What the service covers
Sew-In Styling at Studio Chique is meant only for an existing sew-in; our team will cleanse, condition, dry, and style the installed extensions to restore a clean, polished appearance. This service does not include tightening of tracks or reattachment, so guests who need adjustments should book a separate tightening or repair appointment.
The allotted service time is an estimate, not an exact booking length, and appointments may run longer depending on specifics of your visit. Factors such as heavy product buildup, long or dense extensions, or additional styling requests can extend the appointment. We advise allowing flexibility when scheduling, especially for clients traveling from nearby Metro stations after work.
How we prepare your sew-in
Our preparation focuses on cleansing and conditioning to remove buildup and restore manageable slip to the extensions and the natural hair beneath. That consistent base helps ensure drying and styling produce an even, smooth finish; the amount of cleansing or conditioning we perform depends on the condition of your sew-in and prior product use.
Drying and finishing are selected with the desired look and Washington, DC climate in mind. Hot, humid summers can reduce style longevity, so we choose approaches that balance salon polish with realistic hold. If you commute via Rhode Island Ave–Brentwood or Brookland-CUA Metro stations, ask about quick tips to preserve the style after travel.
Choosing hair and add-ons
If you need hair for an install, we offer premium luxury extensions designed for long-term use and professional coloring — simply tell us your desired length and we’ll handle the rest. Sew-In Styling itself assumes extensions are already installed; purchasing hair and scheduling an install are separate services and should be booked accordingly.
Add-ons such as tightening, repairs, or full reinstall are not included and require separate appointments. Plan an additional visit if track adjustments or extensive detangling are needed. Our flexible early-morning and evening booking options help parents and shift workers fit services around Metro commutes and family schedules in the Langdon neighborhood and nearby areas.
