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.

I had the most amazing experience at Siren Stylist! This was my first time ever getting hair extensions, and I honestly couldn’t be happier with the results. Caitlin and Emily were both incredible—so knowledgeable, professional, and genuinely kind throughout the entire process. They made me feel com...pletely comfortable and took the time to explain everything, which meant a lot since this was all new to me. My hair looks and feels amazing, and the blend is so natural. I’m beyond impressed with their work and so grateful I found them. Highly recommend Siren Stylist—especially Caitlin and Emily. I’m officially obsessed with my hair! read more
After a very long and frustrating experience with my previous extensions, I finally found this salon—and I genuinely cannot say enough positive things about them. From the moment I walked in, both Emily and the owner were extremely warm, welcoming, and kind. After everything I had gone through, I wa...s honestly nervous and embarrassed about the condition of my hair and extensions. Instead of making me feel uncomfortable, they immediately reassured me and approached the situation with compassion and professionalism. They took the time to thoroughly assess what had been done to my hair and explain why I had been having so many issues. I appreciated their honesty and transparency. It was clear they truly cared about fixing the problem the right way rather than rushing through a service. When they began correcting my extensions, they were incredibly gentle and meticulous. They worked to properly color match and blend everything so it would look natural and cohesive—something I had been trying to achieve for months. The difference in quality was immediately noticeable, not just in the color but in the overall feel and health of the hair. What meant the most to me was how patient and understanding they were throughout the entire process. Emily and the owner both made sure I was comfortable, checked in frequently about how I was feeling, and made it clear that my satisfaction was their priority. I left the salon feeling like a completely different person. My extensions are now beautiful, perfectly matched, and exactly what I originally wanted—low maintenance, natural-looking, and healthy. I am extremely happy with the results and beyond grateful that I found a team that genuinely cares about their clients and the quality of their work. I highly recommend this salon to anyone looking for skilled, honest, and compassionate extension specialists. They truly turned a very upsetting experience into a positive one for me. read more
Very clean and cozy salon. Cheyanne did a color correction on my hair as well as a trim. She did a PHENOMENAL job! My hair was definitely not an easy fix. I had a lot of natural gray root grow out, brown box dye, lighter ends, band of darker brown and then natural brown. Even with all that I was ple...asantly surprised with the results. We both knew it is going to take a few visits to get where I want to be but my hair looks so much better after just the first visit. Was given a free consultation and strand test before deciding to move forward. She took her time and did an amazing job. I’m looking forward to continuing to work with her. 100000% recommend!! read more
Caitlin’s Salon is awesome! ! I fly from out of state to get my
Hair done with Great Lengths Fusions. I always feel welcome when I’m there all day. The place is clean & cozy. I look forward every 5 months going to visit & knowing I’m going to look amazing when I leave!:) 5 stars!!
Khristen is extremely knowledgable and efficient. She can meet you for the first time and know exactly what to do to make your hair look its best and correct anything that you thought your previous stylist was doing right. Thank you, Kristen!
The Girls are very sweet. I went in and got keratin bonds. I’m happy with the hair. I will soon return for a re-apply. I contacted them a few days ago. So waiting to hear back on when I can return.
I had an absolutely amazing experience getting my first human hair topper at the salon. I was a little nervous because I suffer with hair thinning, yet the salon was a welcoming and hospitable place! I am so pleased with the results. Worth the drive from Richmond!
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 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
I was really nervous about getting extensions and did a lot research prior to getting extensions. This is by far the best place to go! Caitlin is amazing! She is knowledgeable and wants the best for her clients!

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.
