Soft Bond Strands Extensions
Soft Bond Strands are a proprietary hair extension method developed by Tiffany Twist. This glue-free, fusion-free technique uses a natural bonding agent to attach high-quality human hair strands without damaging natural hair. The extensions blend seamlessly, offering long-term wear for up to a year with proper care.
Volume Boost
A 40-strand volume boost adds subtle fullness to thin or sparse hair. Applied at the same length as natural hair, this service creates a denser appearance without bulkiness. Ideal for clients seeking a low-maintenance enhancement to their natural hair density.
Partial Install
A partial install adds 50-75 strands to extend hair length by 2-4 inches. Designed for clients with thin or damaged hair, this service blends extensions with natural hair for a gradual transition. The process takes approximately 3 hours with results lasting 4-6 months.
Full Install
A full install uses 90-120 strands to add 2-10 inches of length and volume. Tailored to clients with shoulder-length or longer hair, this service creates dramatic results while maintaining comfort. The 4-5 hour appointment ensures precise blending and secure attachment.
Maintenance
Regular maintenance sessions detangle hair, replace loose strands, and refresh bonds. Recommended every 8-10 weeks, this service extends wear time up to a year. Technicians ensure extensions remain secure and natural-looking between appointments.

Questions
What are Soft Bond Strands hair extensions?
Soft Bond Strands are a proprietary glue-free, fusion-free hair extension method developed by Tiffany Twist. They use a natural bonding agent that attaches to hair without damaging the shaft, allowing for comfortable, long-term wear.
How do Soft Bond Strands differ from traditional extensions?
Unlike glue or fusion methods, Soft Bond Strands use a wax-based bond that forms around hair without direct attachment. This prevents pulling, breakage, and chemical damage during application or removal.
Can Soft Bond Strands damage my hair?
No. The method avoids direct contact with the hair shaft and uses no chemicals for removal. Clients report healthier hair after removal compared to other extension types.
How long do Soft Bond Strands last?
With proper care, extensions last 4-6 months. Bonds can remain in hair for up to a year, and hair can be reused for subsequent installs.
How are Soft Bond Strands removed?
Bonds are manually cracked and crumbled by hand without chemicals. This preserves both natural hair and extension strands for potential reuse.
Do you offer services outside Minneapolis?
Yes. Appointments are available in Los Angeles and other locations by contacting Tiffany directly at 612-787-7797.

I'm blown away by how natural my hair looks! This system that Tiffany, the owner, thought of is truly GENIUS. I almost want to keep it my little secret lol, but I have to let other women know- that if you've lost your hair due to damage or aging or if your hair just won't grow- whatever the reason- the way the hair extensions are installed is genius and like NO OTHER hair extensions installation method ANYWHERE! Also, Stephanie was so fun to talk to, the hours just flew by. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND west coast hair ! Stephanie picked out the perfect hair to match my own and it truly looks and feels like

I was extremely disappointed with my experience with West Coast Hair. The extensions fall out extremely easily (even when following the long list of care instructions). Within less than 2 weeks of my install I had 5+ fall out and a total of 20 in the following weeks. I ended up having to get completely new extensions installed at a different salon due to the poor quality. Additionally, the staff is unresponsive and I havent heard back in nearly 3 weeks to help rectify this after investing over $1,000. Very disappointing and would not recommend West Coast hair if you are looking for quality extensions

I HIGHLY recommend these extensions! I just got mine removed today, I wore my hair for 11 months, I scheduled 2 maintenance appointments, just to be sure I was caring for my hair properly, and to have a few strands adjusted, other than that, if you take good care of the extensions you will get great results. I used the shampoo and conditioner that Tiffany created and it helped maintain the bond strength and I only had 4 strands fall out over the 11 month course! The extensions didn't damage my real hair at all. I am so happy with the money I invested in myself to have this BEAUTIFUL hair and I

Love, LOVE my hair extensions! I had my (first time) hair extensions put in to add volume to my hair, and it looks fabulous! You can't even tell that I had any put in. Tiffany did a fantastic job customizing the extensions to blend with my hair. What I love about this hair is the extensions that she uses are of the best quality, that with the combined proprietary method she uses to adhere to the extensions makes it impossible to see where the extensions are in my hair. As for Tiffany, she was terrific and very professional. She is truly an expert in her field. I would highly recommend checking

I absolutely LOVE my extensions. Stephanie did the initial install and she is such a sweetie, I trusted her immediately, and could tell that she has a lot of experience. She showed me videos of how to take care of my new extensions which were super helpful. Their process is so much better on your hair, no chemicals, tape or glue are used. They use a wax based bond that was created in house which does NO damage to your current hair. I went in about 3 months after the initial install and had them do a little touch up on a few extensions that had grown out and then back again in an additional 3 months

WOW! These hair extensions are awesome! Before I went to West Coast Hair I had extreme hair breakage from bleach, now I have 22 inch hair and it looks amazing. The hair quality is great and Stephanie did an incredible job blending them with my natural hair. The bonds are very comfortable and not noticeable at all. I have had these hair extensions for a little more than a month and I have not had any of them fall out. I highly recommend coming here if you are looking to get hair extensions!!
