Offer Hand Tied Weft Extensions (Hidden Beaded Row) & Tape In Extensions

and NEW Tape Row Extensions

Women of all ages are using extensions to add length to their hair, fill out their style, correct a haircut, or color without chemicals! You'd be surprised who's wearing them. Brides-to-be love hair extensions, especially clips ins or tape in extensions, to boost their wedding updo. We offer the most popular types of hair extensions along with fun hair embellishments like tinsel, feathers and fairy hair accessories.

Hand Tied Weft Extensions

We have just completed a rigorous training process and all of our stylists are now certified in hand tied hair extensions. They're ideal for adding length and volume, and Amplify has thought of everything. Hair is available in 20 shades including natural tones, ombre, rooted, and blended shades. Even the beads and thread come in colors! 4 natural shades of each helps your attachments stay undetectable.

What are Hand Tied Wefts

Weft Extensions use as a sew in application and attach using a hidden beaded row method. Like tape in extensions, hand tied wefts are popular because they are lightweight and comfortable, even with extended lengths. Application starts with attaching a row of beads using string, then sewing a weft onto each bead. This is where all the training was key. We perfected our technique to keep the tiny beads out of sight and out of mind.

Amplify Weft Extensions

There are many high quality, reputable brands of hand tied extensions in the market today. For Studio W Salon, we choose Amplify. Their quality ranks with the best of them, 100% Human Remy hair with the cuticle intact. However, we loved the extra details that help make these extensions highly customizable.

  • Wefts are flexible which makes them more durable for longer wear
  • Wefts are thin and flat, easily combined within a row to create dimensional color
  • Wefts can be trimmed without unraveling or shedding- great for customization

How long do weft extensions last?

Maintenance:  Extensions are maintained every 6 weeks or so, re-positioned closer to the scalp
Reapplication: Hair can be removed and reapplied multiple times
Life span: Hair lasts up to 6 months or more


Tape In Extensions

Our tape in extensions can add length and volume, they're made with human hair, and they're available in all the in-demand shades, even fashion colors. They apply quite easily compared to other extensions, we can typically do a full head in about 1 hour. For those clients with particularly fragile hair or hair that's recovering from damage, tape in extensions are a safe choice. What's not to love!?

What are tape in extensions?

When it comes to long-wearing extensions, tape ins are the most popular at Studio W Salon. No clips or beads, natural hair is sandwiched between wefts and secured with a medical-grade adhesive strip. Wefts are small and flexible, which makes them easy to apply tight to the scalp for a natural look. They are lightweight, no worries if you're concerned about bulkiness, so you can wear a full head without feeling weighed down.

How long do tape ins last?

No matter which brand of hair we use, tape in extensions are all similar in the care they need.

Maintenance:  Hair is removed and reapplied every 6-8 weeks with fresh tape
Reapplication: Hair can be removed and reapplied up to 3 times
Life span: Hair lasts a total of 5-7  months with proper care.
