How to Choose an Extension Specialist in Newark

Start with the method. Ask yourself: fusion, clip-in, tape-in, or sew-in? Each has its learning curve, and not every salon handles every technique equally. Read the reviews to see if someone mentions the specific work you want—that's more useful than star counts. Check their Instagram if they have one; you'll see their actual work on real clients. Many Newark salons post fresh photos of their extension work, so you get a sense of their color matching, curl pattern handling, and overall finish. If you find someone whose work speaks to you, that's your baseline.

What You'll Find Here

Across Newark's seven extension salons, the average rating is 4.63 stars, and all of them have customer reviews online. About 71% of these salons take online bookings—useful if you prefer to lock in a time without calling. The salons here range from boutique specialists to full-service shops that handle extensions alongside cuts and color. Your next step: look at the list below, check their ratings and review volume (more reviews usually signal steadier traffic and repeat business), and reach out to confirm they offer the specific extension method you want.

Frequently asked questions

What's the difference between extension methods?
Fusion uses keratin bonds; tape-in uses double-sided tape and is removable; sew-in (also called braiding) involves braiding your natural hair then sewing wefts onto the braids; clip-in are the most temporary, good for testing the look. Each has different longevity (3-6 months for fusion, 6-8 weeks for tape, 6-12 weeks for clip) and maintenance needs. Ask your specialist which suits your lifestyle and hair type.
How often do I need maintenance?
Most extensions need a touch-up every 4-8 weeks, depending on method and how fast your hair grows. Tape-in typically needs the soonest maintenance; fusion can go longer. Your specialist will give you a realistic timeline when they do the install, and many Newark salons let you book your follow-up right after the first appointment.
Can I get extensions if I have curly or textured hair?
Yes, but it matters that your stylist knows textured hair well. Curly extensions won't match perfectly if your natural hair is straight, and vice versa. When you reach out, mention your hair texture. Reading reviews can help—clients often mention whether the salon matched curly or coily textures well.
