Hair Extensions in Michigan

Long, full beach waves are achievable in just two appointments with us, a consult then the hair application. We’ve broken down everything you need to know about hair extensions before your consultation. 

The 4-1-1

Hand-tied extensions are a method where a stylist attaches beads onto a row of a client's natural hair, similar to the beaded weft method. The detailed process is ideal for those looking to add more volume and length that looks natural without putting too much tension on the scalp or hair.

The cost 

Hand-tied installation costs will vary depending on your location and hair goals, but the price typically starts at $300. This cost does not include the value of the hair. Generally, you'll need between 2-3 rows if your objective is volume, and those with finer hair types can expect to use up to 3 rows (meaning you'll likely need to purchase two packs of hair). Upkeep is typically less of an investment over time, starting at $200 to push up (aka tighten) one row, and the price increases depending on the number of rows that need adjusting. 

Your desired length

It is so important to be realistic about the length you want. To achieve the best results, start with your current length and then figure out how long you want or can go from there. If your hair is short (above the shoulder), you want to make sure you integrate your length properly so don't go too long... especially if you don't have layers. We offer lengths of 20” and 22”.

How long do they last? 

The longevity of your style will depend on how you care for your hair post-appointment. Generally, hand-tied extensions can last for about 6-9 weeks before needing to be redone. But, the time between appointments depends on how fast your hair grows and if you're taking the time to care for your hair properly.

The hair extensions themselves should last longer if they are being properly cared for, and can generally be reused for about 6-8 months.

You'll also want to ensure that you are scheduling proper maintenance appointments to reduce tension on the scalp. Having them moved up and removed in the right time frame will help make sure that there's not too much tension on your hair as they grow out. Even with extensions, I encourage properly detangling, cleansing, and moisturizing your own hair even while wearing extensions.

When you're on the hunt for products to keep your extensions looking their best, many of the tried-and-true hair "dos" apply, especially when it comes to your shampoo and conditioner: Stay away from sulfates, and when heat styling, and apply a heat protectant to prevent damaging your hair and causing split ends on your extensions (yes, extensions can develop split ends too).

Now that you have the basics down, it’s time to schedule your extension consult with us to talk about the details + pricing based on your desired look!
