Hair Extensions
Which extensions are best for you?
Since 2013, I have been certified in four different extension methods with DreamCatchers, Hotheads, and Bellami. At Hintz of Color, I ONLY offer tape in and microlink sew-in extensions. Please read the following information to see what type of extension method is right for you. Scheduling a complimentary consultation will help us to determine which method and brand needed for your service. You can purchase any brand of hair listed on my PRODUCTS page or any other professional extension brand. If you want to use a different brand not listed on my page don't hesitate to ask if I can purchase them for you.

Tape-In extensions unique polyurethane adhesive tape was developed and tested over 3 years. Our goal was to create a secure and comfortable weft while worn by the guest, as well as easy removal and reapplication for the stylist.
To apply, remove the backing from the weft exposing the polyurethane and lay a thin veil of hair over the top. A second weft is applied directly on top of the first weft, "sandwiching" the natural hair in between. Guests with thinner hair have the option to use only a single weft with single-sided tape which will create a realistic and natural density.
