How Tape-In Extensions Work at Studio Chique in Washington

$$MultiPurposeText$$

What to expect from application, color options, scheduling, and pricing for Tape-Ins in Washington.

How tape-in extensions attach

Application uses thin wefts sandwiched between clean, dry sections of your own hair. Technicians position each tape to lay flat and follow hair growth patterns, creating a low-profile bond. The method distributes weight evenly and focuses on a discreet edge so extensions move with your hair rather than sitting on top of it.

Included blending and styling are part of the install: we trim, blend, and style tape-ins to match layers and movement in your hair so extensions look integrated for everyday wear. Because hair is not included in the listed price, we confirm pack count and placement during consultation to balance coverage and your natural hair strength.

Selecting hair, length, and color

Clients purchase premium luxury hair extensions separately for installs; we offer selections designed for long-term use and professional coloring. Tell us your desired length and we arrange appropriate packs and shades. Note that hair is not included in the listed price, and an additional $50 charge applies for installations requiring more than two packs.

We do not color tape-ins in-salon; extensions are available only in natural brown and select blonde shades to ensure consistent colorfast performance. During consultation we match the closest shade to your natural hair and plan blending. Remember bundles or alternative extension types are not included in this install — plan ahead to avoid appointment delays.

Scheduling, local logistics, and care

Appointments are booked as a 90 minutes estimate; actual time may vary depending on pack count, blending, and styling. We offer flexible early-morning and evening slots to accommodate commuters using Rhode Island Ave–Brentwood or Brookland-CUA Metro stations, and midday openings for shoppers visiting Union Market or visitors planning self-care before a U.S. National Arboretum visit.

Maintenance needs vary with activity level, hair type, and how many packs were used; your stylist will explain follow-up care and product recommendations in the chair. Because we include blending and styling at install, we also review gentle handling for humid summers in Washington and practical tips for commuters balancing Metro or car travel to help keep your extensions manageable.

Bring your purchased extension packs or order through Studio Chique before your appointment so we can confirm shade and pack count. Arrive a few minutes early for consultation; remember hair is not included in the listed price, and an extra $50 applies when more than two packs are required.
