Stylist’s Expertise

Stylist's Expertise

Experience: How long have you been working with hair extensions, and how often do you install them?

I have been doing different methods of hair extensions since 2020.  I have been specializing in healthy weft method installations for 3 years, and just recently became an educator. 

2. Certifications: Are you certified or trained in installing extensions?

Not only do I have 3 different certifications in different methods and brands, but I also focus on constant continuous education to ensure i’m delivering the most healthy and quick installations to work for every hair type.

3. Specialty: Do you specialize in working with bridal hairstyles and extensions?

I do not work directly in the bridal hair field; however, I am able to apply the extensions in a strategic way to work with any bridal hair style.  As long as the bride comes in with an idea of how she wants her hair to look on her special day, we can install accordingly!  It’s even better if we can get them installed before their trial! 

Hair Extensions Type

4. Types of Extensions: What types of hair extensions do you work with (clip-ins, tape-ins, sew-ins, bonded, etc.)?

I provide temporary extensions such as halos and clips ins, and semi-permanent extensions such as sew-in wefts, bonds, tapes, and mesh-integration toppers. 

5. Hair Quality: Are the extensions 100% human hair, synthetic, or a blend? What is the grade or quality?

I use the highest quality of hair currently on the market- Harper Ellis Hair Co Extensions!  They 100% Remy, double drawn, silicone free, human hair extensions that are ethically sourced.  Their one-of-a-kind manufacturing process focuses on keeping the hairs’ natural bond intact, creating hair that lasts a long time and holds color longer!

6. Customization: Can the extensions be color-matched to my natural hair or wedding hairstyle?

Absolutely!  All extensions are custom ordered to match you desired color, and they can also be customized for a one-of-a-kind blend! 

Styling and Maintenance

7. Styling Options: Can you style the extensions for the wedding (e.g., curls, updos, braids)?

Absolutely! Because of the quality of the hair and it being 100% human grade, it can be treated the same way as your natural hair! Placement is key to this, though! It’s extremely important for the extension artist to know what kind of style the bride will be receiving. 

8. Maintenance: How should I care for the extensions leading up to and after the wedding?

Usually, it’s recommended that the extensions are applied before any trail run of the bridal hair.  This important for a lot of reasons such as the stylists getting familiar with th placement of the extensions and the bride getting used to her “new normal” of having more hair before the big day so it isn’t so foreign.

9. Longevity: How long will the extensions last? Can they be reused for other events or occasions?

Without a doubt!  With semi-permanent methods, hair can last anywhere from 10-14 months with proper care and routine maintenance. With temporary methods, hair can last almost double that depending on care at home and how often they are worn. 

Trial and Preparation

10. Trial Run: Do you offer a trial session to see how the extensions will look with my wedding hairstyle?

  As I don’t work with brides directly with their style on the wedding day, I recommend installing the extensions and/or having them fitted before the trial date so the stylist can get familiar with where they are and work with the bride to determine the best look!

11. Timing: When should the extensions be installed before the wedding day?

It’s recommended to have extensions installed before the trial to ensure the stylist can work with them and achieve the brides’ desired look on the day. 

12. Preparation: What should I do to prepare my hair before the appointment?

The first thing to take a look at is the color of your hair- are you happy with it or need a change?  If it needs to be changed, we can take care of that and install the extensions the same day and change the whole look!  If you’re happy with the color, we just ask you to come to the salon with clean, dry hair, with minimal stylist products added! 

Comfort and Fit

13. Comfort: Are these extensions comfortable to wear for long periods, especially during the wedding day?

Absolutely! Semi-permanent methods are going to be naturally more comfortable, as they are more of an extension of you and there’s no chance for them to slip out or be seen while dancing the night away!  Temporary methods are comfortable; however, there’s more of a chance the hair will shift or potentially slip. 

14. Hair Damage: Will these extensions damage my natural hair? If so, how can I minimize the risk?

Absolutely not!  Because of the method I use to install, and my due diligence during the process, there should be no damage to the natural hair.  Of course, at home care is very important with this as well- which is gon into in depth at the installation appointment. 

Pricing and Policies

15. Cost: What is the total cost for the extensions, installation, and styling? Are there any hidden fees?

I use all-inclusive pricing when pricing out extension services, starting at $500.  This means, hair, prep, install, and a maintenance kit are all included!  I also have financing options available as well. Due to the custom nature of extensions, we would have to chat during an in-person consultation to determine the best method and placement for the hair- as well as color. Then i’m able to give an exact price.

16. Deposit and Cancellation: Do you require a deposit? What is your cancellation or refund policy?

An initial investment is required to book an install appointment, then the remaining installation balance is due day of. I do it this way to make the actual fun part more affordable and so the costs can get broken up a little! When using our financing options, I can roll the total cost into that and just pay monthly, but already have your gorgeous hair! 

Our cancellation policy states, in the need of a cancellation, we need a 72-hour notice to not incur any fees.  If the appointment is not rescheduled within that time, the install appointment is subject to a 50% fee.  If the appointment is no-showed, we charge 80% of the install cost.  

There are no refunds. 

We have these policies in place to protect our business, as well as the guest! 

17. Product Ownership: Do I own the extensions after the wedding, or are they rentals?

Any hair that has been installed is 100% property of the guest!  If the guest needs me to hold onto their hair after an event, or for a break, we hold the hair for up to 6 months! 

Wedding Day Logistics

18. Day-Of Styling: Will you be available on the wedding day for touch-ups or adjustments?

No, but your bridal stylist will be there and, if it is in their contract to stay, they definitely will! 

19. Travel: Are you willing to travel to the wedding venue? If so, are there additional travel fees?

We do not offer bridal hair at this time! But you will have your stylist there to help with anything you need! 

20. Team Assistance: If you are unavailable on the wedding day, do you have a team member who can assist?

N/A

Aftercare

21. Removal: Do you provide services to remove the extensions, if necessary, after the wedding?

Of course!  Removal is an option at any time for $100/hr. 

22. Follow-Up: Do you offer follow-up appointments to maintain the extensions or address any issues?

Absolutely!  Within 7 days, if there are any issues with the extensions, we ask that you let us know so we can have you come in for any  complimentary adjustments! With semi-permanent methods, you’ll need move ups every 6-8 weeks or 2-3 months! 

Custom Concerns

23. Hair Type: Have you worked with hair types similar to mine (curly, fine, thick, etc.) before?

I’ve been in the industry for 11 years!  I’ve worked with all ethnicities and hair types. 

24. Weather Considerations: How will the extensions and style hold up in the weather conditions expected on my wedding day?

Because they are human hair, they will behave as such!  I can also recommend certain products to your bridal stylist to ensure it’s a beautiful hair day!
