It depends on your hair density, how you like to style it, and how much maintenance you want. Hand-tied wefts (like Hot Heads) sit flat and reposition as you move up in size; tape-ins are quick to install; keratin bonds hold in individual strands for a more customized placement. We walk through all three at your consultation.

The hair itself, cared for properly, can be reused for a year or more. How long a single install lasts before it needs to be moved up depends on the method: hand-tied wefts typically need repositioning every 6 to 8 weeks as your natural hair grows.

Properly installed and maintained extensions should not damage healthy hair. The risk comes from incorrect placement, going too long between maintenance appointments, or a method that doesn't suit your hair's current condition, which is exactly what the consultation is for.

Extensions are color-matched in person against your natural hair, including any highlights or balayage, before they're ordered or installed, so the blend is seamless rather than a guess from a color chart.

A first-time install is the longest appointment, since it includes the consultation, color matching, and placement. Maintenance visits to move the wefts up are shorter. We'll give you a specific time estimate once we know which method you're using.

Yes, your natural hair can still be colored around the extensions. We coordinate the color and extension schedule together, usually coloring first, so the two services work with each other rather than against each other and the blend stays seamless.
