Hair Extensions FAQ’s
When did you get the new extension services and why?
We’ve always had tape in extensions, however, we wanted more diversity and higher quality options. Something that matches our exclusive quality at SALT.
What are the purposes of having extensions?
Who doesn’t want more hair? Many people get extensions for the length; to create a mermaid look. We love extensions for this look and we also love extensions for people that have thin or thinning hair. Extensions create a fuller, more voluminous look. Extensions also give you a greater range of styling ability. More hair also gives many people more confidence. It’s a great investment all the way around.
What brand are the extensions?
After months of testing and researching extension lines, Hair Culture and Covet and Mane are the lines that stood out to us the most. Both brands are quality hair with different textures and color ranges to accommodate everyone. Covet and Mane is your go to for rooted blondes and highlights with a little bit of texture for wavy or curly lengths. While Hair Culture gives you long silky lengths in solid colors of brunette to platinum blonde. Hair Culture can also be mixed to give a highlight effect or custom rooted look for a total transformation. Both brands offer the highest quality in double drawn extensions, meaning, hair is the same thickness through out from top to bottom
What does the process look like for getting extensions?
Our guests hair goals, for this customized service, is our priority. Therefore, we reserve 30 minutes for each consultation. During our consultation, we will gather all of the information needed to execute the best type of extension-hand tied or tape in, color, length and texture for your desired look. After our consultation, and we’ve determined your type, desired length, color and texture, we will schedule your install appointment. This appointment will be at least 5 days after our consultation. f needed, we will also book your coloring, highlight or needed haircut during the scheduled install day. The install will take 2-3 hours for hand tied and 1-2 hours for tape in. Please expect to add an additional 2 hours color your hair after install, if necessary. Handtied extensions will be colored after install whereas tape in extensions will be colored before install. Coloring your extensions will be carefully customized; the cost is not included in the prices of the install. If your natural hair needs a haircut, this will happen before the instal of both extensions. This will be an additional charge. The application process of both hand tied extensions and tape in extensions is similar. With both practices, we carefully determine the areas to install and section your hair for best results. Handtied extensions will be clipped to beads for stability while being sewn on with a thin but durable nylon thread, this way hair can be worn up or down. Whereas tape in hair extensions, your natural hair is sandwiched in between two panels of hair with “tape" and locked in. Both installations will be followed by cutting the extensions to blend with your natural hair.
what is the maintenance?
The maintenance of extensions is low. With handtied, moving the beads up the new hair growth will need to be done every 4 weeks. Your first move up will be complimentary. After your first move up, the cost going forward for a move up is $120. With tape ins, your extensions are removed, washed and reinstalled after 6-8 weeks.
what are the extension options?
Clients will have 2 options: tape in or handtied. Each option offers the same amount of hair. Our consultation will determine which type of extension is best for your lifestyle and styling habits. Hand tied extensions are more for the craftsmanship that goes into the strands being tied to the weft, one by one. Handtied is worth the time and cost for a flat seamless install without the worry of potential damage to the hair. On the plus side. tape ins are quicker and the flattest option around!
