Still can’t find what you’re looking for? Contact us anytime, we’re here to help.
Are hair extensions for everyone?
Hair extensions are best applied to clean, healthy hair. To ensure a secure attachment and optimal results, your natural hair should be at least 5 inches long. We’ll assess your hair’s suitability during your complimentary consultation appointment.
Will hair extensions damage my hair?
Hair extensions won’t damage your hair when they’re applied and maintained correctly by a licensed, qualified professional. At Lake Norman Hair Loss Solutions, we prioritize the health of your natural hair. That’s why we only use extension methods that are gentle and safe. Our Great Lengths and Hairdreams keratin-based attachments are excellent examples of professional-grade products that, when applied properly, will not adversely affect your hair.
How long will my hair extensions last?
Great Lengths and Hairdreams pre-bonded hair extensions can last three to five months when properly maintained. The CNC-XT system by CRLAB can last up to 12 months when properly maintained.
How much do hair extensions cost?
Hair extension costs vary because each guest’s needs are unique. Factors like your existing hair, desired length, and even head size all impact the price. The extension method you choose, whether you’re adding volume or length, and any custom color requests also contribute to the final cost. Your Lake Norman Hair Extension specialist will go over the different prices according to your needs.
Why are human hair extensions the best?
Human hair extensions offer the most natural look and feel, blending seamlessly with your own hair. This also means you can style them with heated tools and even have them professionally colored or permed for a truly customized look. They’re the better choice for everyday wear and various lifestyle activities.
How do I take care of my hair extensions?
After applying your hair extension application at our Lake Norman salon, your Lake Norman Hair Extension specialist will provide you with all the necessary instructions to get the most out of your new hair. For the best and longest-lasting results, always follow our specific hair extension tips for styling and maintenance.
Can I wear my hair up?
Yes, absolutely! Our hair extensions are applied so the hair falls naturally, keeping the bonds discreet and out of sight. You’ll be able to wear your hair up just like before.
Can I exercise and swim with my hair extensions?
Yes, you can swim with hair extensions. However, frequent swimming in saltwater or chlorinated pools can impact their lifespan. The same goes for excessive time in saunas and steam rooms, which may also reduce longevity. Always follow the specific care instructions provided by your Lake Norman Hair Extension specialist to ensure the best results and extend the life of your extensions.
How do I get started?
It all starts with a FREE, private consultation. We’ll assess your hair and scalp, talk through your lifestyle and goals, and recommend solutions that make sense for you. There’s no pressure, just education, support, and a plan if and when you’re ready.

What Our Guests Say
EXCELLENT Based on 22 reviews Posted on Google M.Christine TrentTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Deborah helped me with a custom hair topper. The experience was very satisfying, and I went away feeling happy and confident in my improved hairstyle. The investment was completely worthwhile. The topper was the best solution for me, as I have a petite head and wigs are generally too large or too full. There are not a lot of options in petite wigs. I am really happy with my experience, purchase, and result.Posted on Google Dewey BTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Deb and Gary make s great team and transform the look and feel with their unique expertise and passion.They are very methodical and at the same time accommodating to the needs of the customer.

From the moment I walked in Debbie and Gary made me feel comfortable and understood … something that’s so important when you’re dealing with something as personal as hair loss. Debbie took the time to thoroughly assess my situation and explain all of my options with absolutely no pressure to purchase. I appreciated the HUGE inventory of selections in-house and how knowledgeable Debbie is about toppers, wigs and other hair loss options. She tailored her recommendations to fit my lifestyle and preferences. The initial consultation felt personal, honest and supportive rather than sales-driven. The QUALITY of their toppers and wigs is IMPRESSIVE. Everything looked natural, felt comfortable and was clearly made with attention to detail. They also helped with styling and taught me how to care for my piece, which made a huge difference in my confidence. What stood out most was the compassion of the team. They truly understand the emotional side of hair loss and create a welcoming, judgment-free environment. I left feeling not only happier with my appearance but also more confident overall. I would HIGHLY recommend Lake Norman Hair Loss Solutions to anyone looking for high-quality hair loss options and a caring, professional experience.

Guaranteed, you will not be disappointed becoming a client of Lake Norman Hair Solutions!Posted on Google JCTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. After many years of trying everything — wigs, extensions, toppers — and never truly feeling great about any of them, I finally found Debbie. I spent so much money over the years on solutions always hoping they would give me what I longed for, but something was always missing. From the very first appointment, Debbie was different. She listened. She understood. And she offered a real solution — not just another temporary fix. The results look natural, feel comfortable, and most importantly, I finally feel confident again. For the first time in a long time, I don’t think about my hair all day. I just live my life. Debbie didn’t just change my hair — she helped restore something in me that I thought I had lost. I’m so incredibly grateful. If you struggle with hair loss, do yourself a favor and go see Debbie!
