Service steps and scope
This service includes removal of your current sew-in, essential hair prep to create a smooth foundation, and a precise reinstall that leaves a polished finish. Leave out reinstall is included so a natural hairline can be blended. Note that bundles are not included in the install; you should bring the hair you want reinstalled or discuss options before booking.
During the appointment our team focuses on three clear stages: careful removal to free natural hair from the previous install, foundation prep to ensure a smooth base, and a reinstall that aims for even tension and neat placement. The outcome depends on the condition of your natural hair and the quality of the bundles you bring, so assessment at arrival helps set realistic results.
What to expect during appointment
Appointments are scheduled to allow time for complete removal, thorough prep, and a meticulous reinstall. The full service is priced at $410 and the listed duration is 225 minutes. You’ll have a brief consultation at the start so the stylist can assess the current install and natural hair, confirm the leave out placement, and agree on final shape and finish before work begins.
Studio Chique’s Langdon location accommodates commuters and neighborhood clients with flexible booking options, including early-morning and evening times for parents and shift workers. If you’re coming after using Rhode Island Ave–Brentwood or Brookland-CUA Metro stations, allow a few extra minutes for check-in so the stylist can start with a clean consultation and the removal phase.
Aftercare and local considerations
After reinstall, we’ll discuss how to keep the look tidy between visits. Washington’s humid summers can affect longevity and styling choices, so we’ll recommend simple practices to manage moisture and styling at home. Because bundles are not included, bring the hair you prefer; the quality and texture of those bundles will influence how the style settles and how long it looks polished.
If you plan a longer visit to nearby Union Market or a walk through the U.S. National Arboretum, consider scheduling self-care packages before or after your appointment. Studio Chique serves Hyattsville, Mount Rainier, College Park and nearby neighborhoods, making midday or after-work bookings convenient for commuters and local families balancing schedules.
