Tightline method- wefts are sewn onto “braid not braid” which means its not just a braid an done in the direction of the hair growth. It is also added with more details to make it stronger than braid would be with just your hair alone.

Beaded method- wefts are sewn onto a base of a row of silicone lined beads with string close lined through it.

Hand tied hair is sold separate per weft and varies depending on length. Plenty of hair is always in stock. This is to be discussed upon consultation, which is necessary before appointment is made.

move up pricing 150/ row 1, 100/ additional rows

200/ row when new color blend is being done

Very fine hair- 6-8weeks
Fine hair- 8 weeks
Med-thick- 8-10 weeks
◦ I wouldn’t recommend going more than 12 weeks ever

The natural hair can still be colored while the extensions are in.

These extensions are individual pieces that are clasped at the root by a bead. These can be done to add pops of color or adding length and/or volume. They are sold in packs. And charge 100 an hr. 
Move ups are done every 6-8 weeks and charged the same as installed the first time 
The hair may be reused for move ups but due to the fine strands that they are, more packs may be needed. The difference between the I-tip and flat-tip is the thickness of the strand an how it lays on the head. Flat tip is a little wider an lays a little flatter . 
For volume -4 packs are needed
For volume and length- 8 packs are needed
For pops of color or added hi lights – 1 pack is needed

Small wefts of hair brick laid through the head giving volume and/or volume and length. The wefts are attached by 2 wefts and a thin strand of hair sandwiched in between, forming a bonding between the 2 tapes. This is customized by other techniques of this method to ensure your hair is being given only the appropriate weight it can handle. This hair can also be reused up to a year with proper care. 
For volume- 1 to 2 packs
For volume and length- 4-6 packs
You buy your hair in packs at cost. The 1st install is $150. Which includes the any cutting necessary.
Maintenance is every 6-8 weeks having them removed, retapped and reinstalled. This process is more work and time than your first install. The cost is $250.

For starters a consult appointment is required. Bring a picture of how you used to look with hair and/or your goal picture.

For men 4-6 hair systems are usually required per year but could be more depending on the piece you desire as all are made differently.

This will also require monthly service appointments to re-bond the hair. A monthly program for pricing may be set up for you but 1/3 of required hair pieces will be required up front as your deposit.

For women, 2 hair pieces should bought before service to take place. Women require less because their hair systems are bigger and are made with more hair. 

I ask that you get more than one system to maintain a consistent look at all times. And of course more than 1 is needed through the year due to wear an tare.

Pricing varies per piece an needs to be discussed more thoroughly during the consult.

Privacy for appointments is also ensured so you can keep everything a secret.
