Add Temporary Color Without Dye

There are many easy ways to introduce your clients to hair extensions without committing to a full-head install. For clients who love switching up their hair color, Signature Tape-Ins can add dimensional pops of color to create seamless highlights or lowlights. It’s an effortless way to deliver added volume, length, and customizable color without the long-term commitment. Plus, hair extensions can also be professionally colored for an even more personalized, luxury look.

Add Fullness and Volume Instantly

Add fast services for when you don’t want to spend too much time in the chair. Tape-Ins deliver natural-looking and impactful transformations to clients without tools or heat. These extensions are pre-taped and adhere securely to hair, resulting in a natural look without the need for excessive maintenance.

Add Custom Length, Volume, and Color to Every Client

Clients want a look that is customized down to the last detail? Introduce them to Hybrid Wefts. They can be cut without unraveling to any size needed and feature anti-shedding technology for longer-lasting wear.

Add Treatments to Your Services to Improve Your Clients’ Hair

Another way to increase profits is by offering treatments, such as deep conditioning, keratin treatments, or scalp treatments. These services can be a great addition to any hair styling service and can help to improve the health and appearance of your clients' hair, especially after removing their extensions.

Don’t forget to teach your clients the importance of aftercare once they receive their extensions for them to get the most out of them.

Add Styling for Special Occasions

Some clients know that the daily upkeep of extensions is too much for them, but they do want the added length, volume, or color for a special event. This is when it’s a great idea to have Clip-Ins on hand. They can help clients achieve a specific look they otherwise wouldn’t have been able to achieve with their natural hair.

Final Thoughts

The fastest-growing salons are the ones that embrace client demand. Currently, clients are craving extensions. If you offer them, they will come.
