INSTALLATION OF HAIR EXTENSIONS

We are proud to be your best hair extension destination in the region!

Soft, silky, long, shiny hair with just the right shade … just what you’ve always dreamed of … that’s exactly what our hair extension specialists will achieve for you.

I-TIPS (BEADS/MICRO-RINGS)

Silicone tip protects hair, is versatile and durable. Attached to natural hair with micro beads or micro rings, near the roots (each strand is pressed with a small strand of natural hair into the micro bead/micro ring with a clip).

No glue or heat required! Works great for blending different shades or creating highlights or shadows, because the highlights are thin. This technique blends surprisingly well with natural hair.

Quick and easy to refresh, just open the micro bead / micro ring (“unclench it”), pull it up closer to the root and press it again.

U-TIPS / KERATIN HEAT FUSION

Keratin is very similar to human hair, so it does not damage natural hair. The “U” shape allows the extension strand to be “wrapped” around the natural hair section.

Then it is sealed with a professional fusion iron. This technique allows the extension to blend into natural hair, for a very natural look and an imperceptible appearance.

U-Tips are wider than I-tips, so you can customize them by cutting the sections to create 2-3 smaller sections for finer hair.

ADHESIVE STRIPS

Strips can be reused up to 3 times with pre-glued strips. Easy to apply (and remove) and style, perfect for all hair types, they resist heat, give beautiful volume and length to hair.

Tape-in hair extensions/hair extensions are one of the most popular and fastest hair extension/hair extension techniques!

Frequently Asked Questions

Questions and answers about eyelash extensions

How should I care for my hair extensions?

  • The extensions should not undergo any discoloration (bleetch) however, we can dye them as we see fit. However, it is better to go see a professional!
  • It’s best to detangle your hair when it’s dry. If you detangle them when they are wet, take a detangling product and go gently, starting at the tip, while holding your hair at mid-length with your other hand.
    Please note: UNIQ ONE is the best product for your extension cords, they will have a much longer lifespan!!
  • Do not use any drugstore shampoo; these contain sulphate and propabane and this will dry out your extensions!!!. Use salon shampoo (without oil) preferably. Rinse well. If there is shampoo left between your extensions and your head, there is a risk of itching. Well, well, rinse well, tilting your head back. Never go to bed with wet hair!
  • Recommended shampoos: Paul Mitchell original, Cynos, Smooth sexy hair
  • Important: Pass your fingers between the micro-rings and anchor points regularly to avoid knots!
  • To curl the extensions, it is better to use a curling iron rather than the flat iron. If you use the flat iron, avoid pulling on the extensions. Hold them at the root. Avoid brushing near attachment points (beads or glue).
  • Do not put conditioner on the beads (or glue) at the root of the extensions.
  • It is best not to wash your hair immediately before applying extensions, in fact we ask you to wait MINIMUM 24 hours before washing them.
    You can sleep with your hair tied, this avoids mixing the extensions during sleep, a braid remains the best option!
  • Due to your natural hair growth, it is not recommended to wear your extensions longer than 3 months “no maintenance”. The reason for the follow-up and maintenance is that when well cared for at home, the extensions are still in good condition when removed and can be used again!
  • Avoid sea water.

Do extensions damage my hair?

To avoid damaging your hair, never keep the same set of extensions for more than 4 months and have them removed by a hairdressing professional.

How many extension packs do I need?

It all depends on your hair length and thickness: the shorter and thicker they are, the more extensions you need. A minimum of 3 packs of 25 wicks is suggested. For the rest, a qualified technician can guide you during the consultation appointment.

What are REMY Extensions?

This is actually a quality standard for hair used for extensions. It is in no way a guarantee of geographical origin, nor of a brand. Remy Hair has been cut in the direction of natural hair growth, which ensures tangle-free locks. In other words, all hair cuticles go in the same direction.

How many times can I reuse my extensions?

Keratin extensions are not reusable. Micro ring extensions can be reused more than once, depending on how well you maintain them.
