How to Choose the Perfect Professional Hair Extensions

by Amazing Hair

Choosing professional hair extensions isn’t just about picking a method—it’s about achieving your hair goals. Whether you’re after extra length, added volume, or a bold new look, your choice of salon and stylist can make all the difference. At Amazing Hair, we’ve helped thousands of clients find the right extensions for two decades, and here’s our guide to ensuring your next hair transformation is flawless.

Start with Your Hair Goals

Before considering method or type, think about what you want to achieve:

  • More Volume: Add thickness and fullness to naturally fine or thin hair
  • Extra Length: Instantly extend your hair for a long, flowing style
  • Colour Enhancement: Blend highlights, lowlights, or creative colours
  • Special Occasions: Temporary styles for weddings, events, or photoshoots

Your stylist will help determine which extensions will best meet your goals and suit your hair type.

Why a Professional Stylist Consultation Matters

Consulting a trained stylist ensures your extensions not only look incredible but also protect your natural hair. During a consultation, a stylist will:

  • Discuss your hair goals and lifestyle
  • Assess your hair’s condition and texture
  • Recommend the best installation method for your needs
  • Guide you through colour matching for a natural, professional finish

Pro Tip: Extensions should always be colour-matched with your stylist. Mid-lengths are usually the best point for blending, and multi-tonal shades often deliver the most natural results.

Choosing the Right Salon

Not all salons and stylists offer the same expertise. Here’s why it’s important to choose a salon that installs Amazing Hair extensions:

  • Professional-Grade Hair: Salon-quality extensions last longer and look more natural
  • Trained Stylists: Stylists trained in Amazing Hair techniques can customise placement and installation
  • Maintenance Support: A good salon will guide you on care, removal, and longevity
  • Trust & Experience: 20 years of experience means your hair is in expert hands

When selecting a salon, ask about:

  • Experience with your desired extension method
  • Consultation and colour-matching process
  • Aftercare guidance and follow-up appointments

Questions to Ask During Your Consultation

To ensure you get the best results, consider asking your stylist:

  • Which extension method will achieve my hair goals safely?
  • How will my extensions blend with my natural colour and texture?
  • How long will the extensions last with proper care?
  • What aftercare products and routines do you recommend?
