Hair Extensions in Eastchester, NY
Hair extensions add length, volume, or both without waiting months for natural growth. At MAK Salon, we offer tape-in and hand-tied extension methods with custom color matching so the extensions blend seamlessly with your natural hair. Every extension service starts with a free consultation to assess your hair type, desired result, and maintenance commitment.
Tape-In vs Hand-Tied Extensions
Tape-in extensions use thin, pre-taped wefts bonded to small sections of your natural hair. They lay flat against the head, feel lightweight, and are the fastest method to install (typically 60 to 90 minutes). Tape-ins need to be moved up every 6 to 8 weeks as your hair grows. They work well for most hair types and are a great entry point for first-time extension clients.
Hand-tied extensions use a beaded row system with wefts hand-sewn onto a thin thread anchored by micro beads. This method distributes weight more evenly across the head and works especially well for fine or thin hair because it causes less tension. Hand-tied extensions need maintenance every 6 to 8 weeks and last longer per set than tape-ins.
Custom Color Matching
Extensions that do not match your natural hair look obvious. At MAK Salon, we custom color match every set of extensions to your exact shade, including any highlights or dimensional color. If needed, we can color the extensions before installation to create a perfect blend. This is one of the biggest differences between a specialist and a generalist salon.
What to Expect at Your Consultation
The consultation is free and takes about 30 minutes. Marie will assess your hair's density, texture, and condition. She will discuss how much length or volume you want, review photos of your goal, and recommend the best method. You will also discuss maintenance schedule, home care, and realistic expectations for how extensions will look and feel.
Extensions are not right for everyone. If your natural hair is severely damaged or thinning in certain areas, we may recommend a repair treatment first. We will always be upfront about what is and is not possible.
Maintenance and Longevity
Both tape-in and hand-tied extensions require maintenance appointments every 6 to 8 weeks. During maintenance, the extensions are removed, your natural hair is washed and assessed, and the extensions are re-installed higher up as your hair has grown. With proper care, a single set of quality extensions can last 6 to 12 months across multiple maintenance appointments.
Home care includes using sulfate-free shampoo, brushing with a loop brush, braiding before bed, and avoiding heavy conditioner near the bonds. Your stylist will walk you through everything at your appointment.
