Choosing the Right Hair Extensions for You

Hey there, beautiful! 👋 I'm Jo from Jo Hearts Hair in Lone Tree, Colorado, and I'm absolutely obsessed with helping you find your dream hair! After graduating from the Aveda Institute Denver and spending 6 amazing years creating transformations, I've learned a thing or two about extensions that I can't wait to share with you!

Why Trust My Extension Expertise?

I'm not just extension-obsessed - I'm certified in multiple premium extension brands including Great Lengths, HairTalk, Short to Long, CocoMarie, and Babe! Plus, when I'm not creating length and volume magic, I'm working on vivid colors and lived-in looks that'll make your heart skip a beat!

Finding Your Perfect Extension Match

Let's break down everything you need to know about choosing the right extensions (because honestly, it can feel overwhelming at first!).

Understanding Your Natural Hair Type

Your natural hair is unique, and your extensions should be too! Here's how we match different hair types:

  • Fine Hair Queens 👑: Tape-ins or small hand-tied wefts will be your bestie! They're lightweight and won't put stress on your natural hair
  • Medium Hair Beauties 💁‍♀️: You've hit the extension jackpot! Most methods will work amazingly for you
  • Thick Hair Goddesses ✨: K-tips and sew-in methods are perfect for blending with your gorgeous volume
  • Curly Hair Rockstars 💫: We'll match your texture perfectly for the most natural blend
Lifestyle Matters (Like, A Lot!)

Your perfect extensions should fit your life, not the other way around:

  • Gym Enthusiasts: Tape-ins or hand-tied extensions move naturally with you
  • Busy Moms: Clip-ins give you flexibility for those crazy days
  • Low-Maintenance Lovers: Keratin bonds could be your perfect match
