Fine, limp, or thin hair that never seems to grow or keep volume? Natural looking hair extensions can give you fullness and density that suit your features. Not all extensions are for added length.
Face framing extensions can fill in hair that never seems to grow, or keeps breaking around your face.
Chemical-free colour changes can also be achieved with a blend of custom hair extensions.
Length can also be achieved, but a lot of day-to-day trouble points that don’t involve super long locks can be the key to unlocking confidence.

Your consultation is as much for you as it is for us. You will walk away with all the information you need to decide if wearing hair extensions is the right choice for you.
We will talk about what your goals are, if they are achievable(if not, what could be achievable), home care, maintenance, price, and I will answer any questions you bring with you. We take a look at your scalp health and hair structure to determine what methods of extensions are best suited for you and provide you with an exact quote. -

Longevity varies depending on which method is used, but some methods can provide upwards of a year with the same hair. In salon and home care ultimately plays the biggest role in longevity.
-
Your maintenance schedule will depend on your natural hair, how well you follow home care instructions, and which method of extensions you receive. The most frequent is 4 weeks, the least frequent is 5 months.
-
Yes - with exceptions. We colour your hair around the extensions, or during maintenance appointments.
If you wear K-Tips there is a chance that oxidative colour could degrade the bonds, in these cases we recommend colouring your hair first so that there is some re-growth around them when you’re ready for a touch-up.
-
We aim to provide the closest match right from the supplier, but there are times when a custom blend is necessary. Most often custom colour is used to add a darker root, maintain blonde that discolours from daily wear & tear, or create fashion colours.
-
Yes. A customized blending cut is always necessary to ensure a natural and seamless blend between natural hair and extensions.
Our hair extensions are also real hair - they they will need cleaning up from split/dry ends just like your natural hair will.
-
Hair extensions often hold heat styles better than natural hair. It is important to use a high quality heat protector, and treat them just like your natural hair with regular trims and moisturizing treatments.
-
Your own hair should never become damaged from extensions. If it is, either your extensions were applied incorrectly, you were given the wrong type of extension, or something went wrong with the home care.
You will see hair come out at your maintenance appointment - this is hair that you naturally shed that would have come out while you shower/brush, but didn’t because your extension attachment held it in. Your natural hair should actually get healthier and grow longer because it is being protected while you wear extensions. -
Hair extensions are a completely custom service, and the price varies greatly from person to person. We can only provide exact quotes after a consultation for this reason.
The starting price for filling in low density areas around your face starts at $360 and increases from there based on your individual needs.
