How much does it cost to install extensions?

To reduce the risk of damage from human hair extensions, the golden rule is to choose REMY quality (with the cuticles intact) and trust an experienced specialist such as Master Michelle Milano.At our salon, under the expert guidance of Michelle Navarro, we focus on high-quality sewn-in hair extensions. When performed with the care and expertise for which our method is known, it can be gentle on the hair fibre. We’re proud to say that, to date, no other salon in Milan has surpassed the quality of our extensions or the excellence of our service, with the aim of achieving a natural-looking and secure result.If your hair is particularly fine, Michelle will assess whether the sewn-in method is right for you or whether another option, such as microrings, adhesive wefts or clip-ins, may be more suitable. Regular maintenance, suitable breaks, gentle products and soft brushes all help support healthy hair.

The method depends on your hair, but a safe, natural-looking result starts with choosing high-quality sewn-in hair extensions, a speciality of Master Michelle Milano. Under the guidance of Michelle Navarro, we focus on high standards, quality human hair extensions and attentive service.Here are the main types and their benefits:REMY human hair: Essential in professional applications. Its cuticles follow their natural direction, which helps reduce tangling and stress on the hair.Sewn-in method (top quality): Our salon’s signature method. It’s a favourite for adding volume and length while taking care of the natural hair, when applied with skill.Microrings: Ideal if you want to avoid glue or heat; they can be a minimally invasive option.Adhesive wefts (tape-in): Quick to apply and often chosen for fine hair; the wefts can be reused.Ultrasound: An advanced cold method that joins strands discreetly without damaging the hair structure.Clip-ins: The least invasive temporary option, ideal for special occasions when worn and removed correctly.

The health of your hair depends on a balance of technique, materials, and maintenance. At our salon, under the direction of Michelle Navarro, we follow strict protocols to ensure every application is a beauty treatment, not a source of stress.Here are the key principles for excellent results:The professional makes the difference: Application quality is crucial. Choosing Master Michelle Milano means choosing the experience of someone who has perfected the highest-quality hair extension application using the sew-in method in the city. Avoid inexperienced practitioners: incorrect application is a leading cause of hair damage.Quality materials (human hair extensions): We use only top-quality Remy human hair. No other salon in Milan has surpassed the quality of our extensions; investing in premium strands helps avoid tangles and unnecessary tension.Special care for fine or fragile hair: For delicate hair, we recommend avoiding hot keratin bonds or overly heavy extensions. In these cases, Michelle Navarro's expertise guides the client towards cold application methods, tape-ins, or our exclusive ultra-light sew-in technique.Respecting rest periods: Extensions should not be worn longer than recommended. It is essential to give your natural hair periodic breaks so the hair follicle can recover properly.Daily care and routine: Long-lasting beauty comes from the right habits. We recommend using sulphate-free shampoo, brushing gently with suitable tools, and giving the scalp light massages to stimulate blood circulation.The Master Michelle advantage: Our full commitment to service quality means every client receives personalised advice, ensuring the chosen technique is the safest option for their hair type.

Lifespan depends largely on the technique chosen, but material quality has the greatest impact on appearance over time. At our salon, we use only human hair extensions of a superior grade, helping maintain shine for months.What you need to know about the lifespan of the most common methods:Tape-in extensions: They are ideal for anyone who likes to change their look often and wants a quick application. On average, they last 6–8 weeks. After this time, a professional needs to remove and reapply them closer to the roots, as natural growth moves them down.Sew-in method (our speciality): Thanks to the expertise of Michelle Navarro, the highest-quality hair extension application using the sew-in method provides a secure, natural hold. Although regrowth means they need to be repositioned periodically, the quality of the hair used by Master Michelle Milano allows it to be reused several times while retaining exceptional softness.Premium maintenance: In Milan, no other salon has surpassed the quality of our post-application service that we offer. Proper professional maintenance not only extends the life of your extensions but also protects your natural hair.The Master’s advice: To keep your extensions looking newly applied, follow your in-salon check-up schedule carefully. The precise repositioning by Master Michelle Milano is what keeps your look fresh and seamless.

No. Since they are 100% human hair, they can withstand straighteners and hairdryers, as long as you always use a heat protectant and do not exceed the recommended temperatures.

human hair extensions with a tape-in method are sections of high-quality human hair attached to an ultra-thin, hypoallergenic adhesive base. This type of hair extensions allows for a flat, invisible blend, ideal for anyone looking for a natural result without the bulk or rigidity of hot-application methods.

Choosing Milan hair extensions means choosing luxury standards. Milan salons use certified Remy hair, which keeps the cuticles aligned in their natural direction. This helps create fuller hair that resists tangling and moves harmoniously with your own hair.

In the professional market, hair extension prices vary according to the amount of hair and the length. A full set for length and volume with human hair extensions typically ranges from €250 to €900, depending on the salon and the quality of the extensions. It is a worthwhile investment because the strands can be reused through several application cycles.

Extension hair prices vary according to the amount and length, generally starting at €250–€300 for a basic volume service. They are a smart investment because the hair can be reused. At our salon, we use the sewn-in method, and Master Michelle Navarro will select the best colour blend to enhance your look.

Costs vary according to length, quantity, and technique. On average, hair extension prices for a full head (length and volume) start at €300 for tape-in wefts and can exceed €1,000 for complex work using very high-quality keratin extensions. Extension prices always depend on the salon and brand you choose.

No, when extensions are applied and removed by a professional. Keratin is a protein naturally found in hair. Damage usually occurs only if low-quality hair extensions are used, if removal is attempted at home, or if the recommended aftercare is not followed.See what makes Master Extension Michelle different: At our salon, we care for your natural hair and use only 100% natural, certified human hair extensions with safe techniques that respect your hair. Unlike traditional salons, where the final quote can be uncertain because it depends on the number of strands, we offer an exclusive fixed, transparent price with no surprises: €530 for 55 cm and €680 for 65 cm, whether you want volume, length, or both.

A professional keratin application lasts between 4 and 6 months. The timing depends on how quickly your natural hair grows and on your daily care.

Keratin hair extensions are applied strand by strand by melting a polymer, offering maximum invisibility and long wear (up to 6 months). Tape-in extensions (or wefts) are applied in a “sandwich” using medical-grade adhesive; application is much faster (about 1 hour), they last 6–8 weeks, and the wefts are reusable.

For an average head, you need 120 to 150 keratin bonds (about 100–120 grams of hair). If you only want to add volume to the ends, 50–80 strands may be enough.

The term “Remy” means that the hair cuticles all face in the same direction, just like our natural hair. Choosing Remy human hair extensions is essential to help prevent tangles, knots, and frizz.

It is not recommended. Ideally, wash your hair 2 or 3 times a week to avoid stressing the attachment points. You must use a sulphate-free shampoo (SLES/SLS) and always wash with your head upright (never upside down under the shower).

Yes, if you have purchased human hair extensions. You can curl, straighten, and dry them as you normally would. However, always use a heat protectant and never apply a hot straightener directly to keratin bonds or tape-in wefts.

Milan is Italy’s capital of hairstyling. For hair extensions in Milan, some of the best-known certified salons (using brands such as Hairdreams or Great Lengths) include Norino Extension, Friselli Hair Studio, Esha Extension and Paradise Beauty.

Because they are real human hair, the extensions can be toned or darkened. However, bleaching is strongly discouraged because the extension hair has already undergone depigmentation processes at the factory. Always consult an experienced colourist.

Use a dedicated brush, preferably one with boar bristles or a loop brush without balls on the tips. Start brushing from the ends and gently work your way up toward the roots, holding the base of the strands firmly with your other hand.

Yes, but take a few precautions. Salt and chlorine can dry the hair out. Before swimming, tie your extensions into a braid. Rinse thoroughly with fresh water as soon as you get out, then apply a leave-in conditioner.

The golden rule is: never go to bed with wet hair. Before bed, brush your hair thoroughly and tie it in a loose braid or a low ponytail. A silk pillowcase helps reduce friction and frizz.

A full-head application using the keratin method takes 2 to 4 hours. Application with adhesive wefts (tape-in) is much quicker and usually takes around 45–60 minutes.

When applied by a professional, they are virtually invisible. An expert places the attachment points away from the hairline and outer perimeter, then blends the lengths after installation so the hair extensions blend seamlessly with your own hair.

Removal is carried out in the salon. The professional applies a specific alcohol- or essential-oil-based solvent to the keratin bonds, then gently breaks them up with a special plier. The strand slides off without pulling out the natural hair.

Extensions do not automatically cause hair loss, but an unsuitable or overly heavy application and excessive tension can damage natural hair. During removal, you may notice many shed hairs at once; this is part of the natural cycle, as we lose around 50–100 hairs a day. Hairs caught in the keratin cannot fall away normally and are released together when the extensions are removed.

Yes, but the method must be chosen carefully. For very fine hair, micro-keratin bonds (strands cut in half to make them lighter) or extensions with an invisible thread / specialist volumising systems for the crown, such as MicroLines, are recommended.

Leading salons use certified brands with ethical sourcing. Among the world leaders available in Italy are Great Lengths (Made in Italy), Hairdreams, SEISETA and Master Extension Michelle and HC Milano.

Invest in a high-quality haircare routine: a gentle, SLES-free shampoo, deeply hydrating masks (applied only to the lengths and ends) and nourishing oils such as argan oil. Never apply oily or silicone-based products to the roots, or the attachment points may slip.
