LBL Custom Extension Commissions
Custom color. Curated hair. Created for your transformation.
LBL Custom Extension Commissions are individually designed human-hair extension sets created for clients who want more than standard, out-of-the-package hair.
Choose from carefully vetted raw hair or human hair, then let Levels By Lia develop the transformation.
Choose from two options:
- Tape-In Extensions
- Wefts (Bundles that must be installed by a professional)Â
From dimensional natural tones and seamless color matching to vivid placements, unconventional palettes, and statement color, each commission is professionally evaluated, customized, and finished according to the individual design.
This is hair prepared with a purpose.
Raw Hair or Human Hair
Custom Extension Commissions are available in two hair categories depending on the project, desired result, budget, and availability.
Raw Hair
LBL Raw Hair Extensions are created using carefully selected raw human hair, with single-donor hair prioritized according to sourcing and project requirements.
Raw hair retains more of its natural characteristics and may display subtle differences in texture, wave pattern, strand diameter, or natural color.
For clients seeking LBL’s premium extension offering, raw hair provides an exceptional foundation for customized, luxury results.
Human Hair/Virgin Hair
Select professionally manufactured human-hair extensions are also available.
These options are carefully vetted by Levels By Lia for quality, appearance, construction, and suitability for the intended customization.
Human hair can be an excellent choice when a project does not require the characteristics or investment associated with raw single-donor hair.
When the best option isn’t obvious, LBL will recommend the hair that makes sense for the design.
The Consultation
Every Custom Extension Commission begins with a consultation.
We will discuss your:
- Desired length
- Texture
- Density and fullness
- Starting hair color
- Desired extension color
- Natural or vivid color direction
- Intended installation method
- Lifestyle and styling preferences
- Maintenance expectations
- Desired overall result
- Budget and timeline
Clients do not need to determine exactly how much hair, which length combination, or which hair category they need before inquiring.
That’s part of the professional planning process.
Custom Color
Color is where Custom Extension Commissions can become distinctly LBL.
Depending on the project, customization may include:
- Custom color matching
- Dimensional brunette and black tones
- Highlights and lowlights
- Rooting and shadow roots
- Balayage and gradient effects
- Vivid color
- Color blocking
- Peekaboo placement
- Split or contrasting color
- Pastels
- Multi-tonal fantasy palettes
- Other custom placements
Every project is evaluated individually.
The achievable result depends on the starting hair, previous processing, extension construction, and how the hair responds during testing and customization.
When significant lightening is required, strand testing may be performed before the full color process begins.
Hair integrity takes priority over forcing a requested shade.
Hair Selection & Testing
LBL does not assume that every extension product is suitable simply because it is labeled “human hair” or “raw.”
Hair is selected and evaluated according to the requirements of the individual commission.
Depending on the project, evaluation may include examination of texture, shedding, construction, coatings, color response, elasticity, lightening performance, and overall integrity.
Raw hair may naturally vary between donors and batches. Manufactured human hair may also vary in processing and performance.
These characteristics are considered when selecting hair for your finished design.
Extension Formats
Available extension methods and formats may vary according to the current LBL collection, sourcing, and project requirements.
Your consultation will determine which available format is most appropriate for your desired result and intended installation.
Each commission will clearly identify the extension type, quantity, length, hair category, color work, and other relevant specifications before the project is approved.
What You Receive
Custom Extension Commissions are prepared according to the approved project specifications.
Depending on your commission, your finished set may include custom coloring, toning, and finishing work appropriate to the design.
Installation requirements should be discussed before ordering so the correct amount, format, length, and design can be prepared.
Pricing
Custom Extension Commissions are individually quoted.
Pricing depends on factors including:
- Raw hair or human hair selection
- Extension type
- Length
- Quantity of hair required
- Texture
- Custom color
- Lightening or color removal
- Complexity of color placement
- Testing and preparation
- Specialty materials
- Professional labor
- Finishing requirements
Your consultation will be used to determine the appropriate specifications and provide a project quote before work begins.
Significant changes requested after hair has been ordered or customization has begun may result in additional charges.
Turnaround
Custom Extension Commissions typically require approximately 3–6 weeks after specifications, payment, sourcing, and design approval have been finalized.
Complex vivid color, extensive lightening, specialty sourcing, larger quantities, or highly detailed color placement may require additional time.
Turnaround estimates do not include shipping transit and are not guaranteed delivery dates.
If your extensions are needed for an installation appointment, event, photoshoot, performance, or other specific date, that deadline must be disclosed before the commission is accepted.
Rush availability is not guaranteed.
Care & Maintenance
Custom-colored extensions require appropriate maintenance to preserve their appearance and performance.
Clients will receive care recommendations appropriate to their selected hair and finished color.
Longevity depends on several factors, including:
- Installation method
- Wear frequency
- At-home maintenance
- Cleansing and conditioning
- Heat styling
- Detangling practices
- Product selection
- Chemical processing
- Natural fading of custom color
Vivid, pastel, and highly customized shades may require more maintenance and will naturally evolve with cleansing and wear.
Designed Beyond the Package
Extensions should not have to dictate the transformation.
The transformation should dictate the extensions.
Whether the goal is seamless dimension, an unexpected flash of color, a full vivid palette, or luxurious length designed around a specific vision, every LBL Custom Extension Commission begins with the same question:
What does the finished hair need to become?
