Things To Remember About Virginia Beach Hair Salon Extension Services

By Marjorie Vargas


With so many ways to apply hair extensions, it is understandable that an individual may be somewhat overwhelmed when making an installation choice. A woman should take into consideration factors such as her budget, time and lifestyle. An individual will be greatly aided by taking the time to learn about extension application methods prior to make a beauty appointment at a virginia beach hair salon.

Try a sew-in weave. A hairstylist does a weave by sewing extensions wefts onto tracks or cornrows. There are some hairstylists that prefer to sew the extensions to a net or to a beaded foundation. Although commonly offered at ethnic beauty shops, sew weaves are done on a variety of textures. Beauty shops offer both partial and full-head sew-weaves.

Have weft extensions glued in. Weft extensions are used for this technique. The stylist applies glue to the weft and then attaches the weft to the scalp or to the natural locks. A whole head of glued-in extensions takes less than an hour to complete. These extensions usually last one week, though in colder months they may be able to last two weeks.

Micro linking, also called micro beading and micro tubing, is done by attaching individual strands of extensions to very small sections of hair with small beads or tubes. Needle-nosed pliers tightly secure the tubes or beads to the natural locks. This hairstyle takes numerous hours to finish, but gives women more versatility than a sew weave or glued extensions provides.

Opt for a braided style. Braid extensions are a popular way to add length. Synthetic and human hair extensions are used to create a variety of styles. With synthetic extensions styles like box braids, pixies and French braids can be attained. Human hair extensions are needed for micro braids and lacing.

Consider some other extension options. Taped-in extensions are a quick extension installation method. Pre-taped extensions can be purchased at a beauty or from a beauty supply store. Although taped-in extensions can be installed at home, it is very advisable to let a hairstylist install them. Other extension installation options include clip-in extensions and bonding.

A major thing to keep in mind about extensions is that ultimately they have to be taken out. This could mean after a week or a few months. For best results and less damage, have a stylist remove them. The cost to do so should be substantially lower than what was charged to apply them.

The price for extension services at a good virginia beach hair salon depends on the installation method and the skill of the hairstylist. In most cases, the customer is responsible for furnishing the extensions. Call around to several beauty shops in the city to coordinate consultations prior to booking an appointment.
