How K-Tips Extensions Work for Clients in Washington

$$MultiPurposeText$$

Explains the K-tip method, hair purchasing, and what to expect for the classic install starting at $1650 and lasting 5–10 months.

What K-Tip Extensions Are

K-Tips are a strand-by-strand pre-tipped extension option offered in Classic, Custom, or Invisible placements. These lightweight, flexible extensions are designed for long-term wear, described by Studio Chique as low‑maintenance and requiring no move-up, with an expected lifespan of 5–10 months when cared for according to your stylist’s guidance.

Choosing between Classic, Custom, or Invisible depends on desired density, placement and how you style daily. The base pricing covers a natural look with 175g installed; installation is a focused service that takes 6–8 hours to complete, so plan for a full-session appointment at the studio.

Buying Hair For Install

Studio Chique provides premium luxury hair for installs and for clients who need us to source extensions. Tell your stylist the length you want and the salon will arrange appropriate hair that supports professional coloring and long-term wear. The price shown reflects the classic K-tip install only; bundles are sold separately.

Full payment for the install is required 72 hours before your appointment and becomes non-refundable after that deadline. The service starts at $1650 and the studio installs 175g as the default amount for a natural finish; customers should plan timing and budget accordingly when booking.

Aftercare And Longevity

Proper care is the difference between a short trial and the maximum lifespan customers see. The extensions are intentionally low-maintenance and need no move-up, but they still benefit from gentle handling, routine styling attention and following any specific care advice from your stylist. Local climate — Washington’s humid summers — can affect styling choices and product use.

Installation is a significant appointment that requires time and planning: the service block is listed at 420 minutes to allow for precision placement and finishing. Studio Chique offers flexible early-morning and evening booking to accommodate commuters, parents, and shift workers who need convenient appointment times around Metro travel.

Expect a detailed, time‑intensive appointment and plan travel accordingly: the install occupies a long service block and full payment is due 72 hours before the appointment, non-refundable after. Confirm whether you want Classic, Custom, or Invisible placement when you book to reserve the right preparation time.

Bring clear pictures of your length and density goals and be ready to discuss color plans — Studio Chique will handle hair sourcing to match your request. If you commute via Rhode Island Ave–Brentwood or Brookland-CUA Metro, flexible after-work bookings are available to fit your schedule.

We came here for a class field trip and I must say I learned a lot about entrepreneurship and what it’s like to run a small business as the owner took the time out of her day to speak with us. It was a very informative discussion and I am very impressed with the establishment especially as they have services for men as well!...more

Luxury in every aspect. Make no mistake, Ms G and the entire team at Studio Chique deliver the full range of top tier beauty and wellness services. As an unapologetic "Spa Baby", I've done the circuit. With the "OG" vacation spa, Canyon Ranch, the original luxury day spa Bliss Soho (before she sold it) and everything betwixt and between. Come experience Luxury in our community. Every amenity you could want - warm citrus hand towel upon arrival, cafe with beverages and bites while you are pampered, gorgeous gilded interior. You will leave beautiful, buffed and buoyed with pride. Queens - we deserve Studio Chique....more
