Making the decision to have hair extensions put in is very exciting but it is extremely important to make sure you get them done professionally, otherwise you may experience problems. In order to get the best possible results you need to be prepared to travel as there may not be a hair extension salon in your area. You need to decide on what sort of extensions you are looking for before you choose your salon.

A inexperienced stylist can make the difference between great looking extensions and nightmare hair so be very picky when it comes to choosing your salon and the stylist. Firstly, you need to check that the hair stylist is qualified to apply the type of extensions. The stylist should be a licensed cosmetologist and ideally have bags of experience in applying the type of extensions you are considering. You can ask to see a stylist’s qualifications but don’t forget about word of mouth. By asking around in the area you can find out what sort of a reputation the stylist really has and you can even take a look at her handiwork by meeting some of their clients. If this is not possible then you should ask to see a portfolio with before and after pictures so you can get an idea of what to expect.

You want to make sure that you are able to communicate well with the stylist applying your extensions, after all you are likely to be sat with them for a good couple of hours! You also want to be able to tell them exactly what you want so that the results are as good as possible. When choosing a hair extension salon or stylist you want to be made to feel like you can come to your stylist if you have any problems and that they will be happy to sort them out for you. Hair extensions require frequent maintenance checks so you want to feel comfortable coming back to the same stylist a few times.

All hair extension salons should offer a free consultation prior to have the extensions attached. This is your chance to ask as many questions as you want and find out whether extensions are for you or not. You will also be able to learn a lot from the stylist from the way they handle the consultation. Are they trying to sell you hidden extras that you don’t really need or are they friendly and honest with you about the possible problems that could incur?

Before attending your consultation, you should have already have done some homework. You should have compiled a list of reputable salons that specialise in hair extensions and go to as many consultations as you can to get an idea of where you want to take your business. You should consider what you really want to gain from hair extensions and let your stylist know this. You should also make a list of any questions you have to make sure you don’t forget anything important.

During the consultation you need to be as honest as possible. Be honest about your lifestyle and what you think will suit you. Be realistic with regards to after care and make sure you are aware that hair extensions can take some considerable extra time to maintain and style. Once you are completely happy and confident that all your questions are answered you can go ahead and book your appointment to have your hair extensions fitted.
