Longer, Fuller, Better: Hair Extensions at Hush Salon and Spa

Thinking about getting extensions but not sure where to start? Whether you want a little extra volume or full-on mermaid vibes, Emma at Hush Salon and Spa’s South location in Guelph is the go-to for all things extensions. She’ll help you find the perfect method for your hair type, lifestyle, and goals—without the guesswork.

Here’s everything you need to know before booking your consultation with Emma at Hush Salon South (plus her fave AG Care products for keeping your extensions looking amazing).

💁♀️ The Types of Extensions Available

Extensions aren’t one-size-fits-all. Here’s a quick breakdown of the different methods Emma offers—and what they’re best for:

✨ Weft Extensions
Sewn into a row of beads—great for medium to thick hair.
“Wefts give the most volume and can be reused for months if you take care of them,” says Emma.

✨ K-Tips (Keratin Bonds)
Tiny strands bonded with keratin and heat. Ideal for fine hair and clients who want low daily maintenance.

✨ Tape-Ins
Thin, adhesive panels that lay flat and blend beautifully. Great for adding volume to finer hair.

✨ I-Tips
Attached strand by strand with a small bead. These offer flexibility and are great for updos or ponytails.

✨ V-Light Extensions
Super lightweight and perfect for filling in thin areas (think hairlines or sparse spots).

✨ Clip-Ins
Temporary extensions you can wear for events or just because. Emma custom-shapes and colour-matches them to blend with your natural hair.

🎯 How to Choose the Right Type

During your consultation, Emma will check your hair’s density, texture, and how you usually style it. This helps figure out what method will look natural and last the longest for you.

💡 Emma’s tip:
“If you’re someone who sweats a lot at the gym or wears your hair up constantly, we might lean toward something like I-Tips or K-Tips. Your lifestyle matters just as much as your hair type!”

🎨 Colour Matching 101

A seamless blend is key to making extensions look natural. Emma does in-person colour matching and can custom-tone your extensions if needed. Whether you’re blonde, brunette, vivid, or somewhere in between—she’s got you.

📏 What Length Should You Choose?

Extensions typically come in 14" to 24"—but longer isn’t always better. Here’s a quick guide:

• 14–16” – Subtle length and volume
  

• 18–20” – Natural long-hair feel
  

• 22–24” – Bold, glam, and dramatic
  
  

📏 Emma’s tip:
“If your hair is shorter than shoulder-length, going super long can make the blend tricky. Sometimes a mid-length actually looks more natural and full.”

🧴 How to Care for Your Extensions (ft. AG Care Faves)

Caring for your extensions properly = keeping them soft, shiny, and tangle-free. Here’s Emma’s go-to routine using AG Care products:

🧼 Wash Day Musts:

• AG Care Balance Shampoo – Sulfate-free and super gentle on both your natural hair and your extensions.
  
  

• AG Care Boost Conditioner – Lightweight moisture without weighing hair down. Just keep it off the roots and bonds!
  

💧 Post-Wash:

• AG Care Fast Food Leave-On Conditioner – “I love this for detangling and moisture—just use a little and focus on the mid-lengths and ends,” says Emma.
  

🔥 Heat Styling:

• AG Care Firewall Argan Flat Iron Spray – Protects hair from heat damage and keeps your extensions smooth.
  

🪮 Daily:

• Use a loop or extension-safe brush
  

• Brush gently from ends up
  

• Sleep in a loose braid or low ponytail
  

• Silk pillowcases help reduce friction!
