Our hair is double drawn, cuticle aligned, and has no silicone or acid used during production process. Our brand has an ethical donation process so that women in underdeveloped countries can sell their hair and receive enough money to feed their families for a year.
  • How many custom-colored shades do you offer?
    We currently offer 28 blends and counting. Our shades are custom-designed by a team of stylists who work in the salon every day. Our shades are designed to mimic the most popular tones and color placements we see when working with clients behind the chair. This makes our brand ideal for stylists who want to have the option to apply the extensions straight out of the bag without having to custom color.
  • How much hair comes in a pack?
    Seamless Weft: We offer 18" and 22" length with 55-60 grams. ***Depending on the shade you order, the number of wefts per package vary but the grams always remain consistent.

Clip In Extensions: - 10 pieces, 160 grams. Available in 20" length.
  • Can you custom color your extensions?
    You should NEVER bleach our extensions. But, for stylists who prefer to custom color extensions before installation, our hair is easily customizable and takes color well. We recommend using an acidic color line, such as Redken Shades EQ. We have a list of Toner Matches on our stylist resources page. Click here to view our stylist resources.
  • Do you have a guarantee on your hair?
    We are one of VERY FEW extension companies in the World who offers a warranty on their hair! If your client receives a “bad batch” of hair, we will replace it up to 45 days after purchase. Even if it’s been worn or colored. A bad batch is uncommon but when dealing with human hair, it is possible to come across a batch of hair the is excessively tangled or sheds prematurely.
  • What products should be mandatory for your hair care routine?
    - Hydrating Shampoo and Conditioner (sulfate free) - Detangling Brush - Hair Oil (use from mids to ends) - Weekly usage of a hydrating hair masque - Heat Protectant Reccomended: Use a Silk or Satin Pillowcase
  • What products should I avoid with extensions?
    We do not recommend using any form of protein (animal or plant), bond builders, alkaline dyes, sulfate, alcohol, avebenzone, or sodium laurel sulfate products on Sierra & Sage Extensions. Due to the way our hair is processed these products will cause buildup which will result in knotting and matting. Avoid salt water and chlorine to prevent color stripping, sleep with dry hair only in a low ponytail or braid, and brush your hair 2-3 times a day to prevent tangling and breakage. We suggest using hydrating and moisturizing professional grade products only. A proper home care routine for Sierra & Sage Extensions includes a extension safe shampoo, conditioner, detangling spray, heat protectant, hair mask, and hair oil. If custom coloring, use acidic based color only.

  • Can I bleach Sierra & Sage Extensions?
    You should NEVER bleach extensions and should only use an acidic color line to make sure to not raise the pH. Our favorite color line is Redken Shades EQ! Check out our Stylist Resources Page for some of our favorite toners to match the natural hair to our most popular colors.
  • What products could damage my hair extensions?
    Avoid using products with sulfate (commonly found in over the counter shampoos and conditioners). We also do not suggest using bond builder products on hair extensions. If you or your client must use a bond builder, only use it on the natural hair. There are also ingredients in sunscreen that causes discoloration and damage to hair extensions. These ingredients are avabenzone and octocrylene. You should not use alcohol based products, commonly found in sunscreen, and do not spray sunscreen directly on your hair extensions. Not to worry though, we know sunscreen is a must! Use a mineral based sunscreen. If you do notice your hair extensions have faced discoloration, buildup, and possibly even damage, try using Malibu Wefts & Extensions Shampoo, Conditioner, and Packet Remedy.
  • How long do Sierra & Sage Extensions last? What's their longevity like?
    With proper hair care and routine maintenance, Sierra & Sage Extensions live anywhere between 9-12 months (sometimes even longer)! If you protect your investment by following hair care instructions, you'll get the most out of your hair.
  • Do I need to blow dry my hair? Can I sleep with wet hair?
    You do not need to blow dry your extensions, but we strongly reccomend blow drying at the top of the weft to avoid scalp irriations. However, you shouldnever sleep with wet hair. We suggest sleeping in a lose braid or a ponytail.
  • Can I swim with hair extensions?
    In the summer months, it is best not to submerge in pools and salt water. But if you must, because we get it... life happens, make sure your hair extensions are up in a ponytail or braid and that you apply a leave-in conditioner or masque liberally throughout before going underwater.
  • Can I cut hand tied extensions?
    Do not cut the wefts on hand tied extensions. This will cause the wefts to unravel and pre-maturely shed. You cannot fix this issue. If you want customizable extensions, we suggest looking into either Flat Weft Extensions or our NEW Seamless Weft Extensions.
  • Can I return tools or hair extensions?
    Yes, returns are accepted for both tools and hair extensions 30 days of purchase. The extensions must not be worn or altered and must be in the original packaging. Tools must not be used or altered and must be in the original packaging.
  • How do I request a return?

  • What if I get a "bad batch" of hair?"
    Sierra & Sage offers a Guarantee on all hair extension products. Due to the nature of human hair extensions, it is possible, though not common, to receive a "bad batch" of hair.
