Frequently Asked Questions


How much does hair enhancement cost?

Prices generally range between $300 and $650. This price includes the hair, service, and style. The total cost is determined by the type, quality, length, and in some cases, the color of your new hair. The cost is determined during the consultation. We even offer a FREE picture of your new style via email.


How long does hair enhancement last?

Hair enhancements last from three to four months in any texture of hair. However, they will need to be tightened every four to six weeks.


Do hair enhancements hurt?

There is no serious pain. Some may experience temporary discomfort during the tracking process.


Are hair enhancements uncomfortable?

No. If you are a true "glamour girl," you should only experience the joy of having the hair you want.


How long does it take to have the procedure performed?

It usually takes about four to four and a half hours. A tightening takes about one hour.


How soon can I get hair enhancements after a chemical service?

In the case of color, wait at least three days for color to acclimate. For relaxers, wait at least three days for the scalp to recover from the chemical process.


When should I color my hair: before or after?

Color your hair before your consultation. Be sure to wait three days for your color to adjust before your appointment.


Will I be able to shampoo my hair?

If you get an enhancement or an extension, YES! If you get a weave, NO.


How do I care for my new and enhanced hair?

At LA Hair, we provide you with written care instructions. Instructions vary depending upon the type of hair you choose.


Could you suggest after-care products for my new hair?

At LA Hair, we use 100% human hair. Therefore, any product(s) you use on your own hair is fine for ours. Our hair enhancements integrate fully with your own hair, since the hair is expertly matched for both color and texture. It is nearly impossible to separate the two.


I heard that the procedure is painful. Should I take medication for this?

No medication is needed. Nevertheless, some people choose to take painkillers if they have a particularly sensitive scalp. However, there is only minor discomfort during the process.


What are the benefits of using hair extensions, enhancements, and weaves?

Your added hair is easier to style and requires less maintenance than your own hair. Your added hair will dominate your hair, thus making styling quicker and easier. People of European descent will have to shampoo less often.


How will I know which hair/color/style is best for me?

We will be happy to assist you in your choices. You may also bring a picture or video to show us what you want.


How far in advance should I schedule my consultation?

For a specific event, call at least one month in advance. If you have no specific event, allow at least two weeks. You will need a consultation, and then it can take up to one full week to get the correct hair. We have many clients, and our calendar is tight, so allow enough time to make sure we get everything right. We do NOT perform last-minute work.


Which is the best method: Fusion or Hand-Sewn?

Hand-sewn does not use damaging glue or adhesives, nor does it use metal or plastic beads. It is the original, and preferred method by experienced hair enhancement wearers.
