Q: What is IBE?
A: What is IBE? IBE stands for Invisible Bead Extensions. This extension method is a new and innovative way of attaching hand-tied hair with a beaded foundation. IBE stands apart from other methods with its durability, versatility, and comfort. With IBE you can wear your hair comfortably in a high pony on day 1 of install. When installed and cared for correctly, this method will have zero damage to your hair or scalp, making it the superior method to any methods that I have used in my 10 plus years of experience.
​
Q: How much does it typically cost?
A: Cost varies a lot depending on what look we are going for. I say average pricing is between 800-2500. For more specific pricing, fill out my questionnaire, and we can set up a consultation for you to be one step closer to your dream hair.
​
Q: How is it attached?
A: IBE is attached using a beaded foundation. Then the highest quality hand-tied hair is sewn onto that beaded foundation.
​
Q: How long can I go between re-install appointments?
A: When you are ready for a move-up, we reinstall the hair every time. This happens on average, every 7-9 weeks.
​
Q: Can I wash and style my hair like normal?
A: You will want to shampoo less than normal and keep the hair very moisturized with a hair mask. Be careful when heat styling, Always use a heat protectant. The amount of heat styling/shampooing will play a factor in the number of times your hair actually lasts before we have to replace the hair.
​
Q: Is this going to damage my hair?
A: IBE is the most durable, safe, extension I have worked with. If I feel that for some reason you are not a good candidate, I will be honest and tell you.
​
Q: At what point do I need new hair?
A: With IBE, I use hair that is sourced from the most qualified, ethical, and reliable suppliers. The amount of time it lasts largely depends on how it is cared for at home. On average 7-9 months.
​
Q: How long does an install take?
A: This depends on how many rows, and what kind of color we have to do. Anywhere from 2-5 hrs.
​
Q: Will I be able to wear my hair up?
A: Yes! This method, when placed correctly, is undetectable, and comfortable while wearing your hair in a high or low ponytail. Bonus: you can wear a pony on day 1 after install!
