Fusion Hair Extensions
Keratin bond fusion hair extensions are highly customizable and require minimal in salon maintenance. For a hair extensions stylist, fusions are the ultimate in creative control. Not only do they last up to 5-6 months, they are ideal for adding lots of length, come in 50+ pre-customized colors, and using varied attachment sizes, they can add volume around the hairline and crown without detection.

Who can wear fusion extensions?
Fusion hair extensions come in a "body wave" texture and are best for medium to thicker hair types. I usually don't recommend fusion hair extensions for fine or thinning hair. Those with delicate hair types or hose with that baby fine, slippery hair, I would suggest Tape-In hair extensions for best results.

How are Fusion Hair Extensions installed?
Fusion hair extensions are fitted using a thermal application. Each band of hair is fitted with a keratin bond and using low heat, the extensions will be ‘fused’ to very small sections of your natural hair. These tiny keratin bonds, known as the fusion bond, are very discreet and matte in texture. You'll get a beautiful, natural look and no one will know they are there.
Will Fusion Extensions damage my hair?
It is important to choose a certified hair extensions stylist with experience applying, adjusting and removing fusion hair extensions. Applied properly, these keratin bond extensions are perfectly safe and if you follow my home care instructions, you won't have any problems. Honestly, most of the damage I see from fusion extensions are from trying to remove the bonds at home (never do that, please) or from neglect, and that includes keeping them in too long.
In Salon Maintenance for Fusion Extensions
Unlike other types of hair extensions that require "move up" appointments, fusion hair extensions are a one time wear. Instead of a move up, you'll come in for a checkup. At around 6-8 weeks, the halfway point in the life of your fusions, you'll come in for a bond check. I'll inspect each bonds to make sure there are no tangles or matting, paying close attention for any shed hairs that are trapped in the bonds. It's perfectly natural to find these long loose hairs and I'll gently trim those away. After a bond check, I'll shampoo your hair and blow dry. And because you're at the halfway point, we'll talk about what happens next. Removal or a new set. Learn more about hair extensions maintenance.

I customize your fusion extensions in one of two ways, or a combination of both. I can match your hair and desired color to our selection of 55+ pre-colored shades, I can mix and match packs of hair to add highlights, or I can color the extensions if necessary before I install them. After all, they are made of top quality 100% Remy human hair, so they can be dyed and highlighted just like your natural hair.
- Natural shades from dark to platinum
- Rooted, ombre and balayage looks with dark root to light ends

How much do Fusion Hair Extensions Cost?

Some of my favorite Before & Afters using Fusion Hair Extensions
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!

Do hair extensions require a lot of upkeep?
«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.

Will hair extensions work on short, fine 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 color my hair with my 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! ⠀
