Get to know your options

It starts with how it attaches.

Some pieces come out at home. Others stay in between salon visits. Toppers focus on the crown. Your hair density and the coverage you want help shape the choice.

Seven ways to find your fit

Meet the methods.

Start with the attachment. Open each card for suitability and care considerations.

Removable · weft

Clip-in extensions

Fullness when you want it.

Wefts with small pressure clips grip a section of your own hair. You place them. Nothing is bonded on.

Suitability, wear and care
Why people choose it
You can add length or fullness for part of a day and take the pieces out again.
Often suited to
Occasional wear, an event, or trying a length before a method that stays in. You need enough hair to hide the clips.
Wear
On and off at home. Not a piece that stays installed.
Tradeoff
Clips can show or shift if the hair is very fine or the placement is off. The pieces still need washing and storage. This is not a fit for every density.

Installed · individual strands

K-tip extensions

Individual strands. Custom placement.

Each strand has a keratin tip. The stylist softens that tip and bonds it around a small section of your hair. A bonding tool is part of a typical keratin install.

Suitability, wear and care
Why people choose it
Placement is strand by strand, so the stylist can plan where length and color sit. The hair stays in between salon visits.
Often suited to
Guests who want a stay-in style and have enough hair in each section to support a bond.
Wear
Stays in until a stylist removes or moves the bonds. You do not unclip them at night.
Tradeoff
Each bond carries weight. Heavy oils at the root can soften keratin. Removal is a salon step. The consult checks whether your hair can hold the bonds.

Installed · individual strands

I-tip extensions

Small beads hold each strand.

Individual strands pass through a small bead or ring with a section of your hair. The bead is closed without melting a keratin tip.

Suitability, wear and care
Why people choose it
You still get strand-by-strand placement, without a heat-softened keratin bond.
Often suited to
Guests who want individual strands to stay in, and whose hair can hide and hold a bead.
Wear
Stays in. A stylist opens the bead to move or remove it.
Tradeoff
Beads can be felt, and they can slip if the hair is very silky or the section is the wrong size. This still needs enough anchor hair.

Installed · panels

Tape-in extensions

Flat panels with adhesive tabs.

Flat panels use adhesive tabs that sandwich a thin section of your hair. No heat is part of that sandwich.

Suitability, wear and care
Why people choose it
The panels can lie flat and cover a section efficiently when the spacing is right.
Often suited to
Guests who want stay-in length and whose density can support and hide the panels. Tell Diana if adhesives have bothered your skin before.
Wear
Stays in until the stylist removes it.
Tradeoff
Oils and heavy products near the tabs can weaken the adhesive. Tape-in is not automatically the gentlest choice for fine hair. The consult decides.

Installed · rows

Hand-tied wefts

Fullness built in rows.

Hair is tied along a weft, then secured in rows. A row may be sewn to a braid or supported with beads. Hand-tied describes how the weft is made. The install is still planned in the chair.

Suitability, wear and care
Why people choose it
A row adds length and fullness across a section, instead of one strand at a time.
Often suited to
Guests who want a stay-in style that can be cut and blended, and who have enough hair for the row to sit without showing.
Wear
Stays in. The stylist adjusts the row as your hair grows.
Tradeoff
A row needs a foundation of your own hair. It is not a bedtime removal. Adding more hair than your density can hide is not a better result.

Removable · band

Halo Couture, now Bellami

Length without bonded strands.

The hair sits on a wire or band around the head. Your own hair covers the band. Strands are not bonded or clipped on.

Suitability, wear and care
Why people choose it
Removable length and volume, without a row of clips or a bond. Bellami currently calls this halo BELLAMI HALO PRO, the present version of the Halo Couture halo.
Often suited to
Guests who want length or fullness they control at home, and who have enough hair to hide the band.
Wear
You put it on and take it off. It does not stay bonded in the hair.
Tradeoff
If your hair cannot cover the band, the piece will show. A halo is not built to cover a sparse crown the way a topper is. Comfort still depends on the fit.

Crown coverage · hairpiece

Hair toppers

Fullness at the part and crown.

A smaller piece is placed at the part or crown and blended with the hair around it. How it fastens depends on the piece. This page does not assign toppers a brand.

Suitability, wear and care
Why people choose it
Fullness where the scalp shows at the top. Extensions add length through the ends. A topper answers a different spot.
Often suited to
Guests whose main concern is the part or crown, and who still have surrounding hair to blend. The consult decides if a topper, an extension, or neither fits.
Wear
Some pieces come off at home and some stay for salon care. Ask Diana which piece she means. This page does not set a wear schedule.
Tradeoff
A topper does not stand in for long ends. Color and texture have to match. It is not a medical treatment for hair loss.

These are general descriptions. Suitability and comfort depend on your hair and scalp.

Before your visit

Hair extension questions

Which extension services do you offer?

Hair extensions by consultation, including clip-ins, K-tip, I-tip, tape-in, and hand-tied wefts, plus toppers and Halo Couture halos, now Bellami. The free consultation decides what fits. Not every method suits every head.

Is the consultation free?

Yes. A 15-minute consultation with Diana Paquet is free. It can cover hair extensions, clip-ins, K-tip, I-tip, toppers, and halos.

What can that consultation cover?

Length, texture, and which option may suit your hair. The salon offers these services by consultation and does not list prices for them on this page.

Which halo brand do you use?

Halos are Halo Couture, now Bellami. Bellami currently presents this halo as BELLAMI HALO PRO. Toppers are a separate service and are not described here as a Bellami product.

How do I request the consultation?

Choose Diana Paquet on the booking page and ask for the free 15-minute consultation, or contact the salon and ask for Diana. The booking page opens the general scheduler. It may not list each extension, topper, or halo by name.

How is a topper different from extensions?

Extensions add hair through the lengths. A topper covers the top, part, or crown and blends with the hair already there. Both are offered by consultation.

How is a halo different from clip-ins?

Both can be removed, and both are offered. A clip-in fastens with clips. A halo rests on a band around the head. Wild Child halos are Halo Couture, now Bellami.

What are the salon hours?

The salon is open 8 AM to 7 PM Pacific, every day. Individual stylists set their own schedules.

Where is the salon?

Pacific City, 21058 Pacific Coast Highway, M100, Studio 403/404, Huntington Beach, CA 92648.
