EXTENSIONS 101: WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW BEFORE YOU BOOK

Pro Tip: Quality matters. Never compromise on the method or the hair.

Thinking about getting hair extensions? You’re not alone. Whether you want mermaid-length locks, added volume, or a bold pop of color without the long-term commitment, extensions are an amazing way to transform your look in just one appointment. But before you book, there are a few important things to know—because not all extensions are created equal.

At Salon 37, our certified stylists specialize in helping clients achieve natural, beautiful results with professional-grade extensions customized to their hair type and goals.


Why Extensions?

Hair extensions aren’t just for celebrities. They’re perfect for:

  • Adding length to short or medium hair
  • Boosting volume for thinning or fine hair
  • Trying out highlights or fashion colors without bleaching your natural strands
  • Creating a fuller bridal or special event style

The best part? They’re customizable. You can go subtle or dramatic, long-term or temporary, depending on your needs.


Types of Extensions We Offer

At Salon 37, we offer a variety of extension types to fit every lifestyle and hair type. Here’s a quick breakdown:

Tape-In Extensions

These are thin, flat wefts that are taped close to the root. They’re lightweight, blend beautifully, and are great for fine or thin hair. Application is quick—usually under an hour—and they can last 6–8 weeks with proper care.

Hand-Tied Wefts

Perfect for medium to thick hair, hand-tied wefts are sewn into a row of beads across the scalp. They give ultra-natural fullness and movement with minimal tension on the scalp. Plus, they’re reusable and low-maintenance once installed.

Keratin Bond (Fusion) Extensions

These involve individual strands fused to your natural hair using keratin protein. They’re nearly invisible and move freely like your real hair. Great for those who want long-lasting, seamless results.

Clip-In Extensions

Perfect for a one-night glam or weekend event. Clip-ins are easy to install and remove, with no long-term commitment. They’re also great if you’re just trying out the look of longer or thicker hair.


What to Expect Before & After Installation

Extensions are an investment, so preparation and maintenance matter:

Before:

  • Book a consultation so we can match your color and texture.
  • We’ll recommend the best method for your hair type and lifestyle.
  • Expect to discuss your daily routine so we can guide you on care.

After:

  • You’ll need to use sulfate-free, extension-safe products.
  • Gently brush with a loop brush to avoid snagging the bonds.
  • Avoid applying conditioner directly to the roots.
  • Plan on maintenance appointments every 6–8 weeks to move up or reapply your extensions.

Remember: Extensions are real hair and require real care. But with the right maintenance, they’ll stay gorgeous, shiny, and strong for weeks to months.
