What Are Hair Extensions?

Hair extensions are artificial or real human hair strands that are attached to your natural hair and are used to add length, color, or create volume. The best hair extensions come in different textures to match your natural hair and help you achieve your desired look.

At Salon Prism we only work with real hair for our hair extensions because it offers a more natural look that blends better with your current hair. It is also more versatile, so you can easily style, color, and treat it. Real hair extensions also offer our clients durability and comfort for long-lasting results.

Are Hair Extensions Right For You?

Determining if extensions are right for you depends on your hair goals and personal preferences. Most individuals who have thin or short hair get extensions to create volume, whereas some want to experiment with different colors without making a permanent decision. Deciding to get hair extensions from a salon is an investment in yourself, so it’s important to decide if you’re willing to spend the money maintaining your hair extensions.

The life span of hair extensions can vary depending on the type of extension. Typically, extensions can last anywhere from four to six weeks. To ensure your extensions last, as long as possible, it’s important to follow key maintenance requirements:

  • Brushing: Gently brush your extensions daily to prevent matting.

  • Washing: Every two to three days, wash your hair carefully.

  • Styling: Avoid heat-styling tools as much as possible, since it damages the adhesives.

Maintenance: Have extensions moved up or adjusted every eight to twelve weeks by a professional.

Types of Hair Extensions We Offer

Once you decide that professional hair extensions are right for you, then our team will determine which type of extensions we should place in your hair. There are several types of hair extensions available, including:

  • Tape-in extensions: This type of hair extension is sectioned off, pre-taped with medical-grade glue, and attached to your natural hair near the roots.

Hand-tied extensions: These are wefts of hair that are sewn together by hand and attached to your natural hair using beads.

The Process

Our process for putting in hair extensions can vary based on the type of extension we decide to use. For tape-in extensions, one of our stylists will work with adhesive glue and attach sections of the extensions to your natural hair near the root. During the appointment, we will determine how many extensions will be needed to achieve your desired look.

Hand-tied extensions require our stylists to attach wefts to your natural hair by separating your hair into sections. Our stylists will slip small beads carefully into your hair to secure the extensions, allowing for less tension on the scalp.

At Salon Prism, we want our clients to be the best version of themselves and that means helping you achieve your desired look through highlights, styling, and hair extensions.
