About Hair Extensions at Sunday Salon in Raleigh

Extensions that don't match your natural growth pattern, density, or the way you want to wear your hair rarely look convincing for long. In fact, added length or volume that's planned without accounting for what your own hair can actually support tends to show as visible rows, extra strain on natural hair, or a blend that looks obviously added rather than genuinely yours.

How Sunday Salon Installs Extensions

At Sunday Salon, hair extensions are installed row by row, working from the lower layers of the head upward, so each row sits hidden beneath the hair above it. This bottom-up approach is what keeps the blend looking natural and, more importantly, avoids visible lines where your natural hair meets the extensions.

What Happens Before Installation

Before any row is placed, Sunday Salon runs a thorough consultation to assess:

  • Your natural hair's density and growth pattern
  • The row spacing and amount of hair that can be added without strain
  • A row plan so you know roughly how many rows to expect and how they'll be positioned

Because of the precision required in row placement, this work is planned at the Master Stylist tier.

What Sunday Salon's Hair Extensions Include

Ultimately, every extension plan at Sunday Salon is built around your hair — not a standard formula. Here's what you can expect:

  • A row plan matched to your natural hair's density and growth pattern
  • Bottom-up, row-based installation designed to avoid visible lines
  • A consultation that sets expectations on row count and placement before you book
  • Precision-level work planned at the Master Stylist tier
  • Options for instant length, volume, or both
  • A plan that accounts for what your natural hair can support without added strain

How Are Hair Extensions Installed?

Sunday Salon installs hair extensions using a row-based method, where extensions are applied along horizontal sections, working from the lower layers of the head upward. Installing bottom-up means each row is hidden beneath the hair above it, which helps the finished result look natural rather than showing a visible line where the extensions meet the natural hair.

What Happens During a Hair Extensions Consultation?

A consultation assesses your natural hair's density and growth pattern before any row is planned, as these determine how much length or volume your hair can realistically support. You'll be walked through the row plan itself, roughly how many rows to expect, and how they'll be positioned before installation begins, so there are no surprises on the day.

Will a Row-Based Installation Show Visible Lines?

Not when it's planned correctly, the bottom-up installation order is specifically designed to hide each row beneath the layer above it. Visible lines are usually a sign that the row spacing wasn't matched to the client's natural density, which is why the consultation stage matters as much as the installation itself.

What to Know About Hair Extensions in Raleigh

A convincing extension result is decided at the consultation stage — not fixed afterward in the chair.

Warning Signs

Before booking, it's worth knowing what to watch out for.

  • First, if a stylist skips assessing your natural hair's density and growth pattern before quoting a row count, your extensions may not be sized to what your hair can actually support.
  • Similarly, if you're not shown or told roughly how many rows to expect before the appointment, you're far more likely to be surprised by the result on the day.
  • Beyond that, if extensions are installed top-down rather than bottom-up, visible lines are more likely to appear where your natural hair meets the extensions.
  • Finally, if added length or volume feels heavier than what was discussed at consultation, that's a clear sign the plan didn't account for what your natural hair could comfortably support.

Our Approach

Here's how we do things differently.

  • To start, we assess density and growth pattern before planning a row count — because that's what determines how much length or volume your hair can genuinely support.
  • From there, we install bottom-up, row by row, specifically to avoid the visible lines that come from skipping that order.
  • In addition, we plan all extension work at the Master Stylist tier, given the level of precision that row placement requires.
  • Most importantly, we walk you through the full row plan at consultation — before installation begins — so you know exactly what to expect, rather than finding out in the chair.

Sunday Salon's team of certified specialists pairs custom row installation with seamless lived-in color blending and dedicated extension consultations, rather than routing every request through a single stylist with limited appointment slots.

Frequently Asked Questions

How Much Do Hair Extensions Cost in Raleigh?

A hair extensions consultation at Sunday Salon is $50, with installation starting at $300 per row (a 50% deposit is required). Reinstallation starts at $300, or $350 with a blowout, or $425 with a haircut. Final cost depends on how many rows your plan requires.

How Long Does a Hair Extension Consultation Take?

It typically runs longer than a standard haircut consultation, since your stylist needs to properly assess your natural hair's density and growth pattern before recommending a row plan. Expect a genuine, detailed conversation rather than a quick look. Your stylist will walk through roughly how many rows to expect and how they'll be positioned before you book the installation.

How Long Do Hair Extensions Last Before Reinstallation?

This depends on your natural hair growth and how the extensions were cared for; your stylist can give you a realistic estimate at the consultation.

Can I Color My Hair Extensions?

This depends on the specific extensions and your natural hair color, and is best discussed at consultation alongside your row plan. Your stylist can advise on what color work is realistic for your specific installation.

Do Hair Extensions Damage Natural Hair?

Poorly planned extensions, installed without matching row spacing to your natural density, can strain natural hair. That's why Sunday Salon's consultation specifically assesses what your hair can support before any row is placed, rather than fitting a standard row count regardless of your natural density.

Do I need a consultation before getting extensions?

Yes, a consultation is absolutely required for all new extension clients! During this complimentary session, our certified specialists will assess your natural hair, discuss your dream length and volume, expertly match your color and texture, and order your premium custom hair.

Do you maintain or work with extensions installed by other salons?

To guarantee our standard of luxury and protect the health of your natural hair, our certified specialists only service extensions that were purchased through and installed at Sunday Salon. We do not perform maintenance or move-ups on outside work, nor do we install hair purchased from third-party vendors. If you currently have extensions from another salon, we would be happy to discuss safely removing them during your consultation to start fresh with a brand new, flawless installation!

How often do I need to come in for extension maintenance?

To protect your natural hair and keep your extensions completely undetectable, maintenance ("move-ups") is required every 6 to 8 weeks. During this appointment, we will carefully remove, move up, and secure your extensions as your natural hair grows out.

Can I wash, heat-style, and work out with extensions?

Absolutely! Our premium human hair extensions can be washed, blow-dried, curled, and flat-ironed just like your natural hair. We will provide you with a comprehensive at-home care guide, including brushing techniques and sulfate-free product recommendations, to ensure your extensions stay flawless at the gym, the pool, and beyond.

How long does an extension installation appointment take?

Flawless blending takes time! Depending on your current hair and whether we are adding volume, length, or both, a full installation generally takes 2 to 4+ hours. We offer complimentary beverages, Wi-Fi, and a luxurious environment so you can unwind during your transformation.

How does your pricing structure work for extensions?

We believe in upfront, transparent pricing. Extension investments are broken into two parts: the cost of the premium hair itself, and the cost of the installation and custom color blending. Because every client's goals are different, your stylist will provide a firm, accurate price quote during your consultation before any hair is ordered.

Will my extensions match my natural hair color perfectly?

Yes! The secret to undetectable extensions is a flawless color match. Our master colorists will custom-formulate glosses, shadow root, or balayage to ensure your natural hair and your new extensions blend together completely seamlessly.
