How the attachment works
The beaded weft method at Studio Chique uses small silicone-lined beads to gather thin sections of your natural hair. Machine weft extensions are then clamped into those beads, creating secure rows. Starting at $510, this service is quoted with a typical Duration: 120 minutes, but actual time depends on hair density and the number of wefts required.
Clients must supply or purchase premium hair for their install; bundles are not included in the base install price. We carry luxury hair extensions engineered for long-term use and professional coloring, and during consultation we'll confirm length, color matching and the quantity of weft bundles needed. Pricing shown is for the install service only; hair cost varies by length and volume.
What to expect during install
Every Beaded Weft requires a consultation before booking so we can assess hair condition, color needs and exact quantity of wefts. Allotted service time is an estimate and not the exact booking time; the appointment may take longer depending on density and color work. Our Langdon location makes after-work or midday bookings convenient for commuters using Rhode Island Ave–Brentwood or Brookland-CUA stations.
Please arrive prepared: bundles are not included in the install, so bring pre-purchased hair or plan to buy extensions during your consultation. We offer flexible early-morning and evening booking options to accommodate parents and shift workers. Consider pairing your appointment with a self-care package when visiting nearby Union Market or the U.S. National Arboretum for a weekend trip.
Aftercare and long-term use
Studio Chique’s premium hair extensions are selected for long-term wear and compatibility with professional coloring, which allows color adjustments during your appointment when appropriate. Your stylist will discuss safe styling choices and recommend a maintenance schedule during the consultation. Because the beads and wefts are installed mechanically, follow-up visits may be necessary to keep rows neat and comfortable.
Washington’s humid subtropical climate can affect curl pattern and product choice; we’ll advise on humidity-resistant styling and maintenance at your visit. Routine check-ins are scheduled based on how your hair and scalp respond, and the stylist will note any adjustments to bead placement or styling technique required. Maintain communication with your stylist for product recommendations and scheduling.
