Questions and Answers about Hair Extensions

Q. What makes Bea's Braiding and Hair Extensions Salon unique and most highly recommended?

A. There are several reasons why Bea's is the preferred hair extension salon for so many people. First, the staff, (and yes they are the best in the whole wide world. This is what the customers say). Second, is the owner Bea with over 28 years of experience in doing hair extensions in Calgary and surrounding areas. Third, is the 3000 sq. ft. Victorian style house that has been converted into a commercial hair salon, located on 17th Ave almost a stone throw from the Calgary Stampede grounds and Victoria Park LRT station. Fourth, and most important is the quality, variety and large selection of human and synthetic hair and wigs available at all times. At Bea's we also use the highest quality of European and Italian hair, which are hand wefted on site.

Q. What are Hair Extensions?

A. They are appendages of 100% human or monofilament hairs that are attached from the base of your hair next to the scalp to create instant thickness, texture and length. Once applied, they can be styled, washed and in most cases treated like the rest of your own hair.

Q. Why and When Does Hair Extensions or Wigs become necessary?

A. Too many reasons. Here are a few:

If your hair is too fine and you struggle and fuss each day trying to force it to do what it simply can't do.
If your hair simply does not grow and you get frustrated watching it at a stand still.
If you are going on a vacation and have not time to deal with your own hair.
If you just want to add volume, streaks, thickness or just plain have fun.
If you have undergone chemotherapy and are awaiting the growth of your new hair.
If you suffer from Alopecial, Lupis or Tricotilamania and need patches of hair to replace what has been lost.

Q. How much do hair extensions cost?

A. This is by far the most common question asked by customers and yet the most difficult to be answered by hair extensioners. It is almost the same as calling a car dealer and asking how much is a car? The price of hair extensions depends on a number of things.

The length, thickness and type of hairstyle that one has plays a big roll in pricing.
The quality of hair to be used.
Regular Chinese or Indonesian machine wefted hair applied in the weaving method can average $200.00-$500.00.
Indian machine wefted hair applied in the weaving method can average $300.00-$600.00.
European and Italian hand wefted human hair is the most expensive and the price can average anywhere from $500.00-$1,000.00.

Q. Will hair extensions damage my own hair?

A. No! In most cases it will help your own hair to grow even better. This depends of course if the hair extensions are properly applied by a well-experienced hair extension practitioner, and if you follow the proper procedures for care and maintenance as outlined for you.

Q. What are the different techniques used in extensions?

In conclusion hair extensions and wigs have become advantageous to everyone including, children, mainstream moms in the suburbs, men and women in the entertainment field, older men and women who are losing their hair with age and people with so may health conditions. In most cases the benefits of having hair added reduces stress, creates a good feeling, raises self-esteem and by far the advantages of having them outweighs any disadvantages recorded.
