Installation time varies based on hair density, desired length, and technique used. Most appointments take between three to six hours. A consultation helps determine exact timing; be prepared for a longer session for thicker hair or more intricate, customized loc placement.

When installed and maintained by trained professionals, extensions shouldn’t harm your hair. Proper attachment, not too tight tension, regular scalp care, and scheduled maintenance minimize risk. We assess hair strength and recommend styles that prioritize healthy hair growth.

Yes — many styling options are available. We recommend professional coloring and heat styling to avoid weakening bonds. Some synthetic extension types limit coloring; discuss materials during consultation to plan safe color changes and versatile styling.
