What the hybrid includes
The Custom K-tip + Microlink Hybrid blends two extension attachment styles: microlinks and K-tip bonds. Your stylist at Studio Chique selects a mix of both during a consultation so placement, weight distribution, and attachment type match your natural hair and styling goals. The balance between microlinks and K-tips is decided by hair density, length, and the look you want.
Because the hybrid is a customized service, the final scope and cost depend on that selection and the amount of hair used. The starting price is listed as Starting at $1650, and your stylist will outline choices that affect pricing before the install to help you decide what best fits your lifestyle and budget.
The installation process
Install appointments are thorough and methodical to ensure even distribution and a secure fit. Expect careful sectioning, placement of microlinks where gentle tension and adjustability are preferred, and K-tip bonds where a stronger anchored attachment works best. The full appointment duration is 300 minutes, which allows the team to prioritize precision over speed for a long-lasting, natural result.
Studio Chique schedules longer appointments with convenient early-morning and evening times to accommodate commuters using the Rhode Island Ave–Brentwood and Brookland-CUA Metro stations. Staff will advise on immediate aftercare steps and styling options so you can plan for your commute or errands around the install day.
Customization and pricing choices
Choices that shape price and outcome include the ratio of microlinks to K-tips, the quantity and length of extension hair, color-matching complexity, and any pre- or post-install services such as blending cuts or styling. Because each client’s hair history and goals differ, the team provides a tailored recommendation rather than a one-size-fits-all package.
Studio Chique’s location in Langdon serves clients across nearby neighborhoods like Brookland and College Park; this regional context matters because local climate—hot, humid summers and cool winters—can influence styling choices and maintenance planning. Your stylist will review how lifestyle and climate affect upkeep and styling before confirming the final price.
