Frequently Asked Questions

Get answers to common questions about Takedown.

Standard takedown sessions take 45 minutes to two hours depending on hair length, type of installation, and condition. Heavier or glued weaves may require more time. Your stylist will assess beforehand and give a precise estimate to plan your appointment.

When performed correctly by experienced stylists, takedown minimizes damage. We use gentle techniques, proper tools, and protective products. If your hair is already fragile, weโ€™ll recommend restorative treatments or a slower, more careful process to reduce breakage risk.

We prefer hair be clean to make removal easier and reduce buildup, but washing immediately before can sometimes tangle extensions. If unsure, arrive with dry or lightly conditioned hair and our team will advise the best approach for your specific installation.

You can typically install a new weave immediately if your scalp and natural hair are healthy. If we detect irritation or damage, we may recommend a recovery period or deep conditioning for a week or two to ensure the best long-term results.

We use salon-grade, gentle detanglers, residue-removing cleansers, and nourishing oils and conditioners. Our selection prioritizes scalp health and minimizes stripping. If you have sensitivities, tell us and weโ€™ll choose hypoallergenic or fragrance-free alternatives.

Prices vary based on complexity, time needed, and any add-on treatments like deep conditioning. Basic takedowns start at an affordable rate; we provide a transparent quote after assessing your hair during consultation or upon arrival.
