Frequently Asked Questions

Get answers to common questions about Extension Install.

Extension longevity depends on type and care; most installs require maintenance every six to eight weeks. With proper care and professional touch-ups, bonded methods can last several months while tape-ins may need earlier repositioning.

When applied and maintained by trained stylists, extensions won’t harm healthy hair. Proper installation techniques, regular maintenance, and following aftercare guidelines minimize stress and reduce breakage risk. We evaluate hair health first and recommend the best method to protect your strands.

Appointment time varies by method and volume chosen—expect one and a half to four hours. Tape-ins and quicker methods are faster; hand-tied or individual bonds take longer for precise, customized placement.

Yes—aftercare varies by method. Most stylists recommend waiting forty-eight hours before washing tape-in adhesion, while bonded methods may allow immediate gentle styling. Your stylist will give specific wash and heat guidelines to protect bonds and prolong wear.

Pricing depends on chosen extension type, amount of hair, and installation technique. We offer consultations to assess needs and provide a tailored quote. Contact BossLady Hair Studio for a complimentary consult and accurate pricing breakdown.

Most salon-quality products work fine, but avoid heavy oils or sulfates that weaken bonds or cause slippage. Use recommended sulfate-free shampoos, lightweight conditioners, and heat protectant sprays. We’ll provide a personalized product list to maintain extensions and natural hair health.
