Hand Tied Hair Extensions
If you’re looking for fuller, longer hair, you may want to consider hair extensions. Hair extensions are a long-lasting, easy to care for way to achieve more volume, more length, or both. Here at G Marie Beauty CO, we offer hand-tied hair extensions, which don’t damage your natural hair like other types of extensions might.
Hair extensions can be confusing, so we’ve answered some of the most common questions below.
Do hand-tied hair extensions damage my natural hair?
Our first concern when it comes to any hair service is keeping your natural hair healthy. Hand-tied extensions don’t use glue or tape that might damage your hair, and they are easy to maintain as well. You can use shampoo, conditioner, and hair products like normal with hand-tied extensions, so your natural hair doesn’t have to suffer and you don’t need to change up your hair routine.
Can I curl or style hand-tied hair extensions?
Hand-tied hair extensions can be brushed, combed, styled, and even curled like normal. Keep in mind that if you style your hair with heat, you should use a heat protectant first to protect both your natural hair and your extensions. This type of hair extension is very secure, so you can feel free to style it like you would your natural hair.
How long do the extensions last?
You can typically expect your extensions to last anywhere from six months to a year with proper care and maintenance. We’ll tell you exactly how you should care for your extensions to get the most longevity out of them, and you can always call us with questions as well.

Full Hair Extension Installation
For the initial installation of hand tied hair extensions, you can typically expect to be at the salon for one to two hours, depending on how many extensions you need to achieve your look. Hand-tied extensions are much quicker than microbeads, but can take longer than tape-in extensions.
With proper installation, your hair extensions will be comfortable and will blend in with your natural hair seamlessly. It may take a day or so to get used to the sensation of having the extensions in, but eventually you shouldn’t even notice them.
Hair Extension Maintenance
Hand-tied hair extensions need to be maintained approximately every 6 to 8 weeks. As your natural hair grows out, your extensions will drop and put more tension on your scalp. In addition, you’ll find it harder to brush and style your hair, and the extensions may be more noticeable.
Full extension maintenance involves completely taking out the extensions and then re-tying them in. This maintenance is necessary to keep your hair, scalp, color, and extensions looking and feeling good.
Mini Move Up
If you’ve just had a bit of growth and have taken good care of your extensions, you may just need your extensions to be moved up a little bit. This procedure is relatively quick and easy, and can help to extend the life of your extensions as well as keep your scalp healthy.
How Much Does Extensions Cost?
The pricing for hair extension installation does not include the cost of the hair extensions themselves. Hair extensions can range in price depending on length, quality, and whether it’s human hair vs synthetic. We’ll help you to decide which type of extensions are right for you during your initial consultation, when you tell us your hair goals.
