The Skinny on Hair Extensions

Various hair extension options are available to add length volume and enhance your hairstyle. Here are some common types of hair extensions:

Tape-in Extensions: Tape-in extensions involve attaching wefts of hair to your natural hair using a double-sided tape. They lie flat against the scalp, providing a more natural look and are semi-permanent. Tape-in extensions can typically be worn for several weeks before needing to be repositioned.

Sew-in or Weave Extensions: Sew-in or weave extensions involve braiding your natural hair into cornrows and sewing wefts of hair onto the braids using a needle and thread. This method provides long-lasting results and can be worn for several weeks. It's important to have a professional stylist install and remove sew-in or weave extensions.

Fusion or Pre-Bonded Extensions: Fusion or pre-bonded extensions use small individual strands of hair that are bonded to your natural hair using heat or adhesive. These extensions provide a natural look and can be worn for several months before needing to be removed and reinstalled. Fusion extensions require professional application and removal.

Micro-Link or I-Tip Extensions: Micro-link or I-tip extensions use small strands of hair attached to your natural hair using small metal or plastic rings. The rings are clamped shut to secure the extensions in place. This method is often preferred by those who want a longer-term extension option.

Halo Extensions: Halo extensions are a temporary option where a weft of hair is attached to a thin, transparent wire that sits on top of your head like a halo. The natural hair is then blended with the extension hair to create a seamless look. Halo extensions are easy to install and remove without any professional assistance.

Ponytail Extensions: Ponytail extensions are designed to add length and volume to your natural ponytail. They can be clipped, tied, or wrapped around your own hair to create a fuller and longer ponytail.

Hairstyle Inn Salon Tips & Wedding Hair Bliss Tricks

HSI Salons tips and Wedding Hair Bliss tricks…On your wedding day, you want your hair to look stunning and complement your overall bridal look. Here are some tips to help you achieve beautiful bridal hair:

1. Plan in advance: Start planning your bridal hair well in advance. Research different hairstyles, gather inspiration from bridal magazines or online sources, and consider consulting with a professional hairstylist to discuss your ideas and options.

   
   

2. Find the right hairstylist and number of stylists to accommodate your wedding party group: Look for a hairstylist/s who specializes in bridal hair and has experience working with different hair types and styles. Schedule a trial session with your chosen stylist to experiment with various hairstyles and determine the best look for you.

   
   

3. Consider your dress and theme: Your hairstyle should complement your wedding dress and the overall theme or style of your wedding. For example, a bohemian-inspired wedding might call for loose waves or braided hairstyles. In contrast, an elegant and formal wedding may be suited for an updo or a sleek, sophisticated style.

   
   

4. Don't forget about accessories: Consider incorporating accessories such as veils, hairpins, tiaras, flowers, or headbands into your hairstyle. Choose accessories that complement your dress and personal style while enhancing the overall bridal look.

   
   

5. Prioritize hair health: Leading up to your wedding day, take care of your hair to ensure it looks its best. Follow a good hair care routine, moisturize your hair regularly, and consider deep conditioning treatments or hair masks to add shine and strength. Trim your hair regularly to remove any split ends.

   
   

6. Coordinate with your makeup artist: Coordinate your hairstyle with your makeup artist to create a cohesive bridal look. Consider how your hair and makeup will work together to enhance your features and create a harmonious appearance.

   
   

7. Consider the weather and venue: If you're having an outdoor wedding in a windy location, choose a hairstyle that can withstand the elements and stay in place throughout the day.

   
   

8. Schedule a hair trial: Schedule a hair trial a few weeks before your wedding day to test the chosen hairstyle. This will allow you to make any necessary adjustments or try alternative styles if needed.

   
   

9. Communication is key: Clearly communicate your vision and preferences to your hairstylist. Bring photos of hairstyles you like and be open to their professional advice. Effective communication ensures that you and your hairstylist are on the same page and working towards achieving your desired bridal look.

   
   

10. Stay calm and relaxed: On your wedding day, take time to relax and enjoy the experience. Trust in your hairstylist's expertise, and remember that your beauty radiates from within. Embrace the joy and excitement of your special day, knowing that you will look beautiful and confident with your bridal hair.

    
    

Your wedding day is unique to you, so choose a hairstyle that makes you feel beautiful and confident. Plan in advance, communicate your preferences, and work with professionals to create the perfect bridal hair that complements your overall wedding vision.

TRUSTED SASKATOON RECOGNIZES OUR 10 YEAR PARTNERS!

In this series of articles, we are shining a spotlight on the businesses that have been with us since we launched in 2011. We want to thank them for TRUSTING our team, and we are recognizing each of them individually for providing 10 years of OUTSTANDING service to the public of Saskatoon and surrounding areas! In this article, we celebrate and recognize Laddie, Shelley and their amazing team at Hairstyle Inn Salon.

We are pleased to celebrate Hairstyle Inn Salons who have been TRUSTED Saskatoon Salon partners for over 10 years!

Right from the start Laddie and Shelley James believed in our idea and they believed that together we could make a difference! Hairstyle Inn Salons are a fun, fresh & locally owned; well-known salon group with TWO Saskatoon locations. Hairstyle Inn at the Centre Mall and Hairstyle Inn at The Lawson Mall. Their wonderful creative team makes up one of Saskatchewan's premier cut, colour and design salon groups, established by the James family in 1976 when Laddie’s father opened up their first location.

Laddie has an impressive reputation within the salon industry worldwide, and he has been invited as an expert to perform and speak at major industry events and fashion shows from New York to Amsterdam! Hairstyle Inn Salons are in an industry that is notorious for the turnover of staff, but they buck the trend. They have many long-standing team members, including Katherine, who has been a stylist at the Centre Mall location for 35 years! This really showcases what sets them apart, the wonderful, caring and supportive environment that has been built and nurtured there over the years. They have a huge heart and it is OBVIOUS to anyone that steps inside their salons.

It’s easy to see why Hairstyle Inn Salons have such a great, long-standing history in Saskatoon and so many satisfied clients... me included! Every time I walk up to the counter I’m always greeted with a smile no matter who sees me first. I’ve been lucky enough to have my hair done by a few of their talented stylists and each and every time they are professional, friendly, and really take their time to get to know me personally. At either HSI location, it really is a place where everyone knows your name... or at least that’s how I feel! I’ve been to other salons around the city for many years and Hairstyle Inn Salons are by far the best around, and I’ll continue to go there and rave to others about their amazing team and outstanding service!

GIVING BACK TO THE COMMUNITY IS THE FOUNDATION OF HSI

The team at Hairstyle Inn Salons also gives back to our community in a huge way. They always step up to donate items and time, including volunteering at The Persephone Theatre, C95 Radio marathon, and last but certainly not least, the non-profit that Shelley James founded in 2006 - TLC@HOME. TLC@Home stands for Touching The Lives Of Children at Home. They provide a Christmas shoebox full of gifts for children at several participating inner-city schools in Saskatoon. They started with a few classes in one school and have continued to grow the number of children we reach each year. Their goal is to reach every child in each of the community city schools in Saskatoon. 

"The Trusted team has been actively involved in fundraising and donating our time to this great initiative. We treasure the days over the years that our team has been invited along to distribute gifts directly to children in the schools. I am so grateful to have Laddie, Shel and the team as part of my business and part of my life. " - Sara Wheelwright, Trusted Founder

 

Our involvement with  TLC@Home sparked the idea to launch a non-profit category on Trusted Saskatoon to further support 4 local non-profits and the Trusted team is proud to support TLC@Home as a Trusted Saskatoon Non-profit. 

Hear from the wonderful Laddie and Shelley by watching the Behind The Brand interview that was recorded last year. 

Over the last 10 years, Hairstyle Inn Salons has been re-checked, re-verified and mystery shopped several times, and each time they pass with flying colours. They continue to be top salons in Saskatoon and they have always upheld our 5 TRUSTED GUARANTEES of service for the 10 YEARS as Trusted Saskatoon Partners.
