Hair Extensions in Raleigh NC | Artisan Hair Cary
Raleigh Has Extension Studios on Every Corner. Here's Why Some Clients Still Drive to Cary.
Inside the Beltline you can find an extension appointment almost anywhere. Raleigh clients who make the 15 to 25 minute drive out to Artisan Hair Cary in Alston Town Center are usually chasing a color match that actually disappears, not just length. Rob Schutzbach, Master Artisan and Educator with over 25 years of experience, oversees the extension program here.
Hand-tied rows, tape-ins, and keratin-bond extensions matched to your natural color, for Raleigh clients who care more about the result than the convenience.
Raleigh clients mention First Fridays downtown, games at PNC Arena, brunch in Five Points, and coffee shop mornings near NC State while we're working through color and method.

What Five Points Clients Tell Us
Five Points and the rest of Raleigh have extension studios much closer to home. What clients mention after their first visit here is the screening process, a real assessment of hair density and health before we recommend a method at all.
Color matching gets the same attention. We won't install until the extension color sits within one tonal step of your own hair, hand-painting wefts when that's what it takes to blend seamlessly.
Methods We Use
Hand-Tied Beaded Rows
Our most common recommendation for most guests. No glue, no heat, no damage to natural hair. Move-ups run every 6 to 8 weeks, with rows lasting 6 to 12 months.
Tape-In Extensions
A solid option for thickening fine hair without a full row install, with tapes reusable across appointments for a lower time commitment.
Color Match Before the Install
We hand-paint wefts as needed so the color disappears into your own hair rather than sitting a shade off.
Pricing
Investment varies by hair quality, length, and method. See current pricing on our Service Menu, with a full quote given at your complimentary consultation.

Raleigh Clients Ask Us
Is there a risk of damage to my own hair?
Done right, no. The weight of a hand-tied row or a properly placed tape-in gets distributed evenly rather than pulling on any one section, and there's no glue or heat involved with beaded rows specifically. We look at your hair's actual condition at consultation before suggesting anything.
What's a realistic budget for my first set?
That's a function of length, density, and which method fits your hair. Rather than guess, check current starting figures on our Service Menu and we'll narrow it down during your free consultation.
What does living with extensions look like day to day?
Mostly normal, with a few adjustments: a looser brush, sulfate-free shampoo, and a slightly different way of sleeping so you're not tugging on the wefts overnight. We cover all of it before you leave, and you'll be back every 6 to 8 weeks for a move-up.
