Hairdressers clients are not their friends .   Doesn't hurt to ask her but going to someones house is a lot more out of the way than a salon visit.   I always charge more for home visits.  Personally I think it is weird and defiantly the relationship would be different from then on.

I don't think it would be necessarily tacky, I guess it depends on the relationship you have with this stylist and her work obligations.
You can always try, if she says no for personal reasons, then at least you have tried. You can still go back to the salon and have your extensions taken care of there anyway.
For the dIY option, I'd say give yourself or your friend some time to figure things out, it takes some practice to learn a method, it doesn't mean it's impossible at all, it is just that maybe you want her to practice on a head -sorry I don't have the word for this, I mean the manequin head used by stylists to practice- before she starts on you.
There are plenty of easy DIY method if you want to go that route, such as the tape method, or Liquid Gold, or some fusion as well.
If you're taking this direction, spend a lot of time reading and researching online, there is a tremendous amount of info online if you only take the time.
Good luck

Right now I have great length 18 inch hair extension that we done in a high end salon buy a younger girl.  Its coming close to get them taken out, and I def. want to have them reapplied.  I have gotten pretty friendly with my hair-stylist and want to ask her if maybe she could buy the hair and come on over to my house and put them in.  Im sure it would be cheaper than a toal of $1700, and she could keep the profit.
 
I don't want to seem shady or cheap but thought it would work out for both of us.
 
Another option I have been watching lots of vids and researching micro-locks.  I want to ask a girlfriend to apply hair I buy offline.
 
Advice please!
