All of our hair extensions are top quality human hair. They can be colored and styled just like your natural hair. With the exception of halo extensions, these extensions are designed for long term wear. As long as you follow our home care instructions, you will get several months of enjoyment out of each set. Each type and brand has their differences and there is a lot of lingo, so here is an easy guide to the types of hair extensions you can get at Blondie's.
Hand-Tied Weft Extensions
When it comes to the various types of hair extensions, we tend to favor hand tied weft extensions. We find them to be the most comfortable hair extensions for our clients, and the most realistic looking. We have a lot of experience applying hand tied extensions. We use a waterfall beaded row method, which keeps the bonds hidden from detection. But not everyone can wear hand tied extensions. Depending on their hair type and level of commitment to the required upkeep, some women are a better match for tape ins, keratin bonds or halo extensions. Don't worry, we'll help you decide.
For our hand tied extensions, we use wefts by BELLAMI Professional. Crafted with the highest quality 100% Remy human hair, these lightweight veils are hand-knotted with fine thread and designed to lay close to the scalp for maximum comfort and wearability. Our extensions stylist know how to work with this line and have perfected the method for stacking wefts for extra volume, blending different shades to add dimension, or even create a custom hair color. Stylists love hand tied wefts because they give them lots of flexibility to showcase their skills.

Keratin bond extensions are a strand by strand method and are applied using a heat tool to fuse each keratin tip to a section your natural hair. A silicone coating on the keratin bond help protect your hair. We use Bellami K Tips, made of high quality human hair.

Tape In Hair Extensions
Tape in are a popular hair extensions service because they apply very efficiently which makes them one of the most affordable types of hair extensions. Wefts of hair are fitted with strips of medical grade adhesive and attaches by sandwiching sections of your natural hair. Tape in extensions are often a good fit for clients with thin hair because they are lightweight. We can further customize the application and use single wefts to create a realistic look especially around the hairline.

Halo Couture Extensions
For an instant hair fix, why not try halo extensions? These come in a variety of lengths and colors and they apply in less than a minute. The extensions are actually a single hair piece attached to thin, invisible nylon wire which gently slips around your head without any clips, tapes or keratin. These are ideal for a fun transformation as well as for adding volume and length if you have thin or fine hair.
Will Hair Extensions Ruin My Hair?
The honest answer is yes, hair extensions come with some level of risk, but that risk can be eliminated by the skills of the stylist and your compliance with at home care instructions. When hair extensions are installed and maintained as designed, you and your hair will be fine. Needless to say, it's starts with proper installation. Based on your hair type, condition and daily activities, we put in the hair extensions that are safe for YOU. So keep an open mind because we'll always have the health of your hair as our first priority. You may have your heart set on hand tied wefts, but we may steer you towards tape-ins or keratin tips. Before, during, and even after your install, we will go over how to maintain them, what to avoid, which products to use - even how to brush your hair - so that you get the most beauty, comfort, and life out of your set.
Hair Extensions Cost
"How much do your hair extensions cost?" This question haunts the DMs, so let's clarify a few things. Extensions are way too custom to give a blanket price. The cost is determined by the type of hair, the amount, and the length. If you have fine hair and want to add a some filler, your price is going to be significantly different than someone who wants to add 22" of extra volume hair to match their thick texture. This is why in person consultations are essential to a getting great set of extensions and getting an exact price for the service.
