Selecting the perfect hair extensions begins with a personalized consultation at my private salon suite. During this consultation, I will assess your hair type, texture, and color. We'll also discuss your style goals and preferences. Based on this information, I'll recommend the most suitable hair extension type, length, and color to achieve the look you desire. I'm here to guide you every step of the way.

Proper maintenance is key to ensuring the longevity and beauty of your hair extensions. Here are some essential tips:

Brush your extensions 2 to 3 times daily to prevent tangling.

Use sulfate-free, extension-friendly shampoos, conditioners, and leave-in conditioners.

Avoid excessive heat when styling, and use heat protectants. Avoid hot water when washing the hair to maintain its longevity and avoid dryness.

Sleep with your hair in a loose braid or ponytail to prevent tangling. Use silk scrunchies, not rubber ones.

Visit my suite for periodic maintenance appointments to ensure the extensions stay in optimal condition.

I'll provide you with detailed aftercare instructions during your appointment to help you maintain your extensions effectively.

Yes, you can maintain an active lifestyle with hair extensions. However, it's important to take precautions:

For swimming, wear a swim cap or braid your hair to minimize exposure to chlorinated or saltwater.

After swimming, rinse your hair thoroughly with clean water, then apply a leave-in conditioner to help prevent drying. You may also use a hair mask after each swim to keep your hair moisturized and healthy. Also, I recommend using a hair mask once a week.

When using sunscreen, I recommend SUN BUM mineral-based sunscreens with NO AVOBENZONE to keep blonde hair from turning orange or pink.

During intense workouts, tie your hair back to prevent tangling from sweat.

Properly caring for hair extensions is crucial to maintaining their appearance and longevity. Here are some essential products and tips to keep your extensions looking fabulous:

1. Sulfate-free shampoo and Conditioner

Why: Sulfates can strip natural oils and moisture, making extensions dry and prone to tangling.

2. Leave-In Conditioner

Why: Helps to detangle, protect, and keep extensions hydrated.

3. Heat Protectant Spray

Why: Protects extensions from heat damage caused by styling tools.

4. Extension Brush

Why: Minimizes pulling and breakage when detangling extensions.

5. Moisturizing Hair Oil or Serum

Why: It adds shine and reduces frizz without weighing down the extensions.

6. Dry Shampoo

Why: Keeps roots fresh without over-washing extensions.

7. Silk or Satin Pillowcase

Why: Reduces friction that can cause tangling and frizz while you sleep.

Additional Tips:

Avoid overwashing: To prevent your extensions from drying out, aim to wash them 2-3 times a week.

Be gentle: When washing and styling, handle your extensions carefully to avoid unnecessary stress and breakage.

Avoid alcohol-based products: These can dry out your extensions, making them more prone to damage.

Using these products and following these tips will help you maintain the beauty and longevity of your hair extensions. Enjoy your fabulous new look!

Hand-tied hair extensions are veils of hair tied to a string by a human instead of a machine. This prevents bulkiness at the scalp, ensuring your hair lies flat against your head with ultimate flexibility.

Keratin hair extensions are hair extensions attached to natural hair using a bonding agent containing keratin protein. Keratin is a natural protein found in human hair and nails. It is known for its strength and durability.

Attaching keratin hair extensions involves applying the keratin bond to the natural hair near the roots. The bond is then heated to a temperature that allows it to melt and bond with the natural hair. This creates a secure and long-lasting attachment.

Keratin hair extensions come in various lengths, colors, and textures, allowing you to achieve your desired look. They can be straight, wavy, or curly, and they blend well with natural hair when applied correctly. The extensions can be styled and treated much like natural hair.

It's important to note that the application and removal of keratin hair extensions should be performed by a professional stylist to ensure the process is done correctly and without damaging the natural hair.

Keratin extensions are a one-time use and then removed. You wear them for 3-4 months, depending on your hair's condition. Then they are removed, and you can decide to do another set, or if you have reached your hair goals.

Yes, we use 100% human Remy hair for all installations.

That will depend on the application method and your hair type, but here is a rough guideline below.

Beaded rows need to be maintained every 6-8 weeks, depending on your density and hair growth, to protect the integrity of your scalp. The more delicate your hair is, the closer to 6 weeks I would recommend.

Tape-ins are best for medium- to thick-haired clients and should be maintained every 6 to 8 weeks. After the initial application, we can only re-tape the extensions up to 3 times (if proper home care) for a 4-6 month lifespan of the hair.

Keratin, bonded, or fusion hair extensions are small, customized, strand-by-strand hair extensions that can be worn for 2-3 months; there is no maintenance required. We remove and install a new set every time. This is great for filling in haircuts and thin areas in someone's hair.

We want to see hair longer than your chin, for most guests, but it depends on your goals. We can only feasibly double what you have for believable results. Someone with hair 4 or 5 inches can build a long bob and reassess as the natural hair grows. With sew-in and beaded options, your shortest layer must be to your chin/collar bone so that your wefts don’t show.

At Hair Goddess Extensions by Shirin, we are committed to ensuring that you are a great candidate for our extension experience. Every guest's starting and ending points are different, and we design a custom quote tailored to your specific goals. The amount of hair needed depends on how close in length you are to your desired end result.  Please take a few minutes to complete our extension consultation form, and we'll be able to provide you with a customized quote. Maintenance for your bespoke service will also be assessed at your consultation.

Yes and no, let's be honest here. In most cases, you're likely to double or triple the amount of hair on your head. We can't deny that it would take longer to dry or style if you're new to extensions. But your extensions will hold your style FOR DAYS. Most of Shirin’s extension clients have reduced the number of times they wash and style their hair per week. Your morning routine will be a breeze when you only have to touch up a few hair pieces.

No! Shirin will create a seamless blend between your natural hair and the extension hair (that's why we require color at most visits). We've been trained to strategically conceal all beads and attachment areas so no one ever knows you are wearing extensions, even when it's pulled up!
