So - you’re curious about hair extensions. This is the place to satisfy your curiosity! Let me start off by saying - I love hair extensions. My whole career is helping humans feel good and beautiful, and nothing else gives you such an incredible transformation in on day. The glow, the confidence, the pure joy that radiates from my guests when they see their final result is unmatched and I live for it.
Hair extensions are known for extending length, and if you want booty hugging locks this is definitely the fastest and healthiest way to achieve that - but extensions offer so much more than adding length.
Maybe you don’t want extra long hair, but think your hair could be fuller. We can give you more density with or without adding length.
Happy with the length and thickness of your hair, but it just never fills in around your face. Guess what boo - a few extensions might be for you.
Love a colour that your hair is not able to get, or is too damaged to get to, or is too high maintenance - you already know what I’m going to say. Extensions are your key to chemical free colour change.
Wearing hair extensions will give you the confidence and hair you only dreamed of, while protecting your natural hair while you wear them. Your natural hair is exposed to 85% less heat and sun, meaning that it has a chance to grow longer, healthier, & fuller without the usual stressors of daily life.
Hair extensions should never hurt or damage your hair or scalp. If they do, they were either installed incorrectly, you were provided with the wrong type of extension for your hair, or something didn’t line up with your home care or maintenance schedule.
Following the care instructions and routine prescribed by your stylist is of utmost importance.
In line with everything else in the studio, I only work with the best.
My hair extensions are always:
Ethically Sourced
Remy/Cuticle Intact
Not processed with acid baths/harsh chemicals
Canadian owned
Keratin bonds do not use animal derived keratin
I constantly take training on the methods of hair extensions I provide to provide the highest quality experience.
FAQ
What can I expect at my consultation?
Your consultation is as much for you as it is for me! You will walk away with all the information you need to decide if wearing hair extensions is the right choice for you.
We will talk about what your goals are, if they are achievable(if not what could be achievable), home care, maintenance, price, and I will answer any questions you bring with you. I’ll take a look at your scalp health and hair structure to determine what methods of extensions are best suited for you and provide you with an exact quote.
How can I prepare for my consultation?
Come with any inspiration photos and questions, have an idea of what you’d like. I will be looking at your hair and scalp, so having relatively clean hair is nice but not mandatory. If you are coming in already hoping to move forward with the process be prepared to pay your deposit in order to book your first appointment.
How long do hair extensions last?
With proper in-salon maintenance and home care, the hair extensions I use can last upwards of a year.
How often do I come in to the salon?
Your maintenance schedule will depend on your natural hair, how well you follow home care instructions, and which method of extensions you receive. The most frequent is 4 weeks, the least frequent is 5 months.
Can I colour my natural hair with extensions in?
Yes - with exceptions. I am able to colour your hair around the extensions, or during maintenance appointments. If you wear K-Tips there is a chance that oxidative colour could degrade the bonds, in these cases I recommend colouring your hair first so that there is a little room around them when you’re ready for a touch-up.
Can I colour my extensions?
I can darken hair extensions, but not lighten since it’s is likely to reduce their lifespan. And, IMO, it’s just not worth risking your investment when we can start with a lighter shade and darken as needed. Most frequently I custom root or add lowlights to add a seamless blend into your natural hair.
Do I cut my hair with extensions?
I will trim your hair prior to installation, and then I will blend the extensions into your hair so you look seamless. Your extensions are real hair and behave the same way your own does, so we will trim them as needed to avoid split ends and keep them looking healthy.
Can I heat style my extensions?
Your extensions are real hair just like yours, and will respond very well to being heat styled! If your hair has trouble holding a curl you will probably LOVE curling your hair while wearing extensions. Just make sure you are using a professional quality heat protector!
Will my hair become damaged/will I lose hair?
No. Your own hair should never become damaged from extensions. If it is, either your extensions were applied incorrectly, you were given the wrong type of extension, or something went wrong with the home care.
You will see hair come out at your maintenance appointment - this is hair that you naturally shed that would have come out while you shower/brush/feel the wind, but didn’t because your extension attachment held it in. Your natural hair will actually get healthier and grow longer because it is more protected while you wear extensions.
How much do extensions cost?
Hair extensions are a completely custom service, and the price varies greatly from person - person which is the reason I only provide exact quotes after a consultation. The starting price for filling in low density areas around your face starts at $360 and increases from there based on your individual desires.
