Regarding the taped wefts, can the hair still be styled in updos? I'm a model and would love the added fullness ( I have long but fine hair) however, some shoots require updos, etc and I certainly wouldn't want the extensions to show when my hair was pulled up. Also, as far as the bonding taped areas, how much care needs to be taken when applying heat? I frequently blow dry my hair and use a straightening iron almost daily. Thanks for your help! Hi!

The pricing for any high-quality long-lasting extensions (meaning, not the clip-ins) is going to be 4 figures. How long you want to go, and how thick your natural hair is, are the main factors, although blonde hair does cost a bit more than brown (because it is less common and you don't want dark hair that has been bleached). Please do come in for a consultation; it's free! Kristen only works with us Thurs-Sat now, if you'd like to avoid any awkwardness when you come in, but with speciality services we help each others' clients all the time. I send Kristen prom+wedding clients, other stylists send me a Brazilian Blowout client, it's all good. BTW she does do the tape-in kind, if you would like to consider those as well. I think they are pricey the first time, when you buy the hair, but the same hair can be used through several lower-cost maintenance sessions. BUT--these are definitely heat-sensitive, because that's how they are applied. As for the heat-free bonds, they are definitely the most heat-resistant, but you wouldn't want to hold an iron on them for more than a few seconds, as they would begin to soften (then again, hopefully you aren't holding the iron on any one section of your hair for that long anyway, that would definitely be drying/damaging). The extensions I use have a slight wave to them (unless I specifically order them curly), so they can be air-dried for a beachy-natural-wave look, though at least drying the bonded area at the root will help them last longer. They can be blown-out straight, styled witha round brush, etc. just as your natural hair is. As Valerie suggested, a Brazilian Blowout would be great for controlling your frizz and to help keep your natural hair smooth. It can be done (carefully) in combination with the heat-free extensions...but of course, that is another expense. We can definitely create a package deal for you if you decide to do both! If I may pop in on the sulfate topic, too: my understanding is that we have been commercially trained to want lots of lather, but that it isn't really necessary. You may need to wrk a little harder to distribute the product throughout your hair, but it is definitely better to avoid sulfates for both the color reason and the potential health risk. We have several sulfate-free lines at the salon, which I would be happy to show you. One of my favorites is www.sudzzfx.com, they are free of all sorts of bad junk that is in some products :) @Lisa You have a great questions!

Um, also, you can get a Brazilian Blowout, but that's even more $$$. (Note Lisa: @e need to start a business where we make a shit-ton of $$. ok?) Anyway... with the heat free bonds, I think you can treat it like your normal hair--straighten it, curl it, blowdry it, etc. You should just go into Jordana and do a consultation to get an idea of how much money it would be. And, um, report back! I am curious. Ok, and about sulfates. There is a lot of conflicting information out there about sulfates... People saying it strips your color or that it causes cancer (!) As far as I can gather, sulfates are used in hair products because they're super good at dissolving dirt and oil and they foam up really well. (And we love lather!) Sulfate free products work too. They are typically more expensive, lather less, and are less harsh on the skin/hair. But they also won't cut through the "cones" (silicones) that you put in your hair with hair products and conditioners and you may get buildup, which can weight it down. But it might work perfectly for you! Some people love it. you kind of just have to try stuff and find what works for you when it comes to hair products, though... Try the sulfate-free line and see what you think. Lisa: I will email Jordana and have her answer this for sure, but I am pretty sure you can flat iron heat-free bonds.
