Hair Extensions in Fairborn, Ohio
You’ve wanted longer hair for years. You’ve tried every growth serum on the market.
At AltaRd Salon in Fairborn, hair extensions are one of our core specialties. Not a side service we added to the menu because it’s trendy. Our stylists are certified extension technicians who do installs and maintenance every single week. We work with clients from across the Dayton area, Wright-Patterson AFB, Beavercreek, Xenia, and Yellow Springs who want length, volume, or both.
Hand-tied Extensions
The wefts are thin, light, and lay completely flat against your head. You can’t feel a bulky track. You can’t see a thick row under your hair. It just looks like your hair grew overnight.
Here’s how it works. Your stylist sews a thin beaded row close to your scalp. Then she attaches a hand-sewn weft of hair to that row. The weft is made by hand, not by machine, which is why it’s so thin and flexible.
Integrated Mesh Extensions
With an integrated mesh, your natural hair gets pulled through a thin mesh strip. The extension hair attaches to that mesh, so your real hair and the new hair blend right at the root. The weight of the extensions is distributed across the entire mesh rather than hanging from individual beads or bonds.
How Much Do Extensions Cost in Fairborn?
Every client gets a personalized quote at their consultation. Cost depends on how many rows you need, what length you’re going for, and the type of extension hair we use. The hair alone is an investment of $1,000 or more. Add in installation, and you’re looking at a significant number.
We sit down, look at your hair, talk about what you want, and give you a number. If it works for your budget, we’ll book your install.
Common Questions about Hair Extensions
Can people see the extensions when my hair is up?
No. We leave enough of your natural hair around the perimeter to cover every attachment point. Ponytails, buns, and half-up styles all look natural.
Do extensions work on short hair?
It depends on how short. Your hair generally needs to be at least chin length for us to safely attach extensions without them showing. Your stylist will evaluate your length at the consultation.
Can I color my hair with extensions in?
Root touch-ups and toning are fine. We do not recommend box dye or bleaching with extensions installed. Talk to your stylist about any color changes before your next appointment.
How long does the extension hair last?
With proper care, the hair itself lasts 6 to 12 months. You’ll need move-up appointments every 6 to 8 weeks during that time to keep everything healthy and in place.
What if I want to take them out?
Your stylist can remove extensions at any appointment. We check your natural hair after removal and recommend any treatments needed to get it back to full strength.
