Clip-in Hair Extensions

Imagine having the power to rock longer, fuller hair in minutes. Say hello to clip-in extensions, the ultimate hair accessory for those who like to switch up their style on the fly. These babies come with a row of clips attached to wefts of hair, making them super easy to snap into your hair. They’re versatile, low-maintenance, and perfect for adding volume, length, or pops of color for special occasions or everyday sassiness. These extensions would be perfect for someone looking to dip their toe into the pool of hair extensions to see if they are an everyday must-have! Clip, snap, and slay, honey!

Tape-in Hair Extensions

Looking for a more permanent hair upgrade that seamlessly blends into your natural locks? Enter tape-in extensions, the magic tape that keeps your hair dreams alive. These extensions are applied by sandwiching a section of your own hair between two wefts with adhesive tape. The result? Instantly longer, fuller hair that looks incredibly natural. You can style, curl, and flip your locks confidently, knowing that your secret tape-in weapon holds everything in place. These Tape-In extensions are great if you have fine hair & are looking to give it some much-needed volume! If you have thicker or textured hair, we’d recommend skipping the tapes.

Sew-in Hair Extensions

Stitch your way to hair heaven, ready to go all out with a bombshell mane that won’t budge? Sew-in extensions are here to make it happen! This method involves braiding your natural hair into cornrows and sewing the extensions onto the braids. Another technique uses beads to create rows where the weft is sewn into the row. The result is a fabulous and secure hairstyle that can last for weeks. Sew-in extensions are perfect for those who want maximum length, volume, and versatility without worrying about daily maintenance. Perfect for our thick and curly girls. Channel your inner diva and slay sew-in style!

Micro-Link or Beaded Hair Extensions

Beaded bliss for those seeking a method that’s gentle on the hair while delivering stunning results, micro-link extensions are the way to go. Also known as micro-bead or nano-ring extensions involves attaching tiny, discreet beads or rings to your natural hair and threading the extensions through the rings. Micro-links’ beauty is that they allow for natural movement and easy styling while providing a secure hold. We currently do not offer this type of extension at Poza Salon, but who is to say we won’t in the future?

Fusion or Keratin Hair Extensions

The Heat is On Ready to turn up the heat on your hair game? Fusion extensions bring the sizzle with a hot bonding technique. With this method, small sections of extensions are fused to your natural hair using a heat tool. The result is a seamless blend that withstands washing, swimming, and styling adventures. Fusion extensions are ideal for those looking for a longer-lasting solution, but they cost the most starting at around $1800+. We currently do not offer keratin fusion extensions but can guide you to a recommended professional.

And there you have it…Congratulations on becoming a hair extension aficionado!

Q&A on Hair Extensions

We know you’ve got some burning questions swirling in your fabulous head. How on earth do you take care of these marvelous extensions? Can you rock them again and again? And, oh, the big one—will they wreak havoc on your luscious locks? Take a deep breath, my friend, because we’re about to dive right into the answers and ease your beautiful mind. Prepare for a mind-blowing journey into hair extension care and discover the secrets to rocking them like a pro! So buckle up, gorgeous, and let’s embark on this hair-raising adventure together!

Are Hair Extensions Difficult to Care For?

Hair extensions, the secret to luscious locks, often raise questions about their maintenance. Rest assured, caring for hair extensions need not be a daunting task. We will debunk myths and equip you with the necessary knowledge to keep your extensions looking flawless.

Let’s begin with detangling—the key to preserving the longevity of your extensions. A wide-tooth comb and a gentle touch are your allies in ensuring tangle-free hair. Styling extensions can be an exhilarating experience. From sleek and straight to voluminous curls, our team at Poza Salon can share professional tips on heat protection and gentle styling techniques.

Nighttime care is crucial in preserving the beauty of your extensions. Once your extensions are beautifully detangled, it’s time to create a hairstyle that promotes a peaceful night’s sleep. Gather your hair into a loose braid or a soft bun to minimize friction and prevent tangling while you toss and turn. A silk or satin hair tie can be your trusty companion, as it reduces friction and helps maintain the integrity of your extensions. A silky-smooth pillowcase and a gentle bedtime routine will become your allies in waking up to flawless hair.

Are Hair Extensions Reusable?

So, here’s the deal: many hair extensions are reusable, and that’s fantastic news for all the fabulous fashionistas! Imagine the freedom of reinventing your look, transforming your tresses from short to long, or adding breathtaking volume whenever the mood strikes. With reusable hair extensions, the possibilities are as infinite as the stars in the sky!

But hold on, my eager learners, for there are a few essential factors to consider regarding the reusability of extensions. First and foremost, the hair’s quality and the application method play a vital role. High-quality hair extensions, carefully crafted with premium materials, tend to withstand multiple uses with grace and charm. Brands like Glam Seamless and Donna Bella are considered the best on the market today.

Are Hair Extensions Bad for Your Hair?

The notion that hair extensions are universally harmful is not entirely accurate. When installed *correctly* and cared for *correctly*, hair extensions can coexist harmoniously with your natural hair, adding glamour and versatility without wreaking havoc on your precious strands. Putting too much weight on your natural hair can cause your natural to be removed from the root resulting in what appears to be a waxed scalp, can happen. We highly recommend allowing a seasoned pro to install your extensions. Last week we removed a sew-in for a client whose hair was ripped violently from the root due to incompetence. Don’t let this happen to you!

The key to maintaining the health of your hair lies in two crucial factors: proper installation and diligent maintenance. Choosing a skilled and experienced stylist, like our team at Poza Salon, who understands the intricacies of extensions, is paramount. They will ensure the extensions are applied correctly, with minimal tension and damage to your natural hair. Avoid excessive heat styling, be mindful during brushing and detangling, and follow a consistent care routine for your natural hair and extensions.

In a world of hair possibilities, we’ve uncovered a treasure trove of hair extensions that cater to your unique style! Clip-ins, tape-ins, sew-ins, beads, or keratin—there’s a perfect match for every hair type. And guess what? The talented hairstylists at Poza Salon are the fairy godmothers of hair who will guide you on this magical journey! They’ve got the know-how to lead you toward hair perfection, so you can say goodbye to those burning questions that haunted your dreams. We’ve got you covered, darling! Now it’s time to seize the moment, book that consultation, and embark on a fantastic hair adventure. Get ready to unleash your inner hair diva and let the world witness your stunning transformation! It’s time to shine like the superstar you indeed are!
