Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about our services, booking process, and what to expect at Kinsley + Mane Hair & Extension Lounge in Alamo, CA.
Hair Extensions
Natural Beaded Row Extensions are a luxury hair extension method that uses small beads sewn into rows to attach wefts of hair. They are lightweight, low-damage, and blend seamlessly with your natural hair. They provide incredible volume, length, and a natural look that other methods simply can't match.
NBR Extensions require a move-up appointment every 6-8 weeks. The hair wefts themselves typically last about 9 months (give or take) with proper care and maintenance. We'll guide you on the best at-home care routine to extend their longevity.
Our Natural Beaded Row Extensions start at $1,450 and can go up to $3,000+ depending on the amount of hair needed, the length, and the complexity of the installation. We'll provide a personalized quote during your consultation.
Yes! We require a consultation before any extension service. This allows us to assess your hair type, discuss your goals, review your inspiration photos, and determine the best approach for your specific needs. Text us a photo of your current hair and your inspiration picture to get started.
When installed and maintained correctly by a trained professional, NBR Extensions cause minimal damage to your natural hair. Our stylists are extensively trained in this method and prioritize the health and integrity of your natural hair throughout the entire process.
Color Services
Balayage is a low-maintenance color technique, typically requiring a refresh every 3-4 months to maintain brightness and dimension. One of the biggest benefits of balayage is its soft, natural grow-out, which means you don't need to come in as frequently as with traditional highlights.
Color correction is the process of fixing a hair color that has gone wrong — whether from a box dye, a previous salon visit, or over-processing. Yes, we offer color correction services! Our experts will assess your hair and create a customized plan to bring your hair back to its best shade with precision and care.
A Brazilian Blowout typically lasts 3-4 months, depending on your hair type, care routine, and how frequently you wash your hair. It's perfect for the Bay Area's fluctuating weather — taming frizz and providing long-lasting shine and manageability.
