Hair Extensions 101: The Method We Swear By

Whether you’re craving length, volume, or just a little boost of confidence, hair extensions can be a total game-changer. But with so many options out there, it can be hard to know where to start. That’s why we’re sharing what makes hand-tied weft extensions our salon’s go-to method — and why they’re one of the most requested services behind our chairs.

Hand-tied extensions are a method where wefts of hair are sewn onto a row of beads that are strategically placed along your natural hair. There’s no tape, glue, or heat involved — just a seamless, comfortable, and natural-looking result.

Why we love them:

  • Lightweight and comfortable
  • Blends beautifully with your natural hair
  • Minimal damage when properly cared for
  • Custom color-matched and layered for a flawless finish
  • Perfect for adding both volume and length

Hand-tied extensions are ideal for people who want a natural-looking way to add volume, length, or both. If you’ve struggled with clip-ins or tape-ins that feel bulky or visible, this method is a game-changer.

Here’s a little inside look into our process when you get extensions at Urban Eve:

  1. Consultation – We’ll color match, talk about your hair goals, and cost of your investment. For all new extensions, we require a consultation before any purchasing of hair.
  2. Install Day – Be ready for a few hours in the chair while we create your custom rows.
  3. Blending Cut + Style – We tailor the shape to ensure it blends perfectly.
  4. Home Care Education – We’ll show you exactly how to care for your new extensions.

Extensions are an investment — not just in your hair, but in how you feel. If you’re curious about whether hand-tied extensions are right for you, book a complimentary consultation with one of our certified stylists. We’ll walk you through the process, cost, and care — no pressure, just honest guidance.
