One of the first questions every new client asks is simple: which type of extension is right for me? It's the right question to ask — because the method matters just as much as the hair. The wrong application can damage fine hair or feel bulky and obvious, while the right one is completely undetectable and protects your natural hair underneath.
Here's an honest breakdown of the three most popular methods, and who each one suits best.
Weft extensions — the gold standard for longevity
A weft is a curtain of hair applied in a row, attached to small beads or a fine braid created from your own hair. At Stevi Pisoni, we install only the flattest, slimmest mini wefts on the market, using methods designed to sit invisibly and comfortably.
Best for: anyone wanting long-term, low-maintenance volume and length that you can wear up, down, or in a high ponytail without detection. Our Invisible Tack and Waterfall Weft methods are especially suited to fine or thinning hair, because the wefts are sandwiched to conceal the beads entirely.
Worth knowing: wefts are professionally installed and need a move-up every 6–8 weeks as your hair grows. In return, you get the most seamless, durable result available — and with premium Russian hair, the same hair can be reused for years.
Tape extensions — fast, but with trade-offs
Tape extensions are thin wefts attached with adhesive tabs that sandwich a section of your own hair. They apply quickly and lie flat, which is why they're popular.
Best for: those wanting a quick application and a flat result.
Worth knowing: the adhesive requires careful maintenance, can slip with oils or heat, and the removal process can stress fine hair if not done correctly. For many of our clients seeking longevity and the gentlest option for delicate hair, a slim weft method is the better long-term investment.
Clip-in extensions — freedom and control
Clip-ins are exactly what they sound like: wefts with small, secure clips that you apply and remove yourself, whenever you like. Our Custom Clip-Ins are handcrafted to your exact colour, length, and density — up to 200g worn in two slim pieces for a natural, disconnect-free blend.
Best for: anyone who wants transformation on demand — volume for an event, length for a holiday — with zero commitment and no salon appointment. They're also the gentlest option, because nothing is permanently attached to your hair.
Worth knowing: because you wear them only when you want to, clip-ins made from premium Russian hair can last exceptionally well. They're the perfect entry point into luxury hair — and a favourite even among women who also wear wefts.
And one more: the Secret Pony
If it's instant glamour you're after, our Secret Pony deserves a mention — the industry's only no-show ponytail extension, made from 100% Russian Virgin hair. It installs in under two minutes, is completely invisible, and needs no salon maintenance at all.
So, which should you choose?
As a guide: choose wefts for permanent, everyday length and volume; clip-ins for flexible, commitment-free transformation; and the Secret Pony for instant, effortless glamour. But the truest answer always depends on your individual hair, your routine, and the result you're dreaming of.
That's exactly what a consultation is for. Reserve yours and we'll recommend the method that's genuinely right for you — no guesswork, just expertise.
