Getting Started with Covet & Mane®

The journey towards releasing our first-ever tape-in collection was driven by our unwavering commitment to quality, innovation, and excellence. We recognized early on that the existing tape-in products in the market fell short of our standards and failed to meet the expectations of both salon professionals and clients alike. To ensure that our tape-in collection lived up to our reputation for excellence, we knew that we had to invest in extensive research and development.

Our team spared no effort in meticulously studying and analyzing every aspect of tape-in extensions – from materials and construction to installation methods and durability. We sought to understand the pain points and challenges faced by salon professionals during the installation process and set out to address them head-on. The goal was clear: to create a tape-in collection that not only met but exceeded the highest standards of quality and performance.

Months of intensive research, testing, and iteration followed as we worked tirelessly to perfect every aspect of our tape-in collection. We leveraged cutting-edge technology, innovative materials, and expert craftsmanship to craft a product that surpassed all expectations. Our tape-in extensions had to be more than just hair enhancements – they had to be a testament to our dedication to excellence and innovation.

The final product is a testament to our relentless pursuit of perfection. Our tape-in collection boasts unparalleled durability, longevity, and quality, ensuring that every installation is a seamless and stress-free experience. With easy installation methods and a design engineered to minimize the risk of failed installations, our tape-in extensions empower salon professionals to deliver flawless results with confidence.

At Covet & Mane, we believe that innovation is not just about creating something new – it's about redefining industry standards and pushing the boundaries of what's possible. Our journey to develop our tape-in collection was a testament to this belief, and we're proud to offer salon professionals and clients alike a tape-in solution that sets a new standard of excellence in the world of hair extensions.

Technology

The Coveted Tape is made using advanced technology and cutting-edge manufacturing processes that ensure precision, durability, and comfort. Here's an overview of how our tape-in hair wefts are made:

1. Hair Selection: The process begins with the careful selection of high-quality human hair. For The Coveted Tape, only the finest Remy human hair is used, ensuring a natural look and feel.
2. Cleaning and Processing: The selected hair undergoes a thorough cleaning and processing procedure to remove any impurities and prepare it for the manufacturing process. This step ensures that the hair is clean, healthy, and free from any contaminants.
3. Weft Construction: The cleaned and processed hair is then meticulously arranged and attached to a thin, flexible base material. This base material serves as the foundation for the tape-in weft and provides the structure and support needed for secure attachment to the client's hair.
4. Tape Application: Once the hair is securely attached to the base material, adhesive tapes are applied to the top of the weft. These adhesive tapes are specially designed to be lightweight, discreet, and durable, ensuring a secure hold without causing damage to the client's natural hair.
5. Cutting and Finishing: After the adhesive tapes are applied, the wefts are carefully cut to the desired length and shape. Any excess material is trimmed away, and the edges are carefully finished to ensure a seamless, natural-looking blend with the client's own hair.
6. Quality Control: Throughout the manufacturing process, rigorous quality control checks are conducted to ensure that each tape-in weft meets the highest standards of quality and consistency. Any imperfections or defects are identified and addressed before the final product is released.
7. Packaging and Distribution: Once the tape-in wefts are completed and approved, they are carefully packaged and prepared for distribution. Each weft is labeled and packaged with care to ensure that it arrives in perfect condition to the salon professional.

We carefully source only the finest Remy human hair, and each batch undergoes thorough inspection to ensure it meets our strict quality standards. Any hair that does not meet our criteria for texture, color, or quality is rejected.
2. Manufacturing Oversight: Throughout the manufacturing process, our team of skilled artisans and technicians oversees every step to ensure quality and consistency. Each tape-in weft is meticulously crafted and inspected to ensure that it meets our specifications for thickness, density, and construction.
