Hair Extensions are an incredible way to achieve length and/or fullness - and the best part is that the results are immediate! Guests with thinning hair and even short hair can benefit from extensions. Salon 131 partners with only the highest quality extension suppliers to provide our guests with the most luxurious hair on the market.
A consultation is required before booking your first appointment. During your free consultation your stylist will help you determine if extensions are right for you. They will explain the application process and proper extension maintenance. They will also provide you with a price quote. Prices vary depending on length and amount of hair desired.
To book your first extension appointment we require a non-refundable deposit equal to 100% of the cost of the hair. A haircut and style is included in the price of your first appointment.

KERATIN-TIP EXTENSIONS
Keratin Tip (K-Tip) extensions are installed using a heating element which safely melts the Keratin Tips onto your own hair. This Keratin Tip is partially made of the same naturally occurring protein found in your hair.
A silicone additive on the K-tip helps to create a protective coating for your natural hair strands. The K-tips are bonded close to the roots of the hair, your Salon 131 stylist will ensure there is enough space to allow free movement of your hair which maintains a natural layered texture and feel to your hair. Reapplication every 6-8 weeks.
EXTENSIONS FAQ
- Do extensions damage my hair?
- No, not if properly installed and cared for. We specifically chose the methods we offer because they are virtually damage free. Hair health is our #1 priority. Schedule a complimentary consultation to let us help you decide why method is best for your hair.
- Can I wear my hair up with extensions?
- For many people, the answer is yes! We offer many methods that will allow you to wear buns, braids, and other up styles. Everyone can wear their extensions in a low braid or bun. Half up styles, pig-tails, braids, and high messy buns ultimately come down to to your hair density around your hairline. We always do everything possible to give you as much freedom as your hair allows when it comes to variety in styling.
- Can I go swimming with my extensions?
- We don’t recommend investing in your hair color and diving in the ocean or pool, and we don’t recommend it for hair extensions either. Not only can it alter the color, it can cause matting or result in dissolving the bonds. Wear a braid and a hat, drink a mojito, and thank us later.
- Are extensions expensive?
- The art of hair extensions comes in many forms, and the cost depends on your desired look and outcome. The length, density, and end goal all come in to play when it comes to pricing. We offer methods from $200-$1500+. Your pricing and maintenance costs can be discussed during your complimentary consultation. Your hair is the only accessory you own that you wear every day. I probably don’t need to tell you this but… you deserve it.
- How do I wash and style my extensions?
- Just like normal! It’s real, human hair. Just take extra care to make sure you properly rinse your scalp when shampooing, and use heat protectant when styling to get the most longevity. Many people find they need to wash and style their hair less when they wear extensions, as they hold their style so well. We always say “it’s high maintenance to be low maintenance.”
- Can I let my extensions air dry?
- Yes! One of our favorite things about hair extensions is our ability to match your hair density and texture with the right application method. We’ve installed extensions on clients from fine, smooth hair to full natural curl, with a seamless blend every time. With the health of your hair always being our top priority, we love using extensions as a way to help our guests embrace their natural texture, resulting in less heat styling and ultimately healing and growing your own natural hair.
- How often do I come back for maintenance?
- That totally depends on your hair! The average maintenance cycle is between 4-12 weeks, depending on your method and how fast your hair grows. Usually, it lines up with your color service! Maintenance appointments for extension services add an average of 1.5 hours to your regular hair appointment,
