If you’re looking for the most elevated, natural-looking hair extensions in Utah, we invite you to schedule a complimentary consultation with our team.
In order to customize your extension experience, we need to learn more about you, your current hair, and your goals. You’ll begin by filling out a short application where you’ll upload a few photos of your current hair.
From there, you’ll have a phone consultation with one of our licensed extension artists. During this call, we’ll review your application, answer any questions, and go over next steps, including scheduling. You’ll also receive a customized quote outlining the full investment before moving forward.
Before you arrive to your appointment, your stylist will prep and custom color the hair extensions needed to achieve your desired result. When you arrive, the stylist will then customize your natural hair and your extension hair even further, to help ensure a seamless blend between your natural hair and the extensions.
We’ll start by sectioning out your rows for the unique and strategic placement, that is custom to your head. It is placed in a way that allows for maximum fullness, protects your fragile hair, and also allows for high pony styles. You be able to wear your hair up, as well.
Once your sectioning is perfected and customized, we’ll begin beading. Using beads and string (no glue or tape) to create the foundation of the extension track. Using minimal points of contact and purposeful placement we bead your whole row. This is where you’ll experience the magic of our method! (The minimal points of contact allow for ultimate comfort when the extensions are installed.)
After beading the row, we customize your row by strategically placing color wefts on the track of the extensions.
Once the extensions are placed, we stitch them to the beaded rows so they are snug, flat and comfortable. Due to our technique, the extensions become seamless once they are installed, and give you that natural look that you’re looking for. No one will know you have extensions, unless you show them! Unlike other extensions, they’re not bulky at all. Experience a lightweight and fullness like never before.
After installing all of your extensions, we customize your hair by cutting layers and texturing your hair, which allows the extensions to mirror your natural hair, so it’s blended perfectly.
To compete the look, we style your hair to fit your personality, using one of our signature styles – The Kollektiv Kurl, SK Seven Day Curls or our Blowout Luxury Bounce.
We love to document your hair progress and transformation by getting a couple photos of your new extensions are installed.
Natural Beaded Row (NBR®) is the newest, most natural hair extension method. Instead of tape or glue, we create a foundation using beads and string, then hand-stitch hand-tied wefts onto that beaded row. The result is a flat, lightweight, seamless install that mimics the way your hair naturally grows — adding length, volume and fullness without damaging your natural hair.
For most of our guests, yes. If you want fuller, longer, more voluminous hair without the daily struggle, Natural Beaded Row (NBR®) extensions are worth it because they are damage-free when cared for properly, comfortable enough for an active lifestyle, and customized to blend seamlessly with your own hair. They are an investment in both your look and the long-term health of your natural hair, which is why so many clients in Salt Lake City and across Utah choose NBR® and keep coming back for maintenance.
The cost of NBR® hair extensions depends on the length you want, how many rows you need, and the amount of hair required for your goals. We publish starting price ranges by length and number of rows in the pricing section on this page, and you will receive a personalized quote during your complimentary phone consultation before any appointment is booked, so there are no surprises.
Unlike tape-in or K-tip extensions, NBR® uses no tape, glue, or heat — the wefts are attached to a beaded row with thread, so there is no bulk, bonding, or adhesive that can damage fragile hair. Compared with traditional sew-ins, NBR® uses minimal, strategically placed points of contact for a flatter, lighter, more comfortable result that lays seamlessly and can be styled in high ponytails. You can also wash, brush, and blow-dry your hair normally, which is not always true with tape-ins.
With proper care, your NBR® extension hair can last roughly 8 to 12 months or longer, depending on the quality of the hair and how well it is maintained. The install itself is refreshed at maintenance appointments every 6 to 8 weeks, where we move the rows back up as your natural hair grows and refresh your color and blend.
Maintenance appointments are generally every 6-8 weeks and include all color and treatment necessary to achieve your extension blend. We will move up your extensions, and the entire process is painless.
There is little to no damage as long as they are cared for properly. This makes SK Hair Extensions a great option for those with thin, fine and fragile hair.
Yes! This is another pro vs. tape-in extensions. Tape-in extensions sometimes get loose if you brush them while they’re wet, so you want to make sure those types of extensions are always dried after washing. You can let your hair air-dry or you can blow-dry, then style and brush away! These will not pull loose as long as you are using a flexible bristle brush (think wet brush).
Pricing may vary depending on your goals, in which we can give you a custom quote during your phone consultation.
