Get answers to common questions about Take Down.

Most takedowns take between 30 minutes and 1.5 hours depending on extension type, attachment method, and hair condition. We allow time for careful removal, detangling, and a brief assessment to prepare your hair for its next service.

When performed correctly, our takedown minimizes breakage. Technicians evaluate hair health first and use gentle tools and products. If hair is weak, we recommend conditioning or postponing reapplication to reduce risk and promote stronger results.

Washing is not always necessary; clean, dry, and detangled hair speeds the process. Avoid heavy oils or styling products beforehand. If you're unsure, call us—we'll advise based on your extension type and recent salon history.

Reusability depends on the extension type and how they were maintained. Some tape-ins and wefts can be cleaned and reused, while bonded or damaged pieces may need replacement. We inspect and recommend the best, cost-effective option.

You can often have new extensions applied the same day if your scalp and hair are healthy. For fragile hair or restorative treatments, we may recommend waiting one to two weeks to strengthen and condition first.

Yes. We provide in-salon or virtual consultations to review extension type, hair condition, and your goals. This helps us plan a safe takedown, estimate timing, and recommend any preparatory treatments or aftercare.
