There are many different types of Hair Extensions out there these days. They have been around for years, however in the past 10 years the market has increased dramatically. Here at Stylist1 Hair Salon we offer the following in the Extension services….
1. I-tip which is used with an individual strand of hair. Which is also called the bead method. It is easily reusable.
2. U-tip which is adhered to the hair with an individual strand. Which is also called the fusion method, Cold Fusion, or Hot Fusion.
The cold fusion method is used with no heat and is used with a tool that releases ultra sound to apply the bond to the hair.
The hot fusion method is used with a heat tool to bond to the hair.
3. Skin weft which is a flat panel method that can be cut and customized to the client's hair that is applied with an adhesive tape and is easily reusable. Clients often like this because of the base appearing more like the human scalp. It is also sometimes called the flat method.
4. PU flat panel method which is precut and applied to the client's hair with adhesive tape. This is also easily reusable. This is also sometimes called the flat method.
5. Sew In methold. Which are wefts of hair customized to each client's head. There is a flat long braid made across the client’s head, and the hair is then sewn to the braid. This is sometimes referred to as weave in extensions.
6. Bead in weft method. This method is an individual bead holding the customized wefts to the client’s hair.
7. Synthetic method. This is where we braid or bead synthetic hair individually into a strand of the client’s hair. This method provides double the volume as the human hair strands. Excellent in Humid Clients such as Florida!!!
8. Synthetic bead method. This is where we apply double stranded synthetic hair into an individual bead. This method also provides double the volume.
9. Clip on Hair Extensions. Which is custom fitted to the client’s head or just sold out of the box.
