  • Fusion Hair System

    Also known as protein based extensions. They use a keratin bond which acts as a protein to protect your hair where it is being bonded. They are fused into your hair strand by strand. This method takes up to 2 hours and can last from three to six months with regular maintenance. Normally we recommend that you come back every 6 weeks for maintenance. As your own hair grows, hair extensions tend to move down as well, so they need to be pushed up every other few weeks. This is our most popular method and I personally advocate for this method as I believe the keratin in the bond do protect the hair to some extent. Do not confuse this method with glue extensions, this method only use protein bonds.

  • Braided Weaving Hair System

    Weaving is an ancient technique used to add volume and length without the use of any resin. This extension can be unnoticeable as the hair weave are sewn onto the natural hair, which has been braided underneath first and cannot be seen. Weaving is one of the best natural techniques used for extensions, it protects the natural hair and allows the hair to grow, giving the hair a complete break from chemicals. This method uses hair that comes on a long weft and is attached in rows. It is a good method in that it injects a full body of hair within minutes. Lasts from three to six months with regular maintenance, the hair is re-usable. Normally we recommend that you come back every 6 weeks for maintenance. As your own hair grows, hair extensions tend to move down as well, so they need to be pushed up every other few weeks. This is the preferred method of most celebrities like kim and Chloe Kardashain,Beyonce, Rhianna, Jeniffer Aniston etc. Not every type of hair everyone will suit the weaves , but discuss this with your hair extensionist.

  • Tape Hair Extensions

    These are the ultimate hair accessory for achieving the most natural looking and undetectable hair extensions, they are weightless and seamless. Very Ideal for fine hair and all other types of hair textures. The application time is between 30-60 minutes. Normally we recommend that you come back every 6 weeks for maintenance. As your own hair grows, hair extensions tend to move down as well, so they need to be pushed up every other few weeks. The only down side of this method is that, it can be high maintenance. The tapes can easily slide out, they need extreme care. The removal of tapes can be a bit messy depending on the type of tape use. We recommend the water resistant tape for this method.

  • Intergration Hair Loss Extension System

    Women can experience hair loss for many different reasons. It is not uncommon but it can be upsetting! This is a very dramatic place for those who’ve experienced hair loss first hand. It can be extremely difficult to handle the emotional toll this experience can take on someone. 


    For clients who are experiencing partial hair loss, we use a hair intergration method where we intergarte hair extensions and your own hair.  This techniques uses a hair piece with a false scalp,  we attach this using a braid weave or micro weave.  It is a unique technique and its been life changing to our clients, thats why we have clients coming as far as Gore and Australia to have this done.  Melissa Pireni-Ndebele was trained in this unique application technique in Chicago in 2008, and has helped so many people with alopacia.


    For clients experiencing total  loss due to alopacia or from chemotherapy treatments, we also have medical wigs.  They all come in different shapes and sizes and  most of our wigs come in human hair. Why we choose human is for the simple reason that it will respond like your own hair and looks more natural as compared to synthetic hair.  Our wigs come as full lace wigs, lace front wigs,monofilament wigs, and full cap wigs.  All of these wigs are breathable, and have light bases.  We can also custom order the wigs as per customer specifications.

Care and Maintenance of Hair Extensions

  • Maintenance

    The most important aspect of any hair enhancement service is proper maintenance. Although some stylists may state that certain extension methods can last up to 6 months without maintenance, or other methods may be able to "just grow out" this is NOT TRUE. This is the main reason hair extension services have a bad reputation, and the way hair is damaged by these types of services. When hair extensions are properly maintained, both at home and in the salon by your extension professional, a healthy head will suffer no damage upon proper removal of your extensions. Because many stylists make a large profit from initial applications, and because maintenance of the service is usually more time consuming and less profitable for a stylist, many establishments do not offer maintenance. Instead they will wait until a full head needs to be redone and the client will pay the entire application cost again, often every 3 to 6 months. At this point some damage has usually occurred to the natural hair. Be aware of any establishment that does not offer you a regular maintenance schedule or tells you an enhancement method does not require in salon maintenance. Because of the natural growth of hair, no extensions should be worn past 3 months without maintenance. There are non-arguable reasons for this.

What to Expect When Extensions Are In

  • Advantages
    • It is the quickest way to get long hair. Growing out your hair at the rate of 1/2-in. per month would take several years of patience.
    • Get a beautiful flowing hair style for a special event such as weddings, proms, dances, etc.
    • Transform hair thinning and alopecia issues instantly. We have developed methods specifically for hair thinning and alopecia patients, see our hair loss page.
  • Disadvatages
    • You may get headaches or neck strain.  The extra weight of the human hair extensions initially may cause you to have headaches. If your stylist is using any sort of braiding for the sewn-in extensions, fusion or micro rings, there also could be extra tension to the scalp, however this settles within a 3-7 day period.
    • Certain hair extension methods may impose limitations on styling your hair. If the bonds are applied too close to the hair line, they may be very visible when pulling your hair back in a pony tail, also, because of the way some extensions are designed, your hair will look great when it is lying flat. Talk to anyone who has long hair and ask them how they take care of it! You will need to condition it on a regular basis and maybe use more hair care products than you normally would. Also, consider that it will take longer to dry, longer to style and longer to brush or comb out tangles. Long hair requires extra work. Be prepared to maintain the hair. Everyone responds differently to extensions, if your hair is extremely fragile or damaged, it may not be able to support the extra weight of the hair extensions unfortunately it is practically impossible to know how your hair will respond before the application of extensions.
    • Using the recommended hair products is very important. Each method of attachment, whether it is bonding glue, wax or keratin based products, can be compromised by hair products that break down the bonds. DO NOT USE SHAMPOOS THAT CONTAIN ANY CITRIC ACID or LAURYL SULPHATE.
