Liked this post? Share with others!

Short answer: At your first extensions consultation Sarah looks at your hair’s density, texture, color and scalp, asks how you wear your hair, and recommends a method, amount and color match. You’ll leave knowing what the install involves, how often move-ups are, and how to care for them.

What happens

  1. Goals: length, volume or both; photos help.
  2. Your hair: density, texture, any thinning, past color and damage.
  3. Lifestyle: workouts, swimming, how you style day to day.
  4. Color match: extension shades and texture matched to yours.
  5. Plan: method, number of wefts, install date and move-up schedule.

Questions to ask

  • How many wefts do I need for my goal?
  • How often are move-ups?
  • Can I color my own hair with extensions in?
  • What products should I use?

How to prepare

  • Come with clean, dry hair styled as usual.
  • Bring inspiration photos.
  • If you plan to color, consider booking color before the install so extensions match.

Every hair type

Fine, thick, straight, wavy, curly and coily hair can all wear extensions. Sarah matches the texture and keeps weight right for your hair.

FAQs
