Microlink Hair Extensions
Small sections of your natural hair are pulled through a silicon-lined bead or lock and clamped with a special tool — no glue, no heat. It's the gentlest method we offer, which makes it a common first choice for clients with fine or fragile hair.
Full details on Microlinks →Tape-In Hair Extensions
Double-sided polyurethane tape sandwiches a thin section of your hair between two wefts — fast to apply and completely flat against the scalp. Ideal for fine hair, with mini tape and skin weft options in a full range of colors.
Full details on Tape-Ins →Fusion Keratin Extensions
Applied strand by strand and bonded with a heated keratin compound that mimics the protein naturally found in your hair. Wash and style it just like your own hair. Results last with proper care. (Not recommended for fine or over-processed hair.)
Full details on Fusion Keratin →Clip-In Hair Extensions
For events, weekends, or a no-commitment style change — snap in and out yourself, no salon visit required. Available in balayage, ombre, piano color, and natural roots, across straight, wavy, loose curl, and kinky curl textures.
Full details on Clip-Ins →Micro Weft Hair Extensions
Weft strips are secured with silicon-lined rings — no thread, glue, or heat. Small sections of hair are gently pulled through the rings and clamped in place. The wefts themselves are reusable and can be reapplied as your hair grows.

A quick way to narrow it down before your consultation.
Want it to last as long as possible?
Fusion keratin holds up the longest with proper care.
Need it for one night or event?
Clip-ins go in and out yourself — no appointment needed.
Want zero heat or glue, ever?
Microlinks and micro weft use neither — just silicon-lined rings.
