Everything You Need To Know
Frequently Asked Questions
Hair extensions, pricing, colour matching, delivery and booking — answered by the Crystal team in Dubai.
General
Where is Crystal Hair Extensions located?
We are in Dubai, UAE. Main salon: The Iridium Building, Unit 215, Al Barsha. Second location on Jumeira Street, Jumeirah First. Book a visit or colour-match consultation on WhatsApp.
What types of hair extensions do you sell?
We supply 100% Remy single-donor human hair extensions: hand-tied wefts, tape-ins, K-tip (keratin bonds), I-tips, clip-in wefts, a full colour collection (dark brown, ash blonde, jet black, balayage, golden blonde) and bespoke hand-made toppers.
How much do hair extensions cost in Dubai?
Extension sets start around AED 220 for a 50g hand-tied weft and typically range AED 1,000–1,500 for a full colour-matched set. Bespoke toppers are made to order from AED 1,500. Exact pricing depends on length, density and method — book a free consultation for a quote.
Are the extensions real human hair?
Yes — 100% Remy human hair from single donors, double-drawn so thickness runs root to tip. The cuticles are kept aligned in one direction, which prevents tangling and matting. As natural hair, slight variation in colour and texture is normal.
How long do hair extensions last?
With salon-grade hair and proper care, our extensions last 6–12 months of regular wear. Tape-ins are refitted every 6–8 weeks; K-tip bonds 3–4 months; hand-tied wefts are reused and moved up every 8–10 weeks.
Do you colour-match extensions to my hair?
Yes, free colour-matching is part of every consultation. Our stylists assess your base shade, tone and how light catches your ends, then select or custom-blend from our range — including balayage melts for a lived-in finish.
How do I book an appointment?
Message us on WhatsApp at +971 58 501 6669 with the service or product you're interested in. We reply with available slots for Al Barsha or Jumeirah. Consultations and colour matches are free.
Do you deliver in the UAE?
Yes — fast UAE delivery on orders over AED 500 is free, dispatched in 1–2 business days by courier. Cash on delivery, card, bank transfer and WhatsApp ordering are all supported.
Can extensions damage my hair?
Fitted correctly, no. We use weight-matched, gentle methods (hand-tied wefts, flat tape-ins, keratin K-tips) and never overload fine hair. Professional fitting plus our care routine keeps natural hair healthy.
What is a bespoke hair topper?
A hand-knotted, single-donor topper built from scratch for volume or coverage at the crown. Lightweight and undetectable, each takes 4–6 weeks to craft and is priced by length, density and base size.
What aftercare products should I use?
Use sulphate-free shampoo 2–3 times a week, condition from mid-lengths down, keep heat tools on medium with a protectant, and braid hair loosely before bed — ideally on a silk pillowcase.
Can I wash and style extensions like normal hair?
Yes. Because it's 100% Remy human hair you can wash, curl, straighten and colour it — always with heat protectant and sulphate-free products, and avoid oil-based products near bonds or tapes.
How long does hair extension application take?
Tape-ins take 60–90 minutes for a full head, hand-tied wefts about 1.5–2 hours, and K-tip or I-tip strand methods 2–3 hours. We confirm your exact appointment length at the free consultation.
How often should I book extension maintenance?
Tape-ins are refitted every 6–8 weeks, hand-tied wefts every 8–10 weeks, and keratin bonds are checked at 6 weeks with a 3–4 month wear cycle. Our maintenance menu includes refits, encapsulation and bond care.
Do you maintain extensions that were not bought from Crystal?
Yes — book extension maintenance on WhatsApp and tell us which method you wear. We will assess the hair honestly and quote before any work starts.
Can you colour or treat my hair while I wear extensions?
Yes. Our salon offers full colour, balayage, toners and treatments (keratin, botox, Olaplex/K18 and more) — we work around bonds and tapes carefully and use extension-safe formulas.
What hair treatments do you offer besides extensions?
Cut & style, hair colour (balayage, highlights, gloss), and treatments including keratin, hair botox, protein, anti-hair-fall, scalp detox and Olaplex/K18 — all listed with prices on the Services page.
How do I book an appointment at Crystal Hair Extensions?
Message +971 58 501 6669 on WhatsApp with the service or product you are interested in. Consultations and colour matches are free, at The Iridium Building (Al Barsha) or Jumeirah First.
Which payment methods do you accept?
Cash on delivery, card, bank transfer and WhatsApp ordering. UAE delivery is free on orders over AED 500.
Do you fit brides or event bookings?
Yes — message us with your date and we will plan a trial, colour match and fitting schedule around it.
Weft Extensions
What is a hand-tied weft?
A weft sewn entirely by hand from premium single-donor hair — lighter, thinner and more flexible than machine wefts, so it lies flat against the head and blends seamlessly.
How much does a hand-tied weft cost?
Our hand-tied wefts are priced per 50g from AED 220. A full head typically needs 3–5 wefts depending on the density you want — we advise on quantity during your consultation.
Tape-In Extensions
How are tape-in extensions applied?
Thin wefts are taped either side of a section of your own hair — no heat, glue or bonds. A full head takes about 60–90 minutes and the tapes are reusable.
How often do tape-ins need refitting?
Every 6–8 weeks. The same hair is removed and re-taped closer to the scalp, so one set typically lasts several refits.
K-Tip Extensions
What are K-tip extensions?
Individual strands fused to your natural hair with a keratin bond. They move naturally, suit thicker hair, and last 3–4 months before removal or refit.
I-Tip Extensions
What is the difference between I-tip and K-tip?
I-tips are attached with a micro-ring (no heat); K-tips are fused with a keratin bond using gentle heat. Both look identical when worn — we recommend based on your hair type.
Custom Toppers
How long does a bespoke topper take?
Each topper is hand-knotted from single-donor hair and takes 4–6 weeks to complete, built to your base size, length and density specs.
Dark Brown Luxury Extensions
Will Dark Brown extensions match my hair?
Dark Brown is our most-ordered natural shade — rich but not black. Bring or send a daylight photo and we confirm the match free before you order.
Can Dark Brown extensions be toned darker?
Yes, they are 100% Remy human hair and take professional toning well. Strand-test first, or visit our salon colourists.
Ash Blonde Luxury Extensions
Will Ash Blonde extensions go brassy in Dubai water?
No — the hair is silicone-free and colour-true, and a purple toner keeps the cool tone. Desalinated tap water is safe with sulphate-free shampoo.
Who suits Ash Blonde extensions?
Pink and neutral undertones. If your skin is warm or olive, Sunkissed Golden Blonde or the Walnut/Ash Balayage usually blends better.
Jet Black Luxury Extensions
Is Jet Black too harsh for my skin tone?
Jet Black suits deep and cool undertones best and gives mirror-like gloss. Try Dark Brown first if you want one step softer — we show both at a free match.
How shiny are Jet Black extensions?
Very — single-donor hair with aligned cuticles reflects light like glass, especially on long lengths.
Walnut Brown / Ash Blonde Balayage
What does the Walnut/Ash Balayage blend into?
A warm walnut-brown root melting into cool ash-blonde ends — it copies natural sun-lightening, so the grow-out stays soft.
Is the balayage set on sale?
Check the live product page for current pricing — the Walnut/Ash Balayage set runs periodic sale pricing below the regular AED 1,350.
Sunkissed Golden Blonde Extensions
Who suits Sunkissed Golden Blonde?
Warm, golden and olive skin tones — it delivers beachy, holiday dimension without brassiness.
Does the golden blonde need special care?
Only the routine all Remy hair loves: sulphate-free wash, purple toner occasionally, heat protectant, and no oil near attachments.
Hand-Tied Weft — 50g
How many 50g wefts make a full head?
Usually 3–5 wefts (150–250g) depending on your natural hair density and the look you want — we advise the exact count at your free consultation.
Is the AED 220 price per weft or per gram?
AED 220 buys a 50g hand-tied weft, colour-matched to your hair. Application is booked separately as a salon service.
Custom Clip-In Weft — 100g
How long does a custom clip-in take to make?
We hand-stitch your weft to your measurements and colour — typically ready within a week, confirmed at ordering.
Are clip-ins damaging?
Not when sized correctly and removed at night. There are no bonds, tapes or heat — the gentlest way to wear extensions.
Bespoke Hair Topper — Made To Order
Why does a bespoke topper take 4–6 weeks?
Every piece is hand-knotted strand by strand from single-donor hair after templating your base size — craftsmanship that cannot be rushed.
What decides the final topper price?
Length, density and base size, quoted at your free consultation. Builds start at AED 1,500.
Professional Hair Extension Cutter
Can this cutter trim keratin bonds as well as wefts?
Yes — the hardened blade is engineered for clean passes through wefts and K-tip bonds without fraying.
Is it suitable for home users?
If you trim your own extensions, yes. The ergonomic grip suits salon daily use too.
Professional Hair Extension Brush
Why a loop brush instead of a normal brush?
The looped bristles glide over bonds, tapes and rings instead of snagging them — the safest daily brush for extension hair.
How often should I brush extensions?
Daily, from the ends upward in sections, and before washing to prevent tangles.
Capsule Making Machine
Who needs a capsule making machine?
Stylists and salons making their own K-tip strands. Precise temperature control forms uniform, strong keratin capsules every time.
Does it work with bulk hair?
Yes — load your keratin and hair, and the machine forms consistent capsules ready for fusion.
Extension Fixing Machine
What does a fixing machine do?
It is the heat connector for K-tip application — even, controlled heat fuses keratin bonds quickly and securely.
Is the heat safe for hair?
Yes when used at professional settings. Even heat distribution avoids hot spots — the same machines our fitters use.
Extension Application Tool Kit
What is inside the application kit?
Micro-ring pliers, pulling hooks and an assortment of rings in matching tones — everything for I-tip and nano-ring fitting.
Can home users buy this kit?
It is designed for stylists. DIY fitting risks damage — book our application service instead; the kit suits professionals trained in micro-rings.
Hair Extension Holder Mat
Why use a holder mat during application?
It grips wefts and bundles in order while you work — no tangles, no mix-ups, faster fittings.
Does it fit in a stylist trolley?
Yes — flexible, wipe-clean and rolls for storage in any salon setup.
How Much Do Hair Extensions Cost In Dubai? (2026 Guide)
How much are hair extensions in Dubai for a full head?
A full head of quality single-donor Remy extensions in Dubai typically costs AED 1,000–1,500 at Crystal Hair Extensions, depending on method and grams. Hand-tied wefts start at AED 220 per 50g, so a 3–5 weft full head is AED 660–1,100 before application.
Are expensive extensions worth it?
Yes — single-donor Remy hair lasts 6–12 months and survives multiple refits, so cost-per-wear is lower than cheap hair that mats after weeks. It also colour-matches better and stays glossy through Dubai summers.
Do I pay for application separately?
Application and maintenance are booked as salon services, quoted at your free consultation. The hair itself is priced per product or per 50g for wefts.
What Is A Hand-Tied Weft? The Complete Guide
What is a hand-tied weft?
A strip of extension hair sewn by hand from single-donor Remy hair. The seam is much thinner and more flexible than a machine weft, so it lies flat, hides completely and feels lighter on the head.
How much does a hand-tied weft cost in Dubai?
AED 220 per 50g at Crystal Hair Extensions. A full head usually needs 3–5 wefts (AED 660–1,100 for the hair), plus application booked at your free consultation.
How often do hand-tied wefts need moving up?
Every 8–10 weeks. The weft is removed and sewn back closer to the scalp; the same hair is reused for 6–12 months.
Tape-In Hair Extensions: Everything To Know Before Your Appointment
How long do tape-in extensions take to apply?
A full head of tape-ins takes about 60–90 minutes — the fastest full-volume method we offer. Refits take roughly the same time every 6–8 weeks.
Can you see tape-in extensions in fine hair?
No — the wefts are only a few millimetres wide at the seam and sit flat against the head, which is why tape-ins are our most popular method for fine hair.
Can I style tape-ins with heat?
Yes, it is 100% Remy human hair: curl, straighten and colour-tone it. Use heat protectant, keep tools on medium, and avoid oils near the tapes.
K-Tip vs I-Tip Keratin Extensions: Which Bonding Method Fits You?
What is the difference between K-tip and I-tip extensions?
K-tips are fused with a keratin bond using gentle heat; I-tips are clamped into a micro-ring with no heat. They look identical when worn and both last 3–4 months — we recommend based on your hair type and scalp sensitivity.
How long do keratin bond extensions last?
3–4 months of wear before removal or refit. With 6–12 month hair lifespan and proper care, most clients reuse strands across two cycles.
Do keratin bonds damage natural hair?
Fitted at the correct gram weight and removed professionally, no. Damage almost always comes from overloaded strands or DIY removal — book bond maintenance with us instead.
Bespoke Hair Toppers: Undetectable Volume & Coverage, Made From Scratch
What is a bespoke hair topper?
A hand-knotted panel of single-donor human hair made to your exact base size, length and density. It clips over the crown for natural volume or coverage and blends undetectably with your own hair.
How long does a custom topper take to make?
4–6 weeks. Every piece is hand-knotted from scratch after we template your base size and match your colour in salon.
How much does a bespoke topper cost in Dubai?
From AED 1,500 at Crystal Hair Extensions, with the final price depending on length, density and base size — quoted at your free consultation.
Balayage Extensions & The Five Shades That Suit Dubai Light
Do balayage extensions look natural?
Yes — the whole point of the melt. A deeper root lifting into lighter ends copies how hair actually lightens in the sun, so the grow-out is soft and the blend with your own hair is seamless.
Can I tone or colour my extension hair?
It is 100% Remy human hair, so professional toning works. Always strand-test first and keep bleach away from bonds and tapes — or bring it to our salon colourists instead.
The Professional Guide To Hair Extension Tools
Which tools do I need for keratin extensions?
A capsule making machine to form uniform keratin bonds and a heat connector (fixing machine) to fuse them. Add a loop brush for daily aftercare.
Can I cut extension wefts with normal scissors?
You can, but household blades fray extension hair. A professional extension cutter gives one clean, blunt pass through wefts and keratin without split ends.
Clip-In Wefts: Custom-Made, Ready In Minutes, Kind To Your Hair
How much do custom clip-in extensions cost in Dubai?
AED 500 per 100g at Crystal Hair Extensions — handmade from our single-donor wefts, colour-matched and cut to your measurements.
Can I sleep in clip-in extensions?
No. Remove them before bed — sleeping in clips stresses both your natural hair and the clips. Removal takes seconds and the hair lasts 6–12 months when stored properly.
