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.

Facts about Conditioners

FACT: There is no such thing as a bad conditioner.

All conditioners are meant to be good for the hair. They don’t contain harsh ingredients to damage or strip the hair. However, if the recommended product is incorrect for a specific hair type, the hair can become weighed down, limp, lifeless, dull and will not hold hair color or perms.

There are two categories of conditioners: “feel good” conditioners and “fix” conditioners. Feel good conditioners don’t necessarily fix the hair and fix conditioners don’t necessarily feel good. Knowing the right ingredients and proper hair analysis is crucial for getting the right product on the right head.

Proper use is extremely important… if not used correctly, there is no benefit!

How to use conditioner properly:

Apply conditioner and let sit for 1-5 minutes (wash your body or shave your legs or sing a little tune while you wait) If you have hair that tangles easily or curls, use a wide tooth comb in the shower to detangle.
Rinse hair until it is slightly filmy. If rinsed squeaky clean there will be no benefit from the product.
A leave-in conditioner should be used on all chemically treated hair in addition to the conditioner used in the shower to fully close cuticle back down to keep color from fading.
- If your hair feels greasy or weighed down from this, then it’s the wrong conditioner for your hair type! Everyone needs a conditioner, its about getting the right one for you!

Types of Conditioners:

Detanglers – For all hair types. Detangles and brings the hair to its proper pH by closing the cuticle.

Moisturizers – For hair that is dry and gets frizzy in the humidity

Reconstructors – For damaged hair deep conditioning; they need to be left on for 3-5 minutes WITH HEAT. The main purpose of a reconstructor is to strengthen or repair hair. The percentage of repair will vary depending on the amounts and types of proteins and essential fatty acids used in the product.

Keratin proteins are the best source. They are 99% effective at fixing damaged hair
Wheat, soy, silk, and quinoa proteins are very effective at repairing hair depending on amounts and quality of ingredients. Wheat is 90% effective while soy, silk, and quinoa are 60% effective. Silk also adds shine

Thermal Protectors – for heat styled hair. To safeguard hair against heat. Silicones and waxes are often used in these because they coat the hair and protect the shaft completely.

Leave-in Conditioners – This is self explanatory. Restores hair’s pH. EVERYDAY. ALL HAIR TYPES

Fun Facts and Tips

After showering apply any conditioner to entire body while skin is still moist. This will act as a body lotion.
Use a pea size amount on hair before getting out of the shower, it will act as a leave-in or just on the ends of long hair that need more conditioning.
Use it as hand cream after washing your hands.
Bring a leave-in conditioner to the beach to hydrate and protect skin and 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!

Keratin treatment FAQ

Below is a list of frequently asked questions about keratin treatments. If we didn’t answer your question here feel free to call or email us.

CAN YOU DO THE TREATMENT AFTER COLORING?
- Yes, if we are just doing a root retouch we can apply it after coloring your hair
CAN I CHANGE MY HAIR COLOR AFTER THE TREATMENT?
- We recommend a minimum of 2 weeks before coloring anything more than the roots.
CAN I SHAMPOO MY HAIR IMMEDIATELY AFTER THE TREATMENT?
- No, we recommend waiting 48 hours from application
WHAT SHOULD I DO IF MY HAIR GETS WET DURING THE FIRST FEW DAYS?
- Blow dry immediately and flat iron on a low-med setting
CAN I WEAR A PONYTAIL OR TIE MY HAIR BACK?
- NO. Hair accessories, pony tails, hats, or sunglasses should be worn during the first 48 hours. Also try to avoid tucking it behind your ears.
CAN I GO INTO THE POOL OR OCEAN AFTER MY TREATMENT?
- Yes, but only AFTER 48 hours. And be sure to rinse it with fresh water as soon as possible.
HOW LONG WILL THE TREATMENT STAY ON MY HAIR?
- 3-4 months on all types of hair.
WHAT SHAMPOO CAN I USE AFTER DOING THE TREATMENT?
- We recommend a pH balanced and sodium chloride free shampoo that will extend the life of your treatment. Please note: if you are NOT using a products we recommend we do not guarantee the results and longevity of your service.
CAN I USE HAIR PRODUCTS LIKE GEL, MOUSSE, OR WAX?
- Not during the first 48 hours. You can use any styling product thereafter.
IF I GET ANY RIDGES IN MY HAIR WHEN I SLEEP, WHAT SHOULD I DO?
- Use a blow dryer to straighten the ridge in the hair and if necessary a low heat flat iron.
CAN I DO THE TREATMENT WHILE PREGNANT OR NURSING?
- It’s not recommended to do any keratin treatments during these times.
WILL THIS STRAIGHTEN MY CURLY HAIR?
- No. Keratin is a smoothing treatment, not a straightening treatment. While it will relax some people’s curl pattern, it is meant to reduce frizz, drying time, and adds shine. If you have naturally wavy hair it could straighten it a little but if you have very curly hair it will not relax the curl.
WHO SHOULD GET A KERATIN TREATMENT?
- Anyone who wants to add shine to their hair, decrease frizz, and lessen the time spent blow drying. Straight hair, curly hair, chemically treated… almost everyone can benefit from a keratin treatment.

What Season Are You?

Knowing your color palette is important. This doesn’t go for just your wardrobe but also for your makeup palette and your hair color. Having the wrong tones can make you look washed out, tired, even sickly, but the right colors can make your eyes pop, your smile appear brighter, and your skin glow. Read on to find your true colors!

AUTUMN/FALL

People that land in the Autumn category are those who have darker, more olive skin tones. Their eyes vary in color from green, to hazel, to brown. Their hair color shades tend to be darker and warmer. When they highlight their hair, it should be to the Spring category so that the color doesn’t get a washed out or frosted look. Many of the darker redheads fall into this category. Darker auburn and rich chocolate colors accent this season the best. When going lighter all over with their hair color, autumn people can jump to a spring category. Gold jewelry look best on Autumns.

Warm Autumn

Somewhat tawny, lower in contrast between eye, hair, and skin tone with warm yellow undertones.

Deep Autumn

features are often high in contrast and at times they can borrow from deep winter. Their colors are slightly less warm and are the most pigmented of the autumns.

Soft Autumn

The most neutral of the autumn set. They have some underlying cool tones and their best colors are more muted, blended, and subtle.

NO AUTUMN should use try to use ash colors such as gray, silver, or white when going lighter with their hair. Autumns NEED WARMTH!

SPRING

People that land in the Spring category tend to have warmer skin tones and light eyes. Most natural redheads are in this category. Theses reds tend tend to be more strawberry in color or lighter shades of auburn. Golden blondes in this category don’t look “brassy” because warmer blonde is the tone that compliments their skin the best. Gold jewelry is the most flattering on this season.

Clear Spring

The highest contrast of the Springs and have noticeable clarity in their features. They commonly have very bright and striking eyes that allow them to shine in colors that might overwhelm others. They border the Winter category and can wear colors with the intensity of the cool & brilliant season.

Light Spring

May seem similar to Light Summer at first glance, but they have a subtle peachy undertone in their skin and a golden tint to their hair. What would be too weak for other categories brings out the inner glow of this category.

Warm Spring

Flows into the Autumn category. It’s a warm and intensely saturated season. Orange and yellow thrive on this category that are dreaded to the cooler complexions.

NO SPRING should use try to use ash colors such as gray, silver, or white when going lighter with their hair color. SPRINGS NEED WARMTH!

WINTER

Those that fall into the Winter category tend to have really dark hair and light skin. Eyes can be either dark or light. Winter is a category of people who, if daring enough, could go all over blonde and change their season to Summer. Winter hair color tends to be flatter and cooler than the warmth of Fall. With the light skin tone anything warm against it will tend to look “brassy”. Some African Americas land into this category as long as there isn’t a lot of warmth in their skin tone. Winter looks fantastic in bold colors. Christmas reds and greens, bright purples and black compliment the best. Silver jewelry looks best on Winter.

Clear Winters

Have the contrast typical of Winters, they also have a clarity in their features, reminiscent of Spring. They commonly have very bright and striking eyes that allow them to shine in colors that might overwhelm others.

Deep Winter

Also known as Dark Winter, is set apart by its depth. The colors are cool, strongly saturated, and relatively pure.

Cool or True Winter

Flows into the Summer category. It is the coolest of all the seasons and includes a bit of a blue undertone in each of its recommended colors.

SUMMER

Summers tend to have lighter eyes and paler skin. People that fall into the summer category tend to look best with lighter, cooler shades of blonde. This category of people look fantastic in “summer” colors such as aqua blues, anything pastel and blue based reds. Silver jewelry looks best. Summer makeup is normally cooler, frosted tones and paler lips.

Light Summers

Have an ethereal quality to their complexions. They are very low in contrast and can wear pale colors that wash out others.

Soft Summer

The warmest of the Summer seasons, it is bordering the Autumn category and has a neutral quality rather than purely cool.

Cool Summer

Has more contrast than other versions of Summer, it is flowing into the Winter category and includes shades (colors mixed with black).
