Smartape is where salons enter the method. A gel-tape bond that gathers the hair section into the join and holds firmly, with 100% real hair, for thinning, for added density and for split ends.
What is different about it
- A gel tape that gathers the hair section into the bond — a firm hold even on fine hair.
- Suitable for lengthening every hair type, including the thinnest.
- Real, natural hair, durable enough to keep a full look over time.
- A method that is straightforward to learn — which is why it is the natural starting point for anyone who has not worked with extensions before.
Who it suits
Stylists starting out with extensions who want to begin with a forgiving method.
And salons whose requests are mostly about density and closing thin areas, rather than a dramatic change in length.
The first step
Salons starting with Smartape usually add hands-on training, so that the first application is not done on a paying client. The shade board was originally built for Smartape, and it now serves all three brands.
