 Pricing varies depending on your hair goals, length, and method. At Glamour Locks, we customize every installation, so your price reflects the amount of hair and the number of rows needed. During your consultation, we’ll provide a clear quote before scheduling your appointment. On average for length and volume total cost ranges between $1,200 and $2,000 

With proper care, professional extensions can last up to a year, depending on the hair quality and how you maintain them. You’ll need to come in every 6–8 weeks for a “move-up” to keep your wefts sitting perfectly and your natural hair healthy.

Not when done correctly — and especially not with our method. Traditional extensions that use heat, glue, or adhesives can weaken your natural hair and cause long-term damage. The Glamour Locks patented beaded weft system is completely non-damaging, using tension-free straps that eliminate stress on your scalp and hair. It’s the only method guaranteed to protect your natural hair while giving you a full, beautiful look.

Our invisible beaded wefts are ideal for fine or thinning hair. They add fullness and volume without pulling or putting pressure on your scalp, blending seamlessly with your natural strands.

Not at all — as long as they’re applied and maintained by trained professionals. Many traditional methods that use heat, adhesives, or attach extensions directly to your natural hair can cause breakage and scalp stress over time. The Glamour Locks method is different — it’s the only guaranteed non-damaging hair extension system, using a patented tension-free beaded design that protects your natural hair while adding beautiful length and volume.

Invisible hair extensions, like The Glamour Locks Hair Extension System, use hidden beaded rows that sit flat against your scalp, creating a smooth, undetectable look. The result is fuller, longer hair with zero visible bonds or tracks.

The stylist begins by creating rows of hair that are attached to a tension strap using small, lightweight aluminum beads. This strap evenly distributes weight and eliminates pressure on your natural hair, giving you the most comfortable and invisible extensions possible. Custom-colored wefts are then sewn onto those beads, creating a seamless blend that moves and feels just like your own hair.

Hand-tied extensions are ultra-thin wefts made from 100% human hair. They’re designed to lay flat against the head for a comfortable, seamless fit and can be layered for extra volume or length.

 Weft hair extensions are strips of human hair sewn together at the top to form one continuous track. They’re professionally attached to your natural hair to add length, volume, and thickness. At Glamour Locks, we use beaded weft extensions—installed with small, non-slip beads and a patented tension strap that removes pressure from your scalp for a safe, comfortable fit.

There are a few main types of wefts:

  • Hand-tied wefts: Very thin and flexible, perfect for fine to medium hair. They lay flat and look extremely natural.

  • Machine-made wefts: Stronger and can be cut to custom lengths. Best suited for medium to thick hair.

  • Hybrid wefts: Combine the comfort of hand-tied wefts with the versatility of machine-made ones.

All of our extensions are designed for a natural look and a completely damage-free experience.

The term hand-tied refers to how the hair wefts themselves are made — each strand of hair is tied by hand rather than sewn by a machine, creating softer, thinner, and more flexible wefts that lay flat and blend naturally.

Beaded weft describes the installation method — where lightweight aluminum beads and a patented tension strap are used to attach the wefts to your natural hair. This technique eliminates the need for heat, glue, or adhesives, providing a secure, non-damaging, and comfortable hold.

At Glamour Locks, we combine these concepts using hand-tied wefts installed with our tension-free beaded method for the most natural and gentle result possible.

We recommend move-up appointments every 6–8 weeks to keep your extensions secure and your natural hair healthy. This prevents tangling and maintains a flawless, natural flow. Sign up for our VIP program for unlimited re-ties for one flat fee starting at $79.95 per month

Yes, but it should always be done by a professional stylist. We can custom-tone your extensions to perfectly match your color — whether you’re brightening blondes or deepening brunettes.

A full installation typically takes between two and four hours, depending on the number of rows and your hair length. Maintenance appointments are usually much shorter.

 At Glamour Locks, we use only 100% virgin or minimally processed human hair — never Remy hair. Virgin hair means the cuticle is fully intact and aligned, which gives the extensions their natural shine, softness, and bounce. The cuticle layer is essential for long-lasting quality and a realistic look.

Cheaper hair types, like Remy, often have the cuticle removed or partially stripped, which causes tangling, dryness, and a shorter lifespan. Our premium virgin hair ensures your extensions stay beautiful, healthy, and natural-looking for months.

It’s best to use salon-grade, sulfate-free products. Avoid heavy oils or silicone-based products near the roots, as they can loosen the beads or weigh down your extensions.
Yes. Every client begins with a personalized consultation. During your visit, we’ll assess your hair type, goals, and color match to design a custom plan that ensures flawless, natural-looking results.

Hair Extension FAQ's

We offer three types of 100% ethically sourced weft extensions:

  • Hand-Tied Wefts: These are meticulously crafted by hand and provide a lightweight and natural look.
  • Machine Sewn Wefts: These wefts are sewn by machines, offering a durable and robust option for thicker hair.
  • Hybrid Wefts: Combining the best of both worlds, hybrid wefts are a blend of hand-tied and machine-sewn techniques, providing both strength and flexibility.

The process of getting hair extensions at a salon typically takes around 1-2 hours. If you are adding additional services such as coloring, please be prepared for an increase in the overall time required.

 

The lifespan of hair extensions can vary depending on the type of extensions, the quality of the hair, and how well they are taken care of. Generally, if properly maintained, hair extensions can last anywhere from 3 months to 6 months. However, some higher-quality extensions can last up to a year or longer with careful maintenance. It’s important to schedule re-ties to ensure the longevity of your hair extensions.

 

es, you can wash and style your weft hair extensions similarly to your natural hair. However, there are a few important points to keep in mind:

  1. Shampoo: It’s recommended to use sulfate-free and gentle shampoo and conditioner to cleanse your extensions. Avoid harsh rubbing or scrubbing, as this can cause tangling or damage. Instead, gently massage the products into the hair and rinse thoroughly. Be sure to wash your extensions less frequently than your natural hair to preserve their longevity. We recommend using Cuticle Lissehair care and styling products. Learn more at CuticleLisse.com.
  2. Styling: You can style your weft hair extensions using heat tools, but it’s crucial to use heat protection spray beforehand. Set your tools to a lower temperature and avoid applying excessive heat directly to the weft. Additionally, avoid tugging or pulling on the extensions when styling to prevent strain on your natural hair.
  3. Brushing: Use a wide-tooth comb or a brush with soft bristles to detangle your extensions gently. Start at the ends and work your way up to avoid causing unnecessary tension or damage. Avoid brushing when the hair is wet, as it can be more prone to breakage.

When hair extensions are properly maintained, they will not cause significant damage to your natural hair. In fact, the only patented, non-damaging solution is the Glamour Locks system.

  • Professional Application: Make sure your extensions are applied by a Glamour Locks professional stylist who is certified in our method and or has experience with the type of extensions you are using.
  • Proper Maintenance: Follow the care instructions provided for your specific type of extensions. This includes gentle brushing, avoiding excessive heat, and using recommended hair care products.
  • Avoiding Tension: Ensure that the extensions are not too tight, which can cause stress on your natural hair. Also, avoid styles that pull excessively on the extensions.
  • Regular Check-ups: Schedule regular check-ups with your stylist to maintain the health of your hair and extensions, and address any issues promptly.

By following these guidelines and choosing the Glamour Locks system, you can enjoy the benefits of hair extensions without compromising the health of your natural hair.
