel around your head while tanning (if available), or wrap up your tee shirt around your hair.

  • {Q} How much does it cost to get an install of hair extensions?
    {A}  It really depends on several factors; what type of extensions you want, the quality and amount of hair, your location, etc.
    In general,  "name brand hair" hair extensions at a salon, will cost you around $1,500.00+. Smaller salons, or individual hair dressers will charge $100.00's less. (and be just as skilled, if not more).
    Human hair will cost a lot more than even high grade synthetic. Do your research!

  • {Q} Will hair extensions ruin my hair?
    {A} Not everyone who wears extensions will have problems, things to consider are: current condition of hair, any current hair loss, any medical conditions, if you bleach your hair, have your hair relaxed or chemically straightened, the method of install (yes, some are safer than others), time extensions are left in without maintenance or removal, etc.

  • {Q} Does having hair extensions hurt?
    {A} The first 3 days or so they will feel uncomfortable, heavy, and/or tight but should never hurt. Please return to your extensioneer asap to address any pain. This is very serious as you may experience hair loss and/or bald patches!  

  • {Q} Can I do extensions on myself?
    {A} Doing something the wrong way can seriously ruin your hair and possibly cause injury!
    We recommend having a friend help you with installation, this is very helpful when doing the back, especially with a fusion iron, or just strand by strand in general. Of course we want to say you should go to a professional, but honestly, some "professionals" may ruin your hair as well.

  • {Q} I just got extensions done and they look horrible!
    The color doesn't match (hair is too curly/straight,  there is not enough hair, etc).
    {A} GO BACK and talk to your extensioneer, you are paying for a service, you deserve proper care. Kindly explain the issue you are having and most professionals will correct the problem (within reason) within a certain time frame (usually a week to one month). Most professionals care more about you being happy than you calling with an issue. Keep in mind going to another location, or possibly extensioneer of same business, will want to charge you extra to remove or fix the so-called problem. Some may not even look at your hair if someone else has installed it.

  • {Q} I recently had stand by strand extensions put it and they are sliding out! 
    Not just one or two, or even 10, but like 20 a day! HELP!
    {A} PLEASE go back to the person who did your extensions. They will want to know the types of shampoos and conditioners and general styling products you are using. Make sure you follow their after care instructions!!

  • {Q} I just got extensions and there is not enough hair! 
    It looks like I have a mullet! :(
    {A} Most professional have a point at the head where they will not install extensions past, since most people work from the nape (neck area). This stopping point is usually the temples (right above your eyes). A good way to prevent or be rid of "mushroom head" is to have a professional razor your hair in layers, or hair more extensions higher up, although they may refuse to add more with the possibly of the bonds or weave showing.
