Frequently Asked Questions

• How do I book an appointment with Doris and Felicia?
  Simply dial 214-552-7435 (Doris) or 214-334-4500 (Felicia). Felicia or Doris are available to schedule a personal consultation where will discuss your current style and desired end result as well as answer any questions you have about any part of the process.
  
  
• Am I a candidate for Great Lengths hair extensions?
  The hair in the crown area (on the top of your head) needs to be at least three inches in length. Also, although rare, there may be health issues relating to your body and your hair that may prevent hair extensions from being an option. If you are unsure whether or not you are a candidate for hair extensions, call and talk with Felicia and Doris.
  
  
• How long does it last?
  Other than normal hair loss, your extensions will last approximately 4 to 6 months with proper home care.
  
  
• How long does this process take?
  Because Doris and Felicia both work at the same time on one client, they can do a full head of hair extensions in about 2 or 3 hours. Other salons with only one beautician doing all the work can take 6 hours or more. Both Felicia and Doris are licensed beauticians as well as professionally trained and certified Great Lengths technicians.
  
  
• Can you match my hair?
  Great Lengths are available in 45 classic colors, from blondes, reds, and brunette tones to deep, rich black - and the Great Lengths company is still designing more colors. Combined with Felicia and Doris's own expertise in coloring and cutting, you are assured of a perfect match!
  
  
• How do I maintain my hair once I have Great Lengths hair extensions?
  Great Lengths extensions are treated much the same as if it was your natural hair. There are certain brushes, shampoos, and conditioning products that are recommended. A loose braid or scrunchee is suggested at bedtime to discourage tangling while you sleep.
  
  
• Can I swim and do normal activities?
  Yes, once the application is completed, you will receive a home care maintenance sheet so you will know the best way to care for your Great Lengths extensions.
  
  
• Can my hair be colored at the same time?
  It is recommended that hair be colored or touched up a minimum of 48 hours prior to application of extensions.
  
  
• Can Great Lengths hair extensions be styled with heat rollers, curling iron, or round brush?
  Yes, if they are kept at an adequate distance from the Great Length bonds.
  
  
• Does anyone ever really get those wild colors?
  Yes! Anything from one wild, hot-pink streak hidden among your hair to a full head of shocking blue is possible. We can even match your prom dress!
