HAIR EXTENSION FAQS.
What is The Studio's point of difference? What sets us apart from other hair extension salons? We are a bespoke extension salon that prioritises customisation and precision. Every hair extension client undergoes a thorough consultation before booking an installation. During this personalised session, our experienced stylists discuss your hair goals, colours, lengths, placement, and preferred extension method—whether that’s keratin bonds, nano beads, H6 Feathers, or wefts. Our unique point of difference lies in our dedication to customisation. We collaborate closely with our suppliers to create tailored sets of extensions that suit your hair type, colour, and goals perfectly. Unlike many salons, we do not colour extensions after installation in most cases. This reduces fading, saves you time in the salon, and ensures a longer-lasting result with vibrant, customised blends.
How much do hair extensions cost? Is there a full head or half head price? Every client’s hair extension journey is unique, which is why we require a 30-minute consultation to design a personalised plan tailored to your goals. During this session, we’ll discuss styles, colours, lengths, and placement to create your dream look. This session does have a service price of $20, which is fully transferable and redeemable on your hair extension installation appointment with us, if you choose not to go ahead with your hair extension journey then we do take the payment for our service time. Please note we are unable to quote over email, social media, phone call or text. And we do not respond to ‘how much for extensions?’ ‘How much for a full head?’ As a guide, our hair extensions range from $500 to $2500+ depending on the length (10" to 24"), the amount of hair required, the method of hair extension chosen and the quality grade selected. After your consultation, you’ll receive a detailed price estimate with no obligation to commit immediately. Once you’re satisfied with your plan, we require a non-refundable $200 deposit to secure your booking and ensure your hair is expertly crafted and expressed delivered to the salon within 14 days (in some cases, if your customisation is intricate then we do require extra time to create perfection)
Hair is so confusing! What hair does The Studio use? The quality of our hair extensions are varied by origins, how they are treated…and so on. Here at The Studio, we know where our hair extensions have come from, how they are chemically processed and finally, how they are then customised for you individually. Our hair extensions are made from full cuticle-intact hair, carefully aligned in the same direction for optimal quality and longevity. This means no tangling, matting, or unruly hair during the wear period, giving you smooth, natural, and long-lasting extensions. Our hair is hand-selected and ethically sourced from donors from areas of Asia, like Vietnam & China, ensuring the finest virgin hair for our clients. All our hair extensions undergo strict quality control to ensure premium standards. We avoid silicone coatings often found in lower-quality extensions, ensuring a natural look and feel throughout the lifespan of your extensions.
How long will my hair extension last? At The Studio, we believe in providing our clients with complete transparency about the hair we use and its characteristics. Generally, hair extensions start out as very dark, untreated virgin hair. When left in its natural, virgin state, this hair has an incredible lifespan as extensions—lasting up to 2 years, depending on how well it is cared for. Virgin hair remains strong and durable because it has not been exposed to the chemical processes that can affect its integrity. When virgin hair is colour-treated to create a wide range of shades, the integrity of the hair inevitably changes, just as it does with natural hair when it is lightened. The lighter the hair becomes, the shorter its lifespan as extensions. For example, taking hair from its original dark shade to a light platinum blonde requires a rigorous and intense chemical process. While we take great care during this process, it’s important to understand that the hair shaft becomes thinner as a result, making it more prone to knotting and breakage over time. For extensions that have been lightened to blonde or other lighter shades, the lifespan is naturally reduced to approximately 9 months to a year. This timeframe can vary significantly depending on how the extensions are treated and maintained at home. Proper home care is crucial in preserving the health, appearance, and longevity of the hair. At The Studio, we prioritise educating our clients about the nuances of hair extensions so they can make informed decisions about their investment. By following our expert advice on home care, you can maximise the lifespan and beauty of your hair extensions, whether they are left in their virgin state or have undergone colour processing.

NANO BEAD HAIR EXTENSIONS Our Signature Extension method at The Studio. We pride ourselves in being Adelaide's most experienced Nano Bead extension technicians. The first bespoke commercial salon in Adelaide to bring you this amazing method! This method uses tiny beads, giving a discreet, natural look with no glue or heat, allowing the extensions to last up to 3 months with proper maintenance. Nano beads are tiny aluminium beads which are lined with silicone to attach single hair extensions strands to your natural hair, the silicone lining creates a cushion type layer between the aluminium wall and the natural hair that prevents cutting through hair when installing and wearing. Nanobeads are the smallest and the most innovative way to apply hair extensions. You may have heard of Micro beads? That IS NOT what we are doing here! Nano bears are 90x smaller than a traditional micro bead. They are tiny, comfortable and almost impossible to detect even when you are wearing your hair extensions up in a ponytail. The Nanos are not damaging to the natural hair when fitted by a trained professional. They do not require heat or glue to secure them, meaning they will be kinder and gentler on the hair. When it’s time to remove or lift up, they won’t require any solutions, unlike other pre-bonded methods. Reusable? Yes! Hair Type Suitability: All Hair Types. Great for thin hair, as nano beards are so small and discreet, they are much easier to conceal even when you have particularly thin or sparse hair. Special care for this method? Easy, lazy hair extensions! So easy to maintain, just like your natural hair! Just be careful not to hold your hair straightener on the bonds as the keratin can melt into your hair. Installation & Maintenance: The Initial Installation takes our stylist from 90-120 minutes, the maintenance service is 60-90 minutes for Nanos Hair Extensions service itself. We recommend the Salon maintenance for Nanobeads Hair extensions is between 8-10 weeks, that also makes nanos is a go-to method for all our blonde/balayage ladies.
H6 FEATHER EXTENSIONS At The Studio, we are excited to offer H6 Feather Extensions, the next level in hair extension innovation. These extensions combine cutting-edge technology with unparalleled comfort and natural aesthetics, making them perfect for clients seeking a completely discreet, lightweight, and damage-minimising hair extension option. H6 Feather Extensions truly redefine the extension experience. What makes H6 Feather Extensions special is their unique hand-knitted design, where each extension is meticulously crafted to ensure the interface is completely covered by hair. This construction makes the bonds 100% invisible, offering a seamless and natural appearance. The feather-light design ensures the extensions feel natural and weightless, reducing strain on your natural hair. Additionally, the H6 technology is specifically crafted to minimise damage to your natural hair, making it a healthier option for long-term wear compared to traditional extensions. Reusable? Yes! Who are H6 Feather Extensions suitable for? H6 Feather Extensions are suitable for all hair types, including thin or fragile hair, thanks to their lightweight and discreet design. Their hand-woven technology ensures they blend seamlessly, making them ideal for anyone seeking the most natural-looking extensions. Special care for this method? Easy, lazy hair extensions! So easy to maintain, just like your natural hair! Just follow the aftercare instructions that you will be provided and you’ll be just fine! Installation & Maintenance: The Initial Installation takes our stylist from 90-120 minutes, the maintenance service is also 90-180 minutes for maintenance. We do need to re-thread the unique hand-knitted design with its each individual silicone lined bead prior to reinstallation, and this itself can take a good 30 minutes+ depending on how many extensions that you have… but it is worth the wait for the invisible install! So in that time, you can have a coffee, read a book, peruse our retail gift store or even go for a lovely stroll through the surrounding streets of heritage Port Adelaide. We recommend the Salon maintenance for H6 Feather Hair extensions is between 8-10 weeks, that also makes these extensions a go-to method for all our blonde/balayage ladies.
KERATIN FUSION BONDS Keratin bonds or Fusions Hair Extensions are the one of the oldest, more traditional Hair extensions methods. The individual strands of hair extensions are attached to the natural hair by using heat (hot fusion) to melt the pre-bonded keratin and fuse to your natural hair. Keratin Bonds Hair Extensions offer wearers the longest, most permanent type of extensions in the market: many client wear this type of extensions for 3-4 months. With well-trained and experienced Stylists, keratin bonds can be completely customised in salon. From single colour strands to multiple colour strands, our Stylists at The Studio can create the look you desire without colouring your own hair. Keratin Bonds Extensions are a fantastic method for clients wanting longer wear in-between salon maintenance and a bonus is the keratin will also encourage your own hair to grow! Reusable? Yes, unlike most salons, at The Studio we are able to rebond your keratin extensions. You are able to reuse the hair up to 3-4 times. Hair Type Suitability: All Hair Types Special care for this method? We recommend you use the recommended hair care products for the entire duration of wear as they have been specially formulated to keep the keratin bonds firm and in optimal condition. Products that contain parabens, sulphates, silicone, alcohol and other ingredients often act as a solvent, greatly reducing the lifespan of the keratin fused bonds and causing them to deteriorate and break down. Installation & Maintenance: The Initial Keratin Bonds Hair Extensions installation takes up to 3-4 hours for a full head (depend on how much hair you need) and the maintenance service will take you 2 appointments: removal appointment is about an hour and you will come back from the next day after your strands will be re-bonded with fresh keratin. We understand there are circumstances or clients get to us after long drive, we are able to offer removal and re-apply in 1 setting but it will take around 6-7 hours of your time and our Stylist’s. Give us a call before booking your Keratin bonds maintenance you would like to get them done in one go. Many clients will choose the Keratin bonds/Fusions hair extensions for the longer wear duration, therefore, we would recommend this service to clients with the least frequent colour service, or a colour service that won't interfere with the bonds such as a scalp bleach.
WEFT HAIR EXTENSIONS Weft hair extensions are a client favourite because they do not require glue, heat to apply and are one of the most hair friendly extensions in the market. Wefts are a great type of extension for instant volume and length. At The Studio, we use flat-track beaded sew-in method in which our Stylists use nylon-polyester threads to sew the weft hair to the track of bead. We also could offer hybrid technique with wefts, which means we add some individuals strands (nanos or keratin bonds) to finer areas that may be exposed in order to get you the seamless blend without any limitations of the method. Reusable? Yes Hair Type Suitability: Wefts are more suitable for medium and thick hair clients. Special care for this method? We recommend that you blow dry your hair immediately after you wash your hair and avoid applying conditioner into you roots. You should ensure you completely dry between each row of weft to ensure the health of your scalp Installation & Maintenance: The Initial Weft Hair Extensions Installation takes 60-120 minutes and the maintenance is 60-120 minutes, depending on how many rows or hair you need. The Salon maintenance for your weft extensions is 6-8 weeks
V-LIGHT HAIR EXTENSIONS V-Light Hair Extensions are a revolutionary hair enhancement technique that offers two ways to install: you can either directly glue loose strands with V-Light glue or opt for the bonding method using pre-taped hair and the same adhesive. These extensions are weightless and have a natural feel, seamlessly blending with your own hair to give you an undetectable, flawless finish. What Makes V-Light Stand Out? V-Light's special glue ensures a strong and enduring bond and has the ability to cure with light, enhancing its durability. V-Light hair extensions can be strategically placed almost anywhere on your head, including the sides, top, or to cover tricky bald spots. Depending on how fast your hair grows, plan for a replacement every 2-8 weeks. This system is ideal for those craving voluminous and picture-perfect hair transformations. What We Personally think V-Light Extensions Are Good For? Special Occasions and severe cases of thinning where no other method can be installed. We would not recommend this method as a permanent solution as the hair will shed on you natural hair cycle.. meaning, hair starts shedding from day 1! It is fantastic to create thickness and fill out sparse areas for an event so if you have a special occasion coming up then this is a wonderful option for you! Reusability Non-Reusable When applying loose hair with V-Light glue. Hair Type Suitability V-Light hair extensions are suitable for all hair types, making them a versatile choice for anyone looking to enhance their hair's volume and length. Special Care for This Method In contrast to certain hair extension techniques that might entail more invasive procedures, V-Light Hair Extensions are less prone to causing damage to natural hair. This makes them a suitable choice for individuals who prioritise maintaining their hair's health. Regular maintenance and proper care can further reduce the risk of damage. Installation & Maintenance Initial Installation: Takes 60-120 minutes. Maintenance: Requires 60-120 minutes, depending on the number of rows or hair you need. Shedding Interval: Extensions typically shed between 2-8 weeks, similar to eyelash extensions, and may need refilling every 2 weeks. Safety The V-Light system is tested and qualified to be safe. Users must read and follow all operating and safety instructions. It is not recommended for people who are allergic to UV light or glue. The V-Light device includes a protection shield to prevent harm to the eyes. Questions for the Hair Extensions Styling Straightening and Curling: V-Light hair extensions are made from real human hair and can be curled and straightened once installed Dyeing or Bleaching: It is not recommended to colour nor bleach your extensions as they have already been chemically treated. Professional assistance is recommended for dyeing. Washing You can wash V-Light hair extensions like your own hair using shampoo and conditioner. Since the hair is not attached to the scalp, it does not get greasy as quickly. It's recommended to apply hair treatment every few weeks. Blow-Drying The extensions can be blow-dried on a low setting, but it's best to let them dry naturally to preserve their quality. Tangling Tangling can occur due to dryness, oil, dirt build up, or lack of daily combing. To prevent tangling, wash and condition your hair extensions at least once a week, comb them daily with a wide-tooth comb, and use hydrating drops. Versatility and Special Occasions V-Light hair extensions are great for special occasions and for people with very thin hair around their face frame and crown. They are also a great option for adding temporary pops of colour without the need for lighteners or hair dyes.
TAPE HAIR EXTENSIONS Tapes were a wonderful method of extensions in their day. At the Studio, we don't recommend this method as we believe there are much more advanced methods of extensions available. In saying this, even though we choose to not sell/ provide a range of Tape Hair Extensions line/brand, Tape is still a very popular method of hair extensions and because of its popularity we do still provide the service of application and maintenance. Our Stylists are well trained with Tape Method, you are welcome to BYO your Tape hair. Reusable? Yes .... after a while it will get really sticky and need replacing. Hair Type Suitability: Due to its visibility, it is not suitable for thin/fine/sparse hair types Special care for this method? Avoid washing your hair every day. Washing your hair every day can strip your hair of the natural oils that give it its shine and texture. Washing every day with hair extensions can wear down the adhesive quicker, which can shorten its lifespan. Don’t wash your hair or sweat excessively for at least 24-48 hours after getting tape-in hair extensions. For best results, wash your hair with a clarifying shampoo the day of your appointment. Installation & Maintenance: The Initial Tape Extensions Installation takes 45-60 minutes. We recommend the maintenance service for Tape is 6-8 weeks, the re-installation including removal takes 90-120 minutes in 1 setting.
