EXTENSIONS
please make sure to read all of the info below. dm me for any extension inquires, and let me know if you have any questions not answered here!
overview
experience
i'm moderately new to extensions! because of my inexperience i'm accepting models at a lower service pricing!
types of extensions
currently i am offering tape-in and sew-in weft!
tape-in extensions are affixed to natural hair via hair safe tape.
sew-in weft extensions are affixed to small beaded sections of hair via thread.
in the future i intend on learning i-tips as well as wefts! for now i'm not quite there yet, but am incredibly excited to learn and get there (:
cost breakdown
fullness vs. length
in this section i am giving costs based off of JUST the hair for ONE install, not including service charge. i don't make any profit off of it. good quality hair just costs *that much*
adding FULLNESS: $400-750+
adding LENGTH: $600-1125+
hair will have to be purchased through me when the appointment is made. i accept payment plans for hair! just keep in mind that if you opt for a longer duration payment plan, it may end up overlapping with your appointment
appointment maintenance
tape-ins should be moved up every 4-6 weeks ideally, while wefts should be moved every 6-8 weeks. longer stretches without removal can result in tangles, matting, and traction alopecia. it is *HIGHLY* recommended that you come for scheduled maintenance!
high quality hair can be reused for multiple installs, although the length may get shorter over time.
service charge for tapes is 40% off my typical pricing, wefts are $75 flat for all installs. pricing may VARY, it's possible my timing may fluctuate with different heads of hair, and i would like to hope i will get faster with practice!
install: $48
removal: $24
HOME maintenance
☆ brush OFTEN from ends to root ☆
☆ shampoo scalp well, DO NOT condition roots! ☆
☆ when swimming and going to the beach, run conditioner through the hair (off scalp), tie into low braids ☆
☆ sunscreen WITHOUT **Avobenzone or Octocrylene** - common in CHEMICAL sunscreen ☆
☆ heat style with HEAT PROTECTANT ☆
☆ dry shampoo is ur bestie fr ☆
☆ no protein/bond-building products! they can lead to MAJOR tangling. use hydrating products instead! ☆
new hair maintenance
good quality tape-ins last at least 1 year! you can purchase your new packs in one go when you're ready, or you can do it over time and we can one by one switch out the packs. with every appointment i trim the extensions so they blend seamlessly with your hair, which means over time they will get shorter and shorter! with the purchase of a new pack you'll also regain the maximum length~
appointment length
as of right now it takes me around 2 hours to clean and prep reused extensions, not including potential color refreshes. if you want to cut out the extra time waiting around during your appointment, consider buying extra hair! that would allow me to do prep work outside of your appointment time, so that you don't have to sit around.
