Understanding Sew-in Maintenance & Styling at Studio Chique in Washington

$$MultiPurposeText$$

What to expect during a maintenance visit and how we keep your sew-in smooth, secure, and refreshed.

What the service includes

We begin with a focused cleanse, condition, and dry to remove product and settle the hairline, then perform tightening and adjustments across the install as needed (this is not a weft-by-weft rework). This service keeps the sew-in secure while preserving the style; it is intended as periodic maintenance rather than a full reinstall.

Many clients schedule this service after about four weeks because an install can need more support than simple styling alone. Note that the full appointment time is not depicted in this service option; if you expect a complete rebuild or extensive weft work, plan to book a longer service so we can allocate appropriate time.

How we handle your extensions

If you need hair for an install, we offer premium luxury extensions designed for long-term use and professional coloring. Tell us the length you want and we will source and prepare the hair to match the install — saving you an extra trip and ensuring material suited to our maintenance approach.

Our team handles matching and preparation, including color-ready bundles, so the extensions work with the sew-in as it settles. We do not claim specific coloring outcomes, but we can supply hair that tolerates professional color work and advise whether a coloring appointment is appropriate before or after maintenance.

Local fit and care tips

Washington’s humid summers and cooler winters influence how a sew-in settles and how often you need touch-ups. Studio Chique sits in Langdon with easy access from Rhode Island Ave–Brentwood and Brookland-CUA Metro stations, making after-work or midday maintenance visits practical for commuting clients.

We offer flexible early-morning and evening booking options for parents and shift workers balancing family and work. Consider pairing the maintenance appointment with a self-care package when visiting the U.S. National Arboretum or Union Market for a fuller wellness day.

This Sew-in Maintenance & Styling option is priced at $165 and is listed as a 30 minutes service; it covers a targeted cleanse, condition, dry, plus tightening and adjustments throughout the install. If you expect a full reinstall or extensive weft adjustments, book a longer appointment.

Call or book online to ask about hair purchasing, timing, or pairing with a weekend self-care package. We aim to make maintenance appointments convenient for commuters from Hyattsville, College Park, and nearby neighborhoods.
