Thinking about getting extensions?
Let Hive Answer Your Questions
Everything You Need to Know Before You Book at Hive Hair Collective
At Hive Hair Collective in , Wheaton, IL we specialize in custom Bellami hair extensions. Bellami is designed to enhance your natural beauty while keeping your natural hair healthy and strong.
How do I know which extension method is best for me?
During your personalized consultation, we’ll talk through your lifestyle, hair goals, and how you typically wear your hair. From there, I’ll recommend the best extension method—whether it’s hand-tied wefts, volume wefts, or another type—so your new hair feels completely natural and blends seamlessly.
Why get extensions? What are the benefits?
Extensions aren’t just for length! They can:
✨ Add thickness and volume to fine or thinning hair
✨ Hold styles longer and reduce heat damage on your natural hair
✨ Extend time between washes
✨ Protect your natural hair as it grows
✨ Instantly transform your confidence
Whether you’re craving long, beachy waves or just fuller, healthier-looking hair, extensions can completely elevate your look.
What does maintenance look like?
To keep your extensions looking flawless, you’ll need to come in for:
💛 Push-ups every 6–10 weeks
💛 A reinstall every third push-up
💛 New hair every 12–18 months
This schedule helps your extensions last longer and ensures your natural hair stays healthy underneath.
How do we get a perfect color match?
I use Bellami Professional extensions—a brand known for its premium quality and extensive color range. During your consult, I’ll color-match your hair using a full Bellami swatch ring to ensure a seamless blend. As long as your hair color stays consistent, your extensions will continue to match beautifully!
What does home care involve?
The biggest change? Never let your extensions air dry. Always blow dry after washing to prevent damage or moisture buildup near the scalp.
Sleeping with wet hair can cause tangling or even damage to the extension bonds.
I’ll walk you through a complete home care routine so your extensions always look salon-fresh.
Do I need new products?
Good news — most professional salon products are perfectly safe for your extensions!
I’ll recommend the best sulfate-free and hydrating products to keep both your natural hair and your extensions healthy, shiny, and smooth.
