Hair Extensions, Toppers & Wigs
Siren Extension Studio offers professionally applied hair extensions for length, volume, dimensional color, fine hair, and post-treatment regrowth. Our extension methods include hand tied wefts, keratin bond extensions, and tape-in extensions, with options selected according to your natural hair, lifestyle, and desired result.
We also provide custom halos, clip-in extensions, human hair toppers, and human hair and heat-defiant synthetic wigs for clients who want removable hair, top-of-head coverage, or a more complete hair replacement solution. Our team is experienced in color matching, custom blending, extension maintenance, safe removal, and correcting extension work originally performed elsewhere.

Hair Color & Salon Services
Siren is also a full-service hair salon offering dimensional hair color, balayage, precision haircuts, Brazilian Blowouts, and wedding hair. Because our stylists work in both hair color and extensions, we can blend natural hair with added hair or create highlights, lowlights, and dimensional balayage effects using extensions without lightening the client’s natural hair.
Start with a Free Hair Extensions Consultation
Not sure which type of hair extension is right for you? During your complimentary consultation, we will assess your natural hair, discuss the result you want, and explain which methods are appropriate for your hair texture, density, lifestyle, and maintenance preferences.
We will also color match your hair, estimate how much hair you will need, and provide personalized pricing before you decide whether to move forward.
Hand Tied Weft Extensions
Hand tied weft extensions are ideal for adding substantial length and volume while keeping the attachment flat and discreet. Lightweight wefts are sewn onto a concealed beaded foundation, distributing the added hair across each row for a comfortable, natural-looking result.
Siren uses lightweight genius and hand-finished wefts from Siren Signature Extensions and Coco Marie. Options are available for fine or thick hair, custom color blending, and extended lengths up to 28 inches.
Keratin Bond Extensions
Keratin bond extensions, also known as K-tips or fusion extensions, are applied strand by strand for natural movement and flexible styling. The individual bonds allow an experienced extension stylist to customize the placement, density, length, and color throughout the hair.
K-tips are a long-wearing option that can remain in place for approximately three to five months without move-up appointments. Siren’s team is certified in Great Lengths keratin bond extensions and also installs Siren Signature Extensions, our own collection of keratin-bonded human hair.
Chemo Girls Extensions for Post-Chemotherapy Regrowth
Chemo Girls micro fusion extensions are designed for clients rebuilding their hair after chemotherapy. The lightweight strands and tiny, transparent bonds allow the added hair to be carefully distributed throughout short, delicate regrowth.
Some clients may become candidates once their natural hair has reached approximately two inches and is strong enough to support extensions. The hair is removed and reapplied during maintenance appointments and may be reused for up to one year.
Caitlin, Emily, Cheyanne, and Brenna have been personally trained by Chemo Girls founder Jon Richards in this specialized application. Siren also offers private consultations before, during, or after treatment to discuss extensions, wigs, toppers, halos, and other options based on each client’s hair and stage of regrowth. If you are preparing to begin treatment, read our guide to hair options during chemotherapy and regrowth.
Human Hair Toppers
Hair toppers are removable hairpieces designed to add coverage and volume at the part, crown, or top of the head. They may be an appropriate option for women experiencing localized thinning or hair loss who need more coverage than conventional extensions can provide but do not require a full wig.
Siren offers clip-in toppers in different base sizes, lengths, colors, and levels of coverage, including human hair and heat-defiant synthetic options. During a private consultation, we assess the area that needs coverage, help you select and order the right piece, and then customize the color, cut, and style so it blends naturally with your own hair.
We keep several sample toppers in the salon so you can see the construction, feel the hair, and try different coverage options before ordering.
Tape In Extensions
Tape-in extensions use thin sections of extension hair attached close to the scalp with flexible adhesive tabs. Their lightweight, flat construction makes them a versatile option for adding length and volume, including for many clients with fine or thin hair.
A full tape-in application can typically be completed in about an hour. The extensions are removed and repositioned every six to eight weeks as the natural hair grows. With proper care, the same hair may be reapplied several times for approximately five to six months of total wear.
The quality of the adhesive is just as important as the quality of the hair. Siren uses GL Tapes by Great Lengths because the flexible tabs provide a secure attachment while allowing for controlled professional removal with minimal residue.
Clip In Extensions
Clip-in hair extensions provide removable length, volume, or dimensional color without the maintenance or commitment of permanently attached extensions. They can be worn for weddings and special occasions, used to add fullness to an updo or ponytail, or applied whenever you want to temporarily change your hair.
Siren offers high-quality human hair clip-ins from HairDo by HairUWear. We professionally color match the hair, customize the cut and shape, label each piece, and teach you how to position, apply, and remove your extensions at home.
Already own clip-in extensions? Bring them to the salon and we can assess the color and density, trim them to blend more naturally, and show you the best placement for your hair.
Human Hair Wigs & Heat Defiant Synthetic Wigs
Siren provides private wig consultations for women experiencing thinning hair, advanced hair loss, chemotherapy-related hair loss, or other medical and nonmedical changes to their hair. We offer human hair wigs and heat-defiant synthetic wigs in a range of colors, lengths, textures, cap constructions, and price points.
During your consultation, we discuss your lifestyle, styling preferences, desired level of maintenance, and budget. We take measurements, help you compare cap styles and hair types, and recommend the size, color, and construction that will provide a secure, comfortable fit and natural-looking hairline.
Wigs are ordered specifically for each client rather than stocked in the salon. When your wig arrives, we can define the part, customize the cut and color when appropriate, add face-framing details, and teach you how to wear and care for it. We can also customize or improve the fit of a wig purchased elsewhere.
Caitlin is a certified wig specialist with more than 10 years of experience helping women select, fit, and personalize human hair and synthetic wigs.

Brenna is the only person i trust with my hair. She has lightened my hair several times and it comes out perfect every time. Thank you brenna
Went for a consult with Caitlin and left with beautiful hair! So thankful she was able to get my extensions done on the same day as my consult and took really good care of me! I love my new hair and I feel more like myself than I have in a long time! Highly recommend coming here If you’re interested... in extensions! read more
Emily is absolutely amazing! She does my extensions, and I couldn’t be happier. She takes her time, pays attention to every detail, and always makes my hair look and feel incredible. My extensions blend perfectly and look so natural. Not only is she incredibly talented, but she’s also kind, professi...onal, and makes every appointment enjoyable. I always leave feeling beautiful and confident. I highly recommend Emily to anyone looking for an amazing hairstylist! read more
Emily is amazing and as a first time extension was able to teach me how to properly care for them with care. Looking forward to more experiences with them!
My stylist is Emily. She is amazing. She did such a good job. My experience with the salon was excellent. I would definitely recommend They are very knowledgeable. The people are very friendly and caring. I Give the salon five stars.
First, the place is bright and clean, good ambiance. Staff are lively and friendly. Breanna is very detailed and so particular of her craft. I am happy with my highlight, it is a crispy, neat, tidy, pronounced highlight result! 101% I recommend!
I’ve had multiple great experiences at Siren, with three different stylists. Everyone is always friendly and they’ve done an amazing job with my tape-in extensions!
I love my KB hair Extensions. I’ve never had them done before and absolutely loved them because it corrected a bad haircut that I had that left me With very short hair on the sides and top of my head. Now I’m thinking that I will always want these if I simply wanna add some length or color. I also l...ove the fact that they put the conditioner in the lightning bleach. My highlights came out pretty and soft and didn’t damage my hair. read more
I had such a great experience with Cheyanne! I went in for hair extensions and was honestly pretty nervous since I’m really indecisive, but she immediately made me feel at ease. She took the time to explain the process, answered all of my questions, and you can tell she really knows what she’s doing.... She did an amazing job matching and coloring my hair so everything blended perfectly with the extensions, and she finished it off with a haircut that completely brought the look together. Throughout the appointment, she kept checking in to make sure I liked everything and made sure I was comfortable by offering me water, sparkling water, and snacks. I absolutely love how my hair turned out, and the whole experience was so relaxing. If you’re thinking about getting extensions, I definitely recommend booking with Cheyanne! read more
I inquired about a service. I heard back quickly. I managed to get an appointment for a consult a few days later. I decided to schedule with them. I managed to get an appointment within a few weeks (which is spectacular as most places are booked a month+ out). I appreciated the quickness. Here’s the... zinger. The day before my appointment they cancelled on me. There was an emergency and I absolutely will not penalize their rating for being a good employer to their stylists. They gave me a few make up options. None of them worked for me. However, they did manage to fit me in, with a different stylist, within 15 minutes of my original appointment. I was a new client, so I wasn’t hard set on a stylist. These ladies went above and beyond. I felt like a princess having two people working on me because another one had free time before her client came in. They were polite, friendly and checked in with me a dozen times through the process to make sure I was happy from start to finish. I paid a premium price for a premium service, but I will absolutely drive 2 hours one way and go back again. read more
I originally booked a blowout, but as I talked with Cheyanne about a recent haircut that hadn't turned out the way I'd hoped, it became clear she understood exactly what had gone wrong and how to start fixing it. I ended up staying for a bang trim, and she made thoughtful adjustments that immediatel...y improved the overall look. I appreciated that she listened carefully, offered knowledgeable feedback to get me on the right path. I'm looking forward to coming back for balayage highlights and would happily recommend her to others. read more
Caitlin matched my clip in extensions perfectly and I got to have luscious, long bridal hair on my special day! Truly such a great experience and felt beautiful
I had the most amazing experience at Siren Stylist! This was my first time ever getting hair extensions, and I honestly couldn’t be happier with the results. Caitlin and Emily were both incredible—so knowledgeable, professional, and genuinely kind throughout the entire process. They made me feel com...pletely comfortable and took the time to explain everything, which meant a lot since this was all new to me. My hair looks and feels amazing, and the blend is so natural. I’m beyond impressed with their work and so grateful I found them. Highly recommend Siren Stylist—especially Caitlin and Emily. I’m officially obsessed with my hair! read more
After a very long and frustrating experience with my previous extensions, I finally found this salon—and I genuinely cannot say enough positive things about them. From the moment I walked in, both Emily and the owner were extremely warm, welcoming, and kind. After everything I had gone through, I wa...s honestly nervous and embarrassed about the condition of my hair and extensions. Instead of making me feel uncomfortable, they immediately reassured me and approached the situation with compassion and professionalism. They took the time to thoroughly assess what had been done to my hair and explain why I had been having so many issues. I appreciated their honesty and transparency. It was clear they truly cared about fixing the problem the right way rather than rushing through a service. When they began correcting my extensions, they were incredibly gentle and meticulous. They worked to properly color match and blend everything so it would look natural and cohesive—something I had been trying to achieve for months. The difference in quality was immediately noticeable, not just in the color but in the overall feel and health of the hair. What meant the most to me was how patient and understanding they were throughout the entire process. Emily and the owner both made sure I was comfortable, checked in frequently about how I was feeling, and made it clear that my satisfaction was their priority. I left the salon feeling like a completely different person. My extensions are now beautiful, perfectly matched, and exactly what I originally wanted—low maintenance, natural-looking, and healthy. I am extremely happy with the results and beyond grateful that I found a team that genuinely cares about their clients and the quality of their work. I highly recommend this salon to anyone looking for skilled, honest, and compassionate extension specialists. They truly turned a very upsetting experience into a positive one for me. read more

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!
Caitlin is amazing! I started going to her two years ago, and have been loving my long hair every day since! She did a great job assessing which kind of extensions would be best for my hair type (tape ins), and worked with me to match color and length. My hair always looks great when I leave the sal...on, and I adore the look she gives me as well as the low maintenance of tape in extensions. If you are even considering extensions a tiny bit, go visit Caitlin for a consultation! read more
Caitlin is the extension goddess. She transformed my over processed fine hair into beautiful, thick locks using great lengths hair extensions. I love it and my husband does, too. Check her out she will not disappoint. She’s a total badass!
Caitlin is one of the best hair stylist I have ever been to! I used her for all of my hair needs (fusions, tape ins, beaded wefts etc) and the magic she was able to pull off boosted my confidence like no other! My natural hair is very thin and fine. She was able to blend every extension in a way tha...t looked natural and beautiful (literally couldn’t tell I had extensions). read more
Had tape-ins installed with Caitlin. She did an amazing job and everyone at the salon is super nice and it\'s a very fun environment. After my complimentary consultation, I felt like I knew all the information that I needed and was able to book my install super easy. They are very upfront with costs... and what will be best on your hair type and style. My extensions blend so well, you can\'t even tell! I will definitely return again and again! read more
I had the best customer service ever. From the receptionist (I don’t remember her name) to Caitlin that did my hair. It was my first time having tape ins and it was beyond my expectations. I came for a consultation and Caitlin answered all my questions. I scheduled my appointment weeks later and I’m... in love with my hair! She did an amazing job. They even sent me a personal note with a coupon, what a great customer service. They don’t disappoint, if you are thinking to have extensions you should visit this place. They are all very professional and have great product. read more
Caitlin is absolutely fabulous!! I am always one for doing something wild with my hair, but she knew more about what I wanted before I did. We did what they ended up naming an "aquatic goddess" look. It was a deep blue with some light blue to throw a little pop in. I will post a picture when I get t...he opportunity! My extensions were "tape-in" and she blended them so well no one even knew I had them. They just looked natural! They are so personable there and when you come in to do something fun everyone in the salon is excited for your look, not just you! I will recommend her to absolutely anyone! Thanks for the hard work Caitlin you rocked it!!! read more
I've been sick since the beginning of 2018 so I lost a lot of hair due to all my meds. After lots of research, I decided I wanted to try keratin extensions to try to fill in my hair. I've never had extensions before (except the clip-ins for my wedding), so I was a little nervous at first, especially... since I have naturally curly hair. Caitlin walked me through everything I needed to do, and the girls at the front desk were awesome to answer any of my questions when I called. I told Caitlin I wanted the most keratin extensions possible, so she matched my hair, and did 30% of the extensions in an off shade to add some natural highlights to my hair. When I arrived for my appointment she was ready to go and took her time to make sure everything was perfect. She gave me a great shampoo to make sure my hair was super clean, then she dried my hair and got to work. I was worried that they'd be too heavy, or that it would be difficult to sleep. I have to say, it's a little heavier, but nothing like I imagined... I thought my head was going to feel weighed down and that's not the case. I purchased a satin sleep cap which definitely helped keep my hair from going all over when I sleep. When I saw my finished hair I was amazed at how natural it looked! I was originally going to cut it down to be shorter, but I think I like the long look and will keep it for awhile. I can't say enough good things about Caitlin! I feel fantastic, and I'm already getting lots of compliments on my hair! read more
I’ve been seeing Caitlin for the past two years and I will never go to anyone else! She has brought back the life to my hair. I have fine, thin, hair that’s difficult to process with color. She has managed to make me happy every time I come to see her. I also love the rest of the staff. They’re welc...oming and cheerful every time I’m there. Thank you Caitlin you are amazing! read more
Caitlin is the best!! She has been doing my hair for years, and really knows her stuff. She is dedicated and extremely passionate and does whatever she can to ensure her clients leave happy! Every time she does my hair I'm more than thrilled. Plus, she's friendly and you never have to deal with that... awkward silence while waiting for your hair to process. She really takes the time to get to know you not only as a client, but as a person! read more
I was really nervous about getting extensions and did a lot research prior to getting extensions. This is by far the best place to go! Caitlin is amazing! She is knowledgeable and wants the best for her clients!
Caitlin cut my hair and did a color consultation. My hair looks beautiful and I am so excited for my dye job on Thursday! The salon is looks and smells amazing and I felt so comfortable chatting with Caitlin about what I wanted and about my life in general. This is definitely my new salon!
Caitlin did an amazing job with my extensions!! My hair looks amazing!! I will defiantly be returning. Everyone at the salon was so friendly and very helpful.
Caitlin is amazing!! She has done my hair for years, and she always delivers on my picky requests! Thank you Caitlin for helping me love my hair and step outside the box!
Caitlin is a great stylist and I always leave feeling beautiful! Whether it's just a cut, cut/color or my hair for my wedding it always turns out just how I want!
Frequently Asked Questions
How much do hair extensions cost?
«We get a lot of private messages asking how much do hair extensions cost? As you can see in our extensions guide, there are several different types and brands of hair extensions to choose from. Although we can't guess at a cost without seeing and talking to you first, this much we can tell you. The cost will depend on which type and brand of extensions we use, how much hair we use, if we need to custom color them before we install, and if we need to adjust or highlight your base color before we install. It's impossible to ballpark an amount but hopefully this will give you an idea of how much hair extensions cost relative to each other.
| Type of Hair Extensions | Cost for Full Head |
| Clip Ins | $$ |
| Tape Ins | $$$ |
| Hand Tied Wefts/Invisible Beaded Row Method | $$$ |
| Keratin Tips/Fusions | $$$$ |

How much maintenance do hair extensions require?
«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.

Can you get hair extensions with short or thin 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 get hair color and highlights with 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! ⠀
What are the best types of hair extensions?
«The best type of extensions for YOU depends on your hair. Here is a quick reference:
- Best for natural volume: hand tied wefts
- Best for fine hair: tape-in extensions
- Best for maximum customization: keratin bonds
- Best for occasional wear: clip-in extensions
- Best for thinning hair: toppers
What is the difference between Genius Wefts and Keratin Bonds
«Genius wefts are applied in rows using a beaded foundation and are ideal for adding volume and length quickly.
Keratin bonds are applied strand by strand using a thermal fusion method and offer the most natural movement and flexibility.
We’ll recommend the best option based on your hair type and goals.
Which extension method is better for fine or thinning hair?
«Keratin bonds are often the best option for fine or thinning hair because they are lightweight and can be placed strategically for the most natural result.
Tape in extensions can be a nice fit for fine hair.
Toppers can be the perfect way to add volume and shape to the top of the head.
In some cases, a combination of methods may be recommended.
How do I choose the right color for my extensions?
«Don't worry, we will help you. We will assess your natural color and your desired color during your consultation, then match you to the perfect pre-colored shades. We offer several dimensional, rooted, and balayage tones, so we can create a seamless blend that grows out beautifully simply using hair extensions. No chemicals needed. We can also adjust your base color and, within reason, we can adjust the color of the extensions before we install them. You will have a color you love.
