WHAT ARE THE DIFFERENCES BETWEEN HAIRWEAVING, HAIR EXTENSIONS, AND NON-SURGICAL HAIR REPLACEMENT?

What is Enhancement Hairweaving™ and what does it cost?

Enhancement Hairweaving™ (also referred to by the public as hair extensions) changes the color, length, and/or increases volume of the natural hair; clients should expect the finished product to look and feel natural and to stand up to the rigors of their lifestyle. Includes the design and application of not more than 2 combined hairweaving and/or hair extension methods. The method applied can be worn for approximately 3-4 months with recommended maintenance, if required. Clients may choose between three levels of high-end, human hair additions provided by Klassic's International; highest ends of Klassic's International's human hair additions may be reused at next application. Note: Enhancement hairweaving and/or hair extensions is not for clients experiencing hair loss.

Cost of Enhancement Hairweaving is $500 and up

What is custom hairweaving/hair extensions and what does it cost?

Custom hairweaving serves the same purposes as Enhancement Hairweaving, but can also serve as a hair loss solution. As with enhancement hairweaving, clients should expect the finished product to look and feel natural and to stand up to the rigors of their lifestyle. Includes design and application of not more than 2 combined hairweaving and/or hair extension methods, and the method applied can be worn for approximately 3-4 months with recommended maintenance, if required.

What is non-surgical hair replacement, or "hi-tech, full-coverage hairweaving" and how does that differ from Klassic's International International's other hairweaving and hair extension services? How much does it cost?

Just like hairweaving or hair extensions, non-surgical hair replacement provides clients with the same results as other hairweaving or hair extension services - the appearance of a full, free-flowing, gorgeous natural head of hair. The key difference is that instead of only integrating hair into the clients own natural hair, the non-surgical hair replacement is first created off the client's head as a hand-made full or partial prosthesis designed by Klassic's International to meet the client's exact head-size and hair/scalp requirements. Each strand of hair is placed into the prosthesis one strand at a time, providing clients with one of the most natural looks in hair additions. Non-surgical hair replacement "custom units," or "custom pieces" to which they are often referred, are typically requested by women who are searching for "hair that looks like it's coming right out of the scalp or hairline." These prostheses can be advantageous for women with seborrhea, psoriasis, or thinning/hair loss at the crown or hairline because they can be worn several months at a time and also allow the hair and scalp to breathe through the prosthetic base, thus helping to ease the discomfort of a client's scalp issues rather than exacerbating the problems.

These pieces can also be custom-designed to incorporate special requirements, such as the ability to work in conjunction with doctor-recommended topical medications.

Non-surgical hair replacement or "hi-tech full coverage hairweaving" is also a highly-requested solution for women searching for "celebrity hair" who do not have the required length or body in their natural hair in order to wear such styles. Custom full or partial units also include simpler requirements such as the illusion of a full scalp and hairline and natural yet illuminating color blend. Each piece can be designed to meet dermatologist-and-doctor-recommended requirements.

The application of the unit is worn for a approximately 3 months; units themselves last for a minimum of 6 months to 1 year with proper care and required maintenance and may be re-used at the next method application. Non-surgical hair replacement also provides full coverage and flexibility for styling, and extreme freedom of movement.

Cost of non-surgical hair replacement/hi-tech-full-coverage-hairweaving is $5000 and up.

How long does the initial hairweave, hair extension, and/or non-surgical hair replacement service last? Are there other services that last longer?

Many hairweaving services last 3-4 months, depending on method. Some customized services, such as non-surgical hair replacement full or partial units, can last longer with proper care and maintenance.

Photos of customers with methods worn a minimum of one to three months can be found in our Before and After gallery.

Will it look and feel natural?

Yes. Klassic's International uses only the best materials to ensure your hairweave, hair extensions, or non-surgical hair-replacement performs to the highest standard.

Can I use styling products? Can I shampoo it? Can I lead an active lifestyle (i.e. swim, workout, etc.)?

Yes. Instructions for maintaining your hairweaving, hair extension and/or replacement services are provided during the consultation and service appointment.

Do I need to schedule follow-up appointments for maintenance, and how much does it cost?

Many methods require maintenance to ensure your own hair and hairweave, hair extension, and/or replacement stays healthy and looks natural. Maintenance schedules vary from client to client as does cost. Generally speaking, cost for maintenance is $175.00 and up to $1200 and up. More detailed information on maintenance and pricing is available in your consultation.

HAIRWEAVING, HAIR EXTENSIONS & HAIR-REPLACEMENT: FACTS/MYTHS

I've heard that hair extensions and hairweaving can be damaging to my own hair. True or false?

True. Hairweaving and hair extensions can be damaging to the hair if not performed correctly. Proper research of the hairweaving industry is strongly encouraged.

Photos of clients who have seen an increase in hair growth as a result of Klassic's International methods are available in our Before and After gallery under "Hair Growth Success Stories."

I've seen hairweaving and hair extensions too often that just don't look natural and obviously are not the wearer's real hair. How can I get the hair extensions or non-surgical hair replacement I want and still look natural?

Inexpensive materials, poor design, inappropriate method, and lack of finishing services like blending, tapering, and layering all contribute to hairweaving, hair extensions, and non-surgical hair replacement services that not only look unnatural but also don't last the recommended three months. Depending on design, it may also contribute to damaging the client's natural hair. The key to avoiding the "hairweaving horror story" is to have hair addition services performed by a qualified hair replacement specialist who understands your specific hair and scalp needs.

Before and after photos of clients wearing natural-looking hair additions are available in the Before and After gallery. Proof of the hair-growth capabilities of Klassic's International's hair additions can be found in the "Hair Growth Success Stories" portion of the Before and After gallery.

A hair transplant is a form or hair replacement - is that true?

True. Hair replacement can be both surgical and non-surgical, however surgical hair replacement (also called hair transplants) should only be performed by a qualified physician.

Costs of surgical replacement should be discussed with a qualified physician; costs for non-surgical replacement at Klassic's International are available during your consultation.

It's not important for a stylist to have knowledge of more than one method of hairweaving or hair-replacement. As long as it looks good, method doesn't matter, right?

Wrong. Using an incorrect method not only means the difference between hair that looks natural and hair that looks artificial, but also may affect the health of a client's natural hair.

The problem with hair additions, even if they use 100% human hair, is that they aren't versatile.

True. Additional hair provides versatility in wear, but only if it's coupled with correct patterning, method and technique, and are placed on the client by a qualified hair replacement specialist. Once those criteria are met, 100% human hair can give the appearance of extra length or volume to a client's own hair, letting her achieve styling capabilities that are unrealistic with shorter or thinner hair.

Recommendations for styling are available during the consultation and service appointments.

I've had hair extensions, hair weaving, or non-surgical hair replacement before that looked great while I was at the salon. But once I tried to wash it, work out in it and swim with it I had a disaster. What makes Klassic's International's hair additions different?

Inexpensive materials, poor design, inappropriate method, and lack of finishing services like blending, tapering, and layering all contribute to hairweaving, hair extensions, and non-surgical hair replacement services that not only look unnatural but also don't last the recommended three months. Depending on design, it may also contribute to damaging the client's natural hair. The key to avoiding the "hairweaving horror story" is to have hair addition services performed by a qualified hair replacement specialist who understands your specific hair and scalp needs, can offer a variety of techniques, and uses only the highest levels of material and design to ensure that the hair additions can perform under the most rigorous lifestyles. For years, Klassic's International's clients have included athletes, working professionals, students, and celebrities, all of whom are searching for hairweaving, hair extensions, and non-surgical hair replacement that perform in the most active of lifestyles.
