Still can’t find what you’re looking for? Contact us anytime, we’re here to help.
Are hair extensions for everyone?
Hair extensions are best applied to clean, healthy hair. To ensure a secure attachment and optimal results, your natural hair should be at least 5 inches long. We’ll assess your hair’s suitability during your complimentary consultation appointment.
Will hair extensions damage my hair?
Hair extensions won’t damage your hair when they’re applied and maintained correctly by a licensed, qualified professional. At Lake Norman Hair Loss Solutions, we prioritize the health of your natural hair. That’s why we only use extension methods that are gentle and safe. Our Great Lengths and Hairdreams keratin-based attachments are excellent examples of professional-grade products that, when applied properly, will not adversely affect your hair.
How long will my hair extensions last?
Great Lengths and Hairdreams pre-bonded hair extensions can last three to five months when properly maintained. The CNC-XT system by CRLAB can last up to 12 months when properly maintained.
How much do hair extensions cost?
Hair extension costs vary because each guest’s needs are unique. Factors like your existing hair, desired length, and even head size all impact the price. The extension method you choose, whether you’re adding volume or length, and any custom color requests also contribute to the final cost. Your Lake Norman Hair Extension specialist will go over the different prices according to your needs.
Why are human hair extensions the best?
Human hair extensions offer the most natural look and feel, blending seamlessly with your own hair. This also means you can style them with heated tools and even have them professionally colored or permed for a truly customized look. They’re the better choice for everyday wear and various lifestyle activities.
How do I take care of my hair extensions?
After applying your hair extension application at our Lake Norman salon, your Lake Norman Hair Extension specialist will provide you with all the necessary instructions to get the most out of your new hair. For the best and longest-lasting results, always follow our specific hair extension tips for styling and maintenance.
Can I wear my hair up?
Yes, absolutely! Our hair extensions are applied so the hair falls naturally, keeping the bonds discreet and out of sight. You’ll be able to wear your hair up just like before.
Can I exercise and swim with my hair extensions?
Yes, you can swim with hair extensions. However, frequent swimming in saltwater or chlorinated pools can impact their lifespan. The same goes for excessive time in saunas and steam rooms, which may also reduce longevity. Always follow the specific care instructions provided by your Lake Norman Hair Extension specialist to ensure the best results and extend the life of your extensions.
How do I get started?
It all starts with a FREE, private consultation. We’ll assess your hair and scalp, talk through your lifestyle and goals, and recommend solutions that make sense for you. There’s no pressure, just education, support, and a plan if and when you’re ready.
