Hair extensions can transform your look by adding length, volume, and confidence. However, this procedure is not suitable for everyone. At a professional salon, our priority is not only beauty but also the health of your natural hair. That’s why it’s important to speak honestly about situations where hair extensions may not be recommended.
Below, we explain who should avoid hair extensions or postpone the procedure until conditions improve.

If you are experiencing active hair loss (including postpartum shedding, hormonal imbalance, stress-related hair loss, or medical conditions), hair extensions are not recommended.
Extensions add extra weight and tension, which can worsen hair loss and slow down recovery. In such cases, we advise focusing on scalp treatment and hair restoration first.

Hair that has been severely damaged by bleaching, chemical treatments, or excessive heat may not be able to support extensions safely.
Even the most gentle extension methods require a certain level of hair strength. Installing extensions on extremely fragile hair can lead to breakage and further damage.

Certain short haircuts, especially blunt bobs or pixie styles, may not allow extensions to blend naturally.
In such cases, visible attachment points or an unnatural transition may occur. We always evaluate haircut shape, length, and perimeter zones before recommending extensions.

Very fine hair with low density is not always a contraindication, but it requires careful evaluation. In some cases, extensions may be too visible or place too much stress on the hair.
A professional consultation is essential to determine whether a lightweight method (such as invisible wefts or micro systems) is suitable — or whether extensions should be postponed.

Hair extensions are contraindicated in the presence of certain medical conditions, especially those affecting hair growth and scalp health.
This includes, but is not limited to:

• Alopecia (areata, androgenetic, traction, or scarring alopecia)
• Autoimmune disorders affecting hair follicles
• Ongoing medical treatments that cause hair thinning or loss (such as chemotherapy or certain medications)
• Diagnosed scalp conditions requiring medical supervision

In these cases, installing hair extensions can interfere with treatment, worsen hair loss, or cause additional stress to already compromised hair follicles.

We believe that saying “no” when necessary is a sign of professionalism. Our goal is not just to install hair extensions — but to protect your natural hair and create long-term, beautiful results.
If you’re unsure whether hair extensions are right for you, we’ll always give you an honest answer and recommend the best solution for your hair.
