Hand-Tied Extensions
One of the biggest trends in beauty, if you're looking for an extension installation process that keeps hair healthy by preventing breakage while adding length and fullness (when properly applied, of course) hand-tied hair might be for you!
How it Works
Hand-tied extensions offer length and fullness while being virtually undetectable. In this method, a row is created using beads and thread, and wefts of hair are then attached to this track. The application can take between 1.5-2.5 hours depending on the number of rows. Each application is customized to your hair and desired outcome, which is determined in your consultation.
