Extension options at Cobalt Blue Salon:
We start with a consultation to assess your hair type, lifestyle, and the results you’re looking for. Together, we’ll design a custom extension design just for you - and give you an idea on pricing.
Your stylist will perfectly match the extensions to your natural shade or color-treated hair for an undetectable finish.
We will custom-order your perfectly matched hair. We will also schedule a date for your installation appointment.
Extensions are applied with the best method for your hair and the look you want to achieve. Your extensions will feel light, and comfortable, while looking completely natural. Your appointment could last from 1-4 hours depending on your hair.
Once applied, we'll cut & shape your extensions so they move & blend with your natural hair. We'll personalize the cut to make sure it flawlessly works with your natural hair.
To keep your extensions looking their best, we'll walk you through how to care for your extensions at home. We'll also set maintenance appointments to move up your extensions as your hair grows.
Professional hair extensions are high-quality, salon-applied enhancements that add length, thickness, or both to your natural hair. Unlike clip-ins you might buy online, professional extensions are color-matched, expertly blended, and applied with precise techniques so they look completely natural. They can be customized for subtle volume or dramatic transformations, depending on your goals.=*
The longevity of extensions depends on the method chosen and how well you care for them at home. Most professional extensions last between 6–12 weeks before they need to be adjusted or moved up as your natural hair grows. Proper at-home care will extend their life and keep them looking fresh and beautiful.
When applied and maintained extensions won’t damage your natural hair. In fact, they can help you protect your own hair by reducing how often you need to style with heat. The key is choosing the right method for your hair type and being consistent with aftercare. Our stylists prioritize the health of your natural hair above all else, so we’ll recommend an option that not only gives you the look you want but also keeps your own hair safe, healthy, and growing strong underneath.
One of the biggest advantages of human hair extensions is that they can be styled just like your natural hair. You can curl, straighten, blow-dry, braid, and even put your hair up in a ponytail or bun, depending on the method. Your stylist will give you tips on the best brushes, tools, and heat settings to use so you can style freely while protecting your investment.
Most people can wear extensions, but the best method depends on your hair’s thickness, texture, and condition. For example, tape-ins are great for fine hair, while hand-tied wefts or keratin bonds work beautifully for medium to thick hair. Even if your hair is shorter, extensions can often be applied with expert placement to create a natural look. During your consultation, your stylist will assess your hair and recommend the safest and most flattering method for your unique needs.
The time it takes to apply extensions varies depending on the method and how much hair is being added. A quick tape-in service might take just 1–2 hours, while hand-tied wefts or keratin bonds can take 3–4 hours for a full transformation. This includes application, blending, and styling so you leave the salon with a completely natural finish. Your stylist will provide a personalized time estimate during your consultation so you know exactly what to expect.
It’s always best to color your natural hair before your extensions are applied so everything blends. Some types of extensions can also be toned or colored by a professional, but since they’re human hair, they don’t always react to dye in the same way as your natural strands. To maintain the quality and longevity of your extensions, we recommend letting your stylist handle all coloring services so the final look is flawless and the hair stays healthy.
Caring for your extensions properly is the key to keeping them looking great between salon visits. You’ll want to use gentle, sulfate-free shampoos and conditioners that won’t weaken the bonds or tapes. Brush your hair daily with an extension-friendly brush to prevent tangles and always hold the roots while brushing to avoid pulling on your natural hair. When sleeping, it’s best to loosely braid or tie your hair to prevent matting. Heat styling is fine, but using a thermal protectant is a must. At your appointment, we’ll give you a personalized aftercare routine, recommend the best products, and show you exactly how to keep your extensions healthy, shiny, and beautiful for weeks to come.
All hair extension pricing is customized during your in-salon consultation. Your stylist will assess your hair type, desired length and fullness, and determine which type of extensions works best with your hair & goals. Because every set is color-matched and tailored to your individual needs, pricing will vary based on the type of hair, the amount required, and the installation technique.
You’ll receive a full quote during your consultation, along with a breakdown of maintenance expectations and guidance to help you feel confident in your investment and results.
