1. Hybrid Weft Extensions
Hybrid Weft Extensions are extremely comfortable and one of the most popular methods of extensions. You are able to customize these wefts for length and fullness. Not only do these extensions create a seamless blend, but they only need to be moved up every 6-8 weeks!
While there are many different ways to install hybrid wefts, the way that we install them is by attaching them with silicon beads. We then sew the wefts to the beads giving it a seamless look with no glue! Each row costs $175 and it includes a toner and a haircut. We usually recommend at least two rows, but that is based on the desired end look.
2. Kera-Link Hair Extensions
This type of extension is amazing for those with extremely fine hair. You are able to cut them up and make tiny extensions that can go virtually up to the hairline. It can fill any holes or even balding spots! This type of extension allows for 360-degree movement so it is comfortable to wear up.
Because these extensions are individually installed, they take a good amount of time to be put in. If you are doing a full head, it can take around 6 hours. This cost of hair usually starts at $120 per pack and they recommend getting at least 6-8 packs of Keralink hair extensions for fullness.
The installation itself costs $600 for a full head of Keralink hair extensions. Sometimes, people like doing pops of color in which case you can just get one pack of hair, and usually the installation costs $100 for a full pack of hair. The cost of hair varies by your desired length, so make sure you do a thorough consultation with your stylist.
