Unlocking the True Beauty of Luxury Extensions

Our lovely, loyal extension clients have different reasons for getting extensions. Some people just like them and love the way it makes them feel, while others experience deeper benefits such as blending thinning areas, or adding fullness and manageability to their delicate strands. For the latter, we have a huge window of opportunity to make the most exclusive, curated experience just for them. Let’s make the most out of this chance to build a lifelong relationship with a client like this.

Having a thorough consultation to develop a complete understanding of their concerns, goals, and expectations will set you up for long term success. Don’t skip this part, and don’t rush through it. Connecting through meaningful communication is not only necessary to “be on the same page” but will likely contribute to a long-lasting client relationship.

Consultation Tips:

• Ask the right questions about how they feel about their hair; what they like and don’t like about their hair

• Ask them to have photos (Pinterest, Google) as inspiration for their hair goal

• Inform them of maintenance responsibilities and make sure they understand what is necessary to keep their hair looking its best and that they’re willing to do what it takes 

• Walk them through home care; washing their hair, using the right products, styling their hair extensions

Multi-method Extension Installation

While this concept isn’t brand new, it’s still worth diving into. Like with anything, as time goes on, we learn more and improve our methods. This concept is worth shouting from the rooftops because of what a gamechanger it is. This can take a client from having an average, unremarkable experience to booking all of their hair appointments with you for the rest of their life! Sounds dramatic, but it’s very true.

While wefts give fullness and great coverage, they can face the challenge of blending into the front areas of the head. Most people have finer, thinner, shorter hair around their face and even 1-2 inches back from the hairline. This can be a difficult area to create a cohesive look when visually connecting the front to the back in terms of fullness and density. Enter K-Tips. You can create your own tiny k-tips which can fill in the front areas giving that natural blended look.

Creating Custom K-Tips For Expert Installation

Learning how to create your own custom k-tips could be the missing link you’ve been looking for. The ‘secret sauce’ to finishing your extension looks with just the right touch of perfection!

The magic of k-tips helps you personalize your clients’ hair extensions to their exact needs. Things like finer hair density around the face can be difficult to blend with your extensions - not anymore! You can create your own custom k-tips allowing you to create them as small and fine as needed to create a natural blend.

Enhanced Colour Options for Your Extensions

Luxury extensions have come a long way! The colour matching is exceptional these days. There’s just about every possible shade, or combination shade (with highlights), or shadow rooted option that you could think of. The shades are everything from warm and rich to muted, and soft natural looking tones. However, your ability to take it to the next level is a real game changer. You can enhance your existing extensions with pops of another colour. Maybe your clients’ extensions are still in great shape and they don’t want to order new hair just yet. You can add highlights with custom k-tips for a refreshed look.
