Invisible Bead Extensions (commonly referred to as IBE extensions) are a method of installing extensions that uses silicone lined beads, cotton string, and your own natural hair to create a foundation to wear extension wefts.

This particular method is great for all hair types, and is well known in the industry to be the most comfortable beaded weft method with the best grow out and less potential for excessive shedding of the natural hair.

I am proud to be a certified IBE stylist because of the care they take in making sure artists are confident in their skills and have access to a community of amazing resources to stay ahead of the game when it comes to extensions!

Hair wefts are sections of hair that are sewn, hand tied or bonded at the top to crfeate a strip or "weft" of hair.

These wefts are used to add length, volume and/or color to your natural hair.

Your natural hair is brought through a row of silicone lined beads in a special way to create a solid foundation to lay the wefts below and above.

Then the wefts are hand-sewn onto the row that was created. This installation is considered a “beaded weft method”. There are no chemicals, adhesives, or heat used on this application.

In this method, the beads are hidden, which keeps your secret from anyone who looks at your hair, whether it is down, up, or in a special style!

The wefts can last 9-12 months with proper care and maintenance which we talk about during your consultation and first installation!

ABSOLUTELY!

Because this method uses no adhesives, you can treat these wefts just like you would your normal hair.

You can shampoo them, use heat and styling products on them, and wear them in any style you normally would (including new ones you will be able to do now that you have more hair!)

We will talk about the specific products you will need to maintain the life of the hair during your consultation!

Not if you don’t want them!

Everyone has a different goal for extensions. I am specifically trained with techniques that cause your natural hair NO damage, and I use blending techniques that do not require manipulating your own hair to blend the extensions.

Some clients wear them forever because they love them, some clients like to take breaks in certain seasons, or no longer wear them once they have achieved length and density on their own!
