Get answers to common questions about Extensions - Removal.
Removal time varies by extension type and quantity but usually takes 45–120 minutes. Tape and micro link removals are quicker; fused or hand-tied can take longer. We assess your hair and give an accurate estimate before starting.
When performed by trained technicians using proper solvents and techniques, removal minimizes damage. Some weak or previously stressed hair may show breakage; we recommend conditioning treatments and trimming where needed to restore healthy ends.
Consultations help us evaluate extension type, hair condition, and removal complexity, allowing accurate pricing and timing. Walk-ins may be accepted, but we recommend booking to ensure the right specialist is available.
Reuse depends on type, condition, and how they were applied. We inspect each set; many high-quality extensions can be cleaned and reinstalled, while damaged or single-use pieces must be replaced.
Arrive with dry, detangled hair and avoid heavy products or oils on the day of removal. Bring any original extension information if available. This speeds up the process and helps accurate assessment.
Timing depends on your hair’s condition. Often reapplication is possible same day if hair is healthy; otherwise we suggest restorative treatments and a waiting period of weeks to months for recovery.
