About Our Extensions
We offer our very own line of Luxury Micro weft extensions that are ethically sourced from one single donor.
Our hair has full cuticle intact, which keeps it healthy, shiny & smooth. This means our hair extensions blend seamlessly with your hair once installed, to create a fuller natural look and will last longer with proper care.
Why choose our hair?
Our wefts can be air dried, unlike other weft extension brands that require blow drying.
Our wefts are thinner and lay flatter to the head creating a seamless blend when worn. This also significantly reduces the potential for hair matting.
There is no mustache on our hair, which means your wefts will not itch when worn!

How To Care For Extensions:
How to Brush your extensions:
To prevent tangles in your hair extensions, it's recommended to brush them 2 times per day. Before you shower, gently detangle your hair with a brush. We suggest using the Wet Brush brand of brush for our extensions. While holding the track (the point where your extensions are sewn into your natural hair) firmly with one hand, brush from mid-shaft to ends with your Wet Brush in the other hand. It's important to be gentle during this process. If you have multiple rows of hair, don't forget to brush the natural hair between the rows, as it can easily become tangled. Keep brushing until your hair is completely free of tangles.
Wash with a Gentle Shampoo & Conditioner
When washing your extensions, it is important to use a high quality, gentle shampoo. We recommend Oribe Signature Shampoo & Conditioner which we carry in salon. This is gentle for every day use as well as moisturizing.
Start with cleansing your scalp and carefully wash around your extensions. Rinse and apply Signature Conditioner to the ends and follow that by rinsing thoroughly.
Use Heat Protectant
Using hot tools with extensions is a great way to blend and style your natural hair and extensions together. When using hot tools, it's important to use a heat protectant. We love Oribe Gold Lust Heat Protectant which can be used on dry hair before curling or flat ironing.
Oil your ends
Trimming the ends of your natural hair is crucial for maintaining healthy locks, but with extensions, those same ends have to last for months. To ensure their longevity, it's important to take extra care in keeping them strong and hydrated. Since extensions don't receive the natural oils from your pores, it's necessary to compensate with a light daily oil or serum. However, it's essential to avoid dark and heavy oils like Moroccan or argan oil, as they can stain and block moisture from entering the hair shaft, resulting in dryness. Heavy oils such as coconut and castor oil can cause buildup and should always be avoided. Instead, your stylist can recommend a silicone-free, light daily oil to keep your extensions shiny, soft, and healthy. Remember to apply the oil evenly from mid-shaft to ends, being careful to avoid the track
Sunscreen & Hair Extensions
Ensuring your hair extensions are not affected by sunscreen is crucial. It's essential to avoid any sunscreen containing Avobenzone (Butyl Methoxydibenzoylmethane) as this chemical can cause a chemical reaction with the dye in human hair extensions, resulting in peachy-orange discoloration that is almost impossible to fix. Zinc Oxide based sunscreens are a safer option, but make sure they don't have any other harmful ingredients mixed in. We recommend pulling your hair up and away from your skin when applying sunscreen and keeping it that way to avoid any contact.
Sleeping with Extensions 101
We recommend you braid your hair before you fall asleep. Securing your extensions in a braid helps to keep them nice and tidy while preventing them from getting pulled on or unknowingly rolled over while sleeping.
In addition to securing your extensions in a braid, we recommend sleeping on a silk pillowcase. This extends the life of extensions by protecting against friction that can lead to dryness, thinning hair and damaged bonds. This incredibly soft material is durable, breathable, and cool to the touch, helping to regulate your body temperature and keep you cool and comfortable.
Moisture!
Just like the natural hair on your head, your hair extensions need to be properly moisturized to keep them looking vibrant. Be sure to add leave-in water based conditioners to your routine, as oil based leave-in products cannot be absorbed by extension hair.
Proper Care
It is imperative that you are gentle with your extensions and care for them properly. Being rough, careless, throwing your hair up with extreme tension from certain styles can cause damage and stress on your hair. This can cause it to break. Taking the extra time daily to properly care for your hair will keep it healthy and strong.
