Transformation Timeline

What to expect from consult to confidence.

No two journeys look the same—but here’s a general guide so you know what to expect when you start your transformation at Chelsea Extension Co.

💬 Step 1:  Consultation (Week 0)

We’ll meet one-on-one in a relaxed, private setting to discuss your goals, examine your hair/scalp, and choose the right method for your needs. You’ll leave with a clear plan and a custom quote.

🎨 Step 2: Hair Prep & Colour Matching (Week 1–2)

If colour matching or root blending is needed, this will happen before installation. Your extension or integration hair will also be sourced, customized, and prepped by hand.

✂️ Step 3: Installation (Week 2–3)

This is the big day! Your transformation is installed, blended, and styled with care. You’ll leave with a full aftercare guide and support plan.

🔁 Step 4: Maintenance & Move-Ups

To keep everything secure and natural-looking, I’ll recommend a customized maintenance schedule based on your method:

Method

Mesh / Meshless

Beaded Wefts

I-Tips / Nanos

K-Tips

Move-Up Schedule

Every 6–8 weeks

Every 6–8 weeks

Every 8–10 weeks

Not moved up — replaced

Hair Lifespan

6–12+ months with care

9–12+ months

6–9+ months

3–5 months

✔️ You’ll receive reminders when it’s time to come back in

✔️ I’ll check attachment points, replace hair if needed, and refresh colour or blend if applicable

💡 How Long Does the Hair Last?

With proper care, most clients get 6 to 12+ months out of their hair. Longevity depends on:

  • The method used

  • How well you follow your aftercare

  • Your lifestyle (swimming, gym, etc.)

  • Colouring and heat use

Because I source and colour all hair myself, you’ll always know exactly what you’re getting—no mystery batches, no surprises.

Great hair is a relationship,
not a one-time fix.
