A Customized Approach to Hair Extensions
Choosing hair extensions isn’t just about length, it’s about best fit. During your consultation, we look at:
- Hair density and texture
- Scalp comfort and sensitivity
- Desired length and fullness
- How you wear and style your hair
- How often you want maintenance
This allows us to guide you toward a method that blends seamlessly and feels wearable day to day.
Weft Extensions (Hidden Beaded Row)
Weft extensions are one of the most natural and versatile ways to add fullness and length. At Studio W, we apply wefts using a hidden beaded row technique, creating a secure, low-profile result that’s comfortable and discreet.
Our stylists are trained and certified in hand-tied extension methods, ensuring precise placement and a balanced, seamless finish.
Weft Extension Brands We Use
Amplify Wefts
Crafted from 100% Remy human hair, Amplify wefts are flexible, thin, and highly customizable. They can be layered for dimension and trimmed without unraveling, making them ideal for tailored results.
Hotheads Wefts
Hotheads offers both machine-finished wefts with added density and ultra-lightweight hand-tied wefts with invisible returns. These options allow us to customize fullness while maintaining comfort and scalp health.
Tape In Extensions

What are Sew In Weft Extensions?
«Weft extensions go by many names, like hand tied wefts, beaded row wefts, and sew in wefts. Our weft extensions are thin and trimmable like genius wefts and are applied with a hidden beaded row method. 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.
How long can I wear my weft extensions?
«Weft extensions are a long lasting method with proper care at home.
- Lifespan: high-quality hair lasts 6+ months with proper care
- Maintenance: rows are moved up every 6 weeks to stay close to the scalp
- Reapplication: hair can be removed and reapplied several times
What are tape in extensions?
«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 wear time and the care they need.
- Life span: Hair lasts a total of 5-7 months with proper care.
- Maintenance: Hair is removed and reapplied every 6-8 weeks with fresh tape
- Reapplication: Hair can be removed and reapplied up to 3 times
How much do Hair Extensions cost?
«We get this question a lot, and it's a tough question to answer over the phone or on DM. The overall cost depends on the type of hair, the amount and length of hair, plus the time it will take to install it. The best way to answer your question is by coming in for a free hair extensions consultation.
What is fairy hair?
«Fairy hair is anything that makes your hair sparkle and shine, from clips to feathers and shiny tinsel in a rainbow of colors. Fairy hair accents can be installed on your natural hair, or blended into other hair extensions. Fairy hair is increasingly popular and for ALL ages, even if you've never considered hair extensions, you'll love having some fun with fairy hair.
