How to Choose an Extension Specialist
Ask about the extension method—tape-in, sew-in, clip-in, and fusion all have different timelines and maintenance routines. Bring reference photos of the length and volume you want. A good specialist will talk about what your hair can handle and how often you'll need touch-ups.
Check reviews and photos from past clients. If a salon shows their work on Instagram, you can see their technique and style range in action.

What to Expect at Your Appointment
Extensions take time—most appointments run 2 to 4 hours depending on the method and volume you're adding. Wear something comfortable and bring your phone or a book. Ask your specialist about the aftercare routine for your specific method, and confirm when you'll need to come back for a touch-up.
