What the move-up does
Microlink Move-Up & Style is a maintenance session that repositions microlink attachments as your natural hair grows, restoring a smooth, natural blend and balanced placement. This service is scheduled for 90 minutes and priced Starting at $250, during which we assess placement, correct visible gaps, and prepare the hair for a finished style.
As hair grows the original attachment points can drift away from the scalp, creating uneven sightlines, shifting weight distribution, or visible rows. The move-up resets those points closer to fresh roots so extensions sit correctly again. The goal is to maintain an even, comfortable wear rather than to replace worn or incompatible hair.
How we reposition attachments
Every move-up begins with a focused assessment of your current placement and the health of both natural hair and extensions. We identify areas where links have moved or created gaps, then reposition attachments to restore alignment and balance. If additional hair is needed for coverage or length, we can source premium extensions to match your plan.
If you choose new hair for an install, we offer premium luxury hair extensions designed for long-term use and professional coloring. Tell us your desired length and we will handle selection and preparation. Please note bundles are not included in install so replacement purchases are discussed separately from the move-up itself.
Styling and local considerations
Each appointment finishes with a professional style tailored to your daily life and Washington climate. Because the region has hot, humid summers and cool winters, we consider how seasonal humidity may affect hold and texture and recommend styling that performs for your commute and routine without promising long-term outcomes.
Studio Chique’s Langdon location is convenient for commuters using Rhode Island Ave–Brentwood and Brookland-CUA Metro stations, and we offer flexible early-morning and evening booking for parents and shift workers. We can also suggest self-care timing around visits to the U.S. National Arboretum or Union Market for those who want a weekend refresh.
