Time to get the hair of your dreams!
What are they? How are they installed?
Handtied Extensions, also known as beaded weft extensions, is a method where a stylist attaches beads onto a row of a client’s natural hair. A weft of extensions are then placed on top of (and sometimes below) the beads and sewn together. The detailed process is ideal for those looking to add more volume and length that looks natural without putting too much tension on the scalp or hair. After lots of experience and research, it is in my opinion the safest method of installing extensions.

Extension Hair Maintenance
Moveups required every 6- 8 weeks.
Brush gently multiple times a day starting from the ends and working your way up to the roots
Always blow-dry completely to prevent molding. Do not let them air dry more than 3 hours.
Sleep in low braid(s) or ponytails.
Oild miss to ends at least once daily.
Only use professional shampoo and conditioner bought from a hairstylist.
Always use heat protectant!
Shampoo less frequently if possible (1-2 times a week)
Use a silk/satin pillowcase if possible
Do not use any SPF on your body. It can cause them to turn an orange/pink color. MINERAL sunscreen is the only safe SPF to use.
When swimming, coat the hair in conditioner and wear in a braid or bun. Beware: salt water and chlorine may discolor the hair.
FAQ’s
-
Every 6-8 weeks. Moveup & Installation pricing is the same.
-
If properly maintained, every 12 months.
-
I require a $20 nonrefundable, nontransferable deposit to book a consultation. This is only to ensure my time is being respected. If you choose to book an install, the $20 will be applied to your installation appointment.
-
There is always the possibility of damage when you are attaching something to your natural hair. That being said, if the extensions are installed correctly and taken care of properly at home, you shouldn’t experience any damage.
-
Absolutely! For those who work out often or like to wear high ponies/messy buns I recommend the “unseen” method over the “original” method.
-
Yes, you can. However I do not recommend doing it often as chlorine and salt water can both alter the color and softness of the extensions. When swimming I highly recommend coating the hair in a light conditioner and braiding it to reduce the risk of matting and/or discoloration.
