Hair extensions in Corpus Christi

Hair extensions at our Corpus Christi location come in two methods: hand-tied wefts and tape-in panels. Both use 100 percent human hair. The difference is in the attachment method, the maintenance schedule, and the investment level.

Hand-tied weft extensions are sewn onto a beaded row that sits flat against your scalp. They are the most secure, most natural-looking option we offer. Installation takes about 3 hours for a full head. The hair can be reused for 8 to 12 months with proper care, and you will come back every 6 to 8 weeks for a move-up appointment where your specialist repositions the rows as your natural hair grows. Move-ups take about 90 minutes. A full set of hand-tied wefts starts at $400 for hair and installation. Depending on the number of rows (2 to 4) and the length of hair you choose (14 to 22 inches), a full install typically lands between $400 and $900.

Tape-in extensions use thin adhesive panels that sandwich a small section of your natural hair. They lay extremely flat, install faster (about 90 minutes), and cost less upfront, starting around $300. The trade-off is that tape-ins need to be moved up every 4 to 6 weeks instead of 6 to 8, and the adhesive panels are replaced every 2 to 3 uses, so the ongoing cost can add up over time.

Every extension client starts with a required free consultation. Your specialist examines your natural hair density, scalp condition, and current color. We then custom-order or color-match your extension hair so the blend is seamless. This process can take 1 to 2 weeks after your consultation, so plan ahead if you have a specific event date.

Maintenance between move-ups is straightforward. Use sulfate-free shampoo. Brush with a loop brush from the bottom up. Sleep with your hair in a loose braid. Avoid applying conditioner or oil directly to the attachment points. Your specialist will give you a printed care guide at your installation appointment.
