Hand-Tied Weft Extensions in San Diego
The method for fine hair. Each weft is hand-tied to make a track thin enough to add fullness without adding bulk, and thin enough to blend several tones into one row.
Move-up every 6 to 8 weeks
How it works
A beaded foundation is created first, then the hand-tied weft is sewn onto it. The weft itself is tied by hand rather than machine, which is what makes it so much thinner than a machine weft, and thin is the whole point.
Built for fine to medium hair
Fine hair does not fail at extensions because extensions do not work on it. It fails when the weft is too thick for the hair carrying it. A hand-tied weft is thin enough to lie flat and disappear on hair that would show a heavier track.
The colour trick most people never notice
Because the wefts are so thin, several can go into a single row. That means Alisa can blend an array of tones in one row rather than matching to one flat shade. That blend is the reason a good set does not read as installed. Every tone she carries hangs on the rod in the salon and is matched against your hair in your light.
Maintenance
Hand-tied wefts need a move-up every six to eight weeks as your own hair grows. The hair is reused through multiple move-ups.

Questions about hand-tied weft extensions
Are hand-tied extensions good for fine hair?
Yes. Hand-tied wefts are specifically suited to fine and medium hair because the weft is ultra-thin and lies flat, adding fullness without the bulk a thicker weft would put on hair that cannot carry it.
How often do hand-tied wefts need maintenance?
A move-up appointment every six to eight weeks, as your own hair grows and the row moves away from the scalp.
Can hand-tied extensions match my hair colour?
Better than most methods. Because the wefts are so thin, several tones can be blended into a single row rather than matching to one flat shade, which is what makes the colour read as natural.
