Frequently Asked Questions


  • How long do tape-in extensions typically last?

    Tape-in extensions generally last 6–8 weeks before needing repositioning. With proper care, the same extensions can be reused for several applications, maintaining their natural blend and smoothness.

  • Can I achieve pastel or vivid colors without damaging my hair?

    Yes, with professional lighting techniques and quality pigments, we minimize damage while achieving bright, even tones. Regular deep-conditioning treatments help maintain vibrancy and health.

  • How often should I touch up my blonding or balayage?

    Every 8–12 weeks is ideal, depending on your hair’s growth and desired tone. Using color-safe shampoo and UV protection extends your color’s life and shine.

  • Does keratin straightening permanently alter hair texture?

    No. Keratin smooths and relaxes the hair temporarily, lasting about 3–5 months. Your natural texture gradually returns as the treatment fades.
