About

Founded in 2015 by Jacarla Smith, Sophisticated Strands describes itself as a full-service beauty salon. Its specialties include hair growth, healthy hair care, natural hair, extensions and wig making, among other services.

The extensions menu covers sew-in removal, traditional sew-ins, closure sew-ins, K-Tips, tape-ins and micro links. Prices run from $75 for removing a sew-in, which takes about 30 minutes, up to $3,500 for luxury K-Tips, which takes about 8 hours and includes up to 22 inches of extensions. Tape-in or micro link installation takes about 4 hours at $1,500 and includes 14 to 18 inches of extensions, and tape-in and micro link removal takes about an hour at $200. Flip-over sew-ins, micro link weft installs and sew-ins with leave-out are also offered, though the salon does not list prices for them.

Natural hair services include a silk press for $125 that takes about an hour, and a silk press with hydration and trim for $200 that takes about two hours. A hydration, protein and trim treatment takes about 30 minutes and costs $40.

Wig services cover maintenance at $125, which includes shampoo and styling and takes about two hours, and maintenance with installation at $300, which includes braid takedown, a shampoo and braid down of the natural hair, and takes about three hours. Wig construction is $550 and takes about three hours. The salon also sells custom glueless wigs and ready-to-wear glueless wigs. Its Celine glueless closure wig is priced from $1,265 to $2,150 depending on length, from 16 to 28 inches, and is made of raw Cambodian hair with an HD lace closure and bleached knots.

Online orders are processed within one to three business days, excluding weekends and holidays, and ship with FedEx or UPS with signature confirmation on delivery. Custom units take 7 to 14 business days to arrive, and ready-to-ship items take 5 to 7 business days. Rush shipping is available for an extra fee. The salon suggests virgin hair extensions last one to two years with proper care and raw hair extensions at least three to four years, and that custom units last at least two years. It recommends shampooing extensions and units about every two weeks, air drying them, and using its own Oh So Sophisticated shampoo and conditioner. Extensions and units can be colored, and the salon suggests having a licensed professional do the coloring.

The salon centers on hair growth, healthy hair care and natural hair, alongside extensions and wig making.
