Royal Wedding Hair

Ok ok you are probably sick of hearing about the Royal Wedding but we couldn't help but give a little shout out to Racoon International. Richard Ward Salon & Metro Spa styled Kate Middleton's hair for her big day. When working with Racoon, Richard Ward had this to say: "When we decided the time was right to provide hair extensions in our salon, we selected Racoon International as they were streets ahead on professionalism, backup, and training. The system enables our stylists to create wearable and desirable styles."
Whether you're looking for a full head of nice long hair or a few extensions around your face to blend some breakage, Racoon is the way to go. We do free extension consultations at Salon K so stop in and we can tell you more about them! Pin It

Racoon Hair Extensions

At Salon K we specialize in Racoon Hair Extensions. Racoon has two different methods, Micro-Wefts and Bonded. They are Euro Hair which is the finest quality human hair. Extensions are great for lengthening and/or thickening your hair. They are also great for Frontals, hair tends to break off around the face making the front shorter and back longer, you can add some extensions around the front making your hair feel longer and thicker.

Our stylists take a 2 day training course to learn the Bonded Method ensuring they are confident and can deliver a first class extension service. It is a specially formulated bonding agent (made from a mixture of completely harmless natural and synthetic compounds, including orange peel and pine kernal extracts) is added to the extension hair and then molded to the natural hair using a silicone rubber pad. The great thing about creating our own bonds is the hair colors can be completely customized to your hair. A full head of extensions usually takes 3-4 hours and lasts 3-4 months. You can then come in and rotate the hair extensions using the same hair.

The Micro Weft method is more temporary then the Bonded Method. A full head typically takes around 1 hour and lasts 3-4 weeks. The Micro Wefts are about 1 inch wide and are super thin. They use a patented "sticky tape" (for lack of a better word) to attach on the top and bottom of small sections. This method is great if you are new to extensions, for special occasions (dances, weddings, etc) or if you don't want to spend a lot of money in the short run. You can reuse the hair as well.

Because extension hair requires different care than natural hair, Racoon developed the Xtend Range to properly care for and mantain hair extensions. They are also excellent for natural hair. Their line includes a Shampoo, Conditioner, Deep Conditioning Mask, Everyday Leave-In Spray, Thermal Defense and a Serum.
