Hand-tied wefts, one row
The house method — level rows, beaded and sewn.
$465
Est. 1998 · Alamo Heights, San Antonio
Laid like stone. Moves like silk.
Three studios, twenty-eight years and more than 14,000 installs. Hand-tied, bonded and taped extensions from San Antonio's original extension house — built to last, blended to disappear.
The house
Twenty-eight years of steady hands.
Evelyn Castañeda installed her first set of extensions in a limestone cottage on Broadway in 1998, back when most of San Antonio had never heard of a hand-tied weft. Her standard was simple: if you can see it, it isn't done.
Today Granite Row Hair Co. runs three studios and an apprenticeship program, but every install still follows Evelyn's original method — measured rows, matched hair, inspected by a second artist before you leave.

Measure the head. Match the hair. Lay every row like a mason lays stone — level, even and built to outlast the trend.
Sample client reviews
Three decades of clients
Placeholder reviews for this design — your real Google reviews appear here.
I've been a client since 2004. Three generations of women in my family wear Granite Row Hair Co. hair. It's simply the best in Texas.
A second artist inspected every row before I left. That's why nothing has ever slipped.
Helen's greige toning is the most expensive-looking color I've ever had.
Teresa fitted my topper after chemo with so much kindness. I felt like myself again.
Grace matched my 4B texture exactly. Seamless, and my edges stayed healthy.
Mariana's keratin bonds on my baby-fine hair are invisible. Even my husband can't find them.
Valeria gave me waist-length bridal hair for a wedding at the Missions. Every photo is perfect.
Same price, same quality at all three studios. I go to whichever is closest that week.
