How much does hair weaving cost?
     The cost of hair weaving depends mostly on which method is used and in some cases how much hair is needed to make it all blend and look natural. A full hair unit, which is a base with 100% hair attached, can start at $850 and up for a more custom hair unit. Strand by strand methods using the SoCap bonding method starts at $1500. For our most common method, track extensions, the initial cost for hair, the service to put it in and cut the hair, is $300 and up.

 How is the hair attached?
   
Our hair units can be attached using a bonding method, microlinks, or a small braided track using sections of your own hair along with a nylon thread and the hair unit is sewn on to the braided track. The strand by strand SoCap method uses a protein/keratin bond to attach the hair to centimeter sized sections. Tracks attach the hair by making a small braided track along the scalp using small sections of the client’s hair along with a nylon thread, then sewing wefts of 100% human hair to the track. Our hair units are attached using either tracks made with the existing hair sewing the hair unit to the track, or bonding the hair unit to the skin.

What kind of hair do you use?
     We only use 100% human hair.

What about maintenance?
     With the tracks, you will need to come in every 4-6 wks for us to remove the hair, take out the braid, and put it back in moving the track either up a little or down so the tracks aren’t always pulling the same sections of hair.  Maintenance on tracks is $42 per track. Bonding requires you to come in every three to four weeks for us to remove the hair and bond, shampoo the scalp, and reapply the hair. The strand by strand extensions last longer, but we ask you to come in every 6 weeks to check on the integrity of the bond.

How do I take care of the hair?
     The hair is 100% human so feel free to use a flat iron, curling iron, hot rollers and blow dryer on the hair.  Please only use the quality shampoos and conditioners we have  on the hair, as the hair isn’t growing from your scalp it’s not getting the natural oils from your scalp so it can dry out much faster.  When brushing the hair, start at the bottom and work your way up to the root.  Always use a thermal protector on the hair when using heated styling tools.
