Hair Extensions
We offer a wide variety of hair extensions at Mariettas Hair Design Studio because not all options fit ALL. We like to provide extension services that are custom to your needs as a guest. It is best to book a free consultation with our master certified hair extension specialist to determine which method will be best for you based on your hair type, level of activity, and overall desired outcome.
Keratin Tips
These extensions are installed using a heating element which safely melts the keratin tips onto your own hair. This Keratin Tip is partially made of the same naturally occurring protein found in your hair. This extension is a great option for lower maintenance, clients not wanting to deal with multiple push up appointments. Also, a great option for any hair type ranging from thin to thick.
Individual Tips (Beaded)
I-Tip extensions are installed with a strand-by-strand application, without using heat or glue, this is an especially great application for those with thinning hair around their hairline. Also, great for clients wanting to braid and put their hair up without any visibility issues.
Handtied Wefts/Volume Wefts
We offer four types of wefts based on clients density and lifestyle. Volume Wefts hair extensions are ideal for coarse, curly or thicker hair. No tape, glue or heat needed for this volume-enhancing look. Sew-in Wefts are put in hair using a looping tool, beads, a micro-beaded threader, a spool of nylon-based thread and a curved sewing needle. Installed by choice of method of beads or braids to create a secure base. Handtied and flex wefts are used on our more fine haired clients for best looking results.
Tape in
The Tape in hair extensions we offer are made up of a unique polyurethane adhesive tape. Clients with extremely thin hair, especially around the temples and side of the head, may require a single panel applied with single-sided take. These extensions are great for our clients with a more relaxed lifestyle and for our medium to thinner haired clients.

Aftercare
Hair Extension Aftercare:
- Wash with sulfate free shampoo and conditioner, avoid excess tugging and pulling to avoid unnecessary stress on the extensions
- Brush your hair gently a few times a day to prevent tangles. Start from the ends and work your way up to the roots. Holding the roots will minimize tension on the bonds
- Avoid excess heat on the extensions, always applying a heat protectant and using hot tools on a low setting
- Avoid tight hairstyles that pull or put excess tension on extensions
- Braid or loosely tie your hair before bed to prevent tangling and friction. A bonnet or satin scarf is always recommended. Never go to bed with wet extensions.
- Chlorine and Saltwater can damage the hair, so shampoo & condition your extensions thoroughly after swimming.
- Schedule appointments with your stylist every 4-8 weeks to maintain the integrity of your extensions, but more importantly your hair.
