First Off, Can You Even Color Hair Extensions?


Luckily, hair experts have crafted beautiful techniques for coloring hair extensions. Whether coloring your extensions beforehand or adding in final touches while you are at the salon, our extensions can be colored. 

Now. With that being said. Our extension specialists only order hair they know is reliable. Therefore, please consult with us before assuming we can create your final look. Some brands of hair may not uphold correctly, causing extension hair to melt, or the whole strand could change colors into a non-desirable shade. This is due to poor quality of hair, or even using synthetic/plastic hair stands rather than high-quality human hair.



So, here’s a little bit more to know about coloring hair extensions:

  1. Type of Extensions: The ability to color extensions depends largely on their type. Human hair extensions generally take color better than synthetic ones. If you’re aiming for a specific shade, human hair extensions are usually the best option.

  2. Quality Matters: Higher-quality extensions are more likely to hold color well. We use only the finest extensions to ensure your color transformation is as vibrant and lasting as possible. We have an array of extension samples in different colors, textures, and lengths. So during your consultation, you will be able to feel the difference in hair strands. 

  3. Consult a Professional: Coloring extensions is a delicate process, expertise ensures that your extensions will be colored evenly and beautifully. Her keen eye for color and passion for transformation guarantee that you’ll be thrilled with the results.

  2. Patch Testing: Before applying the color to all extensions, we will conduct a patch test. This step ensures the color develops as expected and prevents any unexpected reactions.
