Frequently Asked Questions

Get answers to common questions about Takedown (My Work Only, No Braids).

Timing depends on extension type, amount, and hair density. Most of Renee’s takedown appointments take 45–90 minutes. If extensions are complex or adhesive-based, allow extra time. We assess on arrival and give a clear estimate before starting removal.

When performed by Renee's trained stylists, takedown minimizes damage. We use gentle tools, appropriate solvents, and sectioning techniques to avoid breakage. Follow-up care and restorative treatments further protect hair health; permanent damage is rare with proper removal.

You don’t always need freshly washed hair; please arrive clean and detangled without heavy oils or conditioners. Some extension types require dry hair for safer removal. Renee will confirm pre-appointment instructions when you book to ensure optimal removal conditions.

We may remove extensions installed by other stylists, but Renee's policy favors her own work. If extensions are unfamiliar or risky, we'll assess first and recommend a safe plan or decline to protect your natural hair and prevent damage.

Pricing varies by extension method, amount, and time required. Takedown appointments typically start at a base rate, with the final cost determined after assessment. Contact Renee for a precise quote or estimate during booking.

Aftercare includes a gentle shampoo, deep conditioning, and a light trim if needed. Avoid heavy heat or chemical treatments for two weeks. Renee can recommend products and a restoration plan to rebuild strength and maintain healthy texture post-removal.
