Hair Extensions at Studio 360 Salon, Chatham Township, NJ

Hand-tied and tape-in extensions for added length, volume, and versatility.

About Our Hair Extension Services

Hair extensions have evolved dramatically in recent years, and at Studio 360 Salon in Chatham Township, New Jersey, we offer the latest, most natural-looking, and least damaging extension methods available. Whether you dream of longer, fuller hair, want to add volume to fine or thinning strands, or simply crave the versatility to change your look without waiting for your natural hair to grow, our extension specialists can create a seamless, undetectable result that looks and moves exactly like your own hair. We specialize in hand-tied and tape-in extensions, two of the most advanced and gentle methods in the industry, and we use only the highest-quality, ethically sourced human hair, including the Christian Michael brand known for its exceptional quality, natural texture, and long lifespan.

Hand-tied extensions are widely considered the gold standard in professional hair extensions. This method uses a specialized beaded-row foundation system to secure small, hand-crafted wefts of hair to your natural strands. The result is incredibly flat, lightweight, and virtually undetectable, even in fine hair. Hand-tied extensions distribute weight evenly across the foundation row, minimizing stress on individual hair follicles and making them one of the least damaging extension methods available. They are ideal for clients who want maximum volume and length with a natural look and comfortable wear. Hand-tied extensions can be customized extensively, with your stylist selecting the number of rows, weft density, and color matching to create your perfect look.

Tape-in extensions are another excellent option, offering a quick, lightweight, and affordable entry point into the world of hair extensions. Thin, pre-taped wefts of hair are sandwiched around small sections of your natural hair, lying flat against the scalp for a seamless, comfortable result. Tape-in extensions are faster to install than hand-tied extensions, making them a popular choice for clients who want beautiful, natural-looking length and volume with minimal appointment time. They are also easy to maintain, with reinstall appointments typically taking less than an hour.

At Studio 360, we exclusively use the Christian Michael brand of extension hair, a premium line known for its exceptional quality, natural luster, and impressive longevity. Christian Michael extensions are made from ethically sourced, 100 percent human Remy hair, meaning the cuticles are intact and aligned in the same direction for a smooth, tangle-free result that behaves just like natural hair. This premium hair can be colored, styled with heat tools, and washed just like your own hair, giving you complete versatility and a result that is truly indistinguishable from your natural strands.

What to Expect During Your Hair Extension Journey

Step 1: Complimentary Consultation. Your extension journey begins with a thorough, no-obligation consultation. Your stylist will assess your natural hair’s condition, texture, and density, discuss your goals for length and volume, explain the differences between hand-tied and tape-in methods, and recommend the best approach for your hair type and lifestyle. Color matching is also done during this visit, ensuring a flawless blend from day one.

Step 2: Hair Ordering & Preparation. Based on your consultation, your stylist will order your custom Christian Michael extension hair in the appropriate length, color, and quantity. If custom coloring of the extensions is needed, this will be done before your installation appointment to ensure a perfect match.

Step 3: Installation. On installation day, your stylist will create the foundation rows (for hand-tied) or prepare the tape-in sections, then carefully attach each weft for optimal placement, comfort, and natural movement. The extensions are then custom-cut and blended with your natural hair for a seamless finish. A full hand-tied installation typically takes two to three hours, while tape-ins can often be completed in one to two hours.

Step 4: Styling & Education. After installation, your stylist will blow-dry and style your new hair, showing you the full effect of your extensions. You will receive detailed instructions on how to wash, brush, sleep with, and style your extensions at home, as well as which products to use and which to avoid. This education is critical for maximizing the life and beauty of your extensions.

Step 5: Ongoing Maintenance. Extensions require regular maintenance to stay looking their best and to protect your natural hair. Hand-tied extensions need a move-up every six to eight weeks, while tape-ins need reinstallation every six to eight weeks. During these appointments, your stylist will remove the extensions, inspect your natural hair, and reinstall the extensions closer to the root for continued seamless blending.

Aftercare Tips for Hair Extensions

Proper care is essential for maintaining the beauty and longevity of your extensions:

• Brush gently with a loop brush or extension-safe brush starting from the ends and working up. Avoid pulling or tugging near the attachment points.
• Use sulfate-free, extension-safe shampoo and conditioner. Apply conditioner to the mid-lengths and ends only, avoiding the bonds or tape.
• Wash no more than two to three times per week to preserve the bonds and maintain the hair’s condition.
• Never sleep with wet extensions. Always blow-dry your hair at least 80 percent before bed to prevent matting and bond weakening.
• Braid loosely or tie in a low ponytail before sleeping and use a silk or satin pillowcase.
• Use heat protectant before styling and keep hot tool temperatures moderate to extend the life of the extension hair.
• Keep all maintenance appointments on schedule to protect your natural hair and keep your extensions looking seamless.
