Whether you want to add subtle fullness or achieve dramatic length, we’re here to help you find the perfect solution.
Types of Hair Extensions We Offer
Beaded Row Extensions
Our most popular extension method, beaded row extensions, uses high-quality hand-tied wefts to create a seamless, natural look. This semi-permanent method adds length, volume, and density while gentle on your natural hair.
- Best For: Clients looking for natural, long-term results with the flexibility to style their hair as usual.
- Installation Time: Appointments typically last between 2–6 hours, depending on the number of rows and any color touch-ups.
- Maintenance: Move-up appointments every 6–8 weeks.
Tape-In Extensions
Tape-in extensions are a semi-permanent extension option where wefts of hair are pre-taped and then applied to sections of your natural hair. At Ella Rose Hair Boutique, we currently offer tape-in extensions exclusively for pops of color rather than full-head applications. This method is perfect for adding creative color accents without bleaching or damaging your natural hair.
- Best For: Clients seeking subtle pops of color or highlights with minimal commitment.
- Installation Time: Tape-in color accents are quick to install, with appointments typically lasting 1–2 hours, depending on the number of extensions.
- Maintenance: These extensions require move-up appointments every 6–8 weeks to maintain their placement and keep your look polished.
Halo Hair Extensions Clip-In Extensions
Halo and clip-in extensions are the perfect choice for a low-maintenance option. These extensions are custom-colored and cut to blend effortlessly with your natural hair, giving you instant length and volume without commitment.
- Best For: Clients who want flexibility, minimal upkeep, or special occasion options.
All of our extensions are made from high-quality human hair.
They are matched or custom-colored and cut to blend perfectly with your natural hair, ensuring a flawless, polished result. Whether you’re looking for a temporary solution or a long-term transformation, we will customize your hair extension plan to offer a lightweight, flexible option that is perfect for achieving your hair goals.
What to Expect: Your Extension Appointment
Step 1: Consultation
Your extension journey begins with a personalized consultation.
During this time, we’ll:
- Assess your hair type, texture, and goals.
- Discuss the best extension method for your lifestyle.
- Provide a customized estimate based on the hair, rows, and time needed to achieve your desired look.
Step 2: Installation
On installation day, your stylist will expertly place your extensions for a seamless blend with your natural hair. We customize placement, density, and length to ensure flawless results.
- Time Commitment: Appointments typically last between 2–6 hours, depending on the methods used, the number of rows, and any color touch-ups.
Step 3: Maintenance
Regular maintenance is key to keeping your extensions looking their best. We recommend move-up appointments every 6–8 weeks to remove and reinstall your extensions.
- Why It Matters: This keeps your natural hair healthy and prevents tangling or matting as it grows.
Extension Care: How to Keep Your Hair Looking Flawless
Proper care is essential to maximize the longevity of your extensions and keep them looking beautiful:
- Brush Thoroughly: Always brush your extensions before showering to prevent tangles.
- Shampoo at Least Weekly: Wash gently between rows to remove product build-up. Use a sulfate-free shampoo, like Kevin Murphy Hydrate.Me Wash or Iles Formula Shampoo, and double or triple cleanse if needed.
- Condition Regularly: Moisturize with a high-quality conditioner and apply deep treatments like Kevin Murphy Restore or Iles Masque every few washes.
- Prevent Tangles: Be sure to comb the conditioner or masque through your hair from the ends up to the top of the extensions for even application and tangle prevention.
- Protect Your Investment: Use a leave-in conditioner and avoid excessive heat styling without a thermal protectant.
