The Extension Tea
-
Your ideal extensions depend on your natural hair, the look you want, and your maintenance routine. During your complimentary consultation, we’ll help you choose your method, length, shade, and amount of hair.
-
Absolutely! Extensions can add volume, fill out your ends, or give you extra length. We’ll customize your install to suit your goals.
-
We colour-match your extensions and cut and blend them with your natural hair. Sometimes a combination of shades creates the most natural-looking result.
-
Our Beaded Sew-In Method uses a foundation of small beads with wefts sewn onto the row. It requires touch-ups every 4 weeks and a full removal and reinstall every 12–16 weeks.
Our Freya Hidden Bead Method conceals the beads between layers of wefts for a discreet finish. Rows are fully removed and reinstalled every 8–12 weeks, with no in-between touch-ups.
-
A touch-up is a 15 min month appt that moves your existing beaded sew-in rows back into position. A weft refresh is a 2+ hr appt that involves removing the rows and rebuilding the foundation. Your maintenance schedule may be adjusted based on your growth and how your natural hair is supporting the extensions.

Extensions aren’t risk-free. Appropriate placement and weight, gentle home care, and timely maintenance help reduce tension and breakage. If you experience pain, pulling, or irritation, please contact us so we can assess your rows.
