Types of Hair Extensions at Amoy Couture Salon

At Amoy Couture Hair, we specialize in modern, sophisticated hair extension methods that deliver both beauty and protection. Because we use our own line of premium human hair, we can customize every detail to your texture, color, and style preferences. With decades of experience in coloring, cutting, and styling extensions for women of all cultures, Amoy brings unmatched expertise to every transformation.

Sew-In Frontals and Closures in straight, wavy, curly and kinky, relaxed texture

Sew-In Extensions with Frontals and Closures

Sew-ins are ideal when you want to give your natural hair a protective style and a complete break from tension, color, and heat. At Amoy Couture Hair, each sew-in is crafted using high quality human hair that is machine-finished into smooth, durable wefts, then applied with a precise traditional sew-in technique for lasting comfort and style.

To create a natural hairline and realistic part, Amoy customizes each look with lace frontals and closures in various sizes and densities. A frontal extends from ear to ear, blending seamlessly with your extensions and allowing you to part or pull your hair back naturally. A closure is a smaller lace piece placed at the crown, completing your look with a flat, flawless finish.

Amoy Couture sew-ins are available in every hair texture, including textured, relaxed, curly, and kinky curly, offering a truly customized result that protects your natural hair while enhancing your personal style.

Clip In Hair Extensions

Clip-in extensions are an effortless way to add instant length and volume without commitment. They are ideal for special occasions, photoshoots, or weekend getaways when you want to elevate your look with luxurious, natural fullness.

At Amoy Couture Hair, clients can choose from custom 5-panel clip-in sets or clip-in toppers designed to add coverage or fullness at the crown. Unlike most clip-ins that come only in straight or wavy textures, Amoy Couture clip-ins are available in relaxed, curly, and kinky curly textures for a flawless, seamless match. Each set is made from premium human hair and carefully blended to complement your natural color and texture.

You are also welcome to bring your own clip-in extensions to Amoy Couture Salon. Amoy and her team will style your hair and install your extensions, no matter where they were purchased, to ensure a polished and natural-looking result.

Custom Lace Wigs & Hair Pieces

For clients who prefer versatility and protective styling, Amoy Couture Hair offers a curated selection of lace wigs and hair pieces with both bonded and no-shave options. Each piece is available in multiple lengths, densities, and textures to ensure a seamless match to your own hair.

We offer full lace wigs as well as 360 frontal wigs which are lace from ear to ear for beautiful parting and wefted in the back.

Although we usually have a few sample wigs at the salon, we do not carry a wig inventory. All of our wigs are either custom made or custom ordered. We will require a 50% deposit to order your wig and the balance is due when it arrives.

Wig Rentals are also available, inquire within.

Tape In Hair Extensions

Tape-in extensions are a quick and seamless way to add length and volume with minimal tension on your natural hair. Each panel is attached near the scalp using a lightweight, medical-grade adhesive that blends smoothly with your own color and texture.

While many brands promote tape-ins as a long-term option, Amoy takes a more protective approach. She recommends wearing them for shorter periods, ideally around 2 weeks, to avoid unnecessary stress on the hair and scalp. This makes tape-ins an excellent choice for special occasions, photoshoots, or for first-time extension wearers who want to experience added length and fullness before committing to a longer-term method.

Unlike most tape-in brands that only offer straight or wavy hair, Amoy Couture tape-ins are available in a full range of textures, including relaxed, curly, and kinky curly. Each set is carefully matched to your natural hair for a seamless, realistic finish.

How much do your hair extensions cost?

«

The cost will depend on the type of extensions you need, along with the length and amount of hair required to create your style. For an exact price, please schedule a consultation. Our service quote includes the cost of the hair (Amoy Couture Hair), the installation of the hair, custom hair color for your extensions to match your hair, and a haircut to blend the extensions into your style.

How long will it take to install my hair extensions?

«

The length of time it takes for installation will depend on the type of extensions and attachment method. Tape in extensions have the fastest application, whereas weft extensions that are sewn in place require the most time. The service time typically ranges from an hour and half to 5 hours, which includes the washing, treatment, blowdry, prepping of the hair, installation, blended haircut and finish.

Can you color my hair if I'm wearing extensions?

«

Yes, but there are limitations.  Your hair extensions will be color matched to your natural hair before they are installed. Once installed, I can touch up your root growth (color or highlights) or apply an all over color within a few shades of your color.

Which hair extensions are a protective style?

«

Not all hair extensions are considered protective styles.

Sew-in extensions with frontals or closures are true protective styles because your natural hair is completely covered and shielded from color, heat, and tension. This allows your hair to rest, recover, and focus on growth without breakage.

Tape-in extensions are gentle and lightweight but are not technically a protective style since the natural hair remains exposed.

Methods such as keratin bonds, hand-tied wefts, or beaded row extensions are not protective and are not suitable for everyone. These techniques can place added tension on the hair and scalp. While some of our stylists may offer these methods, Amoy Couture Hair does not promote or install them unless we are absolutely confident that your hair can tolerate them safely.

How long do sew-in extensions last?

«

With proper care and maintenance, sew-in extensions typically last six to eight weeks before needing adjustment or removal. The exact timing depends on your hair growth rate, scalp health, and how well the extensions are maintained at home.

Regular salon visits for cleansing and tightening help maintain both the style and the integrity of your hair.

What is the best type of hair extensions for fine or thinning hair?

«

The best hair extensions for fine or thinning hair are those without any tension on the hair and those that offer a protective style.

A sew-in with a frontal, closure, or topper can provide excellent coverage while giving the natural hair a chance to rest and strengthen.

These options are especially beneficial for women experiencing breakage, thinning edges, or hair changes due to menopause.

Amoy specializes in creating customized solutions for every hair density and texture, ensuring each client receives a natural, healthy, and confidence-boosting result.

How often do I need to come back to the salon for hair extensions maintenance?

«

Depending on the type you're wearing, your extensions will need to be adjusted every few weeks to avoid detection. It's a good idea to come back to Amoy Couture Salon after one month for a tightening of your extensions, if necessary. We also recommend weekly or by weekly maintenance. We'll do a professional wash, comb, and blowout and, while you're here, we can check your extensions to address any concerns you may have.

You will need to have your sew-in extensions removed and reapplied every 10-12 weeks. Wearing your extensions for extended periods of time without adjustment can lead to matting and permanent damage to your extensions.

How do I take care of my hair extensions at home?

«

Use the following tips as a guide to properly care for and maintain your new hair.

Maximize the Life of Your Extensions

  1. Be gentle. Be as delicate as possible, especially when brushing and shampooing, to avoid unnecessary shedding and tangling.
  2. Moisturize. Use products that are extra moisturizing and free of alcohol which dries out the hair. We carry products that specifically formulated for natural hair extensions, including the Amoy Couture product line.
  3. Maintain. Your extensions will “grow” along with your natural hair, so it’s important to come in for all recommended maintenance to keep your bonds invisible and avoid damage to your hair.

Washing Your Hair Extensions

  • Always brush your hair thoroughly before shampooing to remove any tangles.
  • Gently lather your shampoo with your fingers using a horizontal or downward motion. Do not scrub your hair up and down as this can damage your bonds.
  • Shampoo in between your wefts and help clean the scalp with our Amoy Couture Weave Scratcher.
  • Rinse your hair thoroughly with the same horizontal motion, being sure to rinse all shampoo residue before conditioning. Apply conditioner with a downward motion and massage into the hair using a horizontal motion. Rinse thoroughly.
  • After the gym or workout, rinse your hair with water. You don’t have to shampoo, but you should always apply a conditioner. Rinse thoroughly.
  • Once a week, apply a deep conditioning treatment. Keeping your extensions moisturized will keep them looking good and it will prolong their life.
  • Let your hair air dry or use a blow dryer along with a heat protectant.

Drying and Styling Your Hair

  • Before using a blow dryer, curling iron or flat iron, apply a heat protectant first. High heat can damage the hair but applying a protective serum can prevent breakage and avoid damage to the cuticle.
  • Brush the hair with a boar’s bristle brush to evenly distribute natural oils throughout the hair. We love Mason Pearson and Denman brushes.

Sleeping with Your Extensions

  • Never sleep with wet or damp hair.
  • To avoid tangling, braid, wrap or gently tie back your hair. Never sleep with your hair loose.
  • Use a satin pillowcase, or wrap your hair in a satin scarf, as cotton will absorb moisture and dry out your hair.

How do I wash and style my wig at home?

The integrity of the wig depends on how well you care for it in between maintenance appointments. Use the following tips as a guide to properly care for and maintain your new hair.

Maximize the Life of Your Wig

  1. Be gentle. Be as delicate as possible, especially when brushing and styling, to avoid unnecessary shedding and tangling.
  2. Moisturize. When washing or styling your wig, always use products that are extra moisturizing and free of alcohol which dries out the hair. We carry products that specifically formulated for wigs, including the Amoy Couture product line.
  3. Maintain. Routine washing is essential if you want your wig to last. You can shampoo your wig at home following the instructions below, or you can come to the salon for a routine wig maintenance appointment.

Washing Your Wig

  • Brush your hair thoroughly before shampooing to remove any tangles.
  • Remove your wig and place in a basin of warm water.
  • Gently lather your shampoo with your fingers and massage into the hair. Do not scrub your hair up and down as this can tangle the hair or damage the lace.
  • Gently massage some of the lather inside the lace cap.
  • Rinse thoroughly from inside the cap to remove all residue.
  • Apply conditioner and work into the hair with a wide tooth comb, avoiding the roots. Rinse thoroughly.
  • Gently squeeze out the excess water or blot with a towel. Never wring or twist the wig.
  • After the gym or workout, rinse your hair with water. You don’t have to shampoo, but you should always apply a conditioner. Rinse thoroughly.
  • Once a week, apply a deep conditioning treatment. Keeping your wig moisturized will keep it looking good and prolong its life.
  • Ideally, you should let your wig air dry. Once dry you can use a blow dryer on a low to medium setting to style it.

Drying and Styling Your Hair

  • Before using a blow dryer, curling iron or flat iron, apply a heat protectant to dry hair. High heat can dry out the hair but applying a protective serum can prevent breakage and avoid damage to the cuticle.
  • Avoid direct heat at the scalp as this will damage the wig’s delicate lace.
  • Brush the hair with a boar’s bristle brush to evenly distribute natural oils throughout the hair. We love Mason Pearson and Denman brushes.
  • If you would like to redirect the part, it is important to wet the hair first – just at the part is fine - and then make a new part and style as desired.

Sleeping

  • Always remove your wig for sleeping and place it on a wig stand to preserve its shape.
  • Make sure your wig stand is slightly smaller than the wig’s cap to avoid stretching.

Swimming

  • Avoid contact with chlorinated water or sea water as this can dry out the hair and damage the lace.

Salon Maintenance

  • Your wig should be thoroughly washed and refreshed every 1-2 weeks.
  • If your wig feels like it is slipping or stretched out, or if your wig is shedding excessively, please make an appointment and bring your wig to the salon.

What is a coif comb?

«

If you wear a weave, wig, extensions or braids, a lack of moisture can leave your scalp feeling dry or itchy. Now you can gently relieve your scalp in style and promote circulation and hair growth. No more head patting or pencil jabbing. This slim silhouette is flexible to get under the weft or braids and helps with shampooing.
