How to wash my extensions?
Before getting into the shower, brush out your extensions using a WetBrush to help prevent deep tangles and matting. Use a sulfate-free shampoo and conditioner to prolong your hair color and the extension color. Gently shampoo between the rows, without vigorous scrubbing. We recommend Kevin Murphy or Oribe shampoos and conditioners, as their skin care grade ingredients will help prolong the extensions.
After your shower, use a leave-in detangler, such as Untangled Kevin Murphy or Run-through Oribe, to help maintain a longer life for your hair. When brushing the extensions while wet, start from the ends and work your way up to the scalp. If you have multiple rows, section between each row and brush at the root. Not doing so could lead to matting that could be damaging to your hair and the extension hair. Additional products to consider are Restore by Kevin Murphy, Super Shine Moisture Cream by Oribe, and Gold Lust Intense Treatment by Oribe.
What products do you recommend for keeping my extensions healthy?
We recommend a variety of products in order to keep your extensions healthy and long lasting:
→ Untangled leave in conditioner by Kevin Murphy. This helps detangle and protect from heat.
→ Nourishing hair oil by Oribe. This helps with dryness and tangles.
→ Superhine moisture cream by Oribe. Great styling cream that helps with a nice, smooth, shiny blowout.
→ Mystify by Oribe. Spray on dry hair to refresh products & protect from heat before restyling on days 2 & 3.
How to style my extensions?
Rough dry your hair 80% of the way (meaning no tugging at the extensions with a round brush or comb, just use your hands/ fingers). This applies to Dry Bars as well. It is important to let whoever styles your hair know NOT to round brush your hair from the start to finish of your blowdry.
Make sure to always get your weft 100% dry. Moisture breaks down the weft causing you to replace them sooner than 6-8 months. For example, if you like to air-dry your hair, try to only wash 1-2 times per week. If you work out, make sure to use a blowdryer to completely dry any sweat from your weft.
You can use a round brush and a small amount of tension to smooth your hair and the extension hair the last few minutes of your blowdry.
If curling your extensions, run the extension hair through the curling iron to smooth the hair once or twice before placing curls. This will give your extensions a more polished look, close to the cuticle, and prolong the extension hair.
How often do I need to get my extensions maintained?
We recommend coming in for extension maintenance every 6-9 weeks.
How often do I need to get my color maintained?
Depending on the color desired, we recommend coming in every 6-9 weeks for color touch ups.
How do I get my extensions removed?
The hand tied extension removal process is quick (about 5 minutes) and painless.
Will there be damage to my hair if I get my extensions removed?
Hand-tied extensions are gentle on your hair, so damage is minimal to none. These particular extensions are installed without the use of any heat or glue, which prevents breakage and damage to your natural hair.
The extensions are tied to the hair with a thin, durable thread, which is gentle enough not to damage the hair. The extensions are also lightweight and made with natural hair, so they won't pull or strain your hair.
How much is it for extension maintenance?
1 row starting at $300-$350
2 rows starting at $400-$475
3 rows starting at $500-$600
How much is it for color maintenance?
For extension color maintenance, the price ranges from $100–$450.
What services do you provide in addition to extensions?
In addition to extensions, we provide a wide range of services including haircuts and color, balayage, highlighting, and treatments.

How do i become a new client?
We have all of our new clients fill out the new client application in our main menu. Most clients will copy and paste the questions and send through email with your answers attached. We know this step can seem long and extensive, but it is so helpful when getting you scheduled. We also have some women who apply who are not great candidates for extensions and we would never want to waste your time or investment. This allows us to get to know your hair history before sitting in our chairs!
You can email us your application or any other questions you may have at info@sarahpelcosalon.com. Hope to see you soon!
How much is the Transformation Package?
We begin all of our new clients with intro pricing. This ranges from $1350-$3300. This could be for ‘extensions only’ all the way to corrective color and 3 rows.
For a reference, if you only want extensions because you don’t get your hair colored, you’ll be at the $1350 tier. If you’re looking for something subtle and natural with color and extensions, you’ll be close to $1700. If someone needs a corrective color with 2-3 rows, they’ll be closer to $2100-$2500. Color & two rows of 22″ lands you closer to $3300.
What does the Transformation Package include?
How much is the Transformation Package deposit?
We take a $500 non refundable deposit to hold your appointment. This will come off your total amount the day of. As long as you reschedule your appointment 48 hours in advance, your deposit will carry over. After 6 months of rescheduling you will lose your extension deposit.
