✦ Why Extensions at ALVA?

You deserve extensions that feel just as good as they look.

Every consultation begins with your hair, your goals, your lifestyle, and your maintenance preferences. From there, I'll recommend the method, placement, and amount of hair that creates the most natural result while protecting the health of your own hair.

✧Choose Your Transformation

We don’t believe in surprise prices.

At your consultation, we’ll select the right method and tier for your hair goals — but here’s a guide so you know exactly what to expect.

What’s included in every install
Each extension service comes with a custom color blend, seamless installation, precision cut and style, and personalized take-home care guidance.

How pricing is determined
Your final cost is based on the method (custom sew-in or no-sew), number of rows, and whether straight or wavy wefts are chosen. Length and fullness goals also factor into the final price.

✧Care for your Investment

Beautiful extensions don't require a complicated routine, but they do require the right one. I'll walk you through everything you need to know before you leave, so you can feel confident caring for your hair at home. A few simple habits will help keep your extensions looking beautiful while supporting the long-term health of your natural hair.

✦ Brush gently from the ends up using an extension-safe brush.

✦ Sleep with your hair in a loose braid or ponytail to prevent tangling.

✦ Never go to bed with wet extensions.

✦ Use salon-recommended products to protect your investment.

✦ Stay on schedule with your maintenance appointments for the healthiest, longest-lasting results.

✦ Heat style mindfully and always use a heat protectant.
