How the move-up works
Beaded weft move-up is a targeted maintenance service that repositions and tightens your existing weft panels to restore an even, natural blend. Our stylists inspect bead placement and scalp tension, loosen or adjust beads as needed, then secure the weft at the correct placement to prevent slippage while preserving hair integrity.
The process focuses strictly on maintaining installed extensions; no new hair is added during a move-up. Treatments are performed with long-term use and professional coloring in mind, so stylists work with your existing luxury hair to preserve color matches and minimize disturbance to previously applied color or customized blending.
Appointment experience and timing
Your move-up appointment begins with a brief consultation to assess weft condition, scalp health, and any tension points. Expect targeted adjustments rather than a full reinstall; the team evaluates bead integrity and repositions panels to restore the fall and distribution established during your original install.
Move-ups are scheduled for 60 minutes. Shampoo, blow-dry, or styling are not included and should be booked separately if you want a finished look after the service. Pricing starts at $195; the stylist will confirm the final scope before beginning so there are no surprises.
Care schedule and local factors
We recommend a move-up every 6–8 weeks to maintain tension, seam placement, and a natural fall. Regular move-ups help prevent slippage and uneven weight on the natural hair, extending the life of an install, but intervals may vary depending on your hair growth rate and daily styling habits.
Studio Chique serves Langdon and nearby communities like Hyattsville and Brookland; we offer flexible early-morning and evening booking for commuters using Rhode Island Ave–Brentwood and Brookland-CUA Metro stations. Humid summers and seasonal humidity changes can affect feel and hold, so local climate and lifestyle influence move-up timing and at-home care.
