Tape-ins & micro-links · Corpus Christi
Length that survives the coast.
Tape-ins and micro-links placed for salt air, Gulf humidity and long days on the water. The work is on the wall; the details are below.
Meet Inés
I build extensions for this weather.
I grew up on the Southside watching my mom's hair frizz the second she stepped outside. When I started doing extensions, I kept seeing the same thing: beautiful installs that tangled by July.
So I changed how I place them. Thinner sections, tapes set a finger lower, a humidity seal on every install and a wash routine I text you the same night. I see one client at a time in Studio 4, and I'd rather lose a booking than send you to the beach with hair that won't last.

Sample client reviews
Kind words from the chair
I live on a boat half the summer. Inés's tape-ins made it through three months of Laguna Madre without a single mat.
She talked me out of more length and into volume tapes. She was right; my fine hair finally looks like hair.
The color match by the window is real. Nobody can find where my hair ends and hers begins.

Good to know
Questions, answered
Can I swim with extensions?
Yes. Braid it loose, rinse with fresh water after, and use the leave-in I send you home with. Salt and chlorine are fine if you rinse.
Tape-ins or micro-links?
Tape-ins for fine hair and faster installs; micro-links if you sweat a lot or want no adhesive at all. We decide at your color match.
Will extensions damage my hair?
Not when they're placed light and moved up on time. Skipping move-ups is what damages hair, so I book your next one before you leave.
How long does the hair last?
Good hair lasts three to four move-ups, about six months to a year with care.
Do you sell the hair?
Yes, by the pack, matched to you. You're also welcome to bring hair if it's remy human hair.
What should I bring to my color match?
Clean, dry hair, no product, and a photo of the length you want.
