Hair Extensions in Fort Myers
Hair extensions at Canterbury & Co. in Fort Myers are installed by certified extension specialists using tape-in, weft and K-tip methods, with hair from Bellami Hair and easihair pro. Alli Canterbury, Kristen Grzegorczyk and Tori Knox hold those certifications, and all three are Bellami Master Certified. Their standard is simple: good extensions are invisible. No one can tell where your hair ends and the added length begins, which takes careful color matching, thoughtful placement, and a stylist who treats extensions as a craft rather than an add-on.

What extensions can do
Extensions add length, certainly — but just as often our clients come in for fullness: thickening fine hair, filling in layers that were cut too short, or restoring density where hair has thinned. A few carefully placed wefts can also add dimension and face-framing brightness without any lightener touching your own hair. The right method depends on your hair's texture and density, which is exactly what the consultation is for — see tape-ins vs. wefts vs. K-tips vs. I-tips for a plain-English comparison before you come in.
Who they suit
Extensions suit anyone patient enough to want the result done properly — brides growing toward a wedding date, clients recovering from a haircut they regret, and fine-haired clients who have simply never had the ponytail they wanted. They ask a little of you in return: gentle brushing, a considered washing routine, and regular maintenance visits. If your lifestyle will not accommodate that, we will say so honestly before you commit.
Matched, placed, and blended by hand
Every extension service at Canterbury & Co. starts with a dedicated consultation, and that consultation is complimentary; booking it online simply asks for a $1 card hold to secure your time. We assess the health of your own hair first — extensions should never cost you the hair you already have — then match color in natural light, often blending more than one shade so the result reads as dimension, not a block of color.
How long do extensions last?
The hair itself, cared for well, lasts through many months of wear. The attachment points need attention sooner — as your own hair grows, wefts and bonds move away from the scalp and need to be lifted or repositioned. Most clients settle into a maintenance rhythm of six to eight weeks, and your stylist will set out a schedule that fits your hair before your first full installation.
How do I look after them at home?
Brush from the ends upward with a soft-bristle or loop brush, sleep with hair loosely braided, and keep conditioner away from the attachment points. In Fort Myers, the details that matter most are local ones — rinse promptly after the pool or the Gulf, since chlorine and salt are unkind to extension hair, and never leave them to dry in a wet knot after a beach afternoon. We will send you home with a routine written for your exact installation.
Tape-in, weft and K-tip extensions in Fort Myers
Each method attaches hair to your own differently, asks something different of your routine, and suits a different density and lifestyle, so the choice is made in the chair rather than from a catalog. Here is the short version of all three; the longer read is tape-ins vs. wefts vs. K-tips compared.
Tape-in extensions
Thin, flat panels of hair held with medical-grade tape against a fine section of your own, so the weight is spread rather than concentrated. Often the gentlest starting point for finer hair, and one of the two brands we install, easihair pro, supplies it. Maintenance means removing and re-taping the panels as your hair grows, and most clients settle into a six-to-eight-week rhythm.
Weft extensions
Longer curtains of hair attached along a neat row anchored against the scalp, putting more hair on fewer attachment points. The workhorse for density, and the method to ask about when you want fullness and length together. As your hair grows, the rows are lifted snug again, usually every six to eight weeks.
K-tip extensions
Individual keratin-bonded strands placed one at a time, which gives the most freedom in how you part, tie up and wear your hair, and moves most like your own. Strand-by-strand work trades longer wear for longer appointments, and your specialist will set the maintenance schedule to your hair before the first full installation.
K-tips, from bonds to finish
Twenty-two inches of length placed strand by strand: the rows of keratin bonds sit close to the scalp and disappear under your own hair once it falls. Alongside, the same method blended into dark brunette.
Bellami Hair and easihair pro
Extensions are only ever as good as the hair itself, so we are particular about where ours comes from. We work with two suppliers — Bellami Hair and easihair pro — and our certified extension specialists, Alli Canterbury, Kristen Grzegorczyk and Tori Knox, choose the method that suits your hair in consultation, not the other way around.
Bellami Hair
All three are Bellami Master Certified, Bellami's own credential for individual stylists. Bellami describes its extensions as cuticle-intact, 100% virgin Remy human hair, sustainably produced from ethically sourced hair, with every product put through quality checks. The range spans wefts, tape-ins, clip-ins, keratin bonds and I-tip methods, which gives a certified stylist real freedom in placement — and ours are trained to install the hair the way it was designed to be worn.
easihair pro
easihair pro is best known for its tape-in system and describes its hair as 100% cuticle-intact Remy human hair, ethically sourced — collected in ponytail form from women who are compensated for providing it. The line also includes clip-ins, hand-tied wefts and keratin fusion, and our stylists hold easihair pro certification too, so a tape-in installation here is done by trained hands.
Extension questions, answered straight
Is the extension consultation free?
Yes. The extension consultation at Canterbury & Co. in Fort Myers is complimentary. Booking it online asks for a $1 card hold, which simply secures your appointment. The consultation is where one of our certified extension specialists assesses your own hair and recommends a method, so you know what you are committing to before anything is installed.
How much do hair extensions cost?
Extensions at Canterbury & Co. are priced by the look you want: more density; length and fullness; or length, fullness and max volume. Each is a different result, so each is priced differently. Your certified extension specialist confirms the price for your look at the complimentary consultation, before anything is installed, along with the maintenance rhythm it will need, usually every six to eight weeks.
What are the main hair extension placement techniques?
Three methods, and Canterbury & Co. in Fort Myers installs all of them. Tape-in extensions are thin wefts of hair bonded with medical-grade tape on either side of a slim section of your own hair, so the weight lies flat and spreads wide — often the gentlest starting point for finer hair. Weft extensions are longer curtains of hair attached to a neat row anchored against the scalp; one row carries a lot of hair, which makes wefts the method for real fullness. K-tip extensions are strand-by-strand keratin bonds placed individually, which gives the most freedom around a part, hairline or cowlick and moves most like your own hair. A certified specialist chooses between them in consultation, based on your density, your part and how you wear your hair.
Does Canterbury & Co. have certified extension specialists?
Yes. Three stylists at Canterbury & Co. Salon in Fort Myers are certified extension specialists — Alli Canterbury, Kristen Grzegorczyk and Tori Knox — and all three are Bellami Master Certified. Kristen brings more than 25 years behind the chair. Our stylists also hold easihair pro certification. Extension hair comes from Bellami Hair and easihair pro, and every installation begins with a consultation and ends with a maintenance routine written for your exact installation.
What extension brands do you use?
We install hair from two suppliers, Bellami Hair and easihair pro. Extensions here are led by our certified extension specialists — Alli Canterbury, Kristen Grzegorczyk and Tori Knox — so the method we recommend is chosen to suit your hair rather than limited to one catalog. Both brands describe their hair as 100% Remy human hair with the cuticle intact — which is what lets extensions blend, shine and move like your own. Bellami Master Certified is Bellami's own credential, earned by individual stylists, and all three of them hold it.
Is the extension hair ethically sourced?
Both of our suppliers put their sourcing on the record. Bellami describes its extensions as sustainably produced from ethically sourced, 100% virgin Remy human hair, and easihair pro states that its hair is collected in ponytail form from women who are compensated for providing it. That transparency is part of why we chose them.
Do clients travel to you for extensions?
Yes — with extensions, a stylist certified in the method going into your hair matters more than the miles. Our drive is easier than most: the salon sits inside Gulf Coast Town Center, right off I-75 at Exit 128 on the Fort Myers–Estero line, so clients come to us from Estero, Bonita Springs, Naples and Cape Coral. Wherever you start from, the appointment begins the same way — a consultation and an honest maintenance plan before you commit.
What is the best extension method for fine hair?
There isn't one universal answer — it depends on how fine, how much natural density you have to attach to, and how you wear your hair day to day. Tape-in wefts distribute weight in thin, flat panels that tend to sit gently on finer hair, while a smaller, more precisely placed K-tip or hand-tied weft install can work well too, depending on your scalp and hair pattern. Our certified specialists assess your hair in consultation before recommending a method rather than defaulting to one technique for everyone.
Can I swim, sweat and go to the beach with extensions in Florida?
Yes, with a routine built around it — this is Southwest Florida, and most of our extension clients are in the pool, the Gulf, or the gym regularly. The two things that matter are rinsing chlorine and salt out promptly rather than letting hair dry in a wet knot, and keeping conditioner away from the attachment points. We send every extension client home with a maintenance routine written for their exact installation and their actual lifestyle, not a generic care card.
Extensions for Estero, Bonita Springs & beyond
With extensions, a stylist certified in the method going into your hair matters more than the miles. Our drive is easier than most: the salon sits inside Gulf Coast Town Center, right off I-75 at Exit 128 on the Fort Myers–Estero line. If you have been looking for a hair salon in Estero, we are a short drive up Three Oaks Parkway or Corkscrew Road, and Bonita Springs, Naples and Cape Coral are an easy run too. And whatever the distance, the appointment starts the same way: a consultation first, and an honest maintenance plan before you commit — because extensions your routine cannot support are extensions we will talk you out of. Directions, parking and exactly where to find suite F135 are on our location page.

Extension work is where corners show fastest, and our clients choose us because we refuse to cut them — the match is checked in daylight, the placement is planned around how you part and wear your hair, and the blend is cut and finished so it moves as one. Book a complimentary consultation online, with a $1 card hold to secure the time, and we will begin with your hair, not a catalog.
