We offer different types of hair extensions.

The best extension method or combination of methods for you depends on your hair’s length and strength, the look you want to achieve, and your budget. Lifestyle, daily styling habits, and maintenance preferences are also important factors we’ll discuss during your consultation. 

Genius Wefts

Applied with an invisible beaded row method, these ultra-thin, flexible wefts lay flat to the head and blend seamlessly.

Keratin Bond (K-tips)

Our hair extensions will totally transform your look!

Hair extensions are a true game changer. Whether you want plush length, added fullness, or extra coverage for thin or sparse hair, we can completely transform your style. Extensions can also elevate your color—think brighter blondes, sun-kissed highlights, or added dimension without the commitment of chemical processing. At Monaco Salon, we use only the highest quality human hair, designed to blend seamlessly and last for months—with some methods lasting up to a year with proper care. Best of all, our extensions are applied with techniques that protect your natural hair and scalp. The results look so natural, no one will believe you’re wearing extensions.

Hair Extensions for Short Hair

Many women assume their hair is too short for extensions, but with the right extension method, strategic placement, and enough natural hair to conceal the attachments, hair extensions can create both length and volume on surprisingly short hairstyles.

The key is choosing the right approach. Short hair transformations require more planning, more customization, and often more hair than a typical extension installation. Our specialists carefully evaluate your starting length, density, haircut, and goals to create a result that looks natural from every angle.

Hair extensions may be a great option if you want to:

  • Add length to a bob or lob haircut
  • Grow out a short haircut or bangs more gracefully
  • Add fullness to fine or thin hair
  • Create a dramatic transformation
  • Blend layers or uneven growth
  • Restore confidence after hair thinning or hair loss

Because short hair presents unique challenges, proper color matching, blending, and placement are especially important. Our team specializes in creating seamless transitions that make extensions look like they naturally belong.

Extensions That Match Your Natural Texture

Finding hair extensions for naturally curly hair can be challenging. Many extension brands primarily offer straight or loosely waved hair, making it difficult to achieve a seamless blend for women with curls.

At Monaco Salon, we offer hair in multiple textures, including options designed to blend beautifully with naturally curly hair. Whether you wear your curls naturally every day or alternate between curly and smooth styles, we can help you choose an extension solution that looks and feels like your own hair.

Whether you have straight hair or curly, the goal is always the same: your extensions should enhance your natural hair without looking like extensions.

Hair Extension Correction

Not Happy With Your Current Hair Extensions?

Not every hair extension installation goes as planned. We regularly meet women who invested in extensions elsewhere but are struggling with discomfort, visible attachments, poor color matching, excessive shedding, tangling, or damage caused by improper application.

At Monaco Salon, we specialize in evaluating and correcting extension work that isn't performing the way it should. Whether your extensions were installed incorrectly, the method isn't right for your hair type, or the overall result simply doesn't look natural, we can help.

Our team will assess your current extensions, the condition of your natural hair, and your long-term goals before recommending the best path forward.

Common concerns we help correct include:

  • Visible or bulky extension attachments
  • Poor color matching or blending
  • Uneven length or density
  • Tangling and matting
  • Extension-related hair damage
  • Incorrect extension method selection
  • Improper placement causing discomfort

In many cases, we can remove, reposition, reblend, or completely redesign your extension installation to create a more comfortable, natural-looking result.

We specialize in custom color for hair extensions.

Never underestimate the power of color when it comes to your hair extensions.

At Monaco Salon, we are masters at custom color matching—blending extensions seamlessly with your natural hair so no one can tell where your hair ends and the extensions begin. Extensions also allow us to create beautiful, chemical-free color effects. Want sun-kissed blonde highlights, dimensional caramel and chocolate tones, or an extra pop of icy brightness? We can achieve it all by strategically adding extensions, without putting your natural hair through additional lightening or processing. When it comes to custom color for hair extensions, our experience is unmatched. Many of our extensions come pre-colored in natural, rooted or vivid shades, or we can custom color your extensions, or do a combination to create the perfect look.

Hair Extension Care

Beautiful hair extensions require the right at-home care. The products you use, how you brush your hair, and even how you sleep can affect the appearance and longevity of your extensions. Following proper care guidelines can help prevent tangling, dryness, matting, and unnecessary wear while keeping both your extensions and natural hair in excellent condition.

During your consultation and installation appointment, we'll teach you exactly how to care for your extensions based on the hair and method you choose.

Hair Extension Maintenance & Move-Up Appointments

To keep your extensions looking natural and protect the health of your own hair, regular maintenance appointments are essential.

The timing of your maintenance visits depends on the method you're wearing and how quickly your natural hair grows.

Typical maintenance schedules include:

  • Genius Wefts: Every 6-12 weeks
  • Keratin Bond Extensions: Every 3-6 months
  • Hair Toppers: Every 4-8 weeks
  • V-Light Extensions: Every 2-3 weeks

During your maintenance appointment, we may reposition extensions, refresh your color, replace worn hair, trim the ends, or make adjustments to ensure your extensions continue to blend seamlessly.

Frequent Questions About Our Hair Extension Services

Will hair extensions work on short hair?

«

Yes. As long as your natural hair is at least 3-4 inches long, we can blend extensions seamlessly. Depending on your current layers and density, we may recommend one method over another (such as K-Tips for very short styles) to ensure the attachments remain invisible. We can determine the perfect plan during your free consultation.

Do you offer NBR extensions?

«

We do the method, not the NBR brand. We use the NBR-style install with our premium wefts, so it feels flat, comfy, and looks real. We use luxury hair like Great Lengths and HairDreams.

Learn about the differences between natural beaded row extensions and Monaco wefts.

Will the extensions match my exact hair color?

«

Absolutely. We rarely take a single color out of a box and apply it. We order the closest premium match and then custom-blend, highlight, or root-shadow the extensions to ensure they mimic the dimension and tone of your natural hair perfectly.

Can you re-install hair extensions that have been worn already?

«

Yes, sometimes. We can re-install extensions only if the hair is 100% human hair, in good condition, and works with the methods we use.

  • If the hair was installed at Monaco, yes, as long as it still looks and feels great.
  • If you bought the hair from Monaco but took a break: yes, if it’s still in good shape.
  • If the hair was purchased/installed elsewhere: maybe - only if it matches our methods and is a brand we work with (ex, Great Lengths, Bellami, HairDreams) and is in good condition.

Keratin bond extensions: No. Once removed, they are one-time use and cannot be reinstalled.

How do I care for my extensions at home?

«

Home care is simple once you know the basics. The most important rules are to brush gently from ends to root, use sulfate-free professional products (like the ones in your Gift Set), and never sleep with wet hair. We will provide you with a full guide during your appointment.
