Is Destination Hair Extensions open to the public?

Our collections are available to approved, licensed hair professionals to ensure every install meets a professional standard. If you are not a stylist, ask your extension specialist about Destination Hair Extensions for your next appointment.

Is there a minimum order?

No. You can order as little as one weft. Low minimums let you try new colors, test the hair with a client, and order exactly what you need.

Do you offer bulk or pro pricing orders?

Yes, in our own way. Approved pros order any quantity, from a single weft up, at member pricing tied to their account tier. Larger studios can use the bulk order form in their account, and Club Lounge membership plus Destination Hairlines rewards add savings as your volume grows. No bulk commitments are ever required.

How do custom orders work?

Approved pros can build a custom order at destinationhairextensions.com/pages/custom-order: choose your method, color, length, and texture (straight, wavy, or curly), and your pricing is applied automatically based on your account tier. Full payment is collected when you review and confirm.

Can I cancel or change my order after placing it?

Most orders ship the same business day, so contact us immediately at hello@destinationhairextensions.com or 857-340-4351 if something needs to change. Once an order has shipped we cannot modify it. Pre-orders that have not been fulfilled can be canceled per our cancellation policy.

Do you have retail store locations?

We are an online professional brand based in Charlotte, North Carolina, and we do not operate retail storefronts. Approved pros order through destinationhairextensions.com, and local same day delivery is available in the Charlotte area.

What payment methods do you accept?

All major credit and debit cards at checkout, plus Shop Pay, Apple Pay, and Google Pay for express checkout.

Do you sell gift cards?

Not as a standalone product right now. Gift cards are issued from time to time through promotions, like pre-order and seasonal offers, and any gift card you receive from us can be applied at checkout.

Can I order a color sample or swatch?

We do not sell individual color samples. Approved pros can match shades precisely with the AI Color Match tool, and our team is glad to confirm a shade before you order. Physical branded color rings are available to Brand Launch Partners as part of the partner program.

Returns, Refunds & the DHE Guarantee
What is your return policy?

All sales are final. Hair extensions are intimate, hygienic products, so we cannot accept returns or exchanges once an order is placed. This is standard across the professional extension industry and protects every customer. Please double-check color, length, and quantity before ordering, and reach out first if you are unsure: we are glad to help you choose.

What if my order arrives damaged, defective, or incorrect?

We inspect every order before it ships. If something arrives damaged, defective, or not what you ordered, email hello@destinationhairextensions.com within 7 days of delivery with your order number and clear photos. Confirmed issues are replaced with the same item at no cost to you.

I am in the EU. Can I return my order?

EU customers have a statutory right of withdrawal that applies to unopened product in its original sealed packaging, returned within 14 days of delivery. Once the seal is opened, the product is final sale. Email hello@destinationhairextensions.com before opening your product to exercise this right.

What is the DHE Guarantee?

If our hair fails due to a quality issue, we replace it. No blame, no back-and-forth. Approved pros are covered up to $1,000 per year on the Retail tier, $2,000 for Club Lounge members, and $3,000 for Brand Partners, with limits resetting annually from your first purchase date. The guarantee covers manufacturing defects and quality failures; misuse, chemical damage, and improper application are not covered.

How do I file a guarantee claim?

Sign in to your pro account and start a claim at destinationhairextensions.com/pages/guarantee-claim. Have your order number, photos of the client’s hair (under the hood and flip up), and copies of your consultation and service agreement ready. You will get a case number instantly, and claims are reviewed within 2 to 5 business days (48 hours for Brand Partners). Approved claims ship replacement hair directly to you.

The color looks different than it did on screen.

Screen settings and lighting can shift how a shade appears online. Approved pros can use our AI Color Match tool for a precise match before ordering, or contact us and we will help you choose. A color rendering slightly differently on screen is not considered a defect when the hair matches our published specifications.

Products & Quality
What type of hair do you sell?

100% ethically sourced human hair. Our Euro Collection is live now, with additional origin collections launching soon. Methods include the Genius Weft and keratin bond (K-Tip) extensions, with limited-release pieces like toppers dropping throughout the year.

What is the Genius Weft?

Our signature machine-sewn weft, engineered for professionals: 13 inches wide (most brands run 10) and a full 20 grams at every length. The wider, lighter-per-inch build means fewer wefts per install, less bulk at fold points, and a flatter, cleaner finish.

What lengths do you offer?

Core lengths run 18, 22, 24, 28, and 32 inches, with availability varying by product and color.

What colors are available?

More than 40 shades, each named after a destination: Amalfi, Monaco, Tuscany, and beyond. Every color is a destination. Approved pros can use the AI Color Match tool to translate any other brand’s shade into its Destination Hair Extensions equivalent.

What is the difference between Business Class and First Class hair?

They are our quality grades. Business Class is ethically sourced, unprocessed hair with consistent cuticle alignment, strong integrity, and excellent longevity. First Class is single-donor hair collected from one source, with intact cuticles running in one direction throughout: the softest texture and most natural movement we offer, available on select styles.

What is the difference between PRO and ELITE density?

Both are the same quality hair at 1 gram per strand in our keratin bond collection. PRO is a naturally tapered density, comparable to standard K-tips on the market, ideal for medium-to-thick natural hair. ELITE carries a higher percentage of longer hairs for full volume through the mids and ends, ideal for fine or thinning hair and volume-focused installs.

Can the hair be colored or heat styled?

Yes. Because our extensions are 100% human hair, they can be washed, heat styled, and colored like natural hair. We recommend professional color services only, always using heat protectant, and keeping hot tools at 350°F or below.

How long do the extensions last?

With proper care, weft extensions last 6 to 12 months with reinstallation every 6 to 8 weeks. Keratin bonds typically last 3 to 4 months before a move-up. Longevity depends on installation, maintenance, and your client’s routine.

Do you sell hair toppers?

Toppers are released in limited quantities throughout the year and tend to move fast. Join the waitlist at destinationhairextensions.com/pages/hair-topper-waitlist to be notified when new pieces become available.

What textures are available?

Straight is our standard. Wavy and curly textures are available through custom orders and periodic pre-orders for approved pros.

What is the AI Color Match tool?

An exclusive tool for approved pros that matches any brand’s shade to its closest Destination Hair Extensions equivalent, so switching brands never means guessing on color.

Is your hair ethically sourced?

Yes. We source 100% human hair through direct, vetted supplier relationships, ethically collected and fully traceable from origin to your salon chair.

Hair Care
How should extensions be washed?

Wash 2 to 3 times per week at most with sulfate-free, alcohol-free shampoo and lukewarm water. Brush before wetting, work shampoo through the scalp area rather than scrubbing the lengths, and rinse thoroughly. Condition from mid-length to ends only, never on bonds, tape, or weft attachment points.

What products should be avoided on extensions?

Sulfate shampoos, products containing alcohol, and oils or heavy silicone products near attachment points, which cause slippage. Purple toning shampoos should be used sparingly and diluted.

How should clients care for extensions overnight?

Never sleep on wet extensions. Brush thoroughly, braid loosely or tie a low ponytail with a silk scrunchie, and use a silk or satin pillowcase to minimize friction and tangling.

Can clients swim with extensions?

Yes, with precautions: wet the hair and apply leave-in conditioner before entering the pool or ocean, wear it braided, rinse with fresh water immediately after, and wash as soon as possible.

How often is maintenance needed?

We recommend weft move-ups every 6 to 8 weeks and keratin bond move-ups every 3 to 4 months. Staying on schedule is the difference between extensions that last 3 months and extensions that last a year.
