HAIR EXTENSIONS

Shear Balance offers & is certified in

KTip, & Sew-in weft extensions

THE HAIR

At Shear Balance the extension hair I use is 100% human hair. The hair is made up of high quality cuticle in tact  remy hair, meaning the strands are all laying the same way. This is a key factor in having hair that remains shiny and smooth, and prevents unnecessary tangling. Every set of extension hair will last between 6-9 months or 3 applications for wefts, Ktips are a 1 time use extension lasting 4-6 months with zero maintenance between install and removal. To ensure this duration the extensions must be cared for properly by following the care guide listed below.  

​

The Cost

The cost of the hair itself varies by individual depending on the desired outcome length, density, and color. A consultation will give you an accurate price quote. The cost of the hair is used as a down payment & is needed in order for me to place the order for your hair.​

The Maintenance 

Wefts: Every 8-10 weeks after install you will need to come in for maintenance. This appointment involves removal, shampoo, condition, blow dry, install, & style. Hair extensions will add time to your regular hair routine. They do require a bit more time for washing, drying, & styling as well as a little extra care. Ktips will need to be removed 4-6 months after install, from there we would be able to install a new set . 

The Care

You want to treat your extensions just as you would your normal hair with just a few extra steps. 

​​

  • Brush regularly, always morning & night, before & after washing, before & after putting your hair up.

  • Use professional products from the salon. 

  • Avoid spray sunscreens- even if not sprayed directly on your hair the mist WILL get on the hair and alter the color - especially for lighter hair extensions. save brands include Bare Republic & Sun Bum

  • Use a leave in conditioner & heat protectant

  • Heat style 350 degrees max

  • Avoid high ponies, stick to low ponies, braids, or low buns

  • Dry shampoo is a great option to avoid washing  often

  • Blow dry roots of the hair after washing

  • Use detangler after washing & brush from the bottom up avoid rough brushing to prevent slipping & damage

  • Highly recommend coating the hair in conditioner & braiding before swimming in salt water or chlorine

  • Silk pillowcases are great for not only the extensions but your natural hair as well
