Hair Extensions in Cary, NC.
At Alfa Jae Salon, we approach hair extensions with intention. We take the time to understand your natural hair, density, lifestyle, hair goals, and how much maintenance you are comfortable with before recommending an extension method. With multiple methods available, our goal is to create a customized extension plan that gives you the length, fullness, or both that you’re looking for while keeping the health of your natural hair a priority.
Whether you want a subtle boost in fullness, dramatically longer hair, or a complete change, your method, color match, placement, and amount of hair are selected specifically for you. We focus on proper installation, comfortable wear, seamless blending, and a maintenance plan that fits your lifestyle. The result is beautiful, customized extensions that blend naturally with your hair and feel like they were made for you.

K-Tip Extensions use small keratin bonds to attach individual extension strands throughout the hair. Because each strand can be placed individually, K-Tips allow for highly customized placement, natural movement, and flexibility when styling. They can be an excellent option for adding length and fullness while creating a seamless result that moves naturally with your own hair.
-
I-Tip Extensions are installed strand by strand using small beads to secure the extension hair without the use of adhesive or keratin bonds. Individual placement gives your stylist control over where fullness and length are added while allowing the extensions to move naturally throughout the hair. I-Tips require regular maintenance as your natural hair grows and the beads move away from the scalp.

Beaded Row Extensions use rows of small beads to create a foundation for extension wefts that are secured along the natural hair. This method is great for guests looking to add noticeable length, fullness, or both while keeping the attachment points contained within strategically placed rows. Placement, number of rows, and amount of extension hair are customized based on your natural density, desired result, and lifestyle.
-
Tape-In Extensions use thin extension wefts attached with professional adhesive tabs that sit flat against the natural hair. Their lightweight, low profile design can create beautiful length, fullness, and dimension while maintaining natural movement. Tape-Ins are removed and repositioned during regular maintenance appointments as your natural hair grows.
-
Sew-In Extensions use extension wefts secured to a foundation created with the natural hair. Depending on your hair and desired result, your stylist will customize the foundation, placement, and amount of extension hair used to create comfortable fullness and length. This method can be especially versatile for guests with textured hair and is customized with the health and protection of the natural hair in mind.

What to expect
YOUR EXTENSION CONSULTATION
Every new extension guest begins with a consultation. We’ll discuss your hair goals, lifestyle, desired length and fullness, maintenance expectations, and extension history. Your stylist will assess your natural hair, density, length, condition, and scalp to determine which extension method is best suited for you.
YOUR INSTALLATION
Once your extension hair has been ordered and received, your installation appointment can be scheduled. Your stylist will carefully place your extensions using the method selected during your consultation, with attention to placement, tension, comfort, and the health of your natural hair.
YOUR CUSTOM EXTENSION PLAN
Extensions are never one size fits all. Your stylist will recommend the method, amount of hair, length, color, and placement needed to achieve your desired result while considering the health of your natural hair. Your plan will also include your expected investment and maintenance schedule so you know what to expect before moving forward.
THE PERFECT BLEND
After installation, your extensions are customized to become part of your finished look. Your stylist will cut and blend the extension hair with your natural hair as needed, then style everything together for a seamless finish. We’ll make sure your extensions look beautiful both in the salon and as you wear them in everyday life.
YOUR PERFECT COLOR MATCH
Creating a seamless blend starts with choosing the right extension hair. During your consultation, we’ll determine the colors and tones needed to complement your natural hair and desired result. We can use multiple shades when necessary to create dimension and a more natural looking blend.
MAINTENANCE & HOME CARE
Beautiful extensions require consistent maintenance and proper home care. Before you leave, your stylist will teach you how to brush, wash, condition, dry, style, and sleep with your extensions, along with which products to use or avoid. We’ll also discuss when to return for maintenance, removal, or reinstall based on your extension method.
