Professional Hair Extensions in Oakdale, PA

Hair extensions aren't just about adding length. At Plush Salon, we use extensions to add volume to fine or thinning hair, create fullness around the face, add pops of color without commitment, and help clients grow out awkward stages or short haircuts more gracefully. Whatever your goal, our extension experts will recommend the best method, match your perfect shade, and install them with precision for a flawless, undetectable result.

Tape-In Extensions

Tape-in extensions are one of the most popular and versatile extension methods available, and they're a specialty at Plush Salon. These extensions consist of thin, pre-taped wefts that are sandwiched around small sections of your natural hair, lying flat against the head for a seamless, comfortable fit.

• Quick Installation. A full set of tape-ins can be applied in 45 to 90 minutes, making them one of the fastest extension methods
• Lightweight & Comfortable. The thin, flexible wefts distribute weight evenly, so they won't pull or cause discomfort
• Natural Movement. Tape-ins lay flat and move naturally with your hair, making them virtually undetectable
• Reusable. With proper care, tape-in hair can be removed, re-taped, and reinstalled multiple times, maximizing your investment

Tape-in extensions at Plush Salon typically last 6 to 8 weeks before needing a move-up appointment. Most clients get 3 to 4 applications from a single set of quality tape-in hair.

Ideal candidates for tape-ins: Clients with medium to thick hair looking for added length and volume. Tape-ins work well with most hair types and can be customized for subtle enhancement or dramatic transformation. They're also an excellent option for clients new to extensions, as they're low-maintenance and easy to style.

Extension Maintenance & Care

Proper maintenance is essential for keeping your extensions looking beautiful, protecting your natural hair, and maximizing the lifespan of your extension investment. At Plush Salon, we provide thorough aftercare education with every extension installation, and our extension specialists are always available for questions and guidance between appointments.

Essential extension care tips:

• Brush gently and regularly. Use a loop brush or extension-safe detangling brush. Start at the ends and work your way up to avoid pulling on the attachment points. Brush your extensions 2 to 3 times daily to prevent tangling and matting.
• Wash with care: Use sulfate-free, extension-safe shampoo and conditioner. Wash in a downward motion rather than piling hair on top of your head. Avoid scrubbing at the attachment points.
• Protect at night: Braid your hair loosely or secure it in a low ponytail before bed. Sleep on a silk or satin pillowcase to reduce friction and tangling.
• Minimize heat: While most quality extensions can be heat-styled, excessive heat can shorten their lifespan. Always use a heat protectant and keep temperatures moderate.
• Avoid heavy products at the bonds. Oils, serums, and heavy conditioners can cause tape-in adhesive to slip and weigh down bonds. Apply these products only to the mid-lengths and ends.
• Keep your maintenance appointments: Regular move-up appointments (every 6 to 8 weeks for tape-ins) are crucial for preventing matting, maintaining comfort, and protecting your natural hair.
