Things To Remember About Virginia Beach Hair Salon Extension Services

By Marjorie Vargas


Virginia Beach is one of the largest cities in the state of Virginia. Located in the southeastern corner of the state and bordering the Atlantic Ocean, the city is home to students, families, young professionals and many more. With women leading busier lives then ever, many in the city opt to save time on hairstyling by wearing extensions. There are numerous ways that extensions can be attached. So much so that a woman in the city may feel overwhelmed when trying to decide what technique is right for her. A women should take into consideration her time, money and lifestyle when making a choice. Before making an appointment at a virginia beach hair salon, educate yourself on the various extension installation techniques.

Try a sew-in weave. A hairstylist does a weave by sewing extensions wefts onto tracks or cornrows. There are some hairstylists that prefer to sew the extensions to a net or to a beaded foundation. Although commonly offered at ethnic beauty shops, sew weaves are done on a variety of textures. Beauty shops offer both partial and full-head sew-weaves.

Weft extensions are used for one common glue-in technique. A hairdresser applies glue to the weft and then attaches it to the scalp or to the locks just below the scalp. A whole head of glue extensions can be accomplished in as little as one hour. Glue extensions generally last for only one week, but if applied during colder weather a woman may be able to wear the extensions for as long as two weeks.

Micro linking, also called micro beading and micro tubing, is done by attaching individual strands of extensions to very small sections of hair with small beads or tubes. Needle-nosed pliers tightly secure the tubes or beads to the natural locks. This hairstyle takes numerous hours to finish, but gives women more versatility than a sew weave or glued extensions provides.

Opt for a braided style. Braid extensions are a popular way to add length. Synthetic and human hair extensions are used to create a variety of styles. With synthetic extensions styles like box braids, pixies and French braids can be attained. Human hair extensions are needed for micro braids and lacing.

Consider some other extension options. Taped-in extensions are a quick extension installation method. Pre-taped extensions can be purchased at a beauty or from a beauty supply store. Although taped-in extensions can be installed at home, it is very advisable to let a hairstylist install them. Other extension installation options include clip-in extensions and bonding.

Extensions are a temporary styling solution and thus have to be eventually uninstalled. This may come as quickly as after a week or after several months. To minimize the risk of damage to the natural locks, have a hairdresser uninstall them. The price to uninstall extensions is generally much less than what is charged to have them put in.

The price for extension services at a good virginia beach hair salon depends on the installation method and the skill of the hairstylist. In most cases, the customer is responsible for furnishing the extensions. Call around to several beauty shops in the city to coordinate consultations prior to booking an appointment.
