Frequently Asked Questions
-
When performed correctly by an experienced professional, K-Tip installation should not damage your natural hair. The key is precision application and removal. With 26 years of experience specializing in women of color's hair, I prioritize your natural hair's health at every step—from the initial consultation through to maintenance. Each extension is strategically placed to avoid tension, and removal is done carefully to preserve every strand of your natural hair.
-
A full head K-Tip installation takes 5 hours or more. The exact time varies based on several factors:
The amount of K-Tips being installed
The size of your head and hair density
The type of installation chosen (invisible or traditional)
This is not a rushed service. The experience is designed to be calm, unrushed, and luxurious, because precision cannot be hurried.
-
K-Tip extensions require maintenance every 3-4 weeks. Each maintenance appointment includes:
Hair and scalp evaluation
Shampoo and conditioning
Precision styling
This regular care prevents matting, reduces tension on your natural hair, and ensures your extensions continue to look flawless. Maintenance is essential for both the longevity of your investment and the health of your hair.
-
That feeling of heaviness or visibility often comes from improper placement or using too many strands. My approach is architectural—I assess your hair's density, texture, and growth patterns before placing a single extension. The goal is always undetectable results that move and feel like your own hair. Every installation is customized; there is no formulaic approach here.
-
Yes. Over 26 years, I've worked with virtually every hair type and texture. During your consultation, I'll assess your natural hair's condition and density to determine if K-Tips are the right choice for you. For some clients, a different method may be better suited to their hair goals. My commitment is to honest recommendations—not just taking any client, but taking the right clients whose hair will thrive with this method.
