Where can you buy wigs and hair extensions in Karen?
Silken Human Hair is a wig and extensions boutique in shop D2.07 on the upper ground floor of The Hub Karen, opposite KFC, according to its Cottlink profile. It sells premium human hair extensions, wigs and hair accessories, and its team helps customers find a match for their natural hair, look and budget.
Human hair is a considered purchase, so it helps to see and feel it before you buy. Bring a photo of the style you want, and ask about texture, length, density and how the piece should be washed and stored. If you are planning to have extensions fitted by a stylist, ask whether the boutique can recommend a length and weight that suits the method your stylist uses.
