Andiamo Salon provides 2 types of weft installations: Invisible Beaded and Classic Bead & Sew.

Keeping your extensions refreshed and properly maintained is essential for healthy, seamless, long-term wear.

When booking a move up, clients can expect a cost of $150-$900 for this appointment depending on what install and how many rows you have. On average, 1-2 move ups can be done before needing a full reinstall.
CLASSIC SEW & BEAD - $150 MOVEUP / $225 INSTALL
This method combines the strength of a beaded foundation with the security of hand-sewn wefts. During your moveup, we gently release each bead and reinstall the weft to rebalance the weft back to the scalp. This is the classic weft installation.
HIDDEN BEAD / INVISIBLE ROW - SEAMLESS INSTALL - $225 MOVEUP / $300 INSTALL
This method is the most detailed option for client's who want the luxury of a seamless invisible row that is virtually undetectable where beads are completely concealed within the wefts.

WEFT EXTENSIONS FAQ
HOW LONG DO WEFT EXTENSIONS LAST AND CAN THE SAME HAIR BE REUSED?
Yes! The premium weft hair, with good care, is high-quality and can last anywhere from 6 to 12 months, sometimes longer. The longevity depends on how well you maintain your extensions at home and how often they’re worn or styled with heat. It is HIGHLY recommended to use the salon professional products recommend by Andiamo! as they are gentler and will help protect your investment. Always opt for Sulfate-free, Sodium Chloride-free shampoo and apply at the roots/scalp- never shampoo the ends. For conditioner, apply from the middle-length to the ends, and ensure to run it through all over for the last 30 seconds-1 minute. Using a weekly deep conditioning mask is also recommended for optimal care.
HOW OFTEN DO I NEED TO COME IN FOR MOVE-UPS FOR MAINTENANCE?
We recommend a move-up every 6–10 weeks, depending on your hair growth and the installation method used. This ensures your extensions stay secure, comfortable, and beautifully blended. Waiting too long between appointments can cause unnecessary tension on your natural hair.

WILL EXTENSIONS DAMAGE MY NATURAL HAIR?
When installed and maintained properly, weft extensions should not cause damage. Regular maintenance, gentle detangling, and professional removal are key to keeping your natural hair healthy. Matching your hair's natural density is very important. Fine hair requires fine, light-weight wefts versus thicker hair that can support a fuller, volume weft.
WHAT'S SO UNIQUE ABOUT THE "INVISIBLE-BEADED" ROW METHOD?
The invisible-beaded row method is an installation where the beads hide between layers of hair, creating a seamless and discreet attachment with less tension and no visible connection points. It’s ideal for those who want a natural, low-profile blend that feels as good as it looks. It is the ultimate luxury, seamless weft install available in the industry!
WHAT'S THE COST FOR HAIR INSTALLED WITH INVISIBLE-BEADED ROWS?
On average, to just add Volume = 1 Row = pricing starts at $1300. For adding Length & Volume = 2 Rows = pricing starts at $2300. For Maximum Volume and Length = 3 Rows = pricing starts at $2900. and up. Longer hair and thicker wefts add to the cost.
HOW DO I WASH MY EXTENSIONS?
Extensions can hold their style for days so you will get more wear out of your hair than expected. Always brush your hair gently before washing and use the recommended salon-professional products only. Gently cleanse the scalp between rows without rough scrubbing, then rinse thoroughly. If you have multiple rows, it's helpful to split the hair in half and wash the underneath first, followed by the top to ensure a full cleanse. Avoid washing daily as 2-3 times per week is ideal. Avoid using products with heavy oils or silicone on the hair as they can create a heavy buildup. Following the regular maintenance, gentle detangling, and conditioning are key to keeping your extensions clean, manageable and your natural hair healthy!
CAN I CURL AND STRAIGHTEN THE EXTENSIONS?
Yes, you can use hot tools, but it's important to avoid excessive heat to prevent drying and damaging the hair. Always use a thermal protecting spray and leave-in conditioner to help prevent heat damage.
CAN I COLOR MY HAIR WITH EXTENSIONS IN?
Yes, any coloring should only be done by a professional stylist. If you do highlights, avoid the extensions. It is NEVER recommended to bleach or lighten your extensions, however you can tone and gloss them using demi-permanent color.
CAN I WEAR MY HAIR UP IN A PONYTAIL?
Yes! One of the best things about one of the best things about modern wefts (especially invisible-beaded rows) is their flexibility. They lie flat to the scalp, allowing for comfortable ponytails, braids, and updos with no visible beads or tracks.
CAN I USE ANY HAIR BRUSH?
We carry a special extensions brush and it is VERY important to brush your hair at least once a day. You can use other brushes (round, paddle, vent, etc.) from the middle of your hair to the ends, just as long as those brushes aren't pulling at the rows at your root. Always brush your hair out prior to showering and always detangle hair gently. Do not brush or wash your hair upside down.
