Welcome to Extension Exchange, the trailblazing platform where high-end fashion meets beauty in a unique way. Our visionary concept, pioneered by esteemed Tampa hair extension expert, Sandy Cothron, merges the realm of luxury designer bags with luxury hair extensions.

At Extension Exchange, we noticed a gap in the market. We understood the frustration of parting with your cherished designer bags for less than it’s worth. That's when we decided to revolutionize the luxury resale industry in Tampa.

The Trade-In Experience at Extension Exchange

At Extension Exchange, we offer a unique trade-in experience. You bring us your gently-used designer bag, and we evaluate its worth. Instead of cash, we provide you with an equivalent value in our premium hair extension services. This exciting concept allows us to combine two loves - luxury hair and designer bags - offering unprecedented value to our clients.

But our service extends beyond just hair extensions. We believe in providing a holistic experience. That's why each client receives a personal consultation with a hair extension specialist. We take the time to understand your style, your hair needs, and your lifestyle to ensure you leave with the perfect set of extensions.

More than Just Hair Extensions

Whether you're longing for a full head of voluminous, thick hair or just one row to add some va-va-volume, we've got you covered. We offer the best extensions in Tampa, FL, catering to all your style goals.

So if there's a designer bag sitting unused in your wardrobe, schedule an appointment with us. Let's transform that valuable bag into a stunning new look! Experience the joy of getting what your bag is genuinely worth and stepping out with a fresh, glamorous hairstyle.

Meet Sandy

What's up, Tampa Bay? Sandy Cothron here.  

I'm a lifelong resident of the area and I’ve owned and operated my gorgeous salon in South Tampa, The Shop Salon since 2015.

Since then, I've been helping other stylists grow and reach their goals and now I’m expanding my expertise to include another of my passions into my business - Designer handbags! 

My specialty is Hair Extensions— if you've ever seen me do them, you know I'm fast! Recently, I came up with an amazing idea for those of us that love Hair Extensions- AND buying and reselling designer bags.

For me personally, I always hated that when I would go to sell one of my hard-earned bags, I’d only be able to get 30-40% of its true value. I knew something in the luxury bag resale market needed to change to better serve individual sellers. And that’s when I decided to do something about it to make it more profitable- and way more fun.  

Tampa’s extension extraordinaire

what your beautiful designer bags are ACTUALLY worth. Not only will you get 100% of what your bag is worth in hair services, you will receive a complimentary consultation with me. 

I will take the time to really understand you and your hair to get you the perfect hair extensions for your new look - and maybe even a whole new you! Whether it's a full head of thick, luxurious hair or just a single weft for some va-va-volume, I’ve got the solution for whatever style you want to rock. You wear your hair everyday so why not invest in not only looking but feeling confident.

I have put my heart and soul into building the business of my dreams for myself and other stylists like me! But my most cherished role is Mother and Wife - and Hobby Farm Mama! I am so proud of my family and my little farm babies and wanted to share a little slice of my personal life with you all. Just look at my “Whiskey’s” (mini donkey) face! “Louie” pictured to the left is one of 6 Scottish Highlands and my favorite (SHHHHH, don’t tell the others). I love spending time making my entire herd happy. 

I love my clients and want to give you…
