What are hand-tied, beaded row extensions?
Hand Tied Beaded Row Extensions are a type of hair extensions that are custom colored, cut to blend, & placed for each individual guest to create a natural & beautiful look.
What are invisible bead extensions?
Invisible Bead Extension was designed to create more volume and/or length with both comfort and versatility.
IBE was created by McKenzie Turley to create a solution for the common issues that come up with many hand-tied methods including discomfort and/or damage to the clients hair due improper bead placement and lack of versatility because of exposed beads, bonds, or braids when hair is worn up.
IBE are lightweight, secure, and balanced. Because of the unique bead and hair-weft placement, IBE insures comfort and discretion with many options for styling including ponytails, braids and buns from the first time you wear them. There is no tape or glue involved. Rest assured I use only high quality, Remy, silicone free, ethically sourced human hair.
I have been trained and certified in IBE and continue to receive extended education to insure that I can give you the most updated versions that come along with this method. I am on the official IBE map of certified stylist and take great pride in it as the qualifications of standards are very high.

CAN I SWIM WITH EXTENSIONS?
You can swim with your extensions at your own risk. Recommend doing so with pre wet hair, a tight braid and leave in conditioner or mask. Be sure to keep your extensions away from sunscreen, as the chemicals, specifically avobenzone, can alter the color and quality of the extensions. I recommend using a mineral SPF that does not contain avobenzone.

No, the extensions will not damage your hair as long as they are maintained properly.
