This is the "Ferrari" of all hair extension systems!

We do not claim to offer the lowest prices for hair extensions.  There are many companies and qualities of hair out there, so we have done extensive research to be certain of what we offer.  This is a luxury service and we offer the highest quality hair attached in the safest application techniques available.  Ours is GUARANTEED! YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR!   It's like trying to choose between a Ferrari and a Ford - they both provide transportation from point "A" to point "B", but you can clearly understand the difference in quality and performance.  Keep in mind that we make available other types of extensions, but the quality doesn't compare if you expect to wear extensions continually and you want them undetectable.

Our Micro-loc Hair Extension System is for you if:

  • You have tried other hair extensions - you will immediately experience the superior difference in the quality of the hair and the way they lay flat against your head.

  • You are serious about "cosmetic surgery for your hair" and are tired of thin limp hair, or hair that refuses to grow as long as you wish.

  • You want to add highlights to chemically straightened or permed hair.

  • You want nothing but the best available product on the market worn by celebrities world wide

Our Micro-loc Hair Extension System is NOT for you if:

  • You relax your hair (Maintenance becomes a big issue)

  • You want temporary hair extensions for a wedding, etc. (We can help with that)

  • You have thinning hair on top of your head

Why Hair Extensions?

  • Add length - Transform short hair into long.  Make long hair even longer. Shoulder length - - down to your thighs, or anywhere in between!

  • Add fullness - Dramatically add fullness do thin, fine, limp hair and turn up the "WOW" factor!

  • Add color without chemicals - Striking or subtle highlights or lowlights.  The choice is yours. And all without harmful chemicals.

  • Add body - Instantly boost body and bounce.  Dramatically enhance fine, limp, flyaway hair.

  • Add some "edge" - Vibrant colors. Wild looks.  Or easily-removable temporary weekend styles.

How does it work?

We use extension systems which start with the highest quality 100% Full Cuticle European "Remy" human hair, matching the texture you require.  Unlike other methods, the process uses no chemicals or glue and is completely safe and painless do apply.  Our Certified Hair Extension Experts use a patent pending application.  For the micro-locs application, tiny copper micro-tubes are color matched to your hair and the individual hair strands are inserted and "crimped" to complete the bond.  The individual extension strands are expertly chosen to enhance your color and texture and create a totally believable match.

 

How are the extensions applied?

 hair extensions   Small sections of your hair are drawn through the micro-loc or shrink link and placed at the root area.

hair extensions    The extension strand is then inserted in the micro-loc or shrink link.

hair extensions     A special tool is used to gently close the micro-loc, securing the hair extension to your own hair

hair extensions     Your hair is safely "cocooned" inside the extension.  Your hair stays in perfect condition and continues to grow as normal. So, when it comes to take them out, your own hair will be in just as good a condition as the day we put them in.

 

What makes the hair used for these extensions special?

The hair used comes from Europe, Russia, Spain, and Italy: all areas where people have red meat protein-rich diets which creates ultra-healthy hair.  The cuticle remains in-tact and all hairs have the cuticle running in the same direction.  This is premium hair that can be re-used, saving you money.  This is the hair of your dreams!

 

What types of hair are available for extensions?

Here are the types of hair typically used for hair extensions:

  • Human Hair: This is a very broad generalization; by law, only 10% of the hair listed as "human hair" has to indeed be human in order to state it is human hair.  The remaining hair may be synthetic or from animals.

  • Processed Chinese hair: Lower Quality, Lowest Price.  The hair is processed, meaning the cuticle is always removed, so the hair looses much of its health.  This hair is put in an acid bath, dissolving the cuticle.  Then, a synthetic coating is applied to smooth the hair, which will only last a few shampoos, so it is best for temporary extensions.

  • European Hair: Higher Quality, Medium Price, (although this particular name does not mean you always get the best of European Hair, the quality varies widely).

  • European 100% Cuticle Hair: Much Higher Quality than just European (and the quality is easy to determine). meaning the cuticle is left on.

  • Remi hair: all cuticle is going in the same direction

  • Russian Hair: Currently the best and most expensive hair in the world is from Russia.  This is the most desired hair for Caucasian hair extension applications.

We use beautiful, premier quality 100% Full Cuticle Russian or Italian "Remy" human hair for the Micro-loc Hair Extension System.  Other types of extensions are available.

 

Will it damage my natural hair?

There is no tension, stretching, chemicals or high heat used on the application or take down process meaning your hair is left undamaged and healthy.  Our utmost concern is to protect your hair from any damage so that you can improve your look with confidence.  In some cases clients experience hair growth and fortification because the extensions force them to stop over-processing.  It is your responsibility to maintain your extensions as we teach you and to be faithful with regular maintenance appointments in order to maintain the integrity of your own hair and the extensions.  It's kind of like the saying" Guns don't kill people ...", but in the case of hair extensions it's "The Micro-loc Hair Extension System doesn't cause damage; pulling, tugging and waiting too long for maintenance causes damage!".

 

Can you see them?

The extension are always applied behind the hair line and away from the natural partings.  The patented micro-locs are color matched to your hair color and the shrink links are either clear, brown, or black so they blend naturally with your hair and are virtually undetectable.  You can safely wear your hair in a ponytail without the extensions being detected!  Your hair will move and swing naturally, since it is matched to your own hair texture.

 

How long does the hair last?

If the hair is maintained well, it should last you for nine months to a year, or more.  If you decide to change looks you can also store the hair for re-use later.  Regular maintenance is required as your own hair grows (anywhere from every 8 - 12 weeks).  The Micro-loc Hair Extension System is also the only system that enables you to re-use the hair through maintenance applications, extending the life of your investment.

 

Are they comfortable?

As long as they are applied by a Certified Hair Extension Expert, there is no discomfort.  The feeling most people report is similar to having a tiny bobby pin in your hair.  The process is very gentle.  Extensions can take a little while to get used to, and may cause some slight discomfort while sleeping at first.  However, after a few days, when your hair loosens up a bit, you probably won't even notice them.

 

Can I brush and care for my hair like normal?

We recommend brushing often, specifically at the scalp area, to prevent naturally shedding hair from tangling.  And thanks to these new application methods, you can swim, exercise, color, perm, and style your hair the way you normally do.  You can even use your favorite hot tools like flat irons and hot curlers.  During your appointment you will receive exact care instructions.

 

Will I be able to wear my hair in an up-style or ponytail?

We apply the extensions with that in mind, so you can wear your hair in multiple up-styles.

 

Will the hair match my color and texture?

Absolutely.  We take pride in matching your color, curl, and texture perfectly, even if you have gray hair or want to add highlights.  Custom blending is our specialty since we are the areas premier hair color salon, incorporating any subtle shifts in tone that your existing hair may have!  We recommend a minimum of three colors to achieve a beautiful, natural look.

 

How much length can I add to my hair with extensions?

You can custom order hair as long as you want.  The standard length is from twelve to twenty-four inches.

 

Can extensions be used if my hair is thinning on top?

We have various solutions for clients who have thinning hair on top.  For extremely thin, or for hair loss, we offer “integration”, which involves using a specialized hairpiece with your natural hair woven into it which provides a basis for the extensions and the necessary top layer to hide the micro-locs.  No one will ever detect thinning hair!

 

Why do I need a consultation?

Each application is entirely custom - down to the hair color, texture and length desired.  Since custom extension can range between $500 for some highlights or a little added volume to $5000 for a full head application of hair you can sit on (depending on length and density), our consultation was created to explain the options available for different budgets.  We will provide you with all the information you need to make an informative decision about what will work best for your hair needs and explain all options available. 

 

How long does it take?

The application time is determined by the number of strands used.  A full-head application usually takes from 4 - 5 hours, including photos and the blending cut.

 

What is the price for hair extensions?

Our specialty is the micro-loc system, which is the "Ferrari" of hair extensions.  We do not attempt to offer you the best price, only the best hair and attachment system available anywhere!  When planning on your budget for hair extensions, remember:

  1. If you currently highlight your hair, you will only need a partial touch-up from now on, saving $$$.

  2. Your own hair will be well-maintained and will not need frequent haircuts, again saving $$$.

  3. You can have fabulous color & highlights without damaging your own hair, allowing your hair to grow healthy!

  4. You can expect your extensions to cost from $900 - 3500, depending on the length and fullness desired.

We traveled to Beverly Hills to learn these systems, which is the secret of hundreds of celebrities, both men and women!  With the micro-loc and shrink link systems, you will be getting the highest quality 100% cuticle Remy hair available.  We also offer several forms of less-expensive, temporary applications for special events, such as weddings, which will last anywhere from one day to 2 months, depending on the application.  Since we guarantee your satisfaction, bring us your budget and we will find the perfect solution for you!

 

What is the cost of maintenance?

Because the extensions and are reusable, maintenance costs only a fraction of the initial cost and is priced hourly.  We take care in completely removing and re-attaching the extensions and gently combing naturally shed hair during maintenance, rather then simply sliding the bond up to the scalp and re-attaching to the same hair.  Expect your maintenance appointments to take nearly as long as the original installation. This is performed every 8 - 12 weeks, depending on your hair type.

 

I WANT THESE EXTENSIONS!  Now what?

Call to speak to a Certified Hair Extension Expert and to schedule your consultation appointment.  Your initial phone interview will be used to determine if this is right for you.  Remember, this is premier, custom ordered hair that takes a few days to customize just for you. It cannot be over-night delivery.  Color, texture, thickness, and length will be established, as well as your expectations.  The detailed personal consultation takes approximately 1 hour and the non-refundable fee of $100 is applied to the service, once complete.  A 50% non-refundable deposit will be required to order your custom extensions.
