What Questions to Ask Before Hiring a Hair Extension Specialist:
Getting hair extensions is a great way to make your life easier. A good set of extensions add volume and length to your hair, making styling a no-brainer and giving you a gorgeous look every day. But as always, we know that open lines of communication between you and your stylist are so so important for getting you the best results, so here are some questions to ask before hiring a hair extension specialist! These will help you ensure that you’re hiring the right person for the job, who can give you what you need to put your best hair forward!
What method of installation will you be using?
When it comes to hair extensions, not all methods give the same result. Your stylist may recommend one method over another. Ask them why! Your stylist should be at ease with telling you the reasoning behind their decisions, this means that they are knowledgeable and able to explain to you exactly why bonding the keratin with heat may be better for you than the taping method. There are many different considerations your stylist will be making in approaching your extensions installation, so they may even use a mixture of different methods! And the more they can explain to you about their thought process, the better!
How long will they last?
Depending on the type of extensions and how skillfully they are installed, your extensions should last you anywhere from three months to a year with proper maintenance. Ask your stylist to get a sense of when you’ll need to come back to get a new set!
How should I take care of my extensions?
Always ask your stylist about the right kind of shampoos, conditioners, and styling products to guarantee you get the most life out of your extensions. Also make sure to learn about how to brush them out, what to do with them while you’re sleeping, and how best to style your extensions! Most salons will also offer a maintenance package, allowing you to come in on a regular basis to get your extensions touched up and looking like new again! Ask about these services and how often you should be coming in for a tune-up.
How much will it cost?
Great-looking, professional hair extensions are not cheap. A set can range anywhere from hundreds to thousands of dollars, plus maintenance. Be sure to ask your stylist about their pricing packages to see what kind of extensions may be right for you and your wallet!
