Hair Extensions in Raleigh, NC: Expert Color, Cutting, and Care at Artisan Hair Cary

Welcome to Artisan Hair Cary, the destination for Raleigh residents who want hair extensions done with skill, care, and real craftsmanship. Our salon sits at 5039 Arco Street in Alston Town Center in West Cary, a short 15 to 25 minute drive from downtown Raleigh via I-40 West to Exit 287 (Harrison Avenue) then north to Alston Town Center. Led by owner Rob Schutzbach, a Master Artisan and Educator with over 25 years of experience, our team delivers hair extensions service in an upscale, welcoming environment that Raleigh clients return to appointment after appointment.

Raleigh is a capital city of creative professionals, state employees, NC State alumni, and young families, and our Raleigh clients bring us stories from every corner of the community: heading downtown for First Friday, catching a game at PNC Arena, brunching in Five Points, or working from a coffee shop near NCSU.

Why Raleigh Clients Trust Us With Their Hair Extensions

You have your pick of salons inside the Beltline. Our Raleigh clients choose the short drive to Cary because of what happens in the chair, not what is down the street. The salons nearest to Five Points and the surrounding neighborhoods can certainly cut hair and apply color, but what our Raleigh clients consistently tell us is that nobody else takes the time we do. Every hair extensions service begins with a 15 minute consultation, a real conversation about what is actually working and what is not, and a plan we both agree to before we begin.

There is also a real technical factor that matters in Wake County. Raleigh's municipal water averages around 5 to 7 grains per gallon of hardness, which means mineral buildup can still dull color between salon visits. We account for that in every formulation, not just on your first visit.

What Makes Our Hair Extensions Different

Hand-Tied Beaded Rows

Our preferred method for most guests. Rows install with no glue, no heat, and no damage to your natural hair. Maintenance appointments run every 6 to 8 weeks and rows last 6 to 12 months.

Tape-In Extensions

Great for thickening fine hair without committing to a full row install. Tapes reuse for multiple moves and work well for clients who want a lower time commitment.

Custom Color Match Before Install

We do not place extensions until the color matches your ends within one tonal step. If we need to paint the wefts, we paint the wefts. Your install should vanish into your own hair.

Pricing for Raleigh Clients

Extension consultations are complimentary. Investment varies based on hair quality, length, and method. Expect $900 to $2,400 for first installs. Every consultation is complimentary, and we quote the total investment before any product touches your hair so there are no surprises at checkout.

Frequently Asked Hair Extensions Questions From Raleigh Clients

Do extensions damage my natural hair?

Not when installed and maintained correctly. Hand-tied beaded rows and properly applied tape-ins sit away from the scalp and distribute weight safely. We screen every new extension client for hair density and health before recommending a method.

How much do hair extensions cost?

Extension investment varies by length, density, and method. Most clients fall between $900 and $2,400 for the first install including hair. We walk you through pricing at the complimentary consultation.

How do I maintain extensions between appointments?

We coach every extension client on the right brush, sulfate-free shampoo, silk pillowcase, and sleeping technique before you leave. Return visits happen every 6 to 8 weeks for move-ups.
