We are absolutely thrilled that you've chosen us for your extension services! Your decision means the world to us, and we're dedicated to ensuring your experience is nothing short of fantastic. The following page will guide you through expert care tips to keep your extensions looking fabulous for longer.
*For optimal results during any extension services, we require that you arrive with clean, dry hair free of any product. We suggest clarifying your hair the night before and applying conditioner only to the ends.
BRUSHING-Use a boar bristle brush daily to remove any knots or tangles.Gather the hair into a ponytail & securely hold close to the scalp, Begin brushing from the ends, carefully working toward to scalp. Brushing your hair before it gets wet will keep the hair from tangling while washing. Be sure to brush the top and underneath of the extension.
WASHING-Brush extensions thoroughly before washing to remove tangles. Now that your hair is thicker, you may need to divide the hair into two (or more) sections on either side of the head and wash section by section.
SHAMPOO- Use a sulfate free & paraben free shampoo. Begin at the scalp & massage shampoo into hair using a 'Z' formation. Do not use a circular motion or flip head upside down as this causes tangles. Part hair & rinse all the way to the scalp. If you used the ponytail method to section hair, rinse one at a time. Follow with a final rinse.
CONDITION-Use a hydrating conditioner. Apply conditioner from mid-shaft down to the ends of hair & leave on for 2-3 minutes. Adding conditioner at the point of attachment may cause slipping
DRYING- Towel or air dry as much as possible before using a blow dryer. To protect your extensions, we recommend using leave in conditioners, heat protectants, as well as treatment oils from mid-shaft to ends. Using a blow-dryer, rough dry the hair. Starting at the ends & working your way up toward the scalp, round brush the hair. Be sure to dry point of attachment thoroughly.
STYLING TOOLS- Extensions are safe to use with thermal tools like curling irons, wands, flat irons.Temperature setting depends on your natural hair. You may use between 270-450 F on your extensions as long as you apply proper heat protectants.
PRODUCTS-Use professional grade products recommended by your stylist.

SUNSCREENS-Avoid the use of chemical-based sunscreens, as this can discolor the hair. Use mineral-based sunscreens only
SLEEPING- Brush hair gently and loosely braid before sleeping. Do not go to bed with wet hair as it can cause tangling close to scalp. If this occurs, schedule an appt. with your stylist immediately.
Do not attempt to color or lighten your hair yourself at home. If you take proper care of your extensions they can last up to 9-12 months.You must schedule regular appointments with your stylist for maintenance.
