Mystique 360

The studio is built around hair extensions, offered in several installation methods: seamless, weft (skin weft or track), temporary clip-in, Micro Links, sew-in, Quick Weave, bonded, and custom units. Appointments for extensions usually run three to seven hours, depending on the method and any other services booked. Bonded installs take about two to four hours and sew-ins about three to five hours, both including cutting and styling. The site describes Mystique as an industry favorite.

Before choosing a method, Mystique looks at how much time a client has, their budget, their daily beauty routine, and how much maintenance they are willing to do. Natural hair should be at least four inches long for extension installation, and at least three inches for a sew-in; a bonded weave does not depend on length. Clients need about one to one and a half packs of hair for a partial weave and two to two and a half packs for a full weave. Extensions are not recommended for longer than two months and should not be worn beyond three to four months. Moroccan Oil or Argan Oil is suggested as a moisturizer and scalp conditioner while wearing a weave.

The Keratin Conditioning Smoothing Therapy starts at $180 and needs no consultation, though a deposit is required. The results are expected to last about 12 to 14 weeks. Hair should not be washed for 72 hours afterward and should stay free of styling products during the curing period. The site also includes information on the BASIC One-Step Smoothing System, an amino-acid based temporary smoothing treatment for professional salon use that is stated to be formaldehyde-free.

Booking policies: a deposit is needed when booking, and the remaining balance is due before the service by cash, CashApp, or through the booking site. Advance booking two to four weeks ahead is suggested. Cancellations must be made online, and changes need at least 72 hours notice; late cancellations and no-shows are charged the full service cost. Appointments are cancelled if a client arrives more than 15 minutes late. Children under 13 are not allowed.

Chooses the extension method around each client's time, budget, daily routine and the upkeep they are prepared to do.
