What to Ask For
Extensions come in different methods—tape-in, sew-in, clip-in, or fusion—and not every salon offers all types. When you call or book, ask specifically which methods they work with. Also mention your hair type and what you're hoping to achieve. A good extension specialist will ask you questions about your lifestyle: How often are you willing to maintain them? What's your budget looking like? These conversations help them suggest the right fit.
Booking Your Appointment
About 60% of the salons here offer online booking, so you can secure a time slot without a phone call. All the salons listed have ratings from customers, which gives you a sense of the work quality before you walk in. If you don't see online booking available, calling ahead is still quick—just know it might take a day or two to confirm.
What to Expect
Extension appointments run long—plan for 2–4 hours depending on the method and the amount of hair you're adding. Bring photos of the style you want if you have them. If this is your first time with extensions, ask the salon how often you'll need to come back for maintenance. Some methods need regular touch-ups; others are lower commitment.
