How long do the extensions last?The amount of time the hair extensions will remain in the hair can depend on your desired result, hair texture, and how much hair we add. On average, a lengthening service will see the extensions remain in the hair for 4-6 months before they grow out enough to be removed.
-
How is the extension attached to the hair?These particular extensions have a keratin protein tip on them that is softened with a heat tool and formed around small sections of your hair.
-
How are the extensions removed?An alcohol-based spray formulated specifically for the keratin tips is sprayed on the keratin attachments. Then we use a tool to gently break the bonds seal, and the extension is slipped out past your natural hair, keeping your natural hair intact!

What are the Hair Extensions made of and where do they come from?The extensions that Lindsey uses at The Silva Chair Salon are 100% high end real human hair and the extensions are attached to your natural hair using a keratin protein tip. Most of the world's hair extensions come from India. The Extensions used at The Silva Chair Salon are no exception to this, what makes the difference is how they are sourced and the price paid for the extensions. Higher quality hair is sourced from the temples in India. In India it is a common practice to donate hair at the temples, this hair is perfect for keratin tipped extensions for a few reasons: Indian hair is similar to the widest range in hair texture, and it is what gives these extensions the beautiful body wave that helps them look so natural instead of hanging stick straight (a clear giveaway that you are wearing extensions). Temple-donated hair is also perfect for extensions because of how meticulously it is collected. Before the hair is cut it is put into a braid, ensuring the cuticle (outer layer of the hair) is all aligned in the same direction (ensuring less tangling). The hair is kept in tact in elastic bands and then purchased. The quality of hair used by The Silva Chair is hair that hasn't been previously colored or chemically altered, which gives it more longevity of use instead of breaking down and tangling as quickly. The temples then use the proceeds from selling the hair to fund schools, orphanages and for other charitable purposes throughout the community. This is one of the many reasons Lindsey finds it so important to purchase from sources that only pay fair-market prices for this high-quality hair. Lindsey's extensions at The Silva Chair Salon are 100% high-end real human hair. The extensions are attached to your natural hair using a keratin protein tip.
-
How are the extensions colored?Most of these extensions are colored using textile dyes and the same technology used to color cashmere clothing! This process ensures that the color will not fade as quickly as regular hair color.
-
Will I still be able to put my hair up in a pony tail/bun or curl my hair?Yes! Ponytails, side braids, buns, etc., are all still achievable with these extensions. There may be certain styling restrictions (for example, if you have a shaved section or are extremely thin in a particular area). If you have any concerns about your ability to style, we can discuss these during your consultation! It is always best practice to use a heat protectant spray before heat styling your hair with or without extensions in your hair. Because these are high-quality human hair, you will still be able to curl, straighten, and blow-dry your hair while you have extensions. Just carefully avoid placing your hot tools on the keratin tip.
-
Can I still get my hair color touched up with the extensions in?Yes! While it is not recommended to use at-home color kits, you can still go to your regular stylist and get your color touched up when you have extensions in your hair.
-
Why do I need to have a consultation in order to get a price quote?The price of extensions varies greatly. Pricing is determined based on your current hair density, texture, length, and fullness compared to your desired result.

Why Keratin Tipped Extensions?
​
The extensions I choose to use at The Silva Chair Salon are the high quality 100% real human hair. These extensions have a keratin protein tip which allows more versatility with hairstyles and the best possible blending with your natural hair. The extensions are not blended with synthetic hair, and they are responsibly sourced.
I can fully customize these hair extensions to help you achieve your dream hair! Extensions can add volume, length, a fun pop of color, or a mix of all of the above.
This method is popular because it is surprisingly low maintenance. Unlike other methods, these extensions do not have to be “moved up” every 5-8 weeks and instead are removed in about 4-6 months, and we can order new hair for a change of color, length, etc.
​
The price range for this extension method varies depending on your current length, texture, and density vs. your desired look. The available lengths vary from 16" to 25" and come in straight, wavy, or curly textures.
​
Keratin bonded extensions are an exciting option for thin or fine hair! The bonds can be customized in size and placement to keep them hidden without adding excess weight.
​
We can even custom color your extensions to match your desired look!
​
Because of the variety of looks these extensions provide, a consultation is necessary to give an exact price. Please fill out the Online Consultation Form to get your quote!
