The Ultimate Guide to the Luxe Collection and the Elite Vegan Collection Hair Extensions
Welcome to Salon Xtensions
At Salon Xtensions, we pride ourselves on offering premium human hair extensions that cater to the diverse needs of our clientele. Our commitment to quality, sustainability, and health is reflected in our two flagship lines: the Luxe Collection and the Elite Vegan Collection. This booklet will guide you through the key differences between these single donor lines, helping you choose the perfect fit for your client’s needs.
Luxe Collection: Pure, Natural Luxury
Health Benefits: 100% Organic Human Hair: Our Luxe Collection is made from 100% organic, untreated, single donor human hair. This ensures the hair maintains its natural proteins, leading to healthier, stronger strands that blend seamlessly with your natural hair.
Chemical Free: No harsh chemicals or treatments are used, making these extensions ideal for clients with sensitive scalps or those seeking a more natural look and feel.
Cuticle Intact: Most of the hair cuticles are left intact and naturally aligned, reducing tangling and ensuring a smooth, long lasting finish.
Ethical Sourcing; Direct Sourcing from Single Donors: All of our hair in the Luxe Collection is strictly sourced from single, healthy donors across Europe, the Middle East, Russia, India, and China. We do not engage with hair auctions or brokers, which are often fraught with corruption and human trafficking. We have our own list of donors.
Strict Donor Standards: All of our donors are at least 18 years old and are compensated according to U.S. labor standards. We prescreen all of our donors, collecting a detailed biological outline of their hair characteristics, environmental conditions, and diet. This meticulous process ensures that all of our hair is naturally healthy and strong, free from any damaging practices and therefore the donors receive payment better than any company.
Organic Ingredients in Luxe Collection:
Plant Based Conditioners: Our Luxe Collection utilizes plant derived conditioners to enhance the softness and manageability of the hair. These conditioners are free from parabens and sulfates, ensuring a gentle yet effective moisturizing effect.
Natural Oils: Enriched with all natural oils such as argan, coconut, and jojoba, these extensions benefit from natural nourishment that protects and preserves the hair's vitality without the use of animal derived ingredients.
Organic Dyes: For clients desiring color, our Luxe Collection uses organic, plant based dyes. These dyes are free from harmful chemicals and animal testing, offering vibrant hues that are as kind to the environment as they are to your hair. Long lasting colors with fading.
Material Sustainability:
Ethically Sourced: The only way to source ethical human hair is to source it directly yourself. For this reason, Salon Xtensions sources all of our raw hair directly with each donor. We completely avoid middlemen, hair auctions and brokers.
Biodegradable: As the extensions are made from natural human hair and plant based ingredients, they are biodegradable, making them an eco friendly option.
Long Term Cost Factors: Durability: With proper care (found on our website under “Hair Care”), Luxe Collection extensions can last up to two years, offering excellent value over time.
Maintenance: These extensions require minimal, yet mindful organic maintenance, as they behave just like your natural hair, reducing the need for frequent replacements and leaving your own mane thicker and fuller in the long run.
Elite Vegan Collection: Compassionate Beauty
Health Benefits: 100% Plant Based Ingredients: The Elite Vegan Collection is crafted using only the very best human hair sourced from countries that are notoriously healthy. We fortify the hair with bamboo by-products, tourmaline, and amino based proteins. These components provide strength, shine, and texture that rival traditional hair extensions, without any synthetic or chemically treated materials.
Higher Protein Content: The Elite Vegan Collection features more protein in the hair's cortex than the Luxe Collection, which contributes to its strength and durability. This, combined with the increased number of healthy cuticles, ensures a long lasting, vibrant appearance.
Natural Silicon: Instead of infusing synthetic silicone, we infuse natural silicon derived from bamboo and bananas. This natural silicon adds smoothness and shine, while maintaining the integrity and eco friendliness of the human hair extensions. This all natural infusion within the color deposits, helps protect the hair from the daily elements that hair encounters, wind, UV rays, salt, chlorine and water minerals (hard water).
Tourmaline Benefits: Enhanced Shine: Tourmaline naturally emits negative ions that help to smooth the hair's surface, reducing frizz and leaving the hair with a glossy, polished finish.
Seals Moisture: The negative ions generated by tourmaline also help to seal in moisture, preventing dryness and maintaining the hair's softness and elasticity.
Static Reduction: Tourmaline helps to neutralize static electricity, reducing fly aways and making the hair easier to style.
Heat Protection: Tourmaline can help protect the hair from heat damage by evenly distributing heat during styling, making it less likely to cause hot spots that can damage the hair. An additional heat protectant is highly recommended before the use of any hot tools, such as curling irons, flat irons and hair dryers. Always remember to not exceed 375 degrees on any hot tool. Heat applied directly to human hair is damaging.
Color Longevity: By sealing the hair cuticles and locking in moisture, tourmaline helps to preserve hair color, ensuring that the vibrant shades of the Elite Vegan Collection last longer.
Vegan Ingredients in Elite Vegan Collection:
Plant Based Conditioning Agents: Just like our Luxe Collection, the Elite Vegan Collection uses plant based conditioners that keep the extensions soft and manageable. These agents ensure the extensions remain in top condition, without any need for any chemicals.
Natural Pigments: The colors in the Elite Vegan Collection are achieved using natural pigments derived from plants and minerals. These pigments are not only safe and gentle but also vibrant, ensuring long lasting color without the need for synthetic dyes.
Material Sustainability: Eco Friendly Production: The Elite Vegan Collection is created with a focus on reducing environmental impact, utilizing renewable resources such as bamboo and plant based proteins.
Biodegradable & Sustainable: Every component of the Elite Vegan Collection is designed to be biodegradable, ensuring that these extensions have minimal environmental impact.
Long Term Cost Factors: Affordable Luxury: The Elite Vegan Collection offers longer lifespans, thus providing a better investment value over time.
Extended Wear: Designed to last for months with proper care, these extensions provide a cost effective solution for clients looking for sustainable, high quality hair enhancements.
Comparison: Luxe Collection vs. Elite Vegan Collection
Texture & Appearance: Luxe Collection shows a more natural, seamless blend, while Elite Vegan Collection offers a sleek, polished look with a natural shine enhanced by tourmaline, bamboo, and natural silicon. The Elite Vegan Collection also boasts more healthy cuticles and higher protein content in the hair's cortex than the Luxe Collection.
Longevity: Luxe Collection excels in durability, making it ideal for long term use, while Elite Vegan Collection is perfect for clients seeking a sustainable, plant based alternative with enhanced strength and vitality with a fall that is featured with many celebrity clients.
