Who Hair Extensions Are Best For
Hair extensions are ideal if you:
- struggle to grow your hair past a certain length
- want more fullness around the face or crown
- want dramatic length for a wedding or special event
- have thinning hair and want more coverage
- want highlights or dimension without chemical color
Types of Extensions We Offer
Keratin Bond Hair Extensions (Fusions or K-tips)
Keratin bond extensions are one of the most customizable methods available and work best for medium to thicker hair types. Because each piece is placed individually, we can add volume and length exactly where it is needed, creating extremely natural movement and seamless blending.
With this technique, small individual strands of extension hair are attached to your natural hair using a tiny keratin bond. A specialized tool applies gentle heat to soften the keratin so it can be molded securely around a small section of your hair.
Benefits of Fusion Extensions
- Highly customizable placement
- Minimal in-salon maintenance
- Ideal for adding extended length
Learn more about our keratin bond extensions.
Hand Tied and Genius Weft Hair Extensions
Hand tied and Genius weft extensions are a popular choice for adding fullness and length while keeping the extensions lightweight and comfortable. These methods work well for clients with fine to medium hair who want natural looking volume without bulky attachment points.
With this technique, rows of your natural hair are secured with small beads, and a thin weft of extension hair is sewn into the row. Hand tied and Genius wefts are known for being flexible, flat, and easy to blend, allowing the hair to move naturally and style easily.
Benefits of Hand Tied Extensions
- Lightweight, even with extra length and volume
- Minimal points of contact and maximum fullness
- Reusable hair with routine maintenance appointments
Learn more about our hand tied and genius weft extensions.
Volumizing Hair Toppers
Hair toppers are designed to add volume and coverage at the crown, making them an excellent solution for clients dealing with early hair thinning, part line widening, or loss of volume at the crown.
Unlike traditional extensions that add length, toppers focus on restoring fullness where it is most noticeable, helping the hair and part line appear thicker and more balanced. A topper blends with your natural hair and clips securely into place, creating natural coverage while still allowing your own hair to show through.
Benefits of Toppers
- Adds volume and coverage at the crown
- Lightweight and easy to wear daily
- A non-permanent solution for thinning hair
Learn more about our volumizing hair toppers.
Tape in Hair Extensions
Tape-in extensions, sometimes called tape wefts, are pre-taped sections of hair that are applied by “sandwiching” a thin section of your natural hair between two extension pieces using a medical-grade adhesive.
Because they lie flat against the head, tape-in extensions blend easily and move naturally with your hair. Their lightweight design makes them a great option for fine, thin, or fragile hair, especially for clients who want added fullness without heavier attachment methods.
Tape-in extensions are also popular because they can be installed relatively quickly while still delivering natural looking results.
Benefits of Tape In Extensions
- Gentle application, safe for delicate hair when applied correctly
- Faster installation compared to many extension methods
- Multiple band sizes and invisible weft options for maximum flexibility as we work
Learn more about our tape in extensions.
Clip In Hair Extensions
Clip-in extensions are a way to add length and volume whenever you want a fuller style. They are a great option for special occasions such as weddings, events, vacations, or anytime you want a little extra glamour.
These extensions attach with small clips that secure comfortably to your natural hair and can be easily removed at the end of the day. Because they are designed for short-term wear, clip-ins should be taken out before sleeping, swimming, or showering.
At your appointment, we install your clip-in set for the first time and trim them so they blend naturally with your haircut. We also show you how simple it is to remove and reinstall them at home.
Benefits of Clip In Extensions
- Ideal for all hair types
- Easy to install and remove at home
- Temporary style, no long-term commitment
Learn more about clip in extensions.
Fun with Hair Extensions
Clients love these options for homecoming, concerts, outdoor festivals...or even to show their team spirit at the big game. These can be attached using a hand tied, fusion, or tape in method. Even if you're already wearing hair extensions, they can be mixed in with any type.
Choose from:
- Tinsel, mylar strands
- Strands of crystals
- Beads
- Feathers
- Vivid and fantasy colored extensions
Just tell us about your inspiration and we can get creative together.
Wigs for Hair Loss and Style Versatility
Wigs provide a complete hair replacement solution, offering instant length, volume, and full coverage. They are often chosen by clients experiencing hair loss, thinning hair, or anyone who wants the flexibility to change their hairstyle without altering their natural hair.
Modern wigs are designed to look incredibly natural, with hand-tied construction and realistic hairlines that mimic natural hair growth.
At Siren Extension Studio, we offer premium wigs from trusted brands such as Jon Renau and Milano, known for their natural appearance, high-quality hair, and comfortable construction.
During a consultation, we help you choose a wig that suits your style, comfort, and lifestyle, and we customize the cut and shape so it blends beautifully with your look.

Brenna is the only person i trust with my hair. She has lightened my hair several times and it comes out perfect every time. Thank you brenna
Went for a consult with Caitlin and left with beautiful hair! So thankful she was able to get my extensions done on the same day as my consult and took really good care of me! I love my new hair and I feel more like myself than I have in a long time! Highly recommend coming here If you’re interested... in extensions! read more
Emily is absolutely amazing! She does my extensions, and I couldn’t be happier. She takes her time, pays attention to every detail, and always makes my hair look and feel incredible. My extensions blend perfectly and look so natural. Not only is she incredibly talented, but she’s also kind, professi...onal, and makes every appointment enjoyable. I always leave feeling beautiful and confident. I highly recommend Emily to anyone looking for an amazing hairstylist! read more
Emily is amazing and as a first time extension was able to teach me how to properly care for them with care. Looking forward to more experiences with them!
My stylist is Emily. She is amazing. She did such a good job. My experience with the salon was excellent. I would definitely recommend They are very knowledgeable. The people are very friendly and caring. I Give the salon five stars.
First, the place is bright and clean, good ambiance. Staff are lively and friendly. Breanna is very detailed and so particular of her craft. I am happy with my highlight, it is a crispy, neat, tidy, pronounced highlight result! 101% I recommend!
I’ve had multiple great experiences at Siren, with three different stylists. Everyone is always friendly and they’ve done an amazing job with my tape-in extensions!
I love my KB hair Extensions. I’ve never had them done before and absolutely loved them because it corrected a bad haircut that I had that left me With very short hair on the sides and top of my head. Now I’m thinking that I will always want these if I simply wanna add some length or color. I also l...ove the fact that they put the conditioner in the lightning bleach. My highlights came out pretty and soft and didn’t damage my hair. read more
I had such a great experience with Cheyanne! I went in for hair extensions and was honestly pretty nervous since I’m really indecisive, but she immediately made me feel at ease. She took the time to explain the process, answered all of my questions, and you can tell she really knows what she’s doing.... She did an amazing job matching and coloring my hair so everything blended perfectly with the extensions, and she finished it off with a haircut that completely brought the look together. Throughout the appointment, she kept checking in to make sure I liked everything and made sure I was comfortable by offering me water, sparkling water, and snacks. I absolutely love how my hair turned out, and the whole experience was so relaxing. If you’re thinking about getting extensions, I definitely recommend booking with Cheyanne! read more
I inquired about a service. I heard back quickly. I managed to get an appointment for a consult a few days later. I decided to schedule with them. I managed to get an appointment within a few weeks (which is spectacular as most places are booked a month+ out). I appreciated the quickness. Here’s the... zinger. The day before my appointment they cancelled on me. There was an emergency and I absolutely will not penalize their rating for being a good employer to their stylists. They gave me a few make up options. None of them worked for me. However, they did manage to fit me in, with a different stylist, within 15 minutes of my original appointment. I was a new client, so I wasn’t hard set on a stylist. These ladies went above and beyond. I felt like a princess having two people working on me because another one had free time before her client came in. They were polite, friendly and checked in with me a dozen times through the process to make sure I was happy from start to finish. I paid a premium price for a premium service, but I will absolutely drive 2 hours one way and go back again. read more
I originally booked a blowout, but as I talked with Cheyanne about a recent haircut that hadn't turned out the way I'd hoped, it became clear she understood exactly what had gone wrong and how to start fixing it. I ended up staying for a bang trim, and she made thoughtful adjustments that immediatel...y improved the overall look. I appreciated that she listened carefully, offered knowledgeable feedback to get me on the right path. I'm looking forward to coming back for balayage highlights and would happily recommend her to others. read more

While I didn't get extensions during my visit, I did get highlights, haircut and styled by Emily. She listened to what I wanted, did a fabulous job with my color and was so friendly.
They are amazing! I highly recommend them. My hair was thinning but it looks amazing now! The color match was perfect and I love my hair again!
Total transformation after losing my hair to chemo from breast cancer at 35 years old! I had lost so much and just wanted at least my hair back so I could feel like myself and these girls did it! What a boost to my confidence and happiness. Thank you!
Love love love Kristen!!! She always makes sure I have the most beautiful hair and is so so personable and positive. Best place to go!
She’s not only “a professional”, she’s THE professional. By far, the best K-tip extensions and color match I’ve ever had. Caitlin, thank you so much for helping me feel like myself again! I will definitely be returning ♥️.
I love this place. Caitlin is the best, warm, welcoming and professional. Everything she does is amazing! I love my extensions and the hair color!
Caitlin is amazing! I started going to her two years ago, and have been loving my long hair every day since! She did a great job assessing which kind of extensions would be best for my hair type (tape ins), and worked with me to match color and length. My hair always looks great when I leave the sal...on, and I adore the look she gives me as well as the low maintenance of tape in extensions. If you are even considering extensions a tiny bit, go visit Caitlin for a consultation! read more
Caitlin is the extension goddess. She transformed my over processed fine hair into beautiful, thick locks using great lengths hair extensions. I love it and my husband does, too. Check her out she will not disappoint. She’s a total badass!
Caitlin is one of the best hair stylist I have ever been to! I used her for all of my hair needs (fusions, tape ins, beaded wefts etc) and the magic she was able to pull off boosted my confidence like no other! My natural hair is very thin and fine. She was able to blend every extension in a way tha...t looked natural and beautiful (literally couldn’t tell I had extensions). read more
Had tape-ins installed with Caitlin. She did an amazing job and everyone at the salon is super nice and it\'s a very fun environment. After my complimentary consultation, I felt like I knew all the information that I needed and was able to book my install super easy. They are very upfront with costs... and what will be best on your hair type and style. My extensions blend so well, you can\'t even tell! I will definitely return again and again! read more
I had the best customer service ever. From the receptionist (I don’t remember her name) to Caitlin that did my hair. It was my first time having tape ins and it was beyond my expectations. I came for a consultation and Caitlin answered all my questions. I scheduled my appointment weeks later and I’m... in love with my hair! She did an amazing job. They even sent me a personal note with a coupon, what a great customer service. They don’t disappoint, if you are thinking to have extensions you should visit this place. They are all very professional and have great product. read more
Caitlin is absolutely fabulous!! I am always one for doing something wild with my hair, but she knew more about what I wanted before I did. We did what they ended up naming an "aquatic goddess" look. It was a deep blue with some light blue to throw a little pop in. I will post a picture when I get t...he opportunity! My extensions were "tape-in" and she blended them so well no one even knew I had them. They just looked natural! They are so personable there and when you come in to do something fun everyone in the salon is excited for your look, not just you! I will recommend her to absolutely anyone! Thanks for the hard work Caitlin you rocked it!!! read more
I've been sick since the beginning of 2018 so I lost a lot of hair due to all my meds. After lots of research, I decided I wanted to try keratin extensions to try to fill in my hair. I've never had extensions before (except the clip-ins for my wedding), so I was a little nervous at first, especially... since I have naturally curly hair. Caitlin walked me through everything I needed to do, and the girls at the front desk were awesome to answer any of my questions when I called. I told Caitlin I wanted the most keratin extensions possible, so she matched my hair, and did 30% of the extensions in an off shade to add some natural highlights to my hair. When I arrived for my appointment she was ready to go and took her time to make sure everything was perfect. She gave me a great shampoo to make sure my hair was super clean, then she dried my hair and got to work. I was worried that they'd be too heavy, or that it would be difficult to sleep. I have to say, it's a little heavier, but nothing like I imagined... I thought my head was going to feel weighed down and that's not the case. I purchased a satin sleep cap which definitely helped keep my hair from going all over when I sleep. When I saw my finished hair I was amazed at how natural it looked! I was originally going to cut it down to be shorter, but I think I like the long look and will keep it for awhile. I can't say enough good things about Caitlin! I feel fantastic, and I'm already getting lots of compliments on my hair! read more
I’ve been seeing Caitlin for the past two years and I will never go to anyone else! She has brought back the life to my hair. I have fine, thin, hair that’s difficult to process with color. She has managed to make me happy every time I come to see her. I also love the rest of the staff. They’re welc...oming and cheerful every time I’m there. Thank you Caitlin you are amazing! read more
Caitlin is the best!! She has been doing my hair for years, and really knows her stuff. She is dedicated and extremely passionate and does whatever she can to ensure her clients leave happy! Every time she does my hair I'm more than thrilled. Plus, she's friendly and you never have to deal with that... awkward silence while waiting for your hair to process. She really takes the time to get to know you not only as a client, but as a person! read more

Frequently Asked Questions
How much do hair extensions cost?
«We get a lot of private messages asking how much do hair extensions cost? As you can see in our extensions guide, there are several different types and brands of hair extensions to choose from. Although we can't guess at a cost without seeing and talking to you first, this much we can tell you. The cost will depend on which type and brand of extensions we use, how much hair we use, if we need to custom color them before we install, and if we need to adjust or highlight your base color before we install. It's impossible to ballpark an amount but hopefully this will give you an idea of how much hair extensions cost relative to each other.
| Type of Hair Extensions | Cost for Full Head |
| Clip Ins | $$ |
| Tape Ins | $$$ |
| Hand Tied Wefts/Invisible Beaded Row Method | $$$ |
| Keratin Tips/Fusions | $$$$ |

How much maintenance do hair extensions require?
«When you leave the salon, I'll give you instructions on how to care for your hair extensions in between appointments. The specific care and maintenance will vary depending on the type of hair extensions, but regardless of what type of bonds you have, you'll need to spend a little extra time each day to keep your extensions looking beautiful. I wear hair extensions all the time and if you ask me, the few minutes a day for a little extra care is well worth it.

Can you get hair extensions with short or thin hair?
«Hair extensions are great for "growing out" a short cut, adding length to hair that's hard to grow past a certain point, or adding back volume to the top of the head or around the face. As long as your own hair is at least 3-4 inches long and in good condition, you can get hair extensions.
Check out my Client Photo Gallery. You'll definitely see some short hair and thin hair transformations, especially with tape in extensions and Great Lengths.
Learn more about the different types in my Guide to Hair Extensions, which also includes top of head extensions, which are single piece hair toppers. More and more women are coming in for these easy in, easy out clip in pieces.
Can you get hair color and highlights with extensions in?
«Just to be clear, quality human hair extensions can be colored, but there are limitations. Synthetic extensions can't be dyed or lightened. Even with human hair extensions, we want to be as gentle as possible with your attachments. With your extensions in, we can do a root touch up or refresh your highlights as new growth comes in. We would be very careful to only color your natural hair, not the extensions. We can even do an all-over color as long as that color is within a few shades. It's not advisable to do heavy lightening or drastic color changes with your extensions in.
Do you cut hair extensions?
«Yes, it is absolutely necessary to cut the hair extensions once they are installed in your hair. This is what we call a "blended cut" and it is essential to trim the ends of the extensions, shape the perimeter of the style and add any necessary layers. It's included with the cost of my service. Without a blended haircut, your extensions won't look natural.
How long will it take to install my hair extensions?
«Well, it depends on what method we are using and if we're performing a hair color service along with the installation. Without any hair color, we can apply tape in hair extensions in an hour and a half. Installing the hair takes about 20 minutes, the rest of the time is for washing, drying, cutting and styling! Fusion hair extensions, because they are a highly customized strand-by-strand application, are an all day job! We take our time on every bond ensuring it’s not too tight or large for the hair it’s being attached to, providing you with the most comfortable and damage free extension experience for months to come! The results are well worth the time spent in that chair! ⠀
What are the best types of hair extensions?
«The best type of extensions for YOU depends on your hair. Here is a quick reference:
- Best for natural volume: hand tied wefts
- Best for fine hair: tape-in extensions
- Best for maximum customization: keratin bonds
- Best for occasional wear: clip-in extensions
- Best for thinning hair: toppers
What is the difference between Genius Wefts and Keratin Bonds
«Genius wefts are applied in rows using a beaded foundation and are ideal for adding volume and length quickly.
Keratin bonds are applied strand by strand using a thermal fusion method and offer the most natural movement and flexibility.
We’ll recommend the best option based on your hair type and goals.
Which extension method is better for fine or thinning hair?
«Keratin bonds are often the best option for fine or thinning hair because they are lightweight and can be placed strategically for the most natural result.
Tape in extensions can be a nice fit for fine hair.
Toppers can be the perfect way to add volume and shape to the top of the head.
In some cases, a combination of methods may be recommended.
How do I choose the right color for my extensions?
«Don't worry, we will help you. We will assess your natural color and your desired color during your consultation, then match you to the perfect pre-colored shades. We offer several dimensional, rooted, and balayage tones, so we can create a seamless blend that grows out beautifully simply using hair extensions. No chemicals needed. We can also adjust your base color and, within reason, we can adjust the color of the extensions before we install them. You will have a color you love.
