Extensions are a great way to add volume, length, color, or even a combination of all to your own hair. There are various types of extension methods used in salons today, all having pros and cons. The Flashpoint (I-Tip) method that I offer to clients is an easy way to add volume and length without the use of any chemicals or glues.

Application: The extensions are applied using a unique cold application method that uses micro links (tubes) to bond the extension hair with the natural hair.

•    The tube is fed onto the natural hair

•    The extension is then fed into the tube along with the natural hair

•    Ensuring the hair and extension are following the natural growth pattern, the tube is then shut and secured

•    The process is completely painless and should take anywhere from 30 minutes to 4 hours to complete

Removal: The Flashpoint extensions must be removed using a special tool to open up the tubes. Once the tubes are open, I just simply slide out the extension and remove the tube. (If the hair is still in good condition you can re-apply the same hair using new tubes.)

Things you should know about the I-Tip method:

•    You must have a consultation before scheduling an appointment for the extensions to get proper care  instructions and determine color, length, texture, and sectioning pattern.

•    The hair we use is 100% human hair and can be treated as such.

•    The extensions can last about 3 months before maintenance is required. The hair can last about 6 months before new hair is required. (This is just an estimation, hair growth is different for everyone and timing will vary)

•    The hair will feel a bit tight the first 2 to 3 days and then become very comfortable and even un-noticable.

•    Your extension appointment must also include a haircut to blend natural hair to the extensions.
