Q: Can I heat style my Amplify Tape-In Extensions?
A: Yes, you can use hot tools on your extensions, but always use a heat protectant, avoid placing heat directly on the tape area, and keep irons on a moderate setting to protect the hair’s integrity.

Q: Can I color or tone my Amplify Tape-In Extensions?
A: Your stylist can often tone or slightly deepen extensions, but lightning and aggressive chemical services are not recommended. The best results come from choosing the correct shades during your consultation.

Q: How should I wash my hair with Amplify Tape-In Extensions?
A: Use sulfate-free, extension-safe shampoo and conditioner, avoid scrubbing directly on the tape area, and gently squeeze water through the lengths. Always support your roots with your other hand while washing and brushing.

Q: How do I brush and detangle my extensions?
A: Use a soft, extension-safe brush or wide-tooth comb, start from the ends and work your way up, and support the root with your hand to avoid pulling on the tape.

Q: Can I use oils or masks with Amplify Tape-In Extensions?
A: You can apply lightweight oils and masks on the mid-lengths and ends only. Avoid applying any oily or creamy products directly on or near the tape tabs, as this can cause slipping.

A: Most guests return every 6–8 weeks for a removal, tape refresh, and reinstallation. Your exact schedule depends on your hair growth, oil production, and home care.

Q: How long does the initial installation take?

Q: Can I swim with Amplify Tape-In Extensions?
A: Yes, but it’s important to protect them: braid your hair before swimming, avoid submerging in chlorinated or salt water for long periods, rinse thoroughly afterward, and apply a leave-in or extension-safe protectant on the mid-lengths and ends.

Q: Can I sleep with my extensions in?
A: Yes. Always brush before bed and loosely braid or secure your hair in a soft, low ponytail to minimize tangling and friction.

Q: Are Amplify 13” Tape-In Extensions good for fine or thin hair?

Q: How do I know if Amplify Tape-In Extensions are right for me?

Q: What is the investment for Amplify 13” Tape-In Extensions?
A: Pricing varies based on the number of rows used, length, color, and whether you are doing volume only or a full transformation. Your stylist will provide a personalized quote during your consultation.

 

Q: What are Halo hair extensions?
A: Halo extensions are a single weft of hair attached to a clear, adjustable wire that sits comfortably around the crown of your head, adding instant length and volume without any bonds, tapes, or clips on your natural hair.

Q: How does a Halo stay in place?
A: The Halo sits just below the occipital bone and is gently anchored by the weight of your natural hair layered over the top. Once it’s fitted correctly and blended, it feels secure and invisible.

Q: Who are Halo extensions best for?
A: Halos are great for guests who want quick, non-committal length and volume, don’t want anything attached 24/7, or have finer hair and want to avoid traditional methods like tape or sew-in rows.

Q: Will Halo extensions damage my hair?
A: Halo extensions are one of the gentlest options because they do not attach directly to your hair. When worn and removed properly, they are considered a no-tension, low-risk method.

Q: How long does it take to apply a Halo?
A: Once it is custom-fitted and cut to blend, daily application typically takes just a few minutes at home—place the Halo, adjust, and blend your natural hair over the weft.

Q: Can I wear my hair up with a Halo?
A: Halos are best for down, half-up, or soft, low styles. High ponytails or tight topknots are more limited, but your stylist can show you Halo-friendly styling options that still look polished.

Q: Can I heat style my Halo extensions?
A: Yes, if your Halo is made from 100% human hair, you can curl or straighten it with hot tools. Always use a heat protectant and keep tools on a moderate temperature to preserve the hair.

Q: Can I color or tone my Halo extensions?
A: Halos can often be toned or slightly darkened by a professional, but lightening is not recommended. It’s best to order them in the shade (or blend of shades) that most closely matches your hair.

Q: How do I care for my Halo extensions at home?
A: Store your Halo flat or on a hanger, gently brush before and after each wear, and wash only when needed—typically every 15–20 wears or when product build-up is noticeable.

Q: How do I wash my Halo extensions?
A: Remove the Halo, then gently cleanse in lukewarm water with sulfate-free shampoo, apply a hydrating conditioner from mid-lengths to ends, rinse well, and let it air dry on a towel or hanger.

Q: How long do Halo extensions last?
A: With proper care, a high-quality human hair Halo can last 6–12 months or longer, depending on how often you wear, wash, and heat style it.

Q: Can I sleep in my Halo extensions?
A: No. Halo extensions are designed to be worn during the day and removed before sleeping to prevent tangling and unnecessary friction.

Q: Can I swim with my Halo extensions?
A: It’s not recommended to swim in your Halo. Chlorine, salt water, and sunscreen can dry out and discolor the hair. If you do, it should be a rare exception with extra care afterward.

Q: How do I know what size Halo I need?
A: During a fitting, your stylist will measure and adjust the wire to your head size so it feels snug but comfortable, then customize the cut so it blends seamlessly with your natural hair.

Q: What if my Halo feels too tight or too loose?
A: The wire can be adjusted for a better fit. If it slides or feels uncomfortable, schedule a quick fitting appointment so your stylist can tweak the size.

Q: Are Halo extensions good for very thick hair?
A: Halos can work on thick hair, but sometimes additional wefts or a different method is better. Your stylist will recommend the right option after seeing your natural density and length.

Q: Are Halo extensions good for very fine or thin hair?
A: They can be a great choice because there are no bonds attached to the natural hair, but proper color matching and layering are key so the weft doesn’t show through.

Q: How much do Halo extensions cost?
A: Pricing varies based on hair length, quality, and color. Your stylist will provide a personalized quote during your consultation, which may include the Halo, custom cut, and styling lesson.

Q: Do you show me how to put my Halo in at home?
A: Yes. At your fitting appointment, your stylist will walk you through placement, blending, and styling so you feel confident putting it in and taking it out on your own.
