Frequently Asked Questions

Get answers to common questions about Microlinks Extensions.

Microlinks usually need tightening or repositioning every 6–8 weeks depending on hair growth and care. With proper maintenance, they can remain secure longer. Note: you must supply the hair — the salon does not provide extension hair for any service.

Properly installed Microlinks placed by a trained braider minimize stress on your strands. Use gentle brushing, avoid heavy products near the links, and schedule professional removals. Also bring suitable hair — the stylist does not provide extension hair, which affects tension and overall health.

Yes, you can use heat on the extension hair but avoid direct heat on the micro links and bonds. Use a heat protector, low-to-medium settings, and test a small section first. Proper technique prevents slippage — bring high-quality hair for safer styling.

Our base service includes two to three rows of micro links focused on adding targeted fullness and length. Additional rows can be added for increased coverage at extra cost. Please bring your own extension hair; the salon does not supply hair for services.

Wash, condition, and thoroughly detangle your natural hair before the appointment; hair should be clean and completely dry. Avoid heavy oils or conditioners at roots. Bring prepped, color-matched extension hair in good condition — remember the stylist does not provide hair for any service.

Yes, but suitability depends on hair strength, porosity, and breakage risk. Thin or chemically treated hair requires a careful consultation; the stylist may use fewer links, gentler placement, or recommend strengthening treatments first. Clients must supply compatible extension hair beforehand.
