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.
We offer different types of hair extensions.
At Monaco Salon, we specialize in several different types of hair extensions to suit every guest’s needs. Extensions vary by attachment method, and we carry a wide range of colors, lengths, and textures to ensure a perfect match.
- Genius Weft Extensions– Applied with an invisible beaded row method, these ultra-thin, flexible wefts lay flat to the head and blend seamlessly.
- Keratin Bond Extensions– Attached strand by strand with a small thermal wand, keratin bonds offer natural movement and long-lasting results. We also offer Euro hair and micro-mini keratin bonds for fine hair or detailed work.
- UV Light Extensions - A cutting-edge method where tiny bonds are secured using a safe UV light system. The result is ideal for adding volume around the hairline and part line.
- Hair Toppers– A non-surgical, no-shave, no-glue solution for adding coverage at the top of the head. Perfect for thinning hair or bare spots, toppers blend naturally with your own hair.
- Mesh Integration – A specialized solution for those with fine or fragile hair, where a lightweight mesh creates a secure base for added hair and volume.
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.

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.
Extensions require advanced training, technical skill, and an eye for detail.
If you’re in the Tampa, St. Pete, or Clearwater area and looking for hair extensions, don’t trust just anyone with your hair.
We have over 20 years of experience installing, coloring, maintaining, and safely removing hair extensions. At Monaco Salon, every stylist who offers extensions is professionally trained and certified in multiple methods. That means we can recommend the right system for your hair type, lifestyle, and goals—not a one-size-fits-all solution. We also keep hundreds of colors and lengths in stock, so we can custom-match your extensions to your natural hair and even create chemical-free highlights or added dimension.
Equally important, we know when and how to safely remove extensions without causing damage to your natural hair or scalp. This expertise is what makes Monaco Salon one of Tampa’s most trusted destinations for hair extensions and hair loss solutions.

Frequent Questions About Our Hair Extension Services
Will hair extensions work on short hair?
«If you have short hair, or hair with shorter layers, we can apply hair extensions as long as your hair is at least 3-4 inches long. Depending on your current style, we may recommend one type of hair extensions over another. We recommend starting with a free hair extensions consultation. https://www.monacosalon.com/booking
Read more on our blog about hair extensions and short hair.
Do you offer NBR extensions?
«We get a lot of questions about NBR weft extensions. First, let's clarify because the method and the brand go by the same name. We do not offer the NBR brand of extensions. We do offer the NBR method (Natural Beaded Row) for our genius wefts. Learn more on our blog about the differences between natural beaded row extensions and Monaco wefts.
Will the extensions match my exact hair color?
«Yes! We order the closest match possible, then customize with blending, highlights, or lowlights.

Can you re-install hair extensions that have been worn already?
«Whether or not we can re-install hair will depend on a few factors, as our priority is always to protect the integrity of your hair and provide you with a high quality service. Generally speaking, we can re-install hair from any company as long as it is in good condition, 100% human hair, and appropriate for the methods we use.
Here are some difference scenarios to clarify our policy on reinstalling hair.
If your hair was installed at Monaco Salon and we're doing a maintenance appointment on your hand-tied wefts, or hair topper, YES we reuse and re-install the hair as often as we can over the life expectancy of the hair. We will let you know when your hair is getting close to the point where it needs to be replaced.
Suppose you took a break from your extensions and you want to bring us hair purchased at Monaco Salon, and within one of our installation methods, YES we can reinstall the hair provided that it is still in good shape.
What if you come to us for maintenance or move up for extensions that were purchased and installed somewhere else, will we reinstall the hair? If the hair is within one of our installation methods and within one of the specific brands we work with (Great Lengths, Bellami, Hair Dreams etc) YES we can reinstall the hair provided that it is still in good shape.
Will we install hair you purchased elsewhere and have worn, and it is within one of our installation methods and within one of the specific brands we work with (Great Lengths, Bellami, and Hair dreams), YES we can reinstall the hair provided that it is still in good shape
Will we re-install keratin bond extensions? NO, once removed, keratin bond hair cannot be reapplied, regardless of where you purchased them or which brand they are. Keratin bond extensions are a one time use item and can not be reinstalled once removed.
Can you install extensions that I purchased somewhere else?
«Generally speaking, we can install hair from any company as long as it is in good condition, 100% human hair, and appropriate for the application methods we use. No matter where you purchased the hair, even if already worn, we can re-install it provided that the hair meets that criteria.
Can you custom color hair extensions that I purchased somewhere else?
«We understand that some guests already own hair extensions and may want us to adjust the color. While we don’t mind installing extensions you’ve purchased elsewhere, we will not color, dye, or lighten any extensions not purchased directly through Monaco Salon—even if they are human hair or a brand we regularly use.
Here’s why:
- Unknown quality cannot be guaranteed. Not all hair labeled “100% human” is the same quality. Some extensions are processed in ways that make them unpredictable when exposed to color. Coloring them can lead to breakage, uneven tones, or permanent damage, and we can't be responsible for that.
- Chemical history is unknown. If we didn’t source the hair, we can’t know how it was previously processed (bleached, tinted, or chemically treated). Even small differences in processing can affect how the hair reacts to color.
- Protecting your investment. Coloring extensions is not like coloring natural hair—it’s more delicate and far less forgiving. By only coloring hair we’ve supplied, we protect you from spending money on extensions that might be ruined in the process.
Warranty Policy Reminder:
If you purchase extensions and have them installed at Monaco Salon, only our stylists should cut or color those extensions. If another salon alters them in any way (cutting, dyeing, or lightening), any remaining Monaco Salon warranty on the hair is voided.
How do I care for my extensions at home?
«Caring for your extensions at home is easy once you learn 4 basic rules. View our hair extensions home care guide.
How much do hair extensions cost at Monaco?
«We get a lot of calls with this question, and the answer depends on many factors. Hair extensions prices can range from a few hundred dollars to over a thousand dollars depending on the brand, the attachment method, the amount and length of hair. Application time also impacts the cost of your hair extensions. We can propose different ways to work within your budget, depending on the look you are trying to achieve. You may not need a full head of extensions, and we can add volume and length where you need it.
