Tape-In Extensions
Medical-grade adhesive panels placed in rows. Lightweight, sits flush, washes like your own hair. Best for fine-to-medium density.
Click a neighborhood to read its drive time from 610 C Street and the typical lead time to the next open install block. The rings are ten-minute drive-time bands, not topographic contours.
Every install starts with a color-match consult under daylight bulbs. From there the install method is chosen against density, lifestyle and wash rotation — not the other way around.

Sewn wefts on a beaded foundation. The full-look method when you want length and density without weight on the hairline.
Individual strand bonds for the most natural fall. Bonds are heat-set; removal is solvent-based. Booked for clients who want strand-level control.
Bring a recent photo in natural light. We map root / midshaft / ends against the extension panels under daylight bulbs. Required before any install.
Tape-in clients on a 6-to-8 week rotation. Wefts on a 10-week rotation. Includes integrity check, root tightening, and trim if needed.
All install times begin AFTER color match. Wash kits and care card included with every appointment.
Three rows on a beaded foundation, midshaft heavy / face-frame light. Kept the front row 1 inch off the hairline so it sits clean under a center part.
Two-panel tape-in to add density without changing the cut. Color match took longer than the install — the natural shade had three tones running through it.
Two-pass install — first along the parting, then to fill density behind the crown. Heat-set strand by strand. Removal scheduled for late summer.
Booked the first slot of the day so the drive both ways didn't bookend a long appointment. Single panel along the crown, light blend through the lengths.
Pulled the old tape-ins, integrity-checked each weft, re-positioned 9 panels and discarded 2. Trimmed half an inch off the ends to keep them in spec.
Two rows, sewn low so the build line disappears under a half-up. Bumped lengths to mid-back. Foundation re-tightened after the first week — included in the install.
Margin notes from the studio, written before the cape comes on. If you've read them and still want to book — that's where we start.
Extensions don't fail because the install was wrong. They fail because the color was wrong and the client stops wearing them. Every install at the studio starts with a 35-minute color match under daylight bulbs. No exceptions. No phone-photo matches.
Hand-tied wefts are a foundation install. Bring them in for a season and they hold. Tape-ins are a rotation install — every six to eight weeks you're back at the chair. Match the method to your calendar, not the look you saw on a feed.
The first appointment is always a consult — not the install. We map density, growth pattern, lifestyle, wash rotation and color before we commit a chair to four hours of strand work. If a salon books you straight in, ask why.
We list only what is true of a licensed cosmetology studio operating in Alaska, and what is true about the install methods we run. Specifics about your appointment are written down in the consult — not before.
Licensed under the State of Alaska Board of Barbers and Hairdressers — required for any chair operating a cosmetology service in the state.
Hand-tied weft, tape-in panel and keratin-bond method training — installs are method-matched to density, growth pattern and rotation calendar.
Every install is preceded by a paid color-match consult. No same-day blind installs — the panels are matched against root / midshaft / ends under daylight bulbs.
Operating at 610 C Street, downtown Anchorage. By appointment only — no walk-in installs. Maintenance rotations are booked at the end of each session.
The chair sits at 610 C Street in the downtown Anchorage bowl — three blocks east of the Performing Arts Center, walkable from parking on 6th and 7th.
Drive times are studio estimates from 610 C Street under typical traffic. The Mat-Su and Girdwood zones book on a longer rotation — ask about Friday-morning blocks during the consult.
The first appointment is a paid color-match consult. We'll confirm by phone within one business day, and the install slot is booked at the end of the consult.
