Tinsel Hair FAQ’s

1. What is tinsel hair?

Tinsel hair involves attaching strands of shimmer thread using a salon bead or tying into the hair for a sparkly, reflective effect. It moves like real hair and blends in naturally.

2. How long does it last?

Tinsel can last 3–7 days, sometimes longer depending on how well it’s cared for. It falls out gradually with natural hair shedding or can be removed anytime.

3. Is it safe for kids?

Yes! Tinsel is safe for all ages. We use a salon bead or tie it gently to a few strands of hair—no glue, chemicals, or heat involved.

4. Does tinsel work for all hair types?

It works best on straight or slightly wavy hair. Very curly or coarse textures may not hold it as long, but we’ll do our best to secure it properly.

5. Can you brush and style your hair with tinsel in?

Yes! Just be gentle when brushing. Tinsel behaves like hair and can be styled with low heat (though we recommend avoiding flat irons directly on it).

6. What colors do you offer?

We bring a wide range of sparkly colors—gold, silver, pink, blue, rainbow, and more. Guests can choose one color or mix several.

7. How many people can you serve per hour?

One artist can typically serve up to 10 guests per hour, depending on how many strands are applied per person.

8. Is there any prep required?

Hair should be clean, dry, and brushed out. We can do light detangling, but smooth hair helps us work faster and get better results.
