Your Hair Extensions Questions Answered: Arizona’s Trusted FAQ Guide

General FAQs About Hair Extensions

1. What are hair extensions made of?

We use 100% human hair, ethically sourced and carefully processed to retain its strength, softness, and shine. Our most popular option—25-inch Russian extensions—are known for their natural texture and exceptional quality. These are the gold standard for women who want length and volume without compromising on comfort or realism.

2. How long do hair extensions last?

It depends on the type and how well you care for them. With regular maintenance and proper at-home care, our extensions can last anywhere from 12 to 24 months. That’s one of the reasons Arizona clients love us—we offer premium, long-lasting extensions that are reusable and beautifully low-maintenance.

3. Will hair extensions damage my natural hair?

Not when installed and maintained properly. At Paramount, we only use methods that are safe and non-damaging. Our certified stylists are trained to assess your hair type and recommend an application method that keeps your natural strands protected.

4. Can I style my extensions like my natural hair?

Absolutely. Our human hair extensions can be curled, straightened, blow-dried, and even colored. Just make sure to use a heat protectant spray and avoid overly high heat to maintain their longevity.

Choosing the Right Extensions

5. What types of extensions do you offer?

We specialize in:

• Tape-In Extensions – lightweight, quick to apply, and reusable
• Invisible extsions – undetectable, lightweight, gives extra volume
• Hand-Tied Wefts – natural-looking and virtually undetectable
• V-Light extensions, individually placed.
• Straight / textured & curly extensions, ranging from 24-30 inches.

Not sure which is best for you? Don’t worry. That’s exactly what our consultation is for.

6. How do I know which extension method is right for me?

During your personalized consultation, we’ll talk about your hair goals, lifestyle, and daily habits. For example:

• If you swim or exercise often, we may recommend a method that’s more secure and low-maintenance.
• If you’re new to extensions, we might start you with tape-ins for their ease and flexibility.
• If you’re looking for the most seamless finish, any of our methods can help you achieve a beautiful natural look.
• If you are looking for volume around your face, as well as length and volume we would highly recommend our INVISIBLE Extensions.

Installation Process

7. How long does it take to get extensions installed?

It varies based on the method and how much hair we’re working with, but most appointments last between 1 to 2 hours. We make sure your appointment is efficient without ever feeling rushed.

8. Can I color my hair and get extensions on the same day?

Yes! We offer same-day color matching and installation. Whether you’re going platinum blonde or staying rooted in brunette, our stylists will color your natural hair to blend seamlessly with your new extensions.

Hair Extension Care Tips

Once you leave the salon, you’ll want to keep your new hair looking flawless. That’s where proper aftercare comes in.

9. How should I wash my hair extensions?

• Use sulfate-free shampoo and conditioner – we recommend lumitress
• Wash gently, keeping your head upright (no flipping your hair over the tub!)
• Focus on cleansing your scalp and roots; avoid scrubbing the bonds or tapes
• Rinse with lukewarm water and avoid rubbing

10. Can I sleep with wet hair extensions?

We highly recommend drying your hair before bed. Wet hair is more prone to tangling, especially when extensions are involved. A silk or satin pillowcase can also help prevent breakage and frizz.

11. How often should I brush my extensions?

At least twice a day, ideally morning and night. Use a loop brush or a wide-tooth comb to detangle gently from the bottom up. Be extra careful near the bonds or wefts.

12. Do I need to come back for maintenance?

Yes—this is key to keeping both your natural hair and extensions healthy. We suggest visiting every 6 to 12 weeks, depending on the method you choose, for repositioning, refreshing, or reinstalling your extensions depending on the method used.

Style & Lifestyle FAQs

13. Can I go to the gym or pool with my extensions?

Absolutely. Just be sure to:

• Tie your hair in a loose braid or ponytail to reduce friction
• Avoid saltwater or chlorine sitting in your hair too long
• Rinse immediately after swimming
• Dry your bonds before bed.

14. Will anyone notice I’m wearing extensions?

Only if you tell them! Our extensions are expertly color-matched, cut, and styled to blend seamlessly with your natural hair. Most of our clients say no one ever notices—it just looks like they’ve had a great blowout or suddenly gorgeous hair growth.
