Is a consultation necessary?
The consultation is absolutely necessary!! It is the first step to the extension process. The stylist must make sure that extensions are right for you, will look natural, and will fit into your lifestyle and budget. The stylist must also know what materials are needed and how much time to allot for each service.
YOU CANNOT BOOK AN INSTALLATION APPOINTMENT WITHOUT FIRST COMING IN FOR A CONSULTATION, EVEN IF YOU ARE CURRENTLY WEARING EXTENSIONS.
DO EXTENSIONS LOOK NATURAL?
Yes, at Luxie we make sure that we take the time to ensure natural-looking extensions. This starts with determining ALL of the colors that are present in your hair, selecting the right texture, the right wave pattern during a free consultation, and finishing with the perfect amount of extensions and completing the service with a blended haircut. We also place close attention to how your hair grows and parts to determine placement so that you don't have any extensions showing or peeping through.
What is the best extension method?
There is no blanket response to this question. The "best method" would be one that suits your hair type as well as your lifestyle. One method may be good for one client but unsuitable for another. We would determine the "best" method at your free consultation.
Why do you require a deposit?
Extensions are a lengthy process that require the stylist set aside a large amount of time. As all visits are scheduled by appointment only (no walk-ins accepted), the stylist cannot recoup lost income in the event of a no show. To prevent no calls/no shows, the stylist requires a 50% non-refundable deposit to guarantee compensation if a client cannot make the appointment. If the client is able to cancel or reschedule 24 hours before scheduled appointment, the deposit is held for 365 days and used toward the client's next scheduled visit.
How much do extensions cost?
Installation fees are listed under the services section and are all flat rate. Hair costs vary from person to person so cannot be listed. In general, hair costs about $250 for C and B grade hair. Higher quality costs more and the price can go up or down depending on the grade and availability. All clients are free to provide their own hair. For an exact quote, please book a free consultation.
DO EXTENSIONS DAMAGE THE HAIR?
The honest answer to this questions is that ALL extensions put stress on the hair which can result in damage. It is your sole responsibility to properly care for and maintain your extensions so you may eliminate or reduce the risk of damage.
How long does my hair have to be?
It is best to have at least 4in on the crown to have natural-flowing extensions. Hair under the 4in crown needs to be at least 2in.
