VanStrands Frequently Asked Questions
Quick answers to help you understand, offer, and sell VanStrands with confidence.
Yes. Mixing tones creates custom sparkle effects and dimensional looks.
Yes. Removal takes only a few minutes and can be bundled into color or haircut services.
Absolutely. VanStrands photograph beautifully, adding dimensional sparkle to weddings, photo shoots, runway shows, and special events. Be sure to work with a photographer who understands how to highlight VanStrands’ reflective qualities through thoughtful lighting and lens selection.
VanStrands are available in a wide range of shimmer finishes including crystal, metallic, holographic, pearl, and multi-tone blends. Seasonal and limited-edition colors may also be offered.
VanStrands should not be colored, bleached, permed, or chemically processed. Exposure to chemicals can weaken or melt the filament. For best results, install VanStrands after all chemical services are completed and the hair is fully dried and styled.
VanStrands are a high-margin, low-time service that adds excitement and personalization to any appointment. They appeal to clients of all ages for special events, festivals, vacations, or everyday sparkle. Installation is quick, requires minimal inventory, and encourages repeat visits as clients refresh or add new strands.
With proper installation and normal wear, VanStrands can last a week to months depending on hair growth and at home maintenance. Clients may wash, brush, and style as usual, but should avoid excessive heat above 200°F and harsh pulling. Regular brushing and gentle handling help extend longevity and keep the strands looking vibrant.
When installed properly using professional micro-bead techniques and correct tension, VanStrands do not damage natural hair. The strands are ultra-lightweight and move naturally with the hair. Improper crimping or excessive tension may cause stress, which is why professional installation and training are recommended.
No. Micro-beads which attach the VanStrands to the hair are discreet and lightweight, allowing the strands to blend invisibly within natural hair. Strategic placement ensures comfortable wear and seamless movement.
