Extensions

We offer sew-in and tape-in extensions. Please read through the following information thoroughly before booking your first extension appointment.

For pricing see our Service Menu.

First Appointment:

This is your color matching consultation and is required to discuss your vision and what would be required to make that a reality for you.
A Non-refundable payment is required to reserve your first appointment – this is to purchase your hair.

Initial Application Appointment:

Initial application includes prepping the hair, a wash and blow-dry on your natural, and a haircut to blend the extensions.
Any color to customize extensions further would be a la carte.

Adjustment Appointments:

Adjustments are usually about 1.5 – 3 hours will be every 6-8 weeks. It is preferable to book a couple adjustment appointments out to make sure you reserve your time as it is a larger service. Color will not be included in the adjustment appointment and would be treated as a la carte services and added to your appointment time accordingly.
Adjustments include removal of extensions, wash and blow-dry, reapplication of extensions and a blending haircut if needed.

Frequently Asked Questions:

* What’s the difference between sew-in and tape-in extensions?

Tape-In’s

Tape-in extensions are thin wefts of hair with a medical-grade adhesive strip at the top. They are applied by “sandwiching” a small section of your natural hair between two extension pieces.

Best For

• Fine to medium hair
• Clients who want a lightweight, flexible feel
• Those who wear their hair down frequently
• Lower tension on the scalp

Maintenance

• Move-up appointments every 6–8 weeks
• Quick reinstallation process
• Reusable with proper care

Pros

✔ Lightweight and comfortable
✔ Lay very flat against the head
✔ Blend beautifully for natural fullness
✔ Faster install time

Considerations

• Requires proper home care (no heavy oils near adhesive)
• Not ideal for very oily scalps

Sew-In’s

Sew-in extensions are installed by creating a secure row using small beads, then sewing a weft of hair onto that row using thread. No glue or heat is involved.

Best For

• Medium to thick hair
• Clients wanting maximum fullness
• Those who wear their hair up often
• Longer wear between maintenance visits

Maintenance

• Move-up appointments every 8–10 weeks
• Hair can typically be reused for several months

Pros

✔ Extremely secure
✔ No adhesive
✔ Great for dramatic length and density
✔ Excellent for active lifestyles

Considerations

• Slightly longer install time
• Can feel tighter the first few days

So… Which One Should You Choose?

There’s no “better” method — only what’s better for you.

If your hair is finer and you want something ultra-light and discreet, tape-ins may be perfect.
If you want bold volume, durability, and long-term wear, sew-ins might be your match.

At Mane Street Hair & Color Studio, we always start with a consultation to evaluate your hair type, lifestyle, and goals before recommending a method. Extensions should enhance your confidence — not compromise your hair’s health.

*Do I have to alter my life to wear extensions?
No, just make sure you tell your stylist how you usually wear your hair and your daily activities so that the placement can be customized.

*How long does the hair last?
The hair usually lasts 6-9 months and can last up to a year. It all depends on how well it is taken care of at home.

*Its it bad for my natural hair?
Not if you’re taking care of it properly as explained by your stylist. As long as you brush in between the rows of wefts so there is no matting. Matting can cause tension and breakage.

*Do I need to color my hair to match them?
We try to match the extensions to your hair currently, so no, you do not need to color your hair differently to match them, but you may want to. It is also important to think about the color and style you want to have for your hair for a while, as this is an investment.

*Why do my extensions feel more dry than my natural hair?
Your extensions are not attached to your scalp receiving your natural oils, so its important to use leave-in conditioners and oils on your ends often.

*How should I be taking care of them?

Brushing – You should be brushing everyday to make sure your natural hair doesn’t knot between the wefts and definitely before you wash.
Washing – You can really treat them like your regular hair, as long as you’re washing in between the wefts and brushing them before and after. It is important that you dry them, at least your root area so it doesn’t pull on your natural hair. Letting them completely air dry may cause tension on your beads and also cause your scalp to become irritated. It is best to at least dry your root area.
Products to use – You should be using moisturizing products, as the hair typically feels more dry than your natural. We always recommend a hair mask, a leave in conditioner, a heat protectant and an oil for your ends. (NOTE: We only guarantee our services if you are using product we have in the salon and have recommended)
Products to avoid – Using oils and conditioners on your roots may cause the beads to slip and would lead to more regrowth or the wefts falling out.
Sleeping – Brush and braid your hair before going to bed so that they do not tangle and mat while sleeping
Swimming – Make sure to use a leave-in conditioner to protect your hair and use caution when putting your hair up when wet so you can avoid tension on the beads and your natural hair.

THE TRUTH ABOUT SHAMPOO

Let’s Lather….

We all know the reason we wash our hair in the first place is because it’s dirty – but how does it get dirty? There are several ways: your scalp secretes oils that make your hair feel dirty, perspiration which deposits salts, and other hormonal possibilities. On top of that – smoke, pollution, and dust that your hair picks up from the environment also get deposited into your hair. And let’s not forget the residue from styling products such as hairspray, gel, mousse or other products you might use.

For the most part, all this residue on your hair is not very water soluble – meaning just rinsing with water alone won’t make it go away. Enter SHAMPOO with its surfactant molecules. These molecules are designed to remove water insoluble contaminants by working as tiny chemical bridges by linking oil and water together. (Great science fair project! – negative and positive charges – I won’t bore you with it all here but it’s cool!) When shampoo is applied to dirty hair, these tiny chemical cleansers spring into action and “seek out” the drops of oil, dirt, and yesterday’s hairspray and keeps it all suspended in the rinse water so it goes down the drain, not back into your hair.

How often should you wash your hair?

Under normal conditions you should wash your hair once a day. While the new fad is to go as long as humanly possible between washing because “your color will last longer”, “your hair won’t dry out”, or any other reason they’re trying to sell you, the reality is, if you’re using a properly pH balanced shampoo (4.5-5.5. See our blog on ‘Why pH matters’), your shampoo has no salt, and low or no sulfates, daily washing is best. Our scalps get a build up of dirt, oils, and products that block the hair follicles and could clog them and result in hair loss/thinning. Also, the amount of lather DOES NOT affect a shampoo’s ability to clean hair. Foam boosters are added by the manufacturers to improve lather. Any benefits shampoo claims to have beyond cleaning your hair have NO basis in fact! So shampoo with “mangoberry extract for added shine” – NOPE! Marketing and advertising have a powerful impact on the way we think, buy and use products. Don’t fall for their BS!

How to properly wash your hair…

Shampoo using a pH balanced product. DO NOT pile hair and scrub! Scrub the scalp and work shampoo down the hair shaft. Let sit 1-2 minutes. (Wash your face)

Apply Conditioner. Normal/Oily hair – avoid scalp. Dry hair/Scalp, apply from roots to ends. Let sit for 2-5 minutes. (Wash your body and/or shave) Rinse leaving a slight film (it should feel like you could rinse for another couple seconds).

Lower that temperature! Water that is too hot will make your color fade and dry your hair out no matter how good your products are!

What to look for when buying a shampoo

pH. Are you sick of us saying that word yet? A good bottle of shampoo will tell you the pH level ON THE BOTTLE. If it doesn’t say “pH 4.5-5.5” it doesn’t have to be balanced and probably isn’t… that includes ALL professional products. (see our blog on Why pH matters for more in depth facts).

Sulfate free, SALT free. While it is very difficult to find products that have none of these items – there are some that exist (we carry them!). All of those ingredients will fade your color. Salt is used as a thickening agent in shampoo and will abrade the hair cuticle and fade color faster than you can say sodium chloride!

Know your hair type. Curly, straight, colored, damaged…. shampoos have different types of moisturizers in them to give the most benefits to your hair type. Example: wheat proteins are great for straight hair but curly hair needs essential fatty acids in the form of oils. Color treated hair needs moisture in both proteins and EFA’s.

When in doubt, come talk to us, we’ll make sure we get the right product on your head!
