Thinking about hand-tied extensions? You’re not alone. I’ve worked with hundreds of clients across Austin who are curious—but unsure—if hand-tied is right for them. And honestly? The answer is: it depends on your hair.

At Harlow, we don’t believe in cookie-cutter beauty. We’re known for crafting looks that enhance your natural hair, not hide it. And hand-tied extensions? They can be a game-changer—but only when they’re done right.

First, What Are  Hand-Tied Extensions?

They’re exactly what they sound like—wefts of 100% human hair that are tied (not glued!) into your own hair using a gentle bead-and-thread method. The result? Volume, length, and thickness that feels like it’s all yours.

Not all extension methods are created equal, and as a certified extension educator, I’m here to guide you through the decision. Our clients range from postpartum moms regaining confidence to career women needing a little extra volume for stage presence (yes, even news anchors!).

What to Know Before You Book

Here’s what we look at during your consultation at Harlow:

➤ Your Hair Density

Finer hair? You’ll need fewer wefts and a strategic placement plan to avoid tension or breakage. Thicker hair? Let’s talk volume goals.

➤ Your Scalp Sensitivity

Got a sensitive scalp? We customize placement and tension to make sure your install is both secure and comfortable.

➤ Your Lifestyle

Do you work out often? Are you a frequent traveler? We match your extensions to your daily habits—because you shouldn’t have to change your life to change your hair.
