Who does the best hair extensions on Long Island? It’s one of the questions we hear most — and one of the most searched questions in Long Island beauty. Extensions are an investment: in money, in time, and most importantly, in the health of your own hair. Choose the right studio and nobody will ever know you’re wearing them. Choose the wrong one and you’ll spend a year repairing the damage.
So let’s make the choice easier. Below is a guide to seven Long Island studios where hair extensions aren’t a side service — they’re a craft. We’ll look at what each one is known for, which methods they favor, and how to tell which is the right fit for your hair.

1. Premier Hair Extensions of Long Island
113 Hillside Ave #101, Williston Park, NY 11596
(516) 621-4104 · longislandhairextensions.com
Premier Hair Extensions is the dedicated extension studio from our own Tomy B. Salon family — and yes, we’re proud to put it first, because it was built to fix everything we saw going wrong with extensions elsewhere: hair that doesn’t match, wefts that show, and methods chosen for the stylist’s convenience instead of the client’s hair.
Hair made under its own label. This is the biggest difference. Premier doesn’t resell a third-party brand — the extension hair is 100% premium human hair produced under the salon’s own Tomy B label, then custom color-matched and cut for each guest. When the hair is your own product, you control the quality from start to finish.
An honest take on methods. Premier offers tape-in, K-tip (keratin bond), and halo & clip-in extensions — and will tell you plainly which one your hair can actually handle. Tape-in is the method they recommend most: it’s the gentlest, lays flat against the head, and comes in four taping techniques (flat, injected, single-sided, and sandwiched) so fine hair and thick hair get different engineering. K-tip is offered, but honestly framed as a traditional, higher-tension system that suits only particular hair types. That kind of candor is rare in this business.
Color matching that disappears. Because the studio grew out of a master colorist’s salon, color matching goes beyond picking a swatch — extensions are blended and customized on-site, including dimensional and balayage looks, so the line between your hair and the added hair simply doesn’t exist.
Built around hair health. Every permanent system is maintained on a 4–8 week schedule, and the studio pairs extension wear with its own Lipid Complex professional treatment, which replenishes the lipids extension hair can’t produce on its own — keeping the set soft, glossy, and tangle-free between visits.
Consultations are free, and pricing is determined at the consultation — custom to your hair, never a guess.
2. Mercedes Hair Extensions
A dedicated extension technician with a loyal following and consistently glowing reviews, Mercedes has built her reputation on meticulous, personalized installs. As a specialist rather than a full-service salon, she offers the kind of one-on-one attention that extension work rewards — clients praise the natural results and careful placement. A strong choice if you want a boutique, single-artist experience.
3. Bubbles & Angels
One of the most-reviewed extension specialists on Long Island, Bubbles & Angels has earned its reputation over years of consistent work. The studio focuses squarely on extensions and related services, with reviewers frequently mentioning the natural blend and the longevity of their sets. Expect a busy book — popular specialists tend to require patience for an appointment.
4. B&A Hair Extensions
With a large social following and a portfolio full of dramatic before-and-afters, B&A has become one of the more visible extension names in the area. Their Instagram presence doubles as a live portfolio, which makes it easy to judge their aesthetic before you book — worth a scroll if you’re the type who wants to see dozens of real examples first.
5. Hair Extension Artistry LI
As the name suggests, this is another extensions-first studio, with a focus on hand-crafted, customized installs. Clients highlight the thorough consultations and the attention paid to matching the set to their lifestyle — a good sign, since the right method depends as much on how you live (gym, swimming, styling habits) as on your hair itself.
6. Hair by Julianne
A stylist-artist with a strong extension specialty and an engaged following, Julianne represents the new wave of independent extension artists on Long Island. Her work leans editorial — big transformations, seamless blends — and her social feeds show the range. Independent artists often mean flexible scheduling and a highly personal touch.
7. Hair Scape
A full-service salon with an established extension practice, Hair Scape is a solid option if you’d rather have your color, cut, and extensions handled under one roof by a larger team. Full-service salons can be a practical choice when your extensions are part of a bigger overall look you’re maintaining.
How Do You Choose? Tape-In vs. K-Tip vs. Halo
Which hair extension method is best? The honest answer: the one your hair can carry comfortably. Here’s the short version we give our own guests:
- Tape-in extensions — the gentlest permanent method and the one we recommend most. Thin, custom-weighted wefts lay flat against the scalp, distribute weight evenly, and are re-taped every 5–8 weeks. Best for most hair types, including finer hair.
- K-tip (keratin bond) extensions — the traditional strand-by-strand method. Long-wearing, but higher tension on each strand, so it suits only particular hair types. If a salon pushes K-tips on fine or fragile hair, ask questions.
- Halo & clip-in extensions — commitment-free volume and length you put in and take out yourself. Perfect for events, occasions, and anyone not ready for a permanent system.
Whichever studio you choose, insist on three things: a real consultation before any hair is ordered, honest talk about what your hair can handle, and a maintenance plan (every permanent system needs upkeep every 4–8 weeks — anyone who says otherwise is selling, not advising).
