Attachment method and materials
Beaded weft uses a special attachment tool and small silicone beads to gather fine sections of your natural hair; machine-made weft extensions are then clamped to those secured beads. This method concentrates extension weight on multiple small points rather than one large track, and the silicone beads reduce slipping while remaining removable by your stylist.
If you need to purchase hair for your install, we supply premium luxury wefts designed for long-term wear and professional coloring. Tell us your desired length and we’ll match hair and shade choices — note that bundles are not included in the install and must be purchased separately.
Installation timing and expectations
The listed duration for the service is 120 minutes, which is an estimate rather than an exact booking time. A consultation is required before booking so we can assess hair density, length, color work and create an accurate time plan; specifics of your appointment may make the session take longer than the estimate.
We offer flexible early-morning and evening appointment options to accommodate commuters using Rhode Island Ave–Brentwood or Brookland-CUA Metro stations and nearby workers. Use the consultation to confirm scheduling, arrival preparations and any additional time needed for color matching, blending, or customized placement.
Care and local considerations
Beaded wefts require routine maintenance and professional styling to keep the attachment points healthy and discreet. Because the Washington area has humid summers and cool winters, styling choices and product recommendations may differ seasonally — your stylist will suggest maintenance timing and home-care steps that fit regional climate and your daily routine.
Maintenance appointments and styling services are available at Studio Chique; the frequency and length of those visits depend on your hair growth, lifestyle and how the wefts were placed. Remember that the service may take longer depending on appointment specifics, and that purchasing bundles is separate from the install cost.
