Your Guide to Hair Extensions by Monaco Salon in Tampa

FACT: Hair extensions vary by attachment method and depending on your hair type and condition, one may be better for you than others.

Tape in Hair Extensions are attached using a medical grade adhesive and can be applied to your natural hair close to the scalp.

Fusion Hair Extensions are fitted with a keratin bond and are attached to your hair with a small thermal wand.

Hand Tied Weft Extensions use a natural beaded row method where each weft is hand sewn onto a track of tiny beads.

The size and density of the wefts will vary depending on the attachment method. And depending on the manufacturer, the quality, price and selection of color choices will vary. That's why it's so important to seek a hair extensions professional that can match your hair and your desired style with the right hair extensions.  For example, hand tied extensions are lightweight and are suitable for most women. But if you have thin hair and want to add volume around the face, then your stylist may suggest tape in extensions. They are very gentle to install and remove AND they lie flat against the scalp, making them ideal for use around the hairline. 

FACT: The best time to ask questions about hair extensions is BEFORE you get hair extensions!

Ask About Credentials

If you are serious about hair extensions, ask a lot of questions. An experienced stylist will have before and after pictures of their hair extensions work, and written feedback from previous guests. Ask them about their training and which certifications they have received. Your stylist should be willing to explain the options that will work best for your hair type and be able to give you a price for the service. Your stylist should prepare you for how to care for, style and maintain your extensions once you leave the salon.

Looking for Hair Extensions in Tampa, South Tampa, Clearwater, St Pete, Largo, Brandon or Lutz?

If you are considering hair extensions, do your homework. Many salons  promise to be the “best” or the “official” hair extension salon so we can understand how difficult it can be to find a true hair extensions expert in the Palm Harbor, Tampa, Clearwater areas.  We will be very upfront with you.  We'll investigate your needs and make sure your hair is right for extensions, THEN make suggestions. We will talk very openly about your budget and all of the time and expenses you can expect to have them put in, maintained and removed. Depending on whether you are adding length, fullness, colored highlights, or just dressing your hair up for a special occasion –or adding crystal strands, feathers, or bright accent pieces – the cost can vary greatly. Blending and matching hair extensions to your hair color and highlights is an ART, one that most stylists have not mastered.
