Hair Extension Methods
Not all hair extensions are created equal, and the right method depends on your natural hair texture, lifestyle, budget, and desired look. Linda offers comprehensive consultations to assess your hair and recommend the best extension method for beautiful, long-lasting results. Here's what you need to know about each technique offered at Altitude Salon.
Tape-In Extensions
Quick application, natural movement, reusable.
Tape-in extensions feature thin tape applied in "sandwiches" around small sections of your natural hair. This method is fast to apply, lies flat against the head, and creates seamless, natural movement. Tape-ins are lightweight, comfortable, and perfect for adding both length and volume.
Best for:
- Fine to medium hair textures
- Those wanting a quick application process (1-2 hours)
- Anyone with an active lifestyle
- Clients seeking a semi-permanent, reusable option
Application time: 1-2 hours
Lifespan: 6-8 weeks between maintenance appointments
Reusable: Yes, tape can be replaced and extensions reapplied
Ideal if you want: Fast installation with natural, layered movement and minimal daily maintenance
Micro Link Extensions
No heat, no glue, no chemicals—just natural results.
Micro link extensions (I-tip extensions) attach individual strands of extension hair to small sections of your natural hair using tiny, discreet metal beads. The beads are clamped securely in place—no adhesives, heat, or chemicals required. This method offers incredible flexibility, natural movement, and is one of the safest options for your natural hair.
Best for:
- All hair types, especially fine to medium textures
- Those wanting a damage-free, chemical-free method
- Clients who swim frequently or have active lifestyles
- Anyone seeking long-lasting, low-maintenance extensions
Application time: 2-4 hours depending on coverage
Lifespan: 8-12 weeks between move-up appointments
Reusable: Yes, can be moved up multiple times with new beads
Ideal if you want: Maximum hair health protection with natural, strand-by-strand customization
Laser Nano Extensions
The most advanced, virtually invisible extension technology.
Laser Nano extensions represent the cutting edge of hair extension technology. These ultra-small, nano-sized attachments are even smaller than micro links, making them virtually undetectable even in the finest hair. The application uses specialized tools for precise placement, creating the most discreet and comfortable extension experience available. Perfect for clients who want maximum invisibility.
Best for:
- Very fine or thin hair that can't support larger attachments
- Those wanting absolutely invisible, undetectable extensions
- Clients with short hair who need precise placement
- Anyone seeking the most advanced extension technology
Application time: 3-4 hours for full application
Lifespan: 12-16 weeks between move-up appointments
Reusable: Yes, can be repositioned with maintenance
Ideal if you want: The most invisible, comfortable, state-of-the-art extension method available
Keratin Fusion Extensions
Long-lasting, secure, strand-by-strand perfection.
Keratin fusion extensions (also called K-tip bonded or pre-bonded extensions) attach individual extension strands to your natural hair using keratin bonds that are heat-activated and sealed. The keratin protein bonds are similar to your natural hair's composition, creating a strong, flexible connection. This method offers exceptional longevity and incredibly natural movement with each strand blending seamlessly.
Best for:
- Fine to thick hair textures
- Those wanting the longest-lasting extension method
- Clients seeking maximum styling versatility
- Anyone who wants strand-by-strand customization
Application time: 3-4 hours for full head
Lifespan: 4-6 months before removal and reinstallation
Reusable: Sometimes (when in good condition) extensions can be rebonded and reapplied
Ideal if you want: The most permanent, secure option with natural movement and maximum longevity

Linda's Specialty: Fine Hair Extensions
Linda has built her reputation as Alpharetta's trusted specialist for clients with fine, thin, or delicate hair—the cases where precision and expertise matter most.
Her Customized Approach:
- Weft customization: Linda meticulously trims or thins each weft to match your hair's natural density, ensuring seamless blending without any pulling or stress on fine strands
- Strategic placement: Expert positioning that maximizes volume while distributing weight evenly to protect your natural hair health
- Method mastery: Specialized expertise in Laserbeamer Nano and Micro Link extensions—the lightest, most invisible options perfect for fine hair textures
- Color precision: Hand-selecting and blending multiple shades to create dimension that looks completely natural on finer hair
Many of Linda's clients have been told elsewhere that their hair was "too fine" for extensions. Linda proves them wrong every time.
Perfect Color Match for Your Extensions
One of the most critical aspects of beautiful hair extensions is achieving a seamless color match. Linda works with premium 100% human hair extensions available in an extensive range of natural colors, from the deepest blacks and rich browns to warm blondes and vibrant reds. Whether you need a perfect match to your natural color or want to add dimension with highlights and lowlights, Linda ensures your extensions blend flawlessly.
A rainbow of options: Professional-grade human hair extensions in dozens of natural shades
Custom Color Matching Process
During your consultation, Linda assesses your natural hair color under proper lighting, considering your base color, highlights, lowlights, and any color variations throughout your hair. She then selects extension colors that will blend seamlessly with your natural hair for an undetectable finish.
For clients with multi-dimensional color, Linda often recommends blending multiple extension shades to create depth and dimension that matches your natural hair perfectly. Extensions can also be professionally colored, cut, and styled to integrate flawlessly with your existing hair.
Creating Dimension with Extensions
Don't have highlights or balayage but want that dimensional, sun-kissed look? Linda can customize your extensions to create beautiful dimension and depth. By strategically blending multiple shades—lighter pieces throughout for highlights or a gradual color melt for balayage—Linda can give you that coveted multi-tonal look without any chemical processing on your natural hair. It's a damage-free way to add brightness, dimension, and visual interest to your hair color.
Already have highlights or balayage? No problem! Linda specializes in blending extensions with complex color work, often using multiple shades or custom-coloring extensions to achieve perfect integration. Want to add dimension? Linda can customize your extensions with highlight or balayage placement to give you that multi-dimensional look you've always wanted—no bleach required on your natural hair!
The Hair Extension Process
Your journey to gorgeous, longer hair begins with education and consultation. Linda takes the time to ensure you understand the process, maintenance requirements, and realistic expectations for your chosen extension method.
Consultation & Hair Assessment
Your appointment begins with a thorough consultation where Linda learns about your hair goals, lifestyle, and budget. She examines your natural hair, assessing texture, density, length, and overall hair health. This assessment determines which extension method will work best for your hair type and goals.
Linda explains each recommended method, discusses pros and cons, covers maintenance requirements, and answers all your questions. You'll discuss desired length, volume level, color matching, and investment. By the end of your consultation, you'll have a clear understanding of what to expect and a customized plan for your extensions.
Color Matching & Extension Selection
Once you've chosen your extension method, Linda selects the perfect hair color and quality for your needs. She considers your natural color, any existing color services, and desired final look. For clients with highlights or dimensional color, Linda may blend multiple shades or recommend custom coloring for seamless integration.
Extensions are ordered in your specific color, texture, and length. Linda uses only premium 100% human hair extensions from trusted suppliers known for quality, longevity, and natural appearance.
Preparation & Baseline
On installation day, Linda begins by shampooing and conditioning your hair to ensure a clean foundation. For some methods, she may trim or layer your natural hair to create the best foundation for extension application and blending. If your extensions will be colored, this is done before installation.
Extension Application
Now for the transformation! Depending on your chosen method, Linda meticulously applies your extensions:
- Tape-ins: Applied in small sections, sandwiching your natural hair between adhesive wefts
- Micro Link: Your hair is sectioned and individual extension strands are secured with tiny metal beads
- Laser Nano: Ultra-small nano attachments are precisely placed using specialized tools
- Keratin Fusion: Individual keratin-bonded strands are heat-sealed to your natural hair
Throughout the application, Linda ensures even distribution, proper placement for natural movement, and secure attachment for longevity.
Cutting, Styling & Blending
Once extensions are installed, the real artistry begins. Linda cuts and layers the extensions to blend seamlessly with your natural hair, creating a cohesive, natural look. She styles your hair to show you the final result and teaches you how to care for and style your new extensions at home.
You'll leave the salon with gorgeous, flowing hair and complete confidence in caring for your extensions.
Maintenance Appointments
Hair extensions require regular maintenance to keep them looking beautiful and to protect your natural hair health. Depending on your extension method, you'll return every 6-16 weeks for maintenance, trimming, toning, and refreshing as needed.
Regular maintenance appointments ensure your extensions remain secure, comfortable, and beautiful while protecting your natural hair's health and integrity.
Installation time varies by method: Tape-ins (1-2 hours), Micro Link (2-4 hours), Laser Nano (3-4 hours), Keratin Fusion (3-4 hours)
Plan ahead: Arrive with clean, dry hair unless otherwise instructed. Avoid heavy conditioners or oils before installation.

Why Choose Altitude Salon for Hair Extensions
Choosing the right extension specialist is crucial to achieving beautiful, natural results and protecting your hair health. At Altitude Salon, Linda combines technical expertise with artistic vision and a genuine commitment to client satisfaction. Here's what sets Linda apart.
Certified Extension Specialist
Linda is professionally trained and certified in multiple hair extension methods including tape-ins, Micro Link, Laserbeamer Nano, and Keratin Fusion. She stays current with the latest techniques, products, and best practices through ongoing education and training with leading extension brands.
Premium Quality Extensions
Linda uses only 100% human hair extensions from trusted, reputable suppliers known for quality and longevity. These extensions can be heat-styled, colored, and treated just like your natural hair, and they move, feel, and look completely natural. No synthetic materials, no compromises on quality.
Customized Approach
No two clients are identical, and neither are Linda's extension applications. She takes the time to assess your unique hair texture, density, and condition, then recommends the best method and approach for your specific needs. Your extensions are custom-cut, colored, and styled for seamless blending and natural movement.
Natural Hair Health Priority
Your natural hair health is Linda's top concern. She will never apply extensions if she believes your hair isn't strong enough to support them, and she may recommend strengthening treatments first. During maintenance appointments, she carefully monitors your natural hair to ensure it remains healthy and strong beneath the extensions.
Honest Guidance & Education
Linda believes in education and transparency. She'll honestly tell you what's realistic for your hair, what maintenance you can expect, and whether extensions are the right choice for you. You'll never feel pressured or sold something you don't need—just honest, expert advice from someone who genuinely cares about your satisfaction.
Long-Term Partnership
Your relationship with Linda extends beyond the initial installation. She's committed to supporting you through your entire extension journey with regular maintenance, styling tips, product recommendations, and adjustments as needed. Many clients have been with Linda for years, trusting her with all their hair needs from extensions to color, cuts, and styling.

She always fits me into her busy schedule with my last minute requests. Once you get to know Linda and experience her talent you will not go anywhere else. She is just awesome."
— Te'a Metro
"I have been going to Linda since I first moved to Atlanta back in 2011 when she fixed a horrific haircut that someone else gave me. I have followed her to every salon she has worked at after that and she is truly the only person I trust to touch my hair! I have referred her to many friends as well. Not only is she amazing with color and cut but she's also the QUEEN of updos and eyebrows. Highly recommend Linda for all things beauty!"
— Adina Nazri
