Tape-in
- How it goes in
- Thin strips of hair with adhesive, placed in pairs above and below a fine section of your hair. They lie flat.
- Install appointment
- About 2 hr
- Upkeep
- The tapes are lifted and placed again closer to the root.
What hair do we use?
We work with 100% human hair. Because it is human hair, you wash and style it much like your own.
Before ordering, Lina matches the shade, texture and length to your hair with you. Whether it can be colored, lightened or used with a flat iron or curling iron depends on the hair, and Lina confirms it at your consultation.
Tape-in, sew-in or keratin bond: which one fits you?
There are a few ways to put in extensions. The right one for you depends on your hair, your routine and how much upkeep you want. At the consultation Lina looks at your hair and recommends a method.
Sew-in
- How it goes in
- A weft of hair sewn onto a base that Lina makes close to your scalp.
- Install appointment
- About 3 hr
- Upkeep
- The base is checked and tightened.
Keratin bond
- How it goes in
- Small strands attached one at a time to your hair with a keratin tip that is sealed with heat.
- Install appointment
- About 4 hr
- Upkeep
- Lina checks the bonds and tells you when to come back.
Times are approximate. Lina confirms yours based on your hair and the length you choose.
Keratin bond extensions are not the same as a keratin smoothing treatment. Here the keratin only attaches each strand to your hair.
How it works, step by step
-
Consultation
About 30 min. We talk about the look you want, Lina checks your hair, and together we choose the method, color and length. You leave with the full price.
-
We order your hair
Lina orders it in the shade and length you picked together.
-
Installation
When your hair arrives, Lina calls or texts you to set the date. This appointment is not booked online. It takes several hours; the methods table shows the approximate time for each.
-
Move-ups
Roughly every 6 to 8 weeks you come back for upkeep.
-
Removal
When you are ready to take them out, we remove them slowly, with care for your natural hair.
Installation is a long appointment. If you need to change or cancel it, please give us 48 hours. See our appointment policies
How to prepare and what to bring
For the consultation
- Photos of the look you like: length, volume and color.
- If you wear extensions now or have worn them before, tell us the method and how it went.
- Come with your hair down and dry so Lina can see your real shade and texture.
For the installation
- Come with your hair washed and dry.
- It is a long appointment, so bring something to drink or something to read.
- If you have questions about your scalp, we'll talk them through in person.
Home care, move-ups and removal
Lina shows you how to wash, detangle and sleep with your extensions for the method you chose.
Keeping up with your move-ups helps look after your natural hair. And when you want them out, skip the DIY: removal with Lina is done slowly, with the right products for each method.
Already wearing extensions from another salon? Text us before asking for upkeep or removal, and tell us the method and how long you have had them.

Frequently asked questions
Don't see your question? Call or text us.
How long do extensions last?
It depends on the method, your hair and how you care for them. At the consultation Lina walks you through what to expect with the method you choose.
Can I book the installation online?
No. We start with the consultation, order your hair and then set the installation date with you. To book the consultation, call or text us.
How much do they cost?
Price on consultation. The price depends on the method, the length and how much hair you need. Lina gives you the full price at the consultation, before ordering your hair, and there are no extra booking fees.
Do extensions damage your hair?
Every method puts some weight and tension on your hair. That is why Lina checks your hair before recommending a method, explains how to care for it, and takes her time with removal. Keeping up with your move-ups helps too.
Can I bring my own hair?
Tell Lina at your consultation and she will let you know if she can work with that hair.
Can you maintain extensions put in at another salon?
Text us first with the method and how long you have had them, and we will tell you if we can help.
