Services
If you would like to schedule your hair extensions consultation or any other hair service please go to the Appointment Page. My salon location, tucked away in Boston's waterfront district and neighboring the historic North End, is easily accessible by public transportation or by car. We're just a five minute walk from North Station, or 10 minutes from Haymarket.
Please keep a few things in mind before booking your hair extensions appointment. A consultation is required before the actual hair extensions application. I will need to see your hair, know what type of hair and how much we will need, and most importantly what color to custom order for your hair to look flawless.

Expertise, a true talent combining the right color, high lights and low lights. Placement of each Keratin bond and tape extensions for a beautiful natural look. This was worth the time and money. By far the best thing I have done for myself all year!. This team is committed to excellence and truly personable experience.Great location, very clean, modern decor. They offer validation for parking, located across from the salon. Every single staff member was super helpful. Attention to detail does not go unnoticed!

I’ve been coming here just for cuts for a few months and always leave completely satisfied and excited for the next appointment. The staff are all hospitable and knowledgeable and the stylists are supremely talented. I wouldn’t go anywhere else - This is a great spot and I hope it stays forever.

My experience at Extology was wonderful and I highly recommend this salon. I sought out extensions because I had a botched haircut the week before at a different salon that would literally take a year to grow out back to normal. I thought there was no saving my hair, but my stylist Kriscia worked some serious magic. She was attentive, professional, and highly skilled. Her work is seamless—you can't even tell you have extensions in. My long locks are back and I finally feel like myself again. A BIG thank you to the Extology team!

Allana is the most genuine and talented stylist I’ve had the pleasure of spending time with. She is passionate personable and honest. I’ve been terrified of doing anything to my hair after years of thyroid issues. She’s the only one I’ve learned to trust in the salon setting in 6 years. Thanks for helping me see myself as me again Allana and Alek!

WOW!!! Allana and Alek are amazing. If you are second guessing hair extensions, do not wait. The process was painless, and the difference is incredible. The bonds match my exact hair color and Allana provides you with all the knowledge and tools to maintain them. It is easier than I thought. To think about the hours I stared in the mirror wishing for long, thick hair. I should have come to Exotolgy years ago. When Allana was done, I felt a wave of confidence come over me, amazed by the result. Do not wait, schedule your appointment and discover the best version of yourself!!! It is worth every

Alana and everyone at Extology are amazing. After a really bad experience last summer (2020) with hand tied wefts (no they are not for everyone) and damage to my hair ..I gave up on extensions being for someone with fine thin hair. A month before my wedding my stylist suggested Alana to give me that dream princess hair. Not only did she work me into the schedule we went over options. I did my research before going and the experience she has with people who have medical conditions and fine/thin hair was beyond anyone I had found before.
She gave me the perfect wedding hair, the knowledge and the

I found Extology after a terrible extension experience. I had been to another salon where the stylist recommended natural beaded rows. This method not only looked terrible, it also damaged my hair.
I wanted extensions for my upcoming wedding to add fullness and length. Allana matched my hair color perfectly and gave me the hair of my dreams! I was so nervous due to my last bad experience at another salon, but she eased my
worries. The extensions look to real, like my hair but better! She also gives you everything you need to maintain your beautiful new hair. I highly recommend Extology and Allana

I found Extology Salon through a very intense search for hair extensions. Over the past few years - age and the chemo-preventative I’ve been on for the past 3 1/2 years had thinned out my once thick hair. I wasn’t necessarily looking for length, but volume. I looked at every possible type of extension and felt right at home when coming across Extology’s informative page on extensions. I was also very concerned that I would not be able to wear my hair up in a ponytail for my daily workouts and I was concerned for anyone to see that I had extensions. After going through every photo on Extology’s

Kelcee fixed my hair, did an amazing job, and gave me exactly what I asked for! I asked for her to lighten my hair more, give me an ashy tone, and keep my dark roots! She did such a great job! She really listened to what I wanted. I would highly recommend this salon and specifically Kelcee (I have already told all of my friends to go!)
She was also really easy and fun to talk to, which is always a great plus!
