Hair extension atelier in Plano
Every set starts with a consultation, where we choose a method that suits your hair, and a color-match visit, so the hair blends at the roots and the ends.
Four methods
Each wears a little differently and is moved up on its own schedule. A move-up takes the extensions out and places them back close to your roots as your hair grows. We go through all four at your consultation.
| Method | At home | Moved up | Suits |
|---|---|---|---|
| Hand-tied | At homeBrush from the ends up and keep conditioner off the rows. Sleep in a loose braid. | Moved upEvery 6 to 8 weeks | SuitsFine or medium hair, and anyone who wants light rows that lie flat |
| Tape-in | At homeKeep oils and heavy conditioner away from the tape, and dry the roots fully. | Moved upEvery 5 to 7 weeks | SuitsA quick install for length and fullness through the sides and back |
| K-tip | At homeDetangle gently at each bond and keep heat tools away from them. | Moved upEvery 8 to 12 weeks | SuitsMedium to thick hair, placed one strand at a time |
| Beaded | At homeCheck the beads after each wash and brush gently around them. | Moved upEvery 6 to 10 weeks | SuitsClients who want to avoid heat and adhesive at the roots |
The plan
Four visits, in this order.
We look at your hair, talk through the length and fullness you want, and choose a method that suits it. Every extension service starts here.
Swatches held against your hair in daylight, at the roots and the ends. We write the match down before anything is ordered.
The method you chose, placed in sections, with a check-in as we go. The time depends on the method and the amount of hair.
As your hair grows, the extensions come out and go back close to your roots. The schedule depends on the method.
The color-match visit
A color match is its own visit, so the wefts and your hair can be compared at the window.
Wear your hair the way you usually do. We hold swatches against your roots, mid-lengths and ends, and note where highlights or a gloss change the tone. Then we order the wefts or have them toned to match, and book your install.

Yes. Extensions start with a consultation, whichever method you have in mind. We look at your hair, talk through what you want and choose a method that suits it. It takes 45 minutes, and nothing is ordered or installed until you have a plan.
We go through all four with your hair in front of us: how fine or dense it is, how you wear it and how often you want to come in. Most clients leave the consultation knowing which one they want.
It depends on the method and the amount of hair you are adding. Every service on the menu shows its time, from about two hours to five.
As your hair grows, the extensions sit further from your roots. A move-up takes them out and places them back close to the roots. Each method has its own usual schedule, from every five weeks to every twelve, and we set the date before you leave.
It depends on the method, the amount of hair and your stylist's level. You get a written quote at your consultation, and prices show when you book.
Brush gently from the ends up, wash on a schedule we'll go over, dry the roots fully and sleep in a loose braid. Your stylist adjusts it for your method.
