Hair Extensions Cincinnati OH

During your consultation we will help you find the most gentle method of hair extensions for you that will NOT cause damage to your hair with proper installation and proper home care. In most cases, our guests are able to even grow their natural hair out while wearing extensions!

That being said, hair extensions that are done poorly or are the wrong method for your hair type WILL cause damage. If your stylist gathers too much or too little hair in a section, places it too close to the scalp or in areas that cannot support the weight of the extension, the natural hair will mostly be pulled out. In very rare cases, some women may have a weak follicular funnel that cannot support any hair weight or pressure, and this can be tested prior to the application of hair extensions. In the cases of the wrong hair type being chosen, a woman with not enough density of hair may be recommended a method such as a tape in, fusion, or weft-type extensions that will cause too much weight for their natural hair and cause it to fall out.

It’s very important to make sure your stylist is fully educated and competent in extensions, and at W Salon & Spa we pride ourselves on our hair our ability to provide high quality extensions- without the damage. All stylists that provide Hair Extensions are fully certified.

While pictures of celebrities caught by the paparazzi with their hair extensions showing may deter you from trying extensions, there are ways to hide and wear your extensions without fear of showing!

Your stylist will place your extensions far enough away from your hairline that you should be able to wear your hair up or down, almost any way you please, without fear of showing.

Your stylist will give you quick tips on how to style your hair as to avoid this problem, too! As your extensions grow out, it does become harder to hide, so make sure you are keeping up on your regularly scheduled hair extension maintenance and you will be fine!

We have a motto here at W Salon & Spa, “Take care of your extensions like your own hair, but better.” That being said, all you need to do to keep your extensions looking beautiful for as long as possible is to just have good hair habits!

You will want to avoid washing your new extensions or getting the wet for the first 48 hours. Other than that, everything else is common sense, and we would be happy to give you all the tips and tricks you need during your extension appointment.

Most women don’t even feel a difference after getting them done! Tape-in extensions are by far the most comfortable extensions available, even more comfortable than clip ins or temporary extensions. There are only two exceptions to this:

We find that the first couple of nights you sleep with your extensions take some getting used to because when you have your hair against a pillow you do tend to feel your extensions more. This shouldn’t cause any pain or lack of sleep, just a strange feeling that most women get used to after the second night.

About 1 in every 100 women have extremely sensitive scalps and will not be a good candidate for extensions. If you think you may be one of these women, try wearing a few bobby pins a quarter inch from your scalp all day. If you are overly irritated and experience pain, then extensions of any kind may not be right for you.
