How to Choose an Extension Specialist
Extensions require skill and the right match for your hair type. Start by looking at the salons' ratings and review counts—higher volume usually means more experience with different applications and hair textures. Reviews often mention specific strengths: ask in yours whether a stylist handles fine hair, textured hair, or color-treated hair. Many salons will do a consultation before committing to extensions, so don't hesitate to call or message if you want to discuss your hair type first. This one conversation can save you from a wrong method or a poor fit.
What to Expect
Most extension methods—whether tape-in, sew-in, clip-in, or fusion—last several weeks to a few months, depending on the method and your hair growth. Plan for maintenance appointments to keep them looking sharp. Upkeep usually involves special shampoos and conditioning, so ask your stylist about their recommendations. All the salons here are rated, so you're starting from a solid baseline of customer satisfaction.
