Luxury Hair Extensions at TRU Hair Salon

Yes, a consultation is essential before getting extensions. During the consultation, your stylist will evaluate your natural hair, discuss your goals, and determine the best type of extensions for you—whether it's Great Lengths or IBE. This ensures the extensions will blend perfectly with your hair and your lifestyle.

Extension pricing is tailored to each individual, considering factors such as desired length, thickness, color requirements, and overall goals. We offer both Great Lengths keratin bond extensions and IBE® hand-tied extensions, each with unique benefits to suit different lifestyles and hair needs. While general pricing is available on our service menu, a consultation is essential to determine the best option for you. To get started, please book a consultation with one of our certified stylists to discuss both Great Lengths and IBE®.

For Great Lengths keratin bond extensions, the hair is not reusable but lasts about 4 to 6 months with proper care. Once the bonds naturally shed with your hair over time, you'll need to purchase new hair for your next application. For IBE (Invisible Bead Extensions), the hair is reusable and typically lasts 9 to 12 months with proper at-home care and regular salon maintenance. You’ll need to visit the salon every 7 to 10 weeks for a move-up, but the same hair can be reinstalled multiple times before needing replacement.

At TRU Hair Salon, we use high-quality extensions that are designed to be gentle on your hair. Our stylists ensure the proper installation technique and provide you with the knowledge and products to care for your extensions at home, minimizing the risk of damage. Proper maintenance is key to preserving both your natural hair and your extensions. Regular salon visits for move-ups and using the right hair care products can help prevent stress on your hair. If you ever notice any discomfort or tangling, it's important to let your stylist know so they can make adjustments as needed. With the right care and attention, extensions can actually help protect your natural hair by allowing you to wear your hair in different styles without frequent heat styling or chemical treatments.

For IBE Extensions, we recommend scheduling your first follow-up appointment within 7 to 8 weeks, where your stylist will assess your hair’s growth and determine if you can extend the time between visits. At each reinstall appointment, your stylist will remove the extensions, evaluate your scalp and hair health, make any necessary adjustments, and reinstall them. On average, guests have their rows reinstalled every 8 to 10 weeks. In contrast, Great Lengths Extensions, which are keratin bond extensions, cannot be reused and naturally shed as your hair grows. We recommend scheduling a follow-up appointment within 4 to 6 weeks to check on the bonds and ensure they remain in good condition. Great Lengths extensions typically last 4 to 6 months, depending on your hair growth and at-home care. To maintain their integrity, avoid oily products at the roots, and always brush gently with an extension-safe brush to prevent tangling and stress on your natural hair.

The installation time for extensions can vary based on the method and your desired look. For Great Lengths, the installation process typically takes 2 to 4 hours. For IBE extensions, the process can take 2 to 3 hours. Your stylist will assess your hair and the desired outcome during your consultation, and they will give you a more specific time estimate.

Great Lengths and IBE extensions are designed to be suitable for most hair types, including straight, wavy, and curly hair. Both methods work well with different textures, but it's important to have a consultation with your stylist to ensure that extensions are right for your hair type and condition.

Yes! Both Great Lengths and IBE extensions can be safely applied to fine or thinning hair with the right technique. For Great Lengths, the keratin bonds are lightweight, and the extensions are applied in a way that won’t weigh down your natural hair. With IBE extensions, the beads are placed strategically to prevent strain. It’s always best to have a consultation with your stylist to ensure your hair is a good match and that extensions are applied in a way that won’t damage your natural hair.

Hand-tied' extensions refer to a type of extension hair used in various bead-and-sew application methods, including IBE. We also offer wefts called 'genius' or 'micro,' which are slightly more durable yet equally gentle. Some might even find them more comfortable than hand-tied extensions.

Absolutely! You can definitely work out with Great Lengths and IBE extensions, but there are some things to keep in mind to ensure your extensions stay in great shape. For IBE extensions, since they are tied to your natural hair using beads, we recommend securing them in a braid or low ponytail during intense physical activities like running or heavy lifting. This helps prevent tangling or unnecessary pulling. Additionally, you can air-dry your extensions after washing them, which minimizes heat damage. For Great Lengths, because they are applied using keratin bonds, it's important to avoid excessive friction and heat that could cause them to loosen or weaken. We also suggest keeping your hair in a braid or low ponytail to reduce strain on the bonds while working out. After exercising, be sure to let your extensions air-dry, as heat styling could affect the bonds.

Yes, you can swim with Great Lengths and IBE extensions, but there are some precautions to take: For Great Lengths, avoid prolonged exposure to chlorine or saltwater, as this can weaken the bonds. For IBE extensions, it’s best to wear your hair in a braid or ponytail to minimize tangling. After swimming, always rinse your hair with fresh water and follow up with a hydrating conditioner.
