How Clip-Ins Install Works at Studio Chique in Washington

$$MultiPurposeText$$

What to expect during a professional clip-in placement, blending, styling and local logistics for Washington clients.

What the service includes

Clip-Ins Install is a professional add-on where your clip-in extensions are expertly placed and blended for a polished, undetectable finish. The service is ideal for special events or daily glam. Styling is included as part of the install, and this traditional clip-in option does not involve braiding — if you want braided clip-ins, an additional $65 applies.

Pricing for the Clip-Ins Install begins at $195, and the appointment is scheduled for 60 minutes. If you need to purchase hair for the install, Studio Chique offers premium luxury extensions designed for long-term use and professional coloring — simply tell us your desired length and we will handle the rest. Note that bundles are not included with the install.

How results are achieved

Achieving a natural look depends on matching the clip-ins to your hair’s color, texture and length. Our stylists focus on placement and blending so the extensions move naturally and sit securely, producing a smooth finish without visible tracks. The quality of the extension hair and your own hair density influence final volume and movement, so we discuss expectations during your consultation.

Clip-in extensions are removable and offer temporary volume without long-term commitment, making them suited for events or daily wear depending on your routine. They do not require braiding in the traditional install, which keeps install time consistent. Because appointments are sixty minutes, people commuting via Rhode Island Ave–Brentwood or Brookland-CUA Metro stations often find after-work or midday slots convenient.

Preparing and aftercare tips

Before your appointment decide whether you will bring existing clip-ins or purchase extensions with us. If buying from Studio Chique, tell us the length you want and we will source premium hair suitable for professional coloring. Bringing your own pieces is fine, but note that bundles are not included in the install and stylist time will focus on placement and blending.

Aftercare is straightforward: clip-ins are removable for easy storage between uses, and proper storage and gentle handling extend their usable life. Because Washington’s summers can be humid, styled movement may vary with weather; discuss finish and hold preferences at booking. If you require coloring of extensions, we can accommodate premium hair designed for professional color application, which may require additional service time.

Plan for a 60-minute appointment and allow time for consultation and finishing styling — styling is included in the service. Bring your clip-ins if you have them or let us order premium hair to your requested length. We’re conveniently accessible from Rhode Island Ave–Brentwood and Brookland Metro stations.

Book a Clip-Ins Install to match your schedule — we offer flexible early-morning and evening appointments for commuters and parents. Studio Chique serves Langdon and nearby Hyattsville, College Park and Brookland; consider pairing your install with a self-care package before or after a visit to the U.S. National Arboretum or Union Market.
