How to Choose the Right Extension Method for Every Client

Every consultation starts with three questions: hair density, lifestyle, and maintenance budget. **Fine or thinning hair** points to hand-tied wefts or nano rings — minimal weight, maximum discretion. **Active, gym-heavy lifestyles** favor sew-in wefts over tape, since sweat and oils stress adhesives first. **Low-maintenance clients** love tape-ins: fast installs, predictable 6-8 week cycles. **Commitment-shy clients** start with clip-ins — zero install, retail margin for your salon. Match the method to the client, not the trend, and retention takes care of itself.
