There’s something transformative about fuller, longer, more luxurious hair. Whether you’re adding volume, experimenting with length, or repairing past damage, extensions can help you achieve the look you’ve always imagined, instantly.
At Craft Collective Salon Group, we specialize in creating seamless, natural-looking extensions that move, feel, and style like your own hair. Our North Hills stylists are trained in multiple extension methods and work closely with you to choose the right length, texture, and system for your goals.
Why Choose Professional Hair Extensions
Hair extensions have evolved dramatically over the past decade. The new generation of professional extensions integrates effortlessly with your natural hair, without bulk or visible bonds. When applied and maintained properly, they can protect your natural hair and boost confidence without causing damage.
Clients come to Craft Collective for extensions because they want results that are indistinguishable from their own hair, with personalized color blending, careful sectioning, and high-quality hair that lasts month after month.
The Consultation Process
Every extension transformation begins with a consultation. During this session, your stylist evaluates your natural hair health, density, and texture, then discusses your goals, whether that’s added fullness, significant length, or a corrective enhancement for thin or damaged areas.
You’ll review color matching, method options, and pricing transparency before scheduling your installation. Our goal is simple: to create a flawless, comfortable, and confidence-boosting result.
Extension Methods We Offer
Craft Collective stylists are certified in several high-performance techniques to ensure each guest receives the most appropriate fit for their hair type.
Hand-Tied Extensions
Perfect for those seeking lightweight comfort and maximum flexibility, hand-tied extensions are sewn into small, discreet beads. This method distributes weight evenly and blends seamlessly. The result is soft movement with minimal tension on your natural hair.
Ideal for: fine to medium textures, natural volume, and discreet wear.
Tape-In Extensions
A quick, efficient method ideal for clients looking to add length and fullness without long installation times. Tape-ins lay flat and feel lightweight while maintaining a natural appearance.
Ideal for: medium to thick textures or clients wanting an efficient application with easy maintenance.
Hybrid or Custom Blend
Many clients benefit from a mix of hand-tied and tape-in extensions to achieve a balance between comfort, density, and style. This hybrid approach is customized per guest and ensures both volume and natural flow.
Ideal for: multidimensional looks, unique head shapes, and those transitioning from one method to another.
Temporary Options
For events or shorter-term enhancements, clip-in or halo extensions are available. These provide instant transformation without a semi-permanent installation.
Ideal for: special occasions, photoshoots, or clients new to extensions.
The Installation Experience
Your stylist will section your natural hair, install each extension track or tape with precision, and blend through cutting and styling. The entire process is done in a calm, private salon setting, with every measure taken to ensure comfort and scalp health.
Depending on the chosen method, your appointment may take two to four hours. You’ll leave with immediate results that look and feel completely natural.
Color Matching & Blending
Color matching is one of the defining skills that separates average extensions from extraordinary ones. At Craft Collective, stylists custom-blend multiple shades to create perfect tonal harmony. We may tone, root-smudge, or gloss your extensions to align seamlessly with your natural hair.
The result is a multidimensional look that enhances your existing color and reflects light naturally, never flat or artificial.
Maintenance and Longevity
Proper care ensures long-lasting results. Most extension methods require maintenance every 6 to 10 weeks. During a maintenance visit, we remove, reapply, and refresh your extensions to keep your natural hair healthy and balanced.
Home Care Tips
– Use a sulfate-free shampoo and lightweight conditioner.
– Brush gently with a loop brush from mid-length down.
– Sleep with your hair loosely braided or tied in a silk scrunchie.
– Avoid excessive heat on bonds or wefts.
– Apply professional leave-in products recommended by your stylist.
Extensions typically last six to twelve months with consistent care, depending on the method and home routine.
