Worried about damage, breakage, visible attachment lines?

You're asking the right questions.

Most extension issues come down to the same three mistakes. At CK Studio, we prevent them completely with three uncompromising commitments.

Hair Breakage

This happens when the wrong method is used or attachments are placed too tight. We thoroughly assess your hair's density first, ensuring the method and weight perfectly match what your natural hair can safely support.

Visible Attachment Lines

Poor installation places strands where they easily show. Our strategic, custom placement ensures your extensions disappear completely under your natural hair—whether it's worn down or tied up.

Color Mismatch

Off-the-shelf extensions rarely match custom dimension. We custom color-match your extensions prior to installation.

Generic salon vs. CK Studio

What makes our extensions different.

Generic Salon
CK Studio Salon
Consultation is often skipped, rushed, or handled over the phone without a physical look at the hair.
Consultation is always required in person to thoroughly evaluate your hair before booking any service.
Method Selection relies on a one-size-fits-all approach or whatever they happen to have in stock.
Method Selection is tailored expertly to your hair using only premium K-Tip, I-Tip, or Weft methods.
Density Assessment is ignored, leading to the wrong estimation of grams needed for your hair type.
Density Assessment predetermines your exact hair needs to accurately calculate the grams of hair required for a safe, full blend.
Placement follows a standard grid that easily peeks through when your hair is tied up in a ponytail.
Placement is strategic and hidden, customized to how your hair moves so it stays completely invisible.
Color Blending uses off-the-shelf extension colors that look chunky or unmatched against your natural hair.
Color Blending is expertly matched prior to installation to seamlessly melt into your custom dimension.

Tape-In · K-Tip.

The right method depends on your hair density, lifestyle, and maintenance preference. Here's how each one works.

Transparent extensions pricing

Custom Extension Pricing.

Extensions are fully bespoke to each individual. While our installation is priced per package, your final investment depends entirely on the specific method chosen and how many packages (grams) of hair are required to achieve your desired look.

Because every guest has unique hair goals and density, exact pricing cannot be guessed or estimated online. Your customized quote and total package requirements are discussed and confirmed exclusively during your in-person consultation.

All extension services are by consultation — every appointment custom tailored to your length, density, and color. Removal of extensions installed elsewhere is quoted separately.

"I have been coming to CK Studio for years. Never, in my many many appointments, have I been disappointed. Their service is amazing- they offer water, coffee etc. The new studio is BEAUTIFUL. It is genuinely enjoyable to sit and get my hair done. And obviously the stylist are the best. They are friendly and so talented. I have used a couple and each one is more talented than the next. 10/10 would definitely recommend. I look forward to my appointments!!"

Hair Extension FAQ

The questions everyone asks.

Not when they are done right. Hair extensions themselves don't cause damage—incorrect method selection, poor placement, and improper maintenance do.

Here is how we ensure your natural hair stays completely safe and healthy:

• In-Person Assessment: We always evaluate your hair's density and strength first. We will never install a method that is too heavy for your natural hair to support.

• Precise Gram Weighting: We custom-calculate the exact grams of hair needed so your natural roots are never overloaded or strained.

• Custom Placement: The extensions are strategically mapped to your natural hair flow, ensuring the weight is distributed evenly and safely.

• Clear Maintenance Paths: Before you leave the salon, we map out your exact refresh schedule so your extensions are adjusted before any tension or pulling can happen.
Because every look is completely customized, there isn't a single flat rate for extensions. The overall investment depends entirely on the method chosen (K-Tip, I-Tip, or Beaded Wefts) and how many packages (grams) of hair are required to seamlessly match your natural density and length goals.

We price our installation per package, but because we prioritize the health of your hair, we never guess on pricing online. Your customized quote, specific method recommendations, and exact package requirements are discussed and confirmed exclusively during your required in-person consultation. This ensures you know the exact investment for your unique hair profile before any installation begins.
The right method depends entirely on your unique hair density, lifestyle, and hair goals. Because there is no one-size-fits-all approach, we don't guess or use a standard formula.

We decide on the perfect method for you exclusively during your required in-person consultation.
It depends entirely on your personalized maintenance schedule and the method used. Instead of leaving you guessing, your stylist prepares you for your exact maintenance schedule before you leave the salon. During your installation visit, we map out your custom upkeep timeline and book your next refresh appointment to ensure your extensions stay safe, seamless, and perfectly blended.
We completely customize the color match from the very start. During your in-person consultation, we meticulously analyze your natural tones and dimension to select the perfect blend of shades. Because we nail the color match so precisely to your hair during the design process, there is absolutely no need to color the extensions themselves.
We provide every client with specific, customized instructions and an at-home maintenance guide tailored to your unique lifestyle. During your appointment, we map out exactly how to care for your extensions—including the best practices for sleeping, washing, and swimming—to ensure your natural hair stays protected and your extensions remain flawless between salon visits.
It isn't a matter of one being better than the other; it's about choosing the right fit for your hair type and lifestyle.

• Tape-Ins use flat, lightweight panels that lay flush against the scalp, making them excellent for quick, seamless volume and uniform coverage.

• K-Tips are applied as tiny, individual strands using a keratin bond. Because they move 360 degrees just like natural hair, they offer ultimate flexibility, are virtually invisible, and can be customized for areas where maximum discretion is needed.

Both methods deliver beautiful, damage-free results, and we determine which approach—or custom combination—is best for your hair density during your in-person consultation.
