Keep reading to learn everything you need to know about hair extensions before booking your appointment!

What are the different types of hair extensions available?

Your stylist will help you determine the right type of hair extension based on your needs. The four most common types of hair extensions include:

• Clip-in: Easy to use and versatile, can be washed once every 10-15 wears.
• Tape-in: Create a cascading veil effect and are reusable generally up to 3 times. Perfect for those with normal-to-thick hair textures.
• Keratin Bonded: Flexible at the root, making it easy to style hair and wear in ponytails. Ideal for fine hair types.
• Halo: Single weft row is secured by a barely visible thread that lays on the head’s natural curve. Easy to style and low maintenance.

How do I book a hair extension appointment in NYC?

We recommend starting with an in-person or virtual extensions consultation. During the complimentary 15-minute consultation, a skilled Warren Tricomi stylist will work with you to find the perfect extensions to match your hair type, texture, and desired length. We’ll discuss your goals and desires, and provide recommendations based on these and other factors.

Following your consultation, you can schedule an extensions installation directly with the stylist or online.

How much do hair extensions cost?

Pricing will vary depending on the length and type of extensions. At the end of your complimentary consultation, the stylist will provide a quoted price based on what you discussed.

How long do hair extensions last?

This will depend on the type of extensions as well as how well they are maintained. Temporary extensions like clip-ins and halos may last up to a year with proper care and maintenance, while semi-permanent options like tape-in typically last between six to eight weeks.

If you have concerns about a specific style, talk to your stylist. They can provide guidance on how often you would need to come into the salon to get a particular type re-applied or adjusted.

Do I need to use special products to maintain my hair extensions?

To take care of your hair extensions, follow the same healthy hair guidance recommended for your natural hair. This includes:

• Brushing your extensions regularly with a soft bristle brush
• Washing your extensions carefully with a sulfate-free shampoo
• Avoiding hot styling tools like straighteners and curlers
• Protecting your extensions while sleeping by braiding your hair before bed
• Keeping your extensions dry and moisture-free
• Scheduling regular maintenance appointments

Depending on your specific needs, our salon may also recommend specialized products designed for hair extension maintenance, such as leave-in conditioners or oils. These products are designed to keep your locks soft, shiny, and tangle free.

What other salon services can I use with extensions?

Many of our clients find that booking a color service at the same time as an extension appointment is a great way to change up your look and make it easier to manage the new style.

We also recommend trying out our extensions blowout service! Using our classic brush blowout technique, our expert stylists will blow-dry your extensions and blend them seamlessly with your natural hair. Experience that ideal look of volume and style!
