Hair Extensions by Length
Our lengths run from 14 inches (a subtle boost) to 26 inches (below the waist). Most clients pick a length two inches longer than they actually want, then wonder why everything reads shorter once installed. The guide below covers why that happens and how to pick.
Pick By Need
For Short Hair
Extensions designed to blend with shorter cuts. Clip-ins and tape-ins that seamlessly disappear into hair at or above the shoulders.
Medium Lengths
Our most-matched range, sitting between 16 and 18 inches. Wearable everyday length that hits between the shoulders and the mid-back.
Long Lengths
Sitting between 20 and 22 inches, past the mid-back to the waist. A real transformation that still feels livable daily.
Extra-Long Lengths
Dramatic length, sitting at 24 inches and up. For statement looks, editorial photoshoots, and clients who want hair that swings.

How to Choose the Right Length
Extensions are measured from the very top of the weft or clip down to the tip of the hair. The number on the package is the actual hair length, not how it'll look on your head. Because they install partway down your scalp (usually around the occipital bone), they'll read 2 to 4 inches shorter than the stated length once they're in.
Practical translation: for mid-back hair, look at 18 or 20 inches. For waist-length, 22 to 24. Below the waist starts at 26.
Length also has to work with your hair type. Past 22 inches, very long extensions can pull on finer hair or look weighted down, so the method (tape-in, weft, clip-in) matters more the longer you go. 18 inches is our most matched length for a reason. It reads as a real transformation and doesn't feel heavy at the end of a long day.
"I've had clients want to trade their 22-inch set for an 18 after a week. The right length isn't the most dramatic one, it's the one that still feels comfortable by 4pm. If you're hesitating between two, go shorter."

Hair Extension Length Questions
The questions we hear most about picking and measuring your length.
Length & Measuring
From the very top of the weft, clip, or bond down to the tip of the hair. The number is the actual length of the hair, not how it will look on you once installed.
Decide where you want the hair to fall, then add 2 to 4 inches. Extensions sit partway down your head, so they'll read shorter once in. For waist-length, go 22 to 24. For mid-back, 18 to 20.
Expect them to read 2 to 4 inches shorter than the package length once installed. The bonds or wefts sit partway down your scalp, so part of the stated length is hidden under your natural hair. This is universal across brands. Plan around the installed result, not the number on the label.
Yes. They're 100% Remy human hair, so a stylist can trim and layer them just like your own. Get a professional to do it. The cut shapes how they blend with your natural hair, and that's not something to DIY.
18 inches, by a wide margin. It reads as a real transformation but doesn't feel heavy by the end of the day. 20 inches is a close second for clients who want a little more drama.
Past 22 to 24 inches, length starts pulling on finer hair and can look weighted down. Talk to a stylist about your density before going long. Tape-ins and seamless clip-ins distribute weight better than traditional clip-ins at those lengths.
