Question 2

HOW DO I BOOK AN APPOINTMENT?

Accepted Answer

For extensions:

Submit a booking request.
With the information provided I will help you determine which method is best for your desired result. I will then be able to give you a quote for the total cost of the hair extensions and installation.

Timeframe. 
I do not usually keep hair extensions in stock, I custom order the extensions for my clients. This is to ensure a seamless match, especially when it comes to the texture of the hair. Normally, GOOD curly hair extensions are harder to get, so make sure you inquire about 3 weeks ahead of your desired appointment.

3.   Pay the non-refundable deposit to proceed with your appointment. 
Once the deposit is paid and  I have an ETA for your hair extensions, you can go ahead and schedule an appointment with me via email, text, or Instagram  DM. I  do not offer online booking because I have to ensure that I have enough time for your appointment based on our consultation.

Available days to book:
Monday, Thursday, and Sunday 
9.00am - 7.00pm

Question 3

HOW DO I KNOW WHAT METHOD IS BEST FOR ME?

Accepted Answer

Clients often ask what method is the least damaging for their hair?
The truth is… It comes down to the user!

My favorite method is the invisible beads for anyone who wants to add a lot of hair. Tape and individuals are great for extremely thin hair, details, and small areas to fill. The best thing is that these methods can be combined for best possible result!

Before you decide what method to get, you should consider these things:

Your desired result 
Your hair length, and density 
Your lifestyle 
What do you need your hair to do for you? (Are you going to wear it down? To be able to put it in a high ponytail? To fill out a certain area?)
How often will you be able to go to a maintenance appointment? 
Do you work out a lot? If yes, what kind of workout do you do?

Tape-in
- Great for fine to medium hair, to add some color effects, or to fill out certain areas.
- Move-ups should be done every 4-6 weeks. 
- I do not recommend tape-ins for people that are in contact with water a lot, gets sweaty easily, wants a lot of hair, use a lot of hot tools, put your hair up a lot, hair that easily gets tangled, or cannot commit to frequent maintenance appointments.

Individuals
- Great for fine to medium hair, to add some color effects, add hair to certain areas,  if you want to put your hair up, if you work out a lot, often are in contact with water, or if you don't want to come in for frequent maintenance appointments.  
- Lasts for 12 - 16 weeks (or longer) depending on how well you take care of your extensions.
- Not recommended for someone with thick and coarse hair that wants a LOT of hair, hair that easily gets tangled, or often use a lot of hot tools

Sew in weft (invisible beads) 
- Great for medium to thick hair, to add a lot of volume, want a LOT longer/thicker hair,  color effects, if you like to put your hair in a high ponytail, if you work out a lot, and if you like to use hot tools. 
- Move-up appointments are recommended every 5-7 weeks to maintain a healthy scalp.
- Depending on how well you take care of your extensions and how often you come in for your move-ups, this method may last up to 6 months without having to remove the extensions. If you do not come in for your move-up appointments, the hair should be removed after no more than 12 weeks.
- This method is not recommended for anyone with fine or fragile hair, likes to swim often, or likes to have a medium height ponytail.

If you don’t consider these things before getting extensions, you may end up getting the wrong method for your needs and damage your own hair.

The sew in (invisible bead method) can be done with 3 different types of hair wefts; 
machine weft, hand-tied weft, or genius weft.

Machine wefts are great for someone with medium to thick hair that wants to add a lot of hair. Hand-tied wefts and genius wefts are great for someone with fine hair, or wants to add a little bit of volume or thickness.

The biggest difference with hand-tied and genius wefts is that genius wefts don't have a mustache (return hair) at the top of the track. A "mustache" can cause some itchiness, tangles, and irritation if you have a sensitive scalp. On the other hand, the genius weft track is sealed with a type of silicone that can get damaged if you use a lot of hot tools close to the bond, which can lead to some hair extension shedding.

As you can see - there is not a one fit for all when it comes to hair extensions! It is important to consider all of these aspects before choosing the right method for yourself. This is why I ask everyone to fill out a form when requesting an appointment.

My goal is to ensure that all my clients are confident and comfortable with their extensions while causing minimal damage to their natural hair.

Question 7

WHAT IS YOUR BOOKING POLICY?

Accepted Answer

I require a non-refundable deposit to book an appointment.

Taking a deposit and making it non-refundable is the only means I have of assuring myself some protection against a client changing their mind and me being left with the losses. This is necessary because I will immediately be clearing my calendar for a considerable period of time in order to help you.
 
Time is money in this industry.
If you decide to not show up for your appointment, the time will be lost and unable to retrieve, and my income as well.
​
You can change the date for the appointment at no extra charge 
(no less than 48hr in advance)

For appointments canceled or rescheduled within 48 hours of the appointment time, will be charged 50% of the service total.

“No-shows” and appointments cancelled less than 4hr before your appointment will be charged 100%.
​
I recognize that emergencies and events beyond your control may occasionally occur that makes it impossible or impractical to keep the appointment. If it does turn out that an emergency or such an event does happen, I will work with you reasonably to reschedule your appointment to the earliest date thereafter that will work for both of us.
It will be in my discretion to decide if the reason you provide makes me keeping the appointment impractical, or impossible. Any further appointments will be governed by this same provision for rescheduling.
​
In no event will the deposit be refundable.
​
Thank you for your understanding and consideration. 
I can't wait to help you achieve your hair goals!my availability is very limited and I require a non refundable deposit for the cost of the hair extensions to move forward with booking an appointment.
