Our hair extension expert Jak from Salon Shique answers
commonly asked questions about hair extensions. www.shique.com.au
Types of Hair Extensions:
Weaves /Tracks - Your natural hair is finely woven
into a structure to receive natural pieces of hair. The wefts are
attached for a very natural look. Gentle, natural and effective.
Cylinders - Tiny metal cylinders are slipped onto
your natural hair to hold the new hair extensions in place. The
cylinders are locked together to hold the extension in place. Great
for special effects and adding bulk. Not recommended for a full
head of extensions.
Glue - Different types of glues can be used. Zak
does not endorse this method at all.
Resin - A natural substance that is heated and
bonds the new hair to your existing hair. We only use the highest
quality keratin resin available.
Wax - Zak does not endorse this technique. Can
be soft and sticky, and messy on hair.
What you should be asking:
Is the hair Asian, Indian, European or Russian?
Is the hair Russian virgin or in the disguise of European/Indian?
Does your hairdresser give you a written guarantee stating the quality
of the hair?
What method/s will they be using?
How experienced are they?
Do they guarantee their work?
Do they have a portfolio of their work?
Are there any hidden costs?
In our opinion, if you are not totally confident in both the quality
of the hair and of the salon, or your needs are not going to be
entirely met, wait a little longer until you can afford and receive
the best. Do your homework; call many salons before you make your
final decision.
