Our Hair Extension Services
Riggs Mitchell Salon & Suites offers a full range of professional hair extension methods for every hair type, lifestyle, and maintenance preference in Folsom, CA. Every extension service begins with a free 30-minute consultation because no method is installed without first assessing your hair density, scalp health, and daily lifestyle. From Folsom Lake swimmers to busy professionals in Empire Ranch, we match the right method to your life, not the other way around.
Tape-In Hair Extensions
From $300 · 120–180 min
Tape-in extensions are the most booked semi-permanent method at Riggs Mitchell and the one best suited to Folsom’s dry climate. Professional-grade adhesive wefts sandwich your natural hair between two pre-taped panels, creating a bond that lies completely flat and stays invisible even in a ponytail. Folsom’s low humidity actually preserves adhesive bond strength longer than coastal markets, allowing most clients to comfortably extend their repositioning interval. Every tape-in install includes a pre-application density assessment, a blending cut, and a Bhave aftercare protocol calibrated to Folsom’s UV season.
I-Tip Micro-Link Extensions
From $350 · 120–180 min
I-tip extensions are built for Folsom’s active lifestyle. Individual keratin-tipped strands are secured with a small metal micro-bead, no heat, no adhesive, no chemical bond anywhere in the process. Because the connection is entirely mechanical, there is no adhesive to degrade at Folsom Lake, no bond to weaken from pool chlorine, and no heat sensitivity on the American River Parkway trails. Each strand moves independently for natural movement that flat-weft methods cannot replicate. Clients who swim, train daily, or spend weekends outdoors consistently choose I-tip for its structural resilience and lifestyle compatibility.
Nano Ring Extensions
From $375 · 150-180 min
Nano ring extensions use the same mechanical bead principle as I-tip, but with ultra-fine copper rings and smaller-diameter strand units that are genuinely invisible in fine or thin hair. If you have tried I-tip extensions and found the bonds visible at the root zone, the nano ring is the structural upgrade. The strand diameter is approximately 60% smaller, making the connection point undetectable even in very fine hair. Zero adhesive, zero heat, zero UV sensitivity, all the active-lifestyle compatibility of I-tip, in a format engineered specifically for clients where discretion at the root matters most.
Sew-In Weft Extensions
From $95 per row · 90–150 min
Sew-in weft extensions deliver the most dramatic volume and length transformation available in a single session. Machine-sewn panels of hair are applied onto a braided track system, with no adhesive, no mechanical attachment to individual strands. The method works best on medium to thick natural hair that can support the weight and movement of full weft panels. Row count is built around your density and goal: one row for targeted crown volume, two to four rows for a full-length and thickness transformation. Weft repositioning intervals are the longest of any semi-permanent method, making this an efficient choice for clients who want maximum impact with fewer appointments.
Clip-In & Halo Extensions
From $150 · Retail + 30-min Fitting
Clip-in and halo extensions are the zero-commitment entry point into the extension category and the right answer for clients who need volume for events, bridal moments, or seasonal occasions without a semi-permanent install. Clip-in wefts attach and remove daily with no salon appointment required after the initial fitting and blending cut. Halo extensions rest on an invisible monofilament wire at the crown, attach in five minutes, and come out just as fast, no clips, no tape, no heat. The halo method is the recommended first step for clients with sensitive scalps, thin hairlines, or traction damage from previous extension methods.
Professional Extension Removal
From $75 · 45–60 min
Professional removal is the most under-valued service in the extension category, and the one most clients attempt at home with the wrong tools. DIY removal of tape-in extensions without the correct solvent and heat tool sequence tears the adhesive against the natural hair strand rather than away from it, causing matting, breakage, and adhesive residue at the root zone. At Riggs Mitchell, removal uses method-specific tools for every extension type: a heated bond-release tool and professional solvent for tape methods, and a mechanical bead-release tool for I-tip and nano ring. Every strand is removed cleanly, followed by a full post-removal scalp and hair assessment.
Why Choose
Riggs Mitchell for Hair Extensions in Folsom?
There are salons in Folsom that install extensions. Here is what makes this one different.
Free Consultation. No Booking Without It
No extension is installed at Riggs Mitchell without a prior 30-minute consultation. We assess your hair density, scalp health, chemical history, UV lifestyle, and target look before recommending a single method.

Tape-in for the low-maintenance professional. I-tip for the Folsom Lake swimmer. Nano ring for fine hair. Weft for maximum volume. We do not default to one method. We match you to the right one.
Bhave Aftercare Is Standard, Not Optional
Every client leaves with a Bhave-based aftercare protocol calibrated to their method and Folsom's current UV season, not a generic extension care sheet.
Hard Water & UV Adjustment Built In
Color matching at Riggs Mitchell accounts for UV-driven tonal drift and hard water oxidation. Your extensions and natural hair stay matched through the season, not just at install.
Honest Damage Assessment for Returning Clients
If you had extensions elsewhere and experienced damage, tangling, or breakage, we assess the damage first and build a recovery plan before recommending any new install.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which extension method is right for me?
It depends on your hair type, lifestyle, and maintenance preference. Tape-in is the most popular semi-permanent method in Folsom, flat, discreet, and best for fine to medium hair. I-tip is the best choice for active clients who swim or train daily. Nano ring is the upgrade for fine-haired clients where I-tip bonds are visible. Sew-in weft delivers the most dramatic volume in a single session. Clip-in and halo are zero-commitment options for events or seasonal use. We determine the right method during your free consultation.
Do I need a consultation before booking an extension appointment?
Yes, and that is not a barrier; it is a protection. Extension installs without prior consultation are the leading cause of method mismatch, color mismatch, and traction damage. The consultation is free, takes 30 minutes, and ensures your installation appointment delivers exactly what you came for.
How does Folsom's climate affect my extensions?
UV Index 10+ fades extension color and degrades adhesive bonds faster than lower-UV markets. Folsom’s hard water coats bonds and wefts with mineral deposits over time. Low-humidity winters create static and dryness in extension hair. We account for all three at consultation and build your method selection, color match, and aftercare protocol around Folsom’s actual conditions.
How long do hair extensions last in Folsom?
Tape-in and I-tip extensions typically last 4–6 months with proper repositioning every 6–8 weeks. The nano ring has a similar lifespan. Sew-in weft requires repositioning every 8–10 weeks. The dry Folsom climate actually preserves tape-in bond strength longer than humid markets, but UV exposure on extension color requires a UV-protective aftercare routine to maintain tonal integrity through summer.
Can you color my extensions to match my current hair?
We offer color matching and toning for extension sets as a dedicated service. For Folsom clients, we match at a UV-adjusted tonal temperature, accounting for the fact that both your natural hair and your extension hair will shift tonally through the UV season, and calibrating the match so both shift in the same direction.
What happens if I had bad extensions at another salon?
Book a free damage assessment consultation. We map the current state of your natural hair, identify what caused the problem (wrong method, wrong density, improper removal, or traction placement), and build a recovery protocol before recommending any new install. We do not put a new application on top of a problem.
Can I swim at Folsom Lake with extensions installed?
With I-tip and nano ring extensions, yes, with the correct aftercare protocol (wet braid before entering the water, chelating wash post-swim, leave-in conditioning after). With tape-in extensions, limited exposure is manageable, but repeated chlorine or mineral water immersion weakens the adhesive bond over time. With sew-in weft, swimming is generally not recommended as water in the braid track creates a difficult-to-dry environment. We confirm your swimming protocol at the consultation based on your method.
