How the ponytail is built
We begin with a silk press to create a smooth, manageable base before adding extensions. Once the natural hair is prepared, extensions are attached and the hair is molded into your chosen ponytail shape. The stylist wraps, seals, and finishes the extension so the ponytail sits sleek and secure for styling.
Hair is not included and must be purchased separately; bundles are not included in the install. We can source premium, color-ready extensions when you tell us the desired length, and we will handle selection and preparation. Price starts at $185 and the appointment duration is 75 minutes.
Choosing and preparing hair
Tell us the length you want and we’ll handle sourcing premium hair designed for long-term use and professional coloring. Because bundles are not included, confirm whether you are bringing your own extensions or purchasing them from the salon. Our stylists match texture and shade before installation so the ponytail looks cohesive.
A silk press is performed first to create the smooth base required before wrapping and sealing the extensions. In Washington's humid subtropical climate the silk press produces a uniform surface for molding the ponytail; the wrap-and-seal steps follow to secure the finished style and prepare it for daily styling.
Aftercare and appointment planning
Appointments are scheduled for 75 minutes, which covers silk pressing, molding, wrapping, sealing, and styling. We offer flexible early-morning and evening booking options to accommodate commuters using Rhode Island Ave–Brentwood and Brookland-CUA Metro stations, parents, and shift workers seeking convenient after-work or midday appointments.
On the day of service, bring the purchased extensions if you already own them, or let us know in advance so we can source hair for you. Also bring any reference images for shape and length preference; clear communication before arrival ensures the stylist can prepare the correct mold and matching hair.
