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.

Get a weave. A stylist does a weave by sewing extensions wefts onto tracks of cornrows. Sometimes, the extension weave is sewn to a net or beads. Though commonly done in ethnic salons, sew weaves can be done on a variety of hair textures. Salons offer both full-head and partial 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.

Extensions are a temporary styling solution and thus have to be eventually uninstalled. This may come as quickly as after a week or after several months. To minimize the risk of damage to the natural locks, have a hairdresser uninstall them. The price to uninstall extensions is generally much less than what is charged to have them put in.

The cost to get extensions done at a virginia beach hair salon varies largely based on the technique and the ability of the stylist. In many cases, the client is responsible for supplying the extensions. Call several salons in the city to request consultations before booking an appointment.
