Does 5 Star Weaves require an appointment, or can I walk in?

Appointments are required so every client gets dedicated chair time rather than a shared queue. Book by calling or texting (404) 552-2366. Walk-ins are not the standard operating model, so scheduling ahead prevents long waits or turned-away visits.

Where is 5 Star Weaves located, and which areas do you serve?

The salon is at 798 Lawrenceville Suwanee Rd. #200, Lawrenceville, GA 30043, and serves clients from Lawrenceville, Duluth, and surrounding communities. Booking in advance is recommended, especially for longer service appointments.

Is a deposit required to book an appointment, and is it refundable?

A deposit is required to hold your appointment and is non-refundable. This policy protects reserved chair time for every client. Factor this in when comparing salons - it also signals the business takes scheduling seriously on both sides.

What full-service hair options does 5 Star Weaves offer?

Services include custom wig installations, sew-ins, weave installs, K-Tip extensions, ongoing maintenance, and professional removals. Having all of these under one roof matters because the technician who installs your extensions is also the one maintaining and removing them safely.

How long do K-Tip extensions typically last before they need adjustment?

With proper home care, K-Tip extensions last 3 to 5 months before adjustment or removal is needed. Avoiding heavy oils and conditioners directly on the keratin bonds is the single most common mistake that shortens that window.

Why does Virgin hair cost more, and is it worth it for extensions and wigs?

Virgin hair has never been chemically processed, dyed, or relaxed, which means it blends naturally, takes color without resistance, and can be reused across multiple installations. Processed alternatives break down faster and can't be reliably colored - the reuse factor usually closes the price gap over time.

How often should weave maintenance be scheduled to protect natural hair?

Maintenance every 2 to 4 weeks covers tightening, scalp cleansing, and refreshed styling. Skipping maintenance too long is the leading cause of tension buildup and breakage along the hairline - the braid foundation tightens as natural hair grows.

How long can a sew-in safely stay installed before it should come out?

A standard sew-in lasts 6 to 8 weeks depending on growth rate and upkeep. Keeping one installed beyond 8 weeks increases the risk of matting, scalp buildup, and tension damage - risks that compound the longer removal is delayed.

Can K-Tip extensions be heat-styled and washed like natural hair?

Yes - because K-Tips are made with real Virgin hair, they can be washed, blow-dried, straightened, and curled normally. The one adjustment is keeping heavy conditioners and oils away from the keratin bonds, which softens the bond and shortens the hold.

What should I expect when getting weave or extension extensions removed professionally?

Professional removal involves cutting the thread, taking down the cornrow foundation, careful detangling, and a wash and blowout. Doing this at home risks cutting natural hair along with the thread - the detangle and wash stage is where most self-removal damage happens.

What hair lengths and textures are available for weaves and extensions at the salon?

Virgin hair is available in straight, wavy, and curly textures from 10 to 34 inches. Having a range up to 34 inches matters for clients targeting significant length, since many salons cap inventory well below that threshold.

What questions should you ask before booking a weave or extension appointment anywhere?

Ask whether removal is included or priced separately, how maintenance is scheduled, and what hair quality is used. Salons working with Virgin hair, structured maintenance intervals, and professional removal protocols are easier to evaluate than those with vague or verbal-only answers on these points.
