Welcome to The Best Hair Extensions & Color Salon in Tampa

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

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.

Our weft extensions services.

We get a lot of call with this very question, and it's impossible to give an exact answer over the phone. The cost of hair extensions depends on many factors, including the type of hair we use, the size and density of the wefts, the length, and how much hair we need to create your look.

Application time also impacts the cost of your hair extensions. The cost of hair extensions can range from a few hundred dollars to over a thousand dollars. 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.

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.

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.

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.

Monaco Hair Salon is home to some the best hairdressers in the state of Florida. Each of our hairstylists have mastered the art of hair color.

Blonde hair has a broad spectrum of shades, from dark blondes to platinum, from icy blondes to warm honey blondes. Blonde hair, whether highlights, lowlights, balayage or all over blonde, has its own unique needs.  Ask for one of our blonde hair specialists when booking an appointment. Every hair color service starts with a color consult.

We get it. Sometimes it's difficult to get to the salon - like during a pandemic - and you take matters into your own hands. Perhaps you tried a semi permanent or permanent color kit at home and the color looks nothing like the one pictured on the box.  If you've used a drug store hair color and are't happy with the results, we can remove it.

It is possible to remove box hair dye, but this task is best left to a reputable hair salon. The last thing you want to do is permanently damage your hair by experimenting with chemicals.  Give Monaco Hair Salon a call at (813) 870-1709 ask for an appointment with one of our best hair color correction experts.

Traditional foils and the balayage technique will both give you highlights, the difference is the intensity of the result. Balayage is a freehand technique that creates softer, more natural-looking highlights with a sun-kissed effect, while foils create more precise, defined streaks of color.

Which one should I get?

The answer depends on the look you want and how often are you willing to maintain it. Ask yourself how obvious you want your highlights to be, and if you want highlights all the way to the root. Highlights will have to be maintained every 6-8 weeks, while balayage usually grows out more gracefully, making it a lower-maintenance option.

It depends on just how dark your hair is and its condition. It also depends on if you want a "blonde all over" look or a highlighted look. Going significantly lighter all over often requires multiple sessions to maintain the health of your hair and achieve the desired tone without excessive damage. We are blonding specialists and will be able to tell you how to get to the color you want safely.

Use sulfate-free shampoo and conditioner, wash less frequently, protect your hair from heat with a thermal spray, and minimize sun and chlorine exposure.

Schedule a gloss or toner service to give your color a boost if you're not due for a full color service.

Lived-in color is a technique that blends multiple shades (usually highlights and lowlights, or balayage) to create a dimensional look that grows out without harsh lines. It’s designed to give you a graceful grow in at the roots, allowing you more time between touch-ups while still looking polished. No wonder it's so popular!

It depends on the type of color service and your personal preferences.

• All-over permanent color: Roots typically need refreshing every 4–6 weeks, especially if you’re covering gray or maintaining a platinum blonde.
• Highlights: Depending on your style, you may need to touch up your roots every 6-8 weeks.
• Lived in color: These grow out more softly and can last 3–4 months before a full touch-up. Many guests come in sooner for a gloss or toner to keep the color fresh and shiny.
• Fashion shades (reds, coppers, vivid colors): These tend to fade faster and may need refreshing every 4–8 weeks to keep the color vibrant.

Your stylist at Monaco Salon will customize a maintenance plan so your color always looks its best—whether that means regular root touch-ups, seasonal refreshes, or low-maintenance lived-in color.

Come with clean, dry hair if you're getting highlights, and avoid using heavy styling products the day of your appointment. It’s also helpful to bring inspiration photos and be ready to talk about your hair goals, maintenance preferences, and past color history so we can create the perfect plan for your hair.

Yes! At Monaco Salon, we specialize in hair extensions and toppers and are experts in custom coloring them to match your natural hair seamlessly. Whether you’re coloring your natural hair, the extension hair, or both, we take extra care to blend everything flawlessly.
