BRANDS & TYPES OF HAIR EXTENSION OFFERED:
- I-Tip: Small sections of hair are pulled through a small bead then locked and clamped shut with a special tool.
- Wefts: 2-8 inch wide, applied to the hair in rows rather than individual strands.
- Tape-In: Applied by using either double-sided polyurethane tape.
- Sew-in hair extensions: Temporary addition to your natural hair.
- Toupe: Hairpiece mainly designed for men that covers partial baldness.
I Tip extensions are installed with a strand-by-strand application, without using heat or glue, this is especially great for those with thinning hair around the hairline. Application is achieved by threading each i tip and a strand of the client’s hair into the looping tool, through a hair extension looping bead and then attached by clamping the bead to the client’s hair. We use high quality copper beads and protective silicone lining which is the most gentle on the hair.
To apply, remove the backing from the weft, exposing the polyurethane and lay a thin veil of hair over the top. A second weft is applied directly on top of the first weft, “sandwiching” the natural hair in between. Guests with thinner hair have the option to use only a single weft with single-sided tape which will create a realistic hair density.
Keratips (K Tips) extensions are installed using a heat element which safely melts the Keratin Tips onto your hair. This Keratin Tip is partially made of the same naturally occurring protein found in your hair. A silicone additive on the K-tip helps to create a protective coating for your natural hair strands. The K-tips are bonded close to the roots of the hair, your accredited stylist will ensure there is enough space to allow free movement of your hair which maintains natural layered texture and feel to your hair.
Hand-Tied Weft extensions are crafted with the highest quality 100% Remy human hair. These lightweight veils are hand knotted with fine thread and are designed to lay close to the scalp for maximum comfort and wearability. Stack wefts for volume, blend different shades to add dimension or even create a custom color for your guest. Hand-Tied Wefts give you the ultimate flexibility to showcase your artistry.
Sew-in hair extensions are a temporary addition to your natural hair. They can be used for many different reasons, such as adding length and volume or even changing the color of your locks. The term “sew-in” is often interchangeable with “wefted”. The two terms refer to attaching human hair using threading methods that are then stitched to the natural hair. The process of installing sew in extensions can be divided into three steps: prepping your own natural hair, attaching them, and styling them.
A toupee is a hairpiece mainly designed for men that covers partial baldness. Transform your look instantly with our natural-looking human hair systems.
Fun Facts
As unbelievable as it may sound, the first hair extensions date back to 5000 BC and Ancient Egypt with the first documented proof of their usage being the hair weaves used by Egyptians in 3400 BC. This hairstyle was a symbol of status and wealth and both women and men wore wigs or sewn-on hair pieces. The wealthy men shaved their heads and used the hair to make ornamented wigs out of it. They used human hair – their and the hair of poorer Egyptians who sell it. The poorer men who wanted to be fashionable as well, used mainly dyed sheep wool for their wigs. Egyptian women added hair extensions and braids, which were usually of bright colors – gold, blue, red, etc. They used resin and bee wax to attach the extensions. Cleopatra also weaved her hair and her favorite color was peacock blue. The aristocrats in Ancient Egypt used the different knots, twists and braids as a symbol of their status, age, religion and wealth.
