What the service does
Microlinks Extended Growth Maintenance (6+ Weeks) repositions the existing microlinks to restore a secure, balanced fit and maintain a smooth transition between extensions and natural hair. This appointment focuses on adjusting links that have moved with growth and daily wear, then finishes with professional styling for a refreshed, polished appearance.
If you need hair for an install, we offer premium luxury extensions designed for long-term use and professional coloring; simply tell us the desired length and we will handle the rest. Note that bundles are not included in the install, so any hair purchase is arranged and priced separately from the maintenance fee.
How results are achieved
During a scheduled 120-minute appointment we carefully move and reset microlinks to redistribute weight and rebalance tension across the head. The stylist checks the blend with your natural hair throughout the process and applies a finishing style to integrate extensions with natural texture, leaving a smooth, even silhouette.
Because this service is intended for clients six or more weeks after their last maintenance, expect adjustments that compensate for new growth and daily wear. The amount of repositioning needed varies with hair growth rate and activity level; your stylist will prioritize secure placement and a natural-looking blend within the appointment time.
Scheduling and local considerations
Studio Chique is located in Washington's Langdon neighborhood, with easy access for commuters from Rhode Island Ave–Brentwood and the Brookland-CUA Metro stations. We offer flexible early-morning and evening booking to fit parents and shift workers, and many clients choose after-work or midday appointments to combine with neighborhood errands or visits to Union Market.
Local climate and lifestyle affect maintenance choices: Washington’s humid summers can influence styling and how extensions blend with natural hair, so regular repositioning helps manage the look. Clients from nearby neighborhoods like College Park and Brookland often pair maintenance visits with self-care services for a single convenient trip.
