The Process of Getting Hair Extensions
Thinking about getting hair extensions but not sure what to expect? At BCY Artistry, we want to make the process as smooth and enjoyable as possible for you. Here’s a step-by-step guide on what to expect.
Step 1: Quick Hair Extension Form
In order to schedule you properly for an in-person consultation as well as determine if you’re a candidate for extensions, you’ll need to fill out a quick & easy form. This will assist in answering your questions as well as help your stylist determine if your hair is a good fit for the hair extension methods we offer.
Step 2: Consultation
During your consultation, we’ll discuss your hair goals, assess your natural hair, and ensure a proper color match. We are experts at perfectly matching your natural hair color to your extensions. This step is crucial for a seamless blend. We will chat about your current hair care routines, take a look at hair photos, and choose the best type of extensions for you. During the consultation we will also discuss after care, maintenance, and removal steps, as well as determine the total price for your desired, custom look.
Step 3: Apply Your Hair Extensions
The application process varies depending on the type of extensions you choose:
- Tape-Ins: Small sections of pre-taped hair are applied flat to your head. This process is quick and heatless. (1-2 hour average application time)
- Weft Extensions: A flexible weft of hair is hand-sewn onto a row of beads attached to your natural hair.(2-4 hour average application time)
- Fusion/KTip Extensions: Extensions are bonded to your natural hair using keratin bonds. (3-6 hour average application time)
- I-Tip Extensions: Extensions are attached with small silicone-lined beads. (3-6 hour average application time)
Step 4: Blending and Shaping
Once your extensions are applied, your extensions will be blended into your natural hair to move weightlessly and effortlessly. ✂️ This is where the magic happens! ✨
Step 5: Photos and Aftercare
We’ll take a few “after” photos of your finished look and provide you with all the necessary aftercare instructions to keep your extensions looking fabulous. Expect a thank you treat from us too!💋
