What are hair extensions?
Hair extensions are hairpieces that attach to your hair to add length, volume, and thickness. They come in different types, lengths, textures and colors to match your natural hair, or give you a fresh look by adding highlights without changing your hair color. Extensions can be made of synthetic fibers, human hair, or a combination of both.
Why would someone want hair extensions?
Hair extensions are a great way to add volume, length or texture, or experiment with a color change without chemicals. Hair extensions can also be used to cover up thinning hair or bald spots, or to add thickness and fullness to fine hair. They are also a popular choice for special occasions, such as weddings and proms.
At Salon Ziba, our expert stylists will work with you to choose the right hair extensions for your specific hair type and desired look.
What are the types of hair extensions?
At Salon Ziba, we offer a full range of hair extensions, including clip-ins, tape-ins, sew-ins, and keratin extensions.

What are Clip-In Extensions?
Clip-in extensions are wefts of hair attached to one-inch combs that can be clipped into your natural hair in sections.
Beloved for their ease, practicality, and affordability, clip-ins are the go-to hair extensions for those looking for a quick switch-up at home or in-salon.
Clip-in extensions are the most affordable option, and they’re easy to install and easy to remove. However, they offer short-term style, require daily adjustment and maintenance, and can slip out if not secured properly.
Price Range: $
What are Tape-In Extensions?
As the name suggests, tape-ins are small sections of pre-taped hair extensions, about an inch wide, that are secured throughout the hair. Unlike clip-ins, tape-ins can be left in for four to six weeks, depending on your hair texture.
Lightweight and comfortable, they are fairly easy to install, and they can last from 4 to 6 weeks. However, tape-ins are not inexpensive, and will require some attention to keep them looking fresh. In addition, they can be a challenge if you like to wear your hair up.

What are Sew-In Extensions?
For sew-in extensions, your natural hair is braided down to the scalp in cornrows. But a portion of hair is left out to cover the tracks at the top, commonly referred to as “leave-out.” Tracks of hair are then hand-sewn onto the braids, leaving most of the natural hair completely concealed. Since most of your hair is protected in the braids, sew-ins have become a go-to protective style for those looking to give their curls a break.
Best to have a professional install sew-in extensions. If it is too tight or gives discomfort, it could be a sign that the installation was not done properly.
Sew-in extensions are usually long-lasting, but it is also a great technique for adding hair to a temporary wedding style. Like any other extensions, maintenance is key! And since your natural hair is braided, you will have limited access to your natural hair once installed.

What are Keratin Bond Extensions?
Keratin Bond extensions are small strands of hair that are fused and fastened to your hair just below the root. Keratin is a naturally occurring protein in the hair, making it one of the safer bonded extension methods. Keratin bonds can last from two to six months.
There are many advantages of Keratin Bond extensions. It is a go-to for most professionals today. Keratin bond extensions can be customized to fit the individual needs of the hair. They are also a great option for those looking to experiment with color or texture, like perm, without the high-commitment or risk that comes with dying, bleaching or chemical texture treatment.
While Keratin Bond extensions can be expensive, you can keep them for up to 6 months with proper care and treatment.

What are Microlinks, or Beaded Extensions?
Microlinks are a cluster of individual strands connected to tiny sections of the natural hair by a bead. The bead is then clamped shut to secure the extension. Each bundle contains 200 to 300 individual strands, and most installs require two or three bundles depending on the density of the hair and desired look.
While we offer this option at Salon Ziba, we find that most clients choose the Keratin Bond extension, as the maintenance and cost is about the same.
Price Range: $$$
Can men wear hair extensions?
Yes, men can wear extensions! Extensions are not limited by gender and can be used by anyone looking to add length, volume, or a different style to their hair. Men might choose extensions for various reasons, such as:
