Want longer, fuller hair? Then hair extensions can give you the look you’ve always wanted. At The Refinery Hair Lounge in Middletown, we offer several extension methods to match your hair type and lifestyle.
We use premium human hair that blends with your natural texture. As a result, you can style, curl, and treat it just like your own hair. Our methods include hand-tied wefts and tape-in extensions.
Extensions aren’t just for length. In fact, many clients use them to fill in thin areas, add volume, or create fuller ponytails. They’re also great for adding dimension with highlights.
Hand-tied wefts work well if you wear your hair up often because they’re light and hard to detect. On the other hand, tape-ins install faster and are easy to maintain. We’ll help you pick the right method at your consult.
So what makes salon extensions special? Our stylists match your exact shade and place each piece for natural movement. Plus, we teach you how to care for them at home.
We serve Louisville, Prospect, Norton Commons, and La Grange. So book a consult at The Refinery to discuss your goals and get a custom quote.
Frequently Asked Questions
We offer hand-tied wefts and tape-in extensions. For example, hand-tied wefts are sewn onto small beads—they’re light and perfect for updos. On the other hand, tape-ins use gentle adhesive and install faster. At your consult, we’ll look at your hair and suggest the best fit for you.
Hand-tied wefts can last up to a year with move-up appointments every 6-8 weeks. Similarly, tape-ins need to be moved up every 6-8 weeks too. The hair itself can last 9-12 months with good care. So use gentle products and avoid too much heat.
Not when done right. First, we pick the best method for your hair type and avoid tension on your scalp. We also check your hair’s health at your consult. As a result, with proper care and regular move-up visits, your natural hair stays safe and strong.
Hand-tied wefts take 2-3 hours for a full head. In contrast, tape-ins take 45 minutes to 1.5 hours. Partial installs take less time. Your stylist will give you a time estimate at your consult. We don’t rush because careful work creates natural results.
First, use sulfate-free shampoo and conditioner. Then brush gently with a wide-tooth comb, starting at the ends. Also, keep oils away from the bonds or tape. At night, sleep with your hair in a loose braid. Finally, come in every 6-8 weeks for a move-up appointment.
Every 6-8 weeks. Here’s why: as your hair grows, the extensions move down. So we reposition them closer to your scalp. We also check the bonds and replace any worn pieces. As a result, this keeps your extensions looking fresh and prevents tangles.
Yes! Our extensions are real human hair, so you can curl, straighten, and blow-dry them. Just use a heat protectant and keep the heat on medium. For coloring, we suggest ordering hair that’s already your desired shade because this helps the hair last longer.
