EXTENSIONS
K- Tips
1. Small sections are used
The stylist takes a very small section of natural hair and places the K-Tip strand alongside it.
2. The keratin bond is heated
A specialized extension tool heats the keratin tip until it becomes malleable.
3. The bond is formed around the hair
The stylist molds the softened keratin around the natural hair, creating a small, secure bond.
4. The extensions move with the natural hair
Because they’re individual bonds rather than one large weft, K-Tips can give a very natural, flexible result and allow for pretty precise placement.
✨ What they’re good for
K-Tips can be particularly nice for someone who wants:
Length + fullness
A very natural, strand-by-strand appearance
More flexibility with hairstyles
Volume around the face or crown
Blending for layered or dimensional cuts
Extensions that don’t have the visible horizontal line you can sometimes get with wefts
They’re also great for creating very customized placement because you can add hair exactly where it’s needed rather than installing a whole row.
Wefts
💇♀️ How wefts work
A weft is a row of extension hair attached to a thin strip at the top. Instead of attaching hundreds of individual pieces, the stylist installs a row of hair at once.
For beaded/sewn-in wefts, the basic process is:
A horizontal section is created in the natural hair.
Small beads are placed along the section.
A weft is positioned against the beads.
The stylist uses thread and/or the bead system to secure the weft to the natural hair.
The hair is then blended and customized with the client’s haircut.
Some systems use beads and stitching, while others have different attachment methods. The exact technique depends on the weft system and the stylist’s training/ experience.
✨ Why people love wefts
They’re particularly good when someone wants a lot of hair.
You can get:
Significant volume
Length
Fullness through the mid-lengths and ends
A relatively fast installation compared with installing hundreds of individual bonds
A beautiful, seamless-looking result when properly placed and blended
They’re especially popular for clients with medium-to-thick hair who want substantial transformation.
✨ EXTENSIONS START WITH A CONSULTATION
Because your hair deserves a custom plan.
Most extension services require a consultation before your installation so we can determine the right method, color, length, and amount of hair for your natural hair and goals.
Need your extensions sooner? We’ve got options. 🤎
We carry wefts in a variety of colors for same-day installation. Some specialty colors, textures, and lengths may need to be ordered in advance.
Not sure what you need? That’s exactly what your consultation is for.

Caring for Your Extensions
Beautiful extensions require beautiful care. Your extensions are an investment, and how you treat them at home plays a huge role in how long they stay healthy, soft, and beautiful.
Brush your extensions gently and regularly using the recommended boar-bristle brush, starting at the ends and gradually working your way upward. Be especially gentle around your attachment points and never aggressively pull through tangles.
Wash your hair with the recommended Eufora shampoo and conditioner, focusing shampoo primarily on the scalp and keeping conditioner concentrated through the mid-lengths and ends. Avoid excessive product buildup around your attachment points.
Use your hydrating serum on the ends regularly to help keep the extension hair soft, smooth, and moisturized. Extensions do not receive natural oils from your scalp the way your own hair does, so the ends need extra hydration.
Before bed, gently brush your hair and secure it in a loose braid or ponytail with your scrunchie to help prevent tangling while you sleep. Never go to bed with soaking-wet extensions.
Heat styling is absolutely possible, but heat protection is essential. Excessive heat, chlorine, salt water, and improper brushing can shorten the life of your extension hair.
Most importantly, extensions require consistency. Even the highest-quality installation cannot compensate for improper home care. Taking a few extra minutes each day to care for your extensions will help protect your natural hair, preserve the quality of the extension hair, and keep your investment looking beautiful between appointments.
