Hair Extensions At Hotscope
Tape in extensions, matched to your shade and cut into your own hair so the join disappears. Added length, thickness or both, without the growing out wait.
- From $275Starting Price
- 2 To 3 HrsApplication
- 6 To 8 WeeksBetween Move Ups
Four Parts To Every Application
Extensions are only as good as the match and the cut. Both are part of the appointment, not an extra.
-
Color Match
Your shade is matched in natural light, including the difference between your roots and your ends.
-
Placement Plan
How many rows you need and where they sit, so nothing shows when you tie your hair up.
-
Cut And Blend
The extension hair is cut into your own layers, which is what stops it looking like extensions.
-
Aftercare Plan
How to wash, brush and sleep in them, and the date of your first move up appointment.
Choose Your Length
Extension hair is measured in inches from the join to the tip. Here is roughly where each length lands on an average height, measured from the top of the head.
- 14 InchAround collarbone. Adds thickness more than length.
- 16 InchJust past the collarbone. A natural, everyday length.
- 18 InchArmpit level. The most requested length for noticeable change.
- 20 InchMid back. Long, with enough weight to hold a curl.
- 22 InchPast mid back. Dramatic length for events and photos.
These are guides, not guarantees. Where a length falls depends on your height, your own hair length and where the rows sit, which your stylist checks at the consultation.
Who Extensions Suit
- Growing Out A CutSkip the awkward stage between a short cut and the length you actually wanted.
- Fine Or Thin EndsAdd fullness through the lengths so your hair looks thicker all the way down.
- An Event Or WeddingExtra length and weight makes updos and curls hold better for the day.
- Evening Out A Grow OutBlend uneven layers or one side that has grown faster than the other.
When We Will Say No
Extensions add weight to your own hair. If yours is very fine, fragile or already breaking, your stylist will say so and suggest a treatment plan first rather than taking the booking. Healthy hair holds extensions better and keeps them looking good for longer.
How The Appointment Runs
-
Consultation And Match
Your hair is checked for condition and density, the shade is matched, and you agree the length, the number of rows and the full price before anything is ordered.
-
Preparation
Hair is washed without conditioner on the roots and dried completely, because tapes need a clean, dry, product free surface to hold properly.
-
Application
Rows are placed section by section, kept clear of your parting and hairline so nothing is visible when your hair is up or blowing around.
-
Cut, Blend And Style
The hair is cut into your own layers, blended, then blow dried so you leave seeing exactly how it will look at home.
The Extensions Rhythm
Extensions are a commitment, not a one off appointment. This is the schedule to plan for before you book.
Brush And Sleep Right
Brush from the ends upwards twice a day, and sleep with hair in a loose braid or a low ponytail to stop tangling at the bonds.
Move Up Appointment
As your hair grows, the tapes are removed, cleaned and reapplied closer to the root. Skipping this is the main cause of tangling and stress on your hair.
Replacing The Hair
With good care, quality hair is often reusable across several move ups. Your stylist tells you at each visit when a set is ready to be replaced.
Living With Extensions
Most problems come from three things: conditioner at the roots, rough brushing and missed move ups.
Do
- Use a sulfate free shampoo and wash in sections, gently
- Keep conditioner and masks on the mid lengths and ends only
- Dry the roots and the bonds properly after washing or swimming
- Use heat protection every time you style
- Brush from the ends upwards with a soft bristle or loop brush
- Book your move up before you leave the salon
Do Not
- Put oils, conditioner or masks near the tapes
- Sleep on wet hair or with it loose and unbraided
- Pull, pick or remove the tapes yourself
- Use high heat directly on the bonds
- Tie hair tightly in the same spot every day
- Leave them past the move up date and hope for the best

Hair Extensions Questions
How Much Are Hair Extensions At Hotscope?
Extensions start from $275 and cover the application, the color match and the cut and blend. How much hair your look needs is the biggest factor, so your stylist confirms the full figure at the consultation before anything is ordered or applied.
How Long Does The Appointment Take?
Allow 2 to 3 hours for a full application, including matching your shade, sectioning, applying and then cutting and blending the hair into your own.
Which Extension Method Do You Use?
Hotscope applies tape in extensions, color matched and cut into your hair so the join stays invisible. If you are considering a different method, ask when you call and the team will tell you what is possible.
How Often Do Tape In Extensions Need Moving Up?
Typically every 6 to 8 weeks. As your own hair grows, the tapes sit further from the root, so they are removed, cleaned and reapplied closer to the scalp.
Will Extensions Damage My Natural Hair?
Applied with the right tension, maintained on schedule and removed professionally, extensions are gentle on most hair. Damage usually comes from skipped move up appointments, too much weight for the hair, or pulling them out at home.
Can I Wash, Swim And Heat Style With Extensions?
Yes, with a little care. Keep conditioner and oils away from the bonds, use heat protection, brush gently from the ends upwards and dry the roots properly after swimming.
How Long Does The Hair Itself Last?
With good care, quality extension hair is often reusable for several months across more than one move up. Your stylist will tell you at each appointment when a set needs replacing.
Can Extension Hair Be Colored?
Extensions are matched to your shade at the consultation rather than lightened afterwards. Toning is sometimes possible, but lightening extension hair is not usually recommended, so bring your color plans to the consultation first.
Ready For More Length?
Book a consultation first. Your stylist checks your hair, matches your shade and gives you the full price and upkeep schedule before you commit to anything.
