Hair extensions are magical. They add length, color, fullness and volume to your hair in just one appointment! Hair extensions come in a variety of types making it easy to find the right style and fit for your hair. Whether you’re interested in maintaining a full, natural look, preparing for a special event, or looking forward to a glamorous night out, hair extensions offer volume and style. Jyl Craven Hair Design is undeniably north Georgia’s best salon for hair extensions. With our experts guiding you every step of the way, changing your look has never been so easy.
Just a few short years ago, natural human hair extensions were for the very rich and the mega famous. We’d see models walking down the runway with a chic bob one day and long flowing locks the next, but regularly experimenting with our look was a little beyond the average person’s reach.
That is until the beauty industry heard our call and technology gave us natural, human hair extensions at affordable prices. Now any woman can step out of the house looking like a runway model.

Bellami Hair Extensions
At Jyl Craven Hair Design, we offer superior quality hair extensions created by Bellami, the most recognized hair extension brand in the world. Bellami extensions are made using only the finest cuticle intact, double-drawn 100% Remy human hair. Remy hair is the highest grade of hair used in hair extensions. Bellami has an amazing color shade range of 42 different shades to perfect every look. We offer different kinds of extensions to help our guests pick the best kind that fits their lifestyle.
When clients at Jyl Craven are considering hair extensions, our expert stylists can help describe the method he or she will use to put in your extensions. Some methods last longer than others. The method we choose for your hair extensions depends on many things that will be discussed during your consultation. Our trained stylists will look at the condition of your hair and scalp as well as talk to you about your lifestyle and leisure activities. A maintenance regime that suits your lifestyle will also be discussed during your consultation.
1. K-Tip Hair Extensions
Our stylists create your look with Bellami Keratin Tip (K-Tip) hair extensions by using a heating element that safely melts the Keratin Tips onto your own hair. This Keratin Tip also occurs naturally in the protein found in your hair.
A silicone additive on the K-Tip helps to create a protective coating for your natural hair strands as the hair extensions are applied. The K-tip hair extensions are bonded close to the roots of the hair. Your Bellami accredited stylist will ensure there is enough space to allow free movement of your hair which maintains a natural layered texture and feel to your hair.
Care for K-Tip hair extensions:
- Hair type: Cuticle Remy Hair
- Application time: 1-4 hours
- Maintenance: Avoid using products with sulfate near the bonds.
- Reapplication: 4-6 weeks
- Life span: 4-6 months
2. I-Tip Hair Extensions
Bellami I-Tip hair extensions are applied with a strand-by-strand approach, without using heat or glue. These hair extensions offer an especially great application method for those with thinner hair around their hairline.
Application of the I-Tip hair extensions is achieved by threading each I-Tip and a strand of the client’s hair into the Bellami looping tool, through a Bellami looping bead, and then attached by clamping the bead to the client’s hair. Bellami hair extensions use high-quality copper beads with protective silicone lining which is the most gentle on hair.
Care for I-Tip hair extensions:
- Hair type: Cuticle Remy Hair
- Application time: 1.5 – 3 hours
- Maintenance: Avoid the use of oils or silicone-based products near the attachment.
- Reapplication: 4-6 weeks
- Life span: 6-12 months
3. Weft Hair Extensions
Bellami Volume Weft hair extensions are ideal for coarse, curly or thicker hair. No tape, glue or heat is needed for this volume-enhancing look. Bellami accredited stylists apply Volume Sew-in Weft hair extensions, using a method of beads or braids to create a secure base with these carefully crafted tools:
- Bellami looping tool
- Bellami beads
- Bellami micro-beaded threader
- A curved sewing needle
- A spool of nylon-based thread
Care for Weft hair extensions:
- Hair type: Cuticle Remy Hair
- Application time: 1.5 – 3 hours
- Maintenance: Wash hair regularly. Avoid over-styling, as this can cause the braids to come loose. Shampoo, blow-dry curl or straighten as you would with your normal hair.
- Reapplication: 4-6 weeks
- Life span: 6-12 months
4. Tape-In Hair Extensions
Bellami tape-in hair extensions use a unique polyurethane adhesive tape, developed and tested over 3 years. Tape-ins create a secure and comfortable weft while worn by the guest, as well as easy removal and reapplication of hair extensions for the stylist.
To apply these hair extensions, remove the backing from the weft exposing the polyurethane and lay a thin veil of hair over the top. The stylist applies the second weft directly on top of the first weft, “sandwiching” the natural hair in between. However, guests with thinner hair have the option to use only single weft hair extensions with single-sided tape which will create a realistic and natural density.
Care for Tape- In hair extensions:
- Hair type: Cuticle Remy Hair
- Application time: 0.5 – 1.5 hours
- Maintenance: Wash hair gently. Shampoo, blow-dry curl or straighten as you would with your normal hair.
- Reapplication: 6-9 weeks
- Life span: 6-12 months
Hair Extensions Care and Maintenance
You can wake up and wash your hair extensions just like you would your regular hair. And after the shower, you can blow-dry, straighten, curl or otherwise style your extensions just like you would have with your regular hair. Essentially, hair extensions are like an extension of yourself! With hair extensions applied using the loop method, there’s no need to worry about tugging them out with the curling iron or with vigorous scalp washing.
Just like with a haircut or color, long-term hair extensions will need to be maintained as your natural hair grows out. Caring for hair extensions requires some maintenance, but the process is relatively simple. Here are our stylists top tips for hair extensions maintenance.
- Thoroughly wash your hair 1-2 times a week.

- Never brush or use styling tools on completely wet hair extensions.
- Braid your hair before sleeping to help keep your hair untangled and the hair extensions in-tact.
- K-Tip hair extensions: Avoid using products with sulfate near the bonds.
- I-Tip hair extensions: Avoid the use of oils or silicone-based products near the attachment.
- Volume Weft hair extensions: Wash hair regularly. Avoid over-styling, as this can cause the braids to come loose. Shampoo, blow-dry curl or straighten as you would with your normal hair.
