Why choose us?

There are alot of options if you are looking to get started with Extensions! So what is it exactly that sets us apart?

Wearing Extensions should always remain your choice and never become a necessity.

All too often we meet clients who haved crossed over that line because of damage done to their natural hair and scalp from long term extension wear without the natural hair being looked after.

The health of your natural hair is our priority which means….

1. Your natural hair will be looked after meticulously. A trim on your natural hair to keep your ends from splitting and thinning, plus a thorough examination of scalp health, is part of our regular extension maintenance services.
2. We will tell you ‘No’ if we have any concern about your natural hair becoming damaged. That may not sound very nice but there are cases where your desired look and method choice cannot be safely provided.  If that’s the case we will absolutely tell you

Wearing Extensions should always be a choice!! If that’s not the case for you right now, please get in touch! We’ll work with you to create a plan to get your natural hair back on track!

How much will it Cost?

Pricing Factors

This information is based on full head installations.

Length of Natural Hair

Generally the greater the distance between your current length and your desired length, the more hair you will need to make an undetectable blend.

Density of Natural Hair

For a flawless look you will need enough extension hair to match (at minimum) or exceed the density of your natural hair. How far you need to exceed it will depend entirely on your desired look. Generally, the thicker your natural hair is the higher the total weight of extension hair you will need for your install.

Extension Type

Although you buy the finished product, the cost of each type of extension is determined by the quality of the hair, the time/labor involved in making it and the colour.  Nanos, Hand-tied Wefts and Seamless Tape-Ins are ALL handmade products and therefore are more expensive than machine made products such as machine wefts and classic tape-ins.

Desired Look

And this is what everything hinges on! If you are considering extensions it’s safe to assume the majority are looking for long and full hair, not to mention the preferred hair colour you are trying to create! Each client is unique, making each installation (and what’s required for it) very different.

You can find itemized pricing with each Extension type below!

Extension Types Available

Nano Extensions

Nano Extensions feature the smallest attachment point on the market! They are amazing for fine and medium hair types both in adding length and fullness.  Nanos are also amazing for adding a pop of no commitment hair colour!

Longevity

Nano Extensions can be installed, removed and installed again for the lifetime of the hair!

Installation and Maintenance

A full head of Nanos takes approximatley 2hrs to install, cut to blend and style.

Maintenance will be a maximum of every 8 weeks (the timing depends on your hair type!) where each nano will be removed, the natural hair combed out and reinstalled with a new bead. This process generally takes 1.5 – 2hrs to complete.

Hair Cost

16″ Lengths – $450.00 (Cost of 100g of hair which is the minimum weight for a full head installation)

20″ Lengths – $520.00 (Cost of 100g of hair which is the minimum weight for a full head installation)

 24″ Lengths – $680.00 (Cost of 120g of hair which is the minimum weight for a full head installation for this length)

Service Cost

Installation –  For the minimum weights above, installation ranges from $188-$235

Maintenance – For the minimum weights above, maintenance ranges from $219-$250+

Please note: If there is tangling/matting from improper home care, maintenance cost may increase due to the additional time spent detangling. This is absolutely avoidable with proper home care 😉

Hand-tied Weft Extensions

 Hand-tied Weft Extensions are hands down the most popular extension type right now!  As opposed to a strand by strand application like Nanos, a hand-tied weft is like a veil of hair that wraps from one side of the head to the other. These veils can be stacked and layered to create whatever look you desire. Hand-tied wefts can be installed a multitude of different ways but our favourite method is the Dòchas Hidden Bead Method that conceals all the attachment points and leaves you with nothing but seamless, undetectable hair extensions. Great for all hair types, this is our go to for adding maximum fullness and length where a completely undetectable method is desired.

Longevity

Hand-tied Weft Extensions can be installed, removed and installed again for the lifetime of the hair!

Installation and Maintenance

Installed in either 2 or 3 rows in a Hidden Bead Method. Installation ranges from 2 – 3 hrs.

Maintenance occurs a maximum of  8 weeks after installation (the timing depends on your hair type!). Our Method allows for a ‘Bump Up’ where we are able to slide the grown out wefts back up to the scalp and resecure without any additional sewing! Bump Up appointments take anywhere from 30-60 minutes and include Styling.

After approximatley another 8 weeks the wefts will be removed completely and reinstalled.

Hair Cost

16″ Lengths – $900.00 (Cost of 120g of hair which is the minimum weight for a full head installation)

20″ Lengths – $960.00 (Cost of 120g of hair which is the minimum weight for a full head installation for this length)

 24″ Lengths – $1,365.00 (Cost of 140g of hair which is the minimum weight for a full head installation for this length)

Service Cost

Installation –  This is a completely seamless method.  No visible beads from the top or bottom, the most undectable install we offer! For the minimum weights above the most common install is done in 2 rows for $250.

Maintenance – Bump Up: 2 rows $195  After one bump up the wefts will be removed and reinstalled at the regular install price. 

Please note: If there is tangling/matting from improper home care, maintenance cost may increase due to the additional time spent detangling. This is absolutely avoidable with proper home care 😉

Seamless Tape-In Extensions

Tape-In Extensions are another great option. Although we can special order Regular Tape-Ins for full head installations on request, our favourite way to use Tape-Ins is for fullness and/or correction work.  Tradtional tape-in extensions have a flat tab at the top of the extension where the tape is attached, making them far easier to spot at the scalp. Our in stock tape-ins are Seamless, which means there is NO visable tab at the top. All you see is hair that looks exactly like your natural hair at the scalp. This is a great feature for fine haired clients whose hair density would leave traditional tape-ins easily visable.  

Longevity

Tape-In Extensions can be installed, removed, retaped and reinstalled again for the lifetime of the hair!

Installation and Maintenance

Installation is done by laying the tape-in on top of the hair, just down from the scalp. The extension attaches to a fine section of hair, is then flipped up and secured by either another tape-in OR with a single sided piece of tape. The exact installation is dependant on your hair type and your end goal. Full head installation, cut to blend and style takes approximatley 2 hrs.

Maintenance occurs a maximum of  8 weeks after installation (the timing depends on your hair type!). Tape-ins are removed from the hair, washed, dried and retaped before being reinstalled.

Hair Cost

We are currently offering this type of extension for fullness applications only. Tape-In Maintenance

20″ Lengths – $190 per 25 grams of hair

Service Cost

Installation – $45 for every 25 grams of hair

Maintenance – $60 for every 25 grams of hair, includes removal, retape and reinstall. 

Please note: If there is tangling/matting from improper home care, maintenance cost may increase due to the additional time spent detangling. This is absolutely avoidable with proper home care 😉

Keratin Tip Extensions

Kertain Tip Extensions are our latest addition for full head installation as well as fullness and/or corrective work.  They are most often recommended for higher risk hair types that can’t handle the weight of other traditional extension methods. Customization is one of the key benefits when using K-Tips.  As a strand by strand method, the individual bonds can be used as is, cut in half or even into quarters!  This allows maximum customization as well as the ability to place K-Tips where a lot of other types of extensions can’t be used! K-tips are also the best choice when for blending naturally short hair into much longer desired length. 

Longevity

K-Tip Extensions can be installed, removed, rebonded and reinstalled for the lifetime of the hair! As the tip must be removed before rebonding, you will loose approximately 1″ of length if you choose to reuse them.  Alternatively, new hair can be installed if you prefer to keep the full length.

Installation and Maintenance

Installation is done by melting the keratin tip of the extension onto a section of natural hair. Full head installation, cut to blend and style takes approximatley 2-4 hrs, dependant on the size of bond customization. 

Maintenance occurs 2-4 months after install, dependant upon your personal risk factors. You can elect to purchase new hair to install during your maintenance or to have your original hair rebonded. Please note there is a charge for any rebonding work completed.

Hair Cost

16″ Lengths – $125 per 25 grams of hair

20″ Lengths – $145 per 25 grams of hair

22″ Lengths – $155 per 25 grams of hair

24″ Lengths – $170 per 25 grams of hair

*Please note: We have some in stock of K-Tips. Depending on your exact needs a Special Order may be required.

Service Cost

Installation – Cost coming soon!

Maintenance – This is equal to your Installation cost, plus any charges for rebonding if reusing the hair.

Please note: If there is tangling/matting from improper home care, maintenance cost may increase due to the additional time spent detangling. This is absolutely avoidable with proper home care 😉

Brand of Hair Extensions

After years of testing we are proud to partner with Dòchas for all your extension needs!

Dòchas supplies a full range of extension types allowing us to completely customize your installation according to your hair type and lifestyle.

Longevity

Our Premium Line of Hair with excellent home care can last up to 12 months. Lighter blonde shades have a slightly shorter lifespan since just like your natural hair they have to go through additional processing. Blonde shades with excellent home care can last between 7-10 months. We absolutely have had client’s whose hair has lasted them beyond the 12 month mark thanks to their meticulous home care.

A word of caution about Extension Longevity:  There are promises made by Extension brands claiming their hair has a 1-2 year lifespan. This has definitely NOT been our experience in our years of hands on testing different brands.

The average lifespan of any premium quality hair is 7-10 months for lighter shades and 12 months for darker shades. 

Don’t forget that your home care is the #1 way to ensure you get the most out of your investment.  We’d love to promise years and years of longevity, but that’s not the reality of human hair extension products. We hope this information helps!  

Available Lengths

We offer 16, 20 and 24″ lengths.

Colour Selection

Your hair will be matched in salon, with our Dòchas Colour Swatch Ring, to find the best match. We offer solid, ombre and dimensional shades which make the possibilities endless! We also custom colour regularly to ensure the colour match to your natural hair is seamless.

Availability

Our Nano, Weft and Seamless Tape In Collections are in stock and ready for your appointment!

Why are Extensions this Expensive?

This is the #2 most common question we get asked! We agree – extensions are expensive and are a luxury service.  There’s a very, very simple explanation for why they cost so much.

Hair takes years to grow. You are paying for instant results.

If hair grows on average 1/2″ per month, that means:

16″ Lengths take 2.6 years to grow

20″ Lengths take 3.3 years to grow

24″ Lengths take 4 years to grow

Human hair is a natural resource.  There is no machine made equivalent alternative.

And finally, the old saying is true: You get what you pay for.

That’s not meant to be negative – it’s just the honest truth. If a price for human hair seems too good to be true, then some concession has been made in the quality and processing of the hair.

This can mean a drastically shorter lifespan, difficulty with excessive matting and/or tangling, difficulty styling and so much more.

We want you to have an amazing Extension experience so we offer payment plans to make purchasing your extensions as easy and flexible as you need!!
