At Enlighten Beauty Studio, we specialize in premium extension services that deliver undetectable volume, length, and dimension tailored to your unique hair type and lifestyle. Quality installation isn't just about attaching hair — it's a precise art requiring expert color matching, strategic placement, and ongoing maintenance. Our certified stylists invest hours in training to master techniques that protect your natural hair while creating seamless blends that look authentically yours. Two Premium Extension Methods Our studio offers two professionally installed extension techniques, each suited to different hair types, lifestyles, and aesthetic goals. Understanding the differences helps you choose the ideal method for your needs. Tape - In Extensions Thin, discreet strips attached with medical - grade adhesive tape • Quick installation process • Comfortable daily wear • Ideal for fine to medium hair • 6 - 8 week wear time Beaded Weft Extensions Hand - sewn wefts secured with tiny beads for maximum security • Durable, long - lasting hold • Suitable for all hair types • Great for active lifestyles • 8 - 12 week wear time Tape - In Hair Extensions Boston What to Expect 01 Color Matching & Consultation Your stylist selects 2 - 3 complementary shades from our premium Remy human hair collection, ensuring a natural blend with your existing hair color and undertones. 02 Preparation & Sectioning Clean, dry hair is carefully sectioned into strategic placement zones. Each tape - in weft is measured and positioned to maximize volume where you need it most. 03 Application Process Thin wefts (approximately 1.5 inches wide) are sandwiched between small sections of your hair using medical - grade tape. The process takes 1 - 2 hours depending on desired volume. 04 Finishing & Styling Wefts are trimmed and blended with your natural hair using precision cutting techniques. Your stylist demonstrates proper brushing and styling methods for at - home care. Maintenance Timeline: Tape - ins require repositioning every 6 - 8 weeks as your hair grows. During move - up appointments, we remove, re - tape, and reposition wefts for continued seamless integration. Beaded Weft Extensions Boston What to Expect The Installation Method Beaded wefts use a micro - loop technique where tiny, color - matched beads secure hand - sewn hair wefts to small sections of your natural hair. Unlike tape - ins, this method requires no adhesive, making it ideal for sensitive scalps. Ideal Hair Types • All hair textures and densities • Thick or coarse hair types • Active women who exercise regularly • Those seeking maximum durability Styling Versatility Beaded wefts withstand heat styling, swimming, and vigorous activity without compromising hold. They're perfect for women with dynamic lifestyles who refuse to compromise on hair goals. Why Professional Extensions in Boston MA Custom Color Matching Our stylists hand - select multiple shades from premium Remy human hair collections, creating dimension that mimics natural hair growth patterns. We avoid single - color monotony, blending 2 - 3 complementary tones for authenticity. Expert Blending Techniques Strategic placement and precision cutting ensure extensions integrate invisibly with your natural hair. We layer wefts to create movement and dimension, avoiding the "helmet hair" look that plagues DIY attempts. Damage Prevention Professional installation protects your natural hair through proper sectioning, weight distribution, and secure attachment methods. We assess your hair health before recommending any extension method, prioritizing long - term hair wellness. Premium Longevity High - quality Remy human hair withstands 6 - 12 months of proper care, far exceeding drugstore synthetic alternatives. With professional maintenance, premium extensions deliver superior value over time. Understanding Extension Pricing Your investment in professional hair extensions reflects the quality of materials, artistry, and ongoing care required for fl awl ess results. Understanding these factors helps you budget appropriately. Hair Quality Premium Remy human hair (cuticle - intact, tangle - resistant) costs significantly more than synthetic or non - Remy human hair. The investment ensures natural movement, styling versatility, and longevity. Length Longer extensions require more hair per weft, increasing material costs. Standard lengths range from 16 - 24 inches, with 18 - 20 inches being most popular for natural - looking volume. Volume Needed Fullness requirements vary by client — from subtle enhancement (5 - 7 wefts) to dramatic transformation (15+ wefts). Your stylist assesses your hair density and goals to recommend ideal volume. Maintenance Frequency Move - up appointments every 6 - 12 weeks sustain seamless integration as your hair grows. Factor ongoing maintenance into your total investment — typically 2 - 3 sessions annually. Your Aftercare & Maintenance Guide Washing Instructions • Wash every 2 - 3 days with sulfate - free shampoo • Apply conditioner from mid - length to ends only • Gently detangle before washing • Avoid saturating attachment points with water • Rinse thoroughly and air - dry when possible Brushing Techniques • Use a soft - bristle extension brush or wide - tooth comb • Start from ends and work upward gently • Brush 2 - 3 times daily to prevent tangles • Avoid brushing wet extensions • Carefully brush around attachment points Salon Move - Up Appointments: Schedule repositioning every 6 - 8 weeks for tape - ins or 8 - 12 weeks for beaded wefts. During these visits, we remove, refresh, and reposition extensions as your natural hair grows approximately ½ inch monthly. Frequently Asked Questions Will extensions damage my natural hair? Professional installation with proper weight distribution causes no damage. Our stylists assess your hair health before recommending any method, ensuring safe application that protects your natural hair. Can I style my extensions? Premium Remy human hair accepts heat styling up to 350 ° F, color services, and chemical treatments. Avoid excessive heat and always use heat protectant sprays for longevity. How long do extensions last? With proper care and professional maintenance, premium extensions deliver 6 - 12 months of flawless wear. Synthetic alternatives last 2 - 3 months but lack natural movement and styling versatility. Can I swim with extensions? Yes, but soak extensions in fresh water before swimming, rinse immediately after, and avoid prolonged exposure to chlorine or salt water. Beaded wefts withstand swimming better than tape - ins.
