Get answers to common questions about Extension Hand-Tied Removal.
Appointments typically last 45–90 minutes depending on attachment count, matting, and hair texture. We prioritize gentle, methodical removal, so times vary; your stylist will assess and give a specific estimate when you arrive or during booking.
When performed by trained stylists, hand-tied removal is designed to be gentle and minimize damage. We use careful detangling and proper tools; any preexisting breakage is assessed and we recommend treatments to restore health post-removal.
Lightly washed hair without heavy styling products is preferred. Clean hair allows easier inspection and gentler removal. Avoid deep conditioning the day of service; follow stylist instructions when booking if specific prep is needed for your extension type.
Pricing varies by number of wefts, condition of extensions, and time required. We provide transparent estimates after consultation; removal fees often cover detangling, removal labor, and evaluation. Contact us or book a consult for an accurate quote.
Often possible, but depends on scalp condition, hair integrity, and appointment availability. Your stylist will assess and may recommend a short recovery or strengthening treatment before reapplication to ensure optimal bond and long-term hair health.
Follow recommended aftercare: gentle sulfate-free shampoo, deep conditioning treatments, and avoid heat styling for a few weeks. Use recommended leave-ins and regular trims; book a follow-up if you notice excessive shedding, breakage, or scalp irritation.
