Hand Tied Extensions

Our technique utilizes soft silicone beads and nylon string to meticulously sew in high-quality wefts using a curved needle. This method is ideal for achieving voluminous and luscious locks. Each placement is custom tailored to your head shape. The wefts cascade around your head, ensuring a consistent tension that prevents any strain, breakage, or damage. Hand tied extensions typically last 6-8 weeks and the hair can be reused for up to 12 months.

Tape-In Extensions

Tape in extensions are thin tape wefts, generally 1.5 inch wide pre-taped hair wefts, that get “taped-in” in between your own hair in “sandwich” like bonds. It is the most requested professional hair extension method in salons worldwide. This method is 100% natural, requires no tools or chemicals, and lasts up to three months-and the hair is reusable! It takes less than an hour to apply an entire head with zero damage. Tape in extensions typically last 4-6 weeks.

Hair Replacement

Non-surgical hair replacement offers a non-invasive alternative for individuals experiencing hair loss or thinning, providing them with options to regain confidence and achieve the look they desire. It’s a great option for folks who want to boost their hair volume and feel good about their appearance without having to deal with surgery.

Consultation
An extension consultation is a personalized session where an extension expert assesses a client's hair to recommend suitable extensions. During the consultation, the stylist evaluates the client's hair type, texture, length, and desired look. They discuss various extension options, such as tape-ins, or sew-ins, and provide maintenance tips. The goal is to ensure the extensions blend seamlessly with natural hair, achieving the client's desired volume, length, or style.

Weft Application
An extension application involves attaching hair extensions to natural hair to add length and volume. Typically, this service uses the sew-in method, where wefts of hair are sewn onto small, daisy-chain beaded sections of the client's hair. The process is priced per row, ensuring a customized fit and natural look. This method provides secure, long-lasting results, blending seamlessly with the client's natural hair for a fuller, more voluminous hairstyle.

Extension Re-taping
$180
1.5 hrs: This service is for extension clients who wear tape-in extensions. During retaping, the stylist removes the extensions, cleans and re-tapes the wefts with fresh adhesive, and then re-applies them close to the scalp. This service ensures the extensions remain securely attached and look natural, extending the life of the hair extensions and maintaining a seamless appearance.
Extension Removal
$100

60 mins: Hair extension removal is a service where existing extensions are carefully detached from natural hair. This process involves gently breaking down the adhesive or bonds used to secure the extensions, ensuring minimal damage to the client's hair. After removal, the service includes a thorough wash to cleanse the scalp and hair, followed by a precise cut and professional styling. This ensures the client's hair looks and feels amazing, leaving them with a fresh, polished look.

Extension Care 101

Extension maintenance appointments often take a few hours and require dedicated time, making prebooking essential to ensure availability. Consistent upkeep helps prevent tangling, slipping, and damage—protecting the longevity of your hair investment. With proper maintenance, most clients only need to purchase new hair once a year instead of every few months. Staying on schedule keeps your extensions looking and feeling their best between installs.

Tape-Ins Only: Avoid shampooing, getting your hair wet, or sweating excessively for 48 hours after application. The adhesive used is medical-grade and extremely strong—but only if given the proper time to fully cure. Disturbing the bonds too early can weaken their hold and compromise the longevity of your extensions.

S.S.S. = Stop, Snap, Send. In the event you experience any challenges please: Stop – assess the situation, Snap – a picture or video, Send – to your stylist. Call or Text us at 207-946-2323

Be sure to leave a little extra time for styling—your new hair may behave differently and might require different products than you're used to. Always use extension-safe styling products; we recommend avoiding silicones and heavy oils, as they can affect the bonds and quality of hair. If you need tips or want to learn additional easy ways to style your extensions, we’re happy to help! You can book a styling appointment with us anytime online.

For wefts, it's important to clarify around the tracks 1–2 times a week—apply clarifying shampoo to damp hair, gently massage around the area, and let it sit for 5 minutes to remove buildup without applying excess pressure.

Tape-in extensions, however, should not be washed too frequently, as over-washing can weaken the adhesive and cause slippage. Always remember to thoroughly dry the roots after any shampooing to maintain a healthy scalp and secure bonds.

Maintain the health of your extensions by using only extension-safe shampoos. Between your weekly clarifying treatments, we recommend using the B3 Extension Repair Shampoo to nourish and protect your hair.

When choosing a conditioner it’s important to avoid products containing oils, that can cause the coating on your extensions to deteriorate. We recommend our B3 Extension Repair Conditioner.

Leave-in conditioner is essential for keeping hair extensions healthy, hydrated, and tangle-free. Since extensions don’t receive natural oils from the scalp, they can become dry and prone to breakage without proper moisture. A good leave-in conditioner helps protect your extensions from damage caused by heat styling, environmental factors, and daily wear, ensuring they stay soft, smooth, and manageable.

For best results, we recommend pairing your favorite leave-in conditioner with our B4 Extension Refresh Spray to keep your extensions looking fresh and flawless longer.

Brush, brush, brush! Regular brushing is key to preventing and removing tangles and mats, keeping your hair looking and feeling beautiful. When wearing extensions, using the right brush is essential—brushes with nods on the ends of the bristles can actually cause damage by pulling at the base of the extension wefts. To protect your extensions and maintain their longevity, always use a proper extension brush designed to gently detangle without causing stress.

Protecting your hair extensions while you sleep is just as important as caring for them during the day. Sleeping on a silk or satin pillowcase reduces friction, helping to prevent tangles, breakage, and frizz—keeping your extensions smooth and healthy. For extra protection, gently braid or clip your hair up before bed to minimize movement and further reduce tangling. These simple steps can make a big difference in maintaining the longevity and beauty of your extensions.

Keep your extensions looking their best by protecting them from excess moisture—especially tape-in extensions. Water can cause the string that ties the wefts to swell or weaken the adhesive on the tapes, leading to premature slipping or damage. This doesn’t mean you can’t wash your hair, but be sure to dry your roots immediately after showering or swimming to preserve the strength and longevity of your extensions.

Chlorine can cause discoloration and damage to your hair. Before swimming in a pool or any body of water, apply leave-in conditioner from mid-lengths to ends and secure your hair in a ponytail. *Avoid braiding your hair when swimming to help protect your extensions and prevent tangling.
Extensions are specially coated to preserve their vibrant color and smooth texture. Using oils can cause buildup that breaks down this protective coating, leading to dullness and reduced quality. To keep your extensions looking their best, avoid applying oils directly to them.

While protecting your skin with sunscreen is important, some sunscreen ingredients can cause permanent discoloration to your hair—especially extensions. Avoid sunscreens containing Avobenzone and Octocrylene, as these can react with your hair and cause unwanted pink tones. Always choose hair-safe sun protection products to keep your color looking flawless. *We recommend and carry Unicorn Snot Sunscreen which is available in a dry oil or lotion.
