Q&A With Extension Specialist Brooke Bauer | Hand Tied Hair Extensions

What are hand tied extensions? 
Hand-Tied Extensions are a form of extensions applied by creating a track of beads and string. We then apply multiple hair wefts onto your track and they are sewn on. We believe the are the most comfortable and seamless method currently available. 

What color do I choose?
Gone are the days of having to choose an extension color to match your hair or vice versa. We custom color your wefts to perfectly match your hair. No two heads of color are the same and your extensions will be completely unique to you. 

Will hair extensions damage my hair? 
The rumors are true, many extensions CAN damage your hair. The key is finding a certified professional who is experienced in the method they are offering. When applied correctly, the extensions do not damage your hair. We have guest after guests astonished by they’re natural hair actually becoming healthier from wearing the extensions. This is because a lot of the time they are using less heat on their natural hair.

Can I pull it off?
We believe people ask this question, because they feel extensions will be noticeable and look fake which is not the case. Once these extensions are applied, they become a part of you. If you have had long hair in the past or crave long or full hair, we say go for it. We believe almost everyone can benefit from fullness. 

Are extensions hard to take care of? 
If you are someone who takes care of their natural hair, no. You basically treat them the same. This means regular treatments, salon products, good washing, and wearing it in a braid or a bun before bed. The maintenance is very simple, but we are happy to guide you along the way. When you arrive for your first move up, your stylist will be happy to honestly tell you what you could be doing better at home to take care of your extensions. 

How did hair extensions change your life?
As a stylist, it was extra difficult to find out I had Alopecia. I had bald spots and severe thinning, and I felt like I couldn’t do anything with my hair. The extensions gave me the confidence I needed and I actually saw less thinning after wearing them. I see so many guests who struggle with thinning or post-partum hair loss and you never know how it feels until you’re experiencing it. For me, hair is everything. Hair extensions made it possible for me to wake up feeling excited to start my day. 

What are the benefits? 
Longer hair, fuller hair, pops of color, brightness, confidence…
The list goes on and on. The hair gods gave us extensions to make all hair goals achievable.
