Frequently Asked Questions

Get answers to common questions about Extension Maintenance - Tape-In Move-Up.

We recommend move-ups every six to eight weeks depending on your hair growth and lifestyle. During the appointment we reposition and tighten tapes, assess hair health, and provide personalized aftercare to maximize longevity and appearance.

When performed by certified stylists, move-ups minimize damage through gentle removal, correct adhesive handling, and strategic placement. We'll evaluate hair integrity, recommend strength-building treatments, and adjust techniques to protect your natural hair while maintaining extension performance.

Typical move-up appointments last sixty to ninety minutes, depending on the number of tapes and any additional services like styling or toning. We'll provide a precise timeframe during booking and allow time for consultation and hair assessment.

Yes — many clients refresh color, tone, or layers during a move-up. We assess the extension match before any chemical service, and may recommend a separate appointment if extensive coloring is required to protect hair and adhesive bonds.

Use sulfate-free shampoo and gentle brushing to prolong adhesion. Avoid oils at the roots, minimize heat, and sleep on a silk pillowcase or loose braid. Follow stylist instructions and schedule follow-up move-ups to maintain health and appearance.

Minor issues like lifting or slightly damaged tapes can often be repaired during a move-up using replacement tapes or repositioning. Severely compromised wefts may need replacement; we'll assess and provide transparent options and pricing before proceeding.
