What Microlink Move-Up Does
Microlink Volume Move-Up repositions grown-out microlinks so they sit closer to the scalp and blend with natural hair as it grows. Each link is moved up for balanced placement and a smooth, undetectable finish. This maintenance preserves extension fullness and reduces tension on natural strands while keeping the overall look refreshed between full installs.
Appointments start at $375 and run 120 minutes. The quoted price covers the move-up service only; bundles are not included in the install. If you need to purchase luxury hair for an install, we can supply premium extensions designed for long-term use and professional coloring, and we’ll coordinate lengths and color during booking.
How the technique works
During the move-up, each microlink is carefully loosened and repositioned higher on the natural hair shaft to maintain even weight distribution. Stylists check link spacing and balance before securing attachments so the finished line looks seamless. The priority is a secure, balanced placement that minimizes visible gaps and preserves the extension’s volume.
Because extensions and natural hair respond differently to humidity and daily styling, our team adjusts placement and tension with your lifestyle in mind. We work with premium luxury hair recommended for professional coloring and long-term wear, and we discuss any color-matching or blending needs before completing the move-up to ensure a cohesive outcome.
Aftercare and scheduling guidance
After a move-up appointment expect immediate cosmetic improvement and a return to normal styling within a day. Maintain gentle handling, detangle from ends upward, and avoid harsh tugging that can stress the attachments. Washington’s humid summers and cool winters influence texture and styling choices, so we may suggest small seasonal adjustments to your at-home routine.
Studio Chique offers flexible early-morning and evening booking for commuters who use Rhode Island Ave–Brentwood and Brookland-CUA Metro stations. When scheduling, tell us if you need to buy bundles for a future install; we’ll coordinate lengths and color options during your visit so your next full install stays seamless.
