FAQ about Hair Extensions |
The following are Frequently Asked Questions related to Hair Extensions. As each person’s needs are unique, all of your questions will be answered and discussed in detail during your first consultation. At that time, we will determine which technique best suits your personal needs
1-What are the basic functions of hair extensions?
To thicken your existing hair
To lengthen your existing hair
To correct a bad haircut
To correct over-processed hair
2- How natural do hair extensions look?
Recent techniques allow a completely natural look. Remember that we only detect extensions that are not well suited to the individual.
3- What types of hair exist?
Most clients choose hair extensions made of human hair. All lengths, colours, textures, densities and hair quality can be ordered; the world is your oyster! Most human hair provided to make hair extensions originates from Europe, India or Asia. Natural hair is maintained in a very similar fashion to your own. Heat sources such as hair dryers, curling irons can be used. Synthetic hair is not usually an option. This fiber will not tolerate heat (hair dryers or curling irons) and chemical processing (perms or dyes) will be ineffective.
4-How are they attached?
There are many methods of attachment; these are divided into two categories: Semi-permanent and Temporary.
Here are some of the most popular:
Micro-links: These are miniature clasps that are firmly fastened to your existing hair, onto which we attach the extensions by row or strand. This Semi-permanent method stays firmly in place 24/7 and requires periodical adjustments.
Comb clips: These are small clips that are permanently fastened to the inside of the hair extensions. These clips press open-and-shut and grip onto your natural hair. This is a Temporary method.

Yes, semi-permanent methods will respond to the demands of the most active lifestyles. The attachments will stay in place.
6-Are there any risks in damaging the scalp or preventing re-growth of the existing hair?
No. Hair extensions are made with thin, weightless materials that let your scalp breathe normally. If you follow all of the advice from your hair technician, your existing hair will stay healthy and strong. Our goal is to always salvage your existing hair; it’s actually to our advantage; we need it to eventually re-affix new extensions!
