How do I make an appointment?
Currently, we are only doing walk-in events; pup-up, vendor fairs, etc. BUT please check back in the next few months because we are hoping to have a few regular pop-up locations in which you will be able to make appointments. Check out our socials because all our public events will be announced there!
How long does it last?
Each strand is attached to a single strand of your own hair and lasts until that hair sheds. Everyone has different shedding patterns at different times. On average, adults typically retain their strands for 3-6 months. Some of our customers have strands that stay in for over a year! We call those “vintage strands”. When you are lucky enough for those, you get to see how much your hair has grown throughout the year!
It is VERY typical to lose a strand or two relatively early, within the first few days. For this reason, we ALWAYS give extra strands. The first few strands you lose are on us!
Can I brush (wash, etc) my hair with fairy hair in?
YES! You can do whatever you do to your regular hair while wearing fairy hair. Brush it (wide tooth comb or wet brush is best), wash it, heat style it (up to 350 degrees), color it, bleach it, keratin it. Anything is possible! If you have strands that stay in for months through multiple processes, you may notice that they start to lighten or even strip of their color and turn silver. This is normal, and a sign that it’s time to make an appointment for some new sparkle!
How is it put in?
It is magic! We weave the strands on to one single strand of your hair using a technique that has been developed with years of practice and experience. We do NOT use glue, beads, or heat. We guarantee no damage to your hair. We strongly encourage you to ask questions about the method of installment before getting fairy hair. We have seen some damage to people’s hair with incorrect applications (melting strands, losing chunks of hair).
NOT all sparkle stands are created equal. I purchase my high quality shimmer from only the best distributors, none of the plastic tinsel off amazon.
How old do you have to be?
Seneca Shimmer hair is perfect for all ages! Our youngest client was 2 years old and our oldest was 72 years old! FOR CHILDREN: Sparkle strands usually work best in adult hair. It doesn't last as long in our younger clients because their hair follicles are not as mature. We recommend starting with five strands for kids under five years old. We give this disclaimer so you don't have high expectations, but there is always an exception to the rule. Many of our clients under the age of 10 keep their strands for months!
What kind of events do you do?
We do private appointments, some festivals, private parties - birthday parties for all ages, bat mitzvahs, corporate events, you name it we’ll make it sparkly!

I have an upcoming hair appointment. Should I wait to get my sparkles?
You do not need to wait, but it’s up to you. Seneca Shimmer Sparkle Strands are attached to a single strand of hair near the roots, so it’s ok to get haircuts with it in. You can wash it, brush it, comb it, curl it, COLOR it, straighten it, blow it dry, keratin, blow out or heat style.
I'm getting an MRI. Do I need to take out my fairy hair?
It’s ok to get an MRI with fairy hair in. There is no metal in the product. If you’re having an MRI done on your head and you have a lot of strands in (think 50+) it may be a good idea to remove them just in case they cause interference.
We have heard from many, many clients who have undergone MRI with fairy hair in and it has not caused a problem.
What colors do you have? What color should I choose?
We carry every color of the rainbow, including rainbow! You can choose a color to match your hair and give you a subtle sparkly shine, or choose what we call a “party in your hair”! We love to help with picking the perfect color for you, so let us know at your appointment if you need some suggestions.
My salon offers this. Why should I go to you?
We hear this a LOT. No disrespect to any salons or stylists out there, don’t ask me to give you a haircut or balayage! In our experience, most places do not know how to install these strands. At best they fall out in a few days, at worst, they cause damage to the hair, causing it to fall out in clumps. Another thing to consider is that all fairy hair is not created equal, our strands have been time tested and are guaranteed to not melt or cause damage (we’ve seen it happen!)
