What happens during service
A bead move up repositions the beaded row that secures weft extensions as your natural hair grows. The stylist re-seats the weft, adjusts tension and checks each attachment for security. After the mechanical adjustment, a gloss is applied to the extension hair and your natural hair to refresh color and surface appearance. The appointment is scheduled for 90 MINUTES and priced at $215.
You’ll have a brief consultation at the start to confirm placement, color tone and any tightening needs. Expect careful checks of the weft alignment and bead integrity; if a section needs repair or a different approach, your stylist will discuss options before proceeding so you know the exact adjustments being made.
How gloss refreshes color
The gloss step deposits a light color layer and smooths the hair’s surface to enhance shine and reduce visual porosity between extensions and natural hair. It can even out subtle tonal differences caused by shampooing or sun exposure, helping the weft blend more naturally with your own hair without altering the underlying installation.
How long the gloss lasts depends on washing frequency, product choices and local climate. In Portland’s Pacific Northwest weather — with cool, wet winters and drier summers — exposure to moisture and frequent washing can affect how quickly the surface shine and tone soften, so maintenance frequency is shaped by your routine.
Aftercare and local scheduling
After the service, gentle handling and appropriate products help the bead and gloss hold. Use sulfate-free shampoos, avoid heavy oil at the bead line, and detangle with a wide-tooth comb from tips upward. These steps reduce stress on beads and wefts, helping the moved-up attachment remain secure while the gloss maintains surface sheen between appointments.
