  • Why does it take 1 week to get my orders?
    It's all about logistics and quality control. SalonX receives hundreds of orders every day. We service each order in the order that they are received. We also store all of our inventory in climate/ static controlled warehouses in temperate states in the USA. Once an order is placed, the stock moves from our storage facilities to our fulfillment facilities in another state. Your order is then inspected for quality and order accuracy. It is then picked, packed and shipped to you. This is why it takes 1 week for you to get your orders. SalonX will never compromise quality for speed. "Slow, steady and consistent wins the race".
  • When will I receive my orders?
    All in stock products will be received 1 week from time of order.
  • When should I book my custom order clients.
    Book all custom order clients 5 weeks from time of hair order. This allows time to manufacture and has contingency time built in for shipping from India and custom clearances.
  • When should I book my install clients?
    We recommend that you book your install clients 2 weeks from time of hair order. Even though you will receive your orders in 1 week, we encourage 2 week bookings to mitigate any fulfillment/ shipping/ customs risks due to global unrest, COVID-19 and supply chain risks. If you stick to the 2 week rule of thumb, you'll never run into any issues with receiving hair from us on time for all of your bookings.
  • A. Do you have textured or curly hair extensions? B. What's the process utilized when applying the textures to your custom order hair? C. What products should I use to maintain your textured hair?
    A: Yes, we have 12 different textures that can be made into any of our product lines. B: We use a chemical-free patented steam process that changes the DNA structure of each hair strand. Our textures can last 6 months when you use the correct texture products and techniques C: We recommend textured products by Curl Shine
  • A. What's the difference between the 12A Luxe European hair and the 14A Elite hair? B. Can your hair be colored? C. How long will the color last in all your hair before it starts to fade? D. Are there any chemicals used during the processing of SalonX hair? E. Why would I choose virgin hair instead of Remy hair?
    A: The 14A has thicker strands of hair, 100% full healthy cuticles and an upgrade in dyes. The 12A is still better than 80% if the hair extensions on the market. The 14A is just on a different level when it comes to health and color vibrancy. B: Yes. But the correct oxidation process must be used, because our contains permanent dyes that are in the cortex of the hair C: Since all our color is deposited into the cortex, they should never fade or run. D: No. We are a certified vegan factory and therefore no chemicals are used in the production of our hair. E: Remy hair is mixed by hand from different donors. Not all Remy hair is compatible. Virgin hair is sourced from a healthy single donor. The hair is kept in its original form and of course will be compatible with the rest of the strands, because it’s not mixed with other donors’ hair.
  • What type of hair does Salon Xtensions use?
    Salon Xtensions uses European Virgin hair. Full cuticles are intact.
  • Does SalonX use latex or Formaldehyde on any products?
    Absolutely not. We use only natural vegan ingredients and all of our products are hypoallergenic.
  • What does "silicone infused" mean?
    We use an all natural silicone that is mixed in with our color and deposited into the cortex during the coloring process at our factory. The silicone does not cover or coat the hair. There is little to no visible shine, because it is inside the hair strands, instead of sitting on top of the hair. Silicone by itself, contrary to the internet jargon, is in almost every beauty product and is completely safe and harmless. It's when silicone is mixed with other chemicals that it becomes harmful. We don't use any additives with our silicone. It's 100% pure and natural. The infused silicone helps provide extra protection against UV rays, salt, chlorine and acids from body fluids. We recommend the infused silicone option for clients that are active. Clients that frequent the beach, pool and gym.
  • What is the difference between Virgin and Remy hair?
    Salon Xtensions only uses European Virgin hair for all of our product lines. There is a lot of misinformation surrounding these 2 very important terms. They make all the difference for hair extension lifespan, natural fall, color deposits, resiliency and manageability. Virgin hair is a superior quality hair than Remy hair. Virgin Hair: Virgin hair comes from a single healthy donor. It is naturally Remy, because the cuticles are naturally aligned. That's how hair grows naturally on your own head. All the cuticles are naturally grown aligned. There is no need for any factory workers to manually align the cuticles. Virgin hair falls the most natural, can accept color deposits better, holds textures longer and has a longer overall lifespan than Remy hair. Remy Hair: Remy hair comes from several different donors and the cuticles are aligned manually by factory workers. It is not naturally aligned and not every head of hair is compatible with another head of hair. There is no way of knowing how each donor's hair will react unless you wear them. Sometimes they don't mix well. You'll see this when you have some hair strands or patches of the extensions that perform differently than other sections in the same pack. This is because there are multiple donors hair in the same pack of extensions.
  • Can I color SalonX hair?
    Yes, you can. Please use the right oxidation process and the hair will receive the new deposits very well. Stylist recommendations are Redken and Pulp Riot color.
  • A. What can I do to prevent or alleviate dry and frizzy hair extensions? B. How can I prevent shedding with SalonX hair extensions? C. Can you style and curl your hair? D. How can I troubleshoot when shedding begins with SalonX hair? E. Can I perm your hair extensions?
    A: First, purchase and install a Jolie showerhead into the shower that you use to wash your hair. This will prevent mineral buildup on your bio hair and hair extensions. Mineral build-up blocks and prevents any hydrating oils from adhering to the cuticles or penetrating the cuticles into the cortex of the hair. Mineral build up will reveal itself 2-4 weeks by drying out the hair and the hair becoming unmanageable. Don’t worry, it is preventable and can be fixed by using a detox shampoo once a week and keeping to a strict hydration regimen of mask after every shampoo and conditioner. Recommended brands are on our website. B: Hydrate and brush. Repeat, repeat and repeat. Always use heat protectant to prevent burning the hair. Burned hair will shed. Dry hair will shed. Prevent those two things and you won’t experience shedding. C: Yes. Always use a heat protectant spray before using any hot iron or curling iron D: Hydrate and use a mask immediately. That will stop the shed. Also turn down the heat on your irons or hairdryer. E: We do not recommend perming our hair extensions at all.
  • Is my shower water important?
    Yes, very important. The goal for any healthy water source to drink or wash with is a PH of 7 (neutral). Any PH balance above or below level 7 should be corrected. Acidic or Alkaline levels can have long term adverse effects on your hair extensions, your own hair, skin and nails. Simple solutions can be the installation of a shower head water filter or by using bottled purified water to wash your hair extensions.
  • How do I use the K18 Biomimetic Hair Science Shampoo's and Hair Mask?
    It is important that the K18 line is used from the very first wash of your new SalonX hair extensions and throughout the maintenance process at home. This will ensure sufficient hydration and protection from the daily elements. Remember to always use a showerhead water filter to limit the amount hard water mineral build up on your hair. Washing: - Wash/ Shampoo your hair no more than 3x per week. 2x weekly shampooing will utilize the K18 PH Shampoo. - One of those 3 washes every week, you will utilize the K18 Detox Shampoo. The K18 Detox Shampoo when used 1x per week, will remove any product build up/ hard water minerals left over from your showerhead filter. It will also help reset your hair's PH. Conditioning: - use the K18 leave in mask after every Shampoo treatment. Water Temperatures: Water temperatures are important when cleaning hair extensions. Rule of thumb, use Luke-warm water when shampooing and always rinse in cold water.
  • How often should I wash hair extensions?
    Hair extensions should be washed at least as possible. No more than 3x per week. They don't get as dirty as you may think, especially if the client is brushing the hair extensions properly and regularly. Over washing will unnecessarily dry out the hair extensions and make them unmanageable. Don't forget to use purified water!
