DOUBLE STRAND TWIST EXTENSIONS
Frequently Asked Questions

 

How long will this style last, how do I maintain its appearance?
The DST should last for at least 3 months, if you properly take care of it at home or return to the salon for monthly maintenance as instructed. The style should be wrapped nightly, apply moisture and shine daily, and keep it free of any other debris.  We also suggest purchasing a satin pillow case which will help your hair retain oil and control frizz.  Your hair should only be washed once a month.
(Product suggested: Diamond Shine BB. Or ULI shine, for cleaning Herbal Cleanse Dry Shampoo)

How do I wash my hair, what products do I use?
Since this is a natural hair style, we only use natural hair products.
For the first month we suggest using the lather less shampoo (Herbal Cleanse) by Organic Root Stimulator and their Nature’s Shine for moisture.  The Taliah Wajjid line of natural hair products is also excellent, the product most used by my clientele and Moisture Cleanse will keep your scalp feeling and smelling clean in between shampoos.  You can schedule an appointment for maintenance or you can do it yourself at home, but we do not guarantee the same results if this service is not done at the salon.

What does maintenance include?
If service is done at salon, your scalp will be cleansed with a Latherless Shampoo or Moisturizing Shampoo depending on the condition of your hair.  We will remove and reattach new twists along your front/back hair line, which gives it a refreshed, looked.  You hair will then be curled if needed or pulled up into a creative up-do that should last you for at least a month, if you wrap it nightly.  The cost of this service is $35.00-60.00 depending on the maintenance needed is the service required is minor, taking less than 30 min -there may be no charge, this discretion goes to the stylist.  An appointment should be scheduled in advance for this maintenance service.

What do I do when it’s time to re-do my twists?
We strongly advise you to make an appointment for removal. The cost for removal is $35, this service will take about 1 hour if longer additional fees may apply.  You can remove your twist at home by untwisting in the opposite direction, they should slide out easily.  Once your twist are all removed, please comb thru your hair thoroughly to remove buildup prior to washing. (This is very important or your hair may tangle up.)

Where do I purchase the hair for the extensions, what type, how many?
Archer Road Beauty Supply is the distributor we recommend for hair purchase. 39th and Archer Road or Newberry Road Crossing.  We use BIJOUX BRAND, Tight Afro Kinky Hair (human and synthetic) We also use Marly Braid or Puffy Screw Hair for relaxed hair clients.  It normally takes a minimum of 5 packs of the hair for an entire head.  If you want highlights in your hair I suggest 4 packs of your natural hair color and only 1 pack of the lighter hair. When purchasing your hair, take appointment sheet with you to receive a discount at the register.

How much does this service cost, how long will it take?
$150.00 (We accept Cash/Credit/Debit only for this service) There is also a $25 deposit fee to secure the appointment, which is deducted from the total cost upon the day of your appointment.  This fee is non-refundable. It takes about 4-8 hours for the DST extensions service. When having your hair done, if at any point you see your style is not going the way we agreed, please let us know as soon as you know. After the style is finished it will be too late for any adjustments or refunds to be made.

(fees that may apply:  DST EXT  150.00    Removal of old twist w/ shampoo:  $40 or more
Hair Purchase $20-100 depending on hair purchased) 

Please call the salon if you require any additional information.

All maintenance products are sold at the salon.
