Hair Extensions Consultation Questions
How much do hair extensions cost in Arlington?
Hair extensions pricing varies significantly based on the method, amount of hair needed, and your desired result. At Boncomb Beauty, full installation typically ranges from $XXX to $XXX, with maintenance appointments every 6-8 weeks. During your consultation, we’ll provide an exact quote based on your specific needs – no surprises, no hidden fees. We believe Arlington women deserve complete transparency before making this investment.
What should I bring to my extensions consultation?
Bring inspiration photos showing your desired length, volume, and style. Come with clean, dry hair styled as you normally wear it – this helps us assess your natural texture and current condition. If you’ve had extensions before, bring any information about what method was used and how your hair responded. The more we know, the better recommendations we can make.
Can I get extensions if my hair is thin or damaged?
It depends on the extent of thinning or damage. Some extension methods are gentler than others and can work beautifully with fine or fragile hair. However, if your hair isn’t healthy enough to support extensions safely, we’ll be honest with you. We may recommend a conditioning treatment regimen first, or suggest alternative solutions like volumizing cuts or smoothing treatments that create the appearance of fuller hair.
How long do hair extensions last?
Quality extensions with proper maintenance typically last 3-6 months before needing replacement. However, they require maintenance appointments every 6-8 weeks to move them up as your natural hair grows. During your consultation at our Arlington salon, we’ll discuss the full timeline and help you understand the ongoing commitment so there are no surprises.
Will extensions damage my natural hair?
When properly installed, maintained, and removed by trained professionals, extensions should not damage your natural hair. Problems typically arise from improper installation, skipped maintenance appointments, or DIY removal. At Boncomb Beauty, we prioritize your natural hair’s health above all else – which is exactly why we require a consultation before any installation.
Can I color my hair with extensions?
Your natural hair can be colored with extensions in, but the extensions themselves cannot be lightened. This is why color matching during your consultation is so important. If you’re considering a color change, we recommend completing your color service before extension installation, or we can coordinate both services for a seamless result.
What Clients Say About Their Consultation
“I’d been wanting extensions for years but was intimidated by the cost and commitment. My consultation at Boncomb was eye-opening – they were completely honest about what my fine hair could handle and gave me a realistic picture of the maintenance involved. I actually waited three months after my consultation to move forward, and they never pressured me once. When I was ready, they remembered everything we discussed. That’s the kind of salon relationship I’d been looking for.”
