Hand-Tied Extensions & Lived-In Color FAQs

How long do hand-tied hair extensions last?

Hand-tied extensions typically last 6–8 weeks between maintenance appointments, with the hair itself lasting up to 912 months when properly cared for. Custom placement and tension protect your natural hair and maximize longevity.

Are hand-tied extensions safe for fine hair?

Yes, when installed correctly. We offer lightweight, low-tension, natural beaded row, single strand, and hand-tied weft extensions. These options make them an excellent option for fine or fragile hair.

What is a lived-in hair color?

Lived-in hair color is a low-maintenance color technique like balayage highlights. It is a color look designed to grow out softly without harsh lines. By focusing on dimensional tones and strategic placement, your color looks intentional for months.

How often do I need to come in for lived-in color maintenance?

Most lived-in color clients return every 10–16 weeks, depending on desired blonde or brightness, and your hair goals, but color planning depends on your maintenance preferences.

Do I need a consultation for hand-tied extensions?

Yes. A consultation is required to determine the correct method, hair type, length, and investment. This ensures the extensions blend seamlessly and align with your hair goals.

Can I combine hand-tied extensions with lived-in color?

Absolutely. Many guests choose both services together for fullness, length, and a soft, natural finish. Custom helps hair extensions blend flawlessly with your natural hair.
