Hair Extensions Toronto | Tape-In, Bonds & More | Elevate Beauty Lofts

Hair extensions at Elevate Beauty Lofts in Toronto start from $300 for halo extensions and go to $500–$1,200+ for full keratin bond sets. Tape-in extensions typically start at $350–$700 depending on the number of pieces needed. A complimentary consultation is required before permanent extension services — pricing is confirmed at that appointment before anything is purchased.

Applied correctly by a certified specialist, extensions do not cause damage. Damage from extensions is almost always the result of the wrong method for the hair type, application to compromised hair, or missed move-up appointments. At Elevate, we conduct a full hair health assessment before every extension appointment and will not apply extensions if we believe they pose a risk to your hair’s integrity.

Tape-in extensions need a move-up (reposition) every 6–8 weeks as your natural hair grows. Keratin bond extensions last 12–16 weeks before a move-up. Halo extensions are not permanently attached and last until the hair itself wears out — usually 6–12 months with proper care. All extension methods require regular maintenance to stay looking natural and to protect your natural hair.

Often yes — fine hair can frequently support tape-in extensions or halo extensions when applied at the correct weight. Very fragile or actively thinning hair may not be suitable for bonded methods. Kat Donofrio at Elevate specializes in extensions for fine-haired clients and will give you an honest assessment at consultation. We will never apply extensions to hair that cannot safely support them.

As your natural hair grows, tape-in and bond extensions migrate down the hair shaft. A move-up appointment involves removing each tape tab or bond, cleaning the hair, and reapplying the extension at the new root position. This keeps extensions sitting correctly against the scalp, prevents tension, and allows the same extension hair to be reused (for tape-ins). Move-ups are booked before you leave your initial appointment.

You can use heat tools (straighteners, curling irons, blow dryers) on human hair extensions with a heat protectant — treat them as you would your own hair. For swimming, tie hair up and rinse immediately after chlorine or salt water exposure. Prolonged chlorine exposure can weaken adhesive bonds and dry out extension hair over time. Your stylist will advise specific precautions for your method.

Tape-in extensions are removed using a bond remover solution that dissolves the adhesive — painless and done in under an hour. Keratin bonds are removed using a bond-breaking tool and solution, then gently eased off the hair strand. Halo extensions simply lift out. Never attempt to remove bonded extensions at home — improper removal is one of the most common causes of extension-related breakage.

If something feels off — the weight, the blend, or the overall result — contact us within 48 hours of your appointment and we’ll make it right. Minor adjustments like blending cuts or toning are included at no charge. For larger concerns, we’ll assess in person and determine the best course of action together. Our goal is that you leave every appointment loving your hair.

Yes — a consultation is required before all permanent extension services (tape-in, bonds, wefts, nano rings). This is not a formality. We assess your hair’s health, select the right method, colour-match the extension hair, and confirm final pricing before anything is purchased or booked. Consultations are complimentary and take 30–45 minutes. Halo and clip-in fittings can often be done in a single appointment.
