Frequently Asked Questions

• How much do hair extensions cost?
  Each look is custom down to the hair color, texture, amount of strands, and length desired. The consultation was created to explain the options available for different price estimates. I also offer a satisfaction guarantee so you can choose with confidence.
  
  
• Why do I need a consultation?
  Since custom looks packages can range between $300 - $2000 (includes hair), a consultation will provide you with all the information you need to make a decision about what will work best for your hair needs. It also gives me the opportunity to create a low and a high estimate to clearly reflect what your individual needs and budget are.
  
  
• How long does the application take?
  A normal full head application will take approximately 4-6 hours and includes the blended cut.
  
  
• How does it work?
  The hair extension system starts with 100% human hair. It is then applied using an unique cold application by a certified stylist. Unlike other methods, the process uses no chemicals, sewing, heat or glue and is completely safe and painless to apply.
  
  
• Will it damage my natural hair?
  Other hair extension systems use glue and heated bonds to melt the extension into your hair, which can cause damage to fragile hair. Braiding and sewing methods can cause tension hair loss for some hair types. The Hairlocs™ system was invented for fine and fragile hair and designed to be safe for years of use for all hair types. With Hairlocs™, there is no tension, stretching, chemicals or heat used during the application or the take down process. Hairlocs™ are the safest extensions available today.
  
  
• Do I have to use special products for my hair extensions?
  Most products are compatible with the the various hair extension methods. Bring in your favorite products and I will discuss them at your consultation. I have tested products that I feel will give you the same or better results and work well with these extension methods.
  
  
• Can you see them?
  The extensions are always applied behind the hair line and away from the natural partings. The unique shells are color matched so they blend naturally with your hair and are virtually undetectable!
  
  
• Are they comfortable?
  There is no discomfort. The feeling most people report is similar to having a small bobby pin in their hair.
  
  
• Can I care for my hair like normal?
  With Hairlocs™, you can color, perm and style your hair just as you normally do. Use your favorite hot tools like flat irons and hot curlers. Invent your own style with the full, thick, long hair you've always wanted.
  
  
• Will the hair match my color and texture?
  Absolutely. I will match your color and texture perfectly. Custom blending is my specialty! I have every color and every texture.
  
  
• How long do they last?
  The life of your extensions range from 6 to 12 months depending on the nature of your look and the speed at which your natural hair grows. I use 100% full cuticle hair which enables you to re-use it through maintenance applications, extending the life of your investment.
  
  
• How often do I need maintenance after the initial application?
  Most clients will come in every 3-4 months. Of course, this may vary depending on growth and or natural shedding.
  
  
• If my hair is damaged from chemicals; can I have hair extensions put in?
  Yes, absolutely! It is the safest thing to protect your hair while it is growing out. My priority is to protect your hair from any damage so that you can improve your look with confidence. In some cases, clients experience hair growth and fortification because the extensions force them to stop over processing. And as always, I test strand at your consultation.
  
  
• How long does my own hair have to be?
  That depends on the finished style you desire.
  
  
• Can I change my hair color with extensions or have my hair straightened or relaxed?
  Yes! You can use any professional chemical services performed on your hair and for your convenience, I offer one-stop shopping. I am a certified cosmetologist offering cut, color and hair extension services.
  
  
• Will I be able to wear my hair up?
  I apply the extensions with that in mind, so you can wear your hair in multiple styles.
  
  
• Can I just add volume without length?
  Yes, volume can be achieved with even a few well placed hair extensions. Take a look at the Gallery to see examples.
