What to Ask When You Book
Extensions work best when your stylist has real experience and can walk you through everything—from installation to care. When you call or book, ask which installation methods they offer. Tape-in, sew-in, clip-in, and bonded extensions are all common, and different salons often focus on different systems. Ask which one they'd recommend for your hair type and lifestyle. You should also ask about maintenance schedules: most clients need a fill or refresh every 6–8 weeks, depending on how fast your hair grows and which method you chose. Know what that maintenance looks like before you book.
Finding Your Salon
All six salons here have ratings from real clients, ranging from 4.6 to 5.0 stars. When you're comparing them, look at both the star rating and the number of reviews. A salon with 65 reviews shows a longer track record than one with 10. More data usually means a clearer picture of what service is really like. Half of these salons let you book online, which saves you a phone call if you like that. Either way, be clear about what you want—your hair type, length goals, and the look you're after—so the stylist can give you an honest timeline.
