Hair extensions used to be just for celebrities or those that were follically challenged. Now that they are more accessible, women of all walks can wear them to enhance their look and expand their hairstyling options. Whether you want instant bangs, a full-bodied do or a feather ponytail, these five local hair salons offer a good selection of extensions and top-notch stylists to put them in (and remove them) for you.

Salon Moraee provides a variety of services in a relaxing setting complete with free parking, free wifi and a refreshment bar. While many hair salons have stylists that will put in weaves, only a few actually have the extensions for sale. Salon Moree does sell hair on its sister website www.exploremirage.com. The site offers a lot of details like the hair’s origin, how many packs you need for your look and whether it can be dyed or curled.

Paragon Your Salon, located in the heart of Midtown, boasts to be a full-service, urban (mostly child-free) retreat and the customer reviews on Facebook sing its praises. Note the salon’s motto regarding the cancellation policy: “Time is precious. Once it is lost it cannot be replaced.” Paragon requires up to a three-days’ notice or it will charge a fee. As a fun fact, the entire team’s bios are on the website with each sharing their experience in the industry as well as their outside interests.

If you have roots in New York, you will appreciate the nod to home with Mia’s Dominican Salon. Because the Dominican Republic boasts such a diverse group of people, Mia’s stylists are adept with doing all types hair, especially curly or wavy hair. If you prefer wearing your hair in a natural state (without perms or chemicals), Dominican styling is a good alternative to traditional styling because its straightening techniques are effective but only last until you wash your hair next. Mia’s does offer extension styling but you will need to call for a consultation first.
