Hand Tied Weft Applications at Monaco Salon Tampa




Hand Tied Wefts are extremely popular in Tampa and with good reason. Of all the types of hair extensions we've worked with, wefts provide our guests with the most all-around wearable, durable set of premium hair extensions, especially for extended lengths. For our weft installations, we use Genius Wefts, which are ultra lightweight and ultra long-wearing.
Monaco Genius Wefts
We love weft applications for their flexibility and natural movement they give because of the beads. Our genius wefts are machine threaded and finished by hand so that each weft be trimmed along the seam without any unraveling. Each weft is a full 11 inches wide, the ideal length to go from ear to ear, yet totally customizable for smaller areas. Available in 14 pre-colored shades, and color can be further customized in the salon.

Wefts are hand tied and can be trimmed along the seam without any unraveling, and attached using our beaded row method. Available in dozens pre-colored shades including blended and rooted shades. Color can be further customized in the salon.

Hand Tied Weft Installation Methods
Weft extensions are applied with a beaded row method, but there are 3 different techniques that we can choose from depending on your hair.
Classic Beaded Row
This technique uses a system of beads and thread to attach wefts of hair to your natural hair. The extensions are placed in rows, creating a "track" that is then secured with beads and sewn into your natural hair. The beads are customized in color and wefts are cut to blend seamlessly with your hair, creating a natural look.
Express Beaded Row
The express technique is a modified version of the classic. It takes less time, but requires maintenance at 6-8 week intervals vs the 8-12 weeks. But if you're returning to the salon at a 6-8 week interval for hair color or a toner, than this could be a great option for you.
Color Customization for Hair Extensions
This is where the magic happens. Your hair extensions will be customized to match your hair color, creating a seamless color match. After all, you want your extensions to look and feel just like your own hair. We can blend your extensions in to a highlighted look, a balayage or rooted look - we have the hair color expertise to nail your color. We can even use extensions to give you the highlights and dimensional color you ultimately want.

Frequently Asked Questions About Our Hair Extensions
Will hair extensions work on short hair?
«If you have short hair, or hair with shorter layers, we can apply hair extensions as long as your hair is at least 3-4 inches long. Depending on your current style, we may recommend one type of hair extensions over another. We recommend starting with a free hair extensions consultation. https://www.monacosalon.com/booking
Read more on our blog about hair extensions and short hair.
Do you offer NBR extensions?
«We get a lot of questions about NBR weft extensions. First, let's clarify because the method and the brand go by the same name. We do not offer the NBR brand of extensions. We do offer the NBR method (Natural Beaded Row) for our genius wefts. Learn more on our blog about the differences between natural beaded row extensions and Monaco wefts.
Will the extensions match my exact hair color?
«Yes! We order the closest match possible, then customize with blending, highlights, or lowlights.

Can you re-install hair extensions that have been worn already?
«Whether or not we can re-install hair will depend on a few factors, as our priority is always to protect the integrity of your hair and provide you with a high quality service. Generally speaking, we can re-install hair from any company as long as it is in good condition, 100% human hair, and appropriate for the methods we use.
Here are some difference scenarios to clarify our policy on reinstalling hair.
If your hair was installed at Monaco Salon and we're doing a maintenance appointment on your hand-tied wefts, or hair topper, YES we reuse and re-install the hair as often as we can over the life expectancy of the hair. We will let you know when your hair is getting close to the point where it needs to be replaced.
Suppose you took a break from your extensions and you want to bring us hair purchased at Monaco Salon, and within one of our installation methods, YES we can reinstall the hair provided that it is still in good shape.
What if you come to us for maintenance or move up for extensions that were purchased and installed somewhere else, will we reinstall the hair? If the hair is within one of our installation methods and within one of the specific brands we work with (Great Lengths, Bellami, Hair Dreams etc) YES we can reinstall the hair provided that it is still in good shape.
Will we install hair you purchased elsewhere and have worn, and it is within one of our installation methods and within one of the specific brands we work with (Great Lengths, Bellami, and Hair dreams), YES we can reinstall the hair provided that it is still in good shape
Will we re-install keratin bond extensions? NO, once removed, keratin bond hair cannot be reapplied, regardless of where you purchased them or which brand they are. Keratin bond extensions are a one time use item and can not be reinstalled once removed.
Can you install extensions that I purchased somewhere else?
«Generally speaking, we can install hair from any company as long as it is in good condition, 100% human hair, and appropriate for the application methods we use. No matter where you purchased the hair, even if already worn, we can re-install it provided that the hair meets that criteria.
Can you custom color hair extensions that I purchased somewhere else?
«We understand that some guests already own hair extensions and may want us to adjust the color. While we don’t mind installing extensions you’ve purchased elsewhere, we will not color, dye, or lighten any extensions not purchased directly through Monaco Salon—even if they are human hair or a brand we regularly use.
Here’s why:
- Unknown quality cannot be guaranteed. Not all hair labeled “100% human” is the same quality. Some extensions are processed in ways that make them unpredictable when exposed to color. Coloring them can lead to breakage, uneven tones, or permanent damage, and we can't be responsible for that.
- Chemical history is unknown. If we didn’t source the hair, we can’t know how it was previously processed (bleached, tinted, or chemically treated). Even small differences in processing can affect how the hair reacts to color.
- Protecting your investment. Coloring extensions is not like coloring natural hair—it’s more delicate and far less forgiving. By only coloring hair we’ve supplied, we protect you from spending money on extensions that might be ruined in the process.
Warranty Policy Reminder:
If you purchase extensions and have them installed at Monaco Salon, only our stylists should cut or color those extensions. If another salon alters them in any way (cutting, dyeing, or lightening), any remaining Monaco Salon warranty on the hair is voided.
How do I care for my extensions at home?
«Caring for your extensions at home is easy once you learn 4 basic rules. View our hair extensions home care guide.
How much do hair extensions cost at Monaco?
«We get a lot of calls with this question, and the answer depends on many factors. Hair extensions prices can range from a few hundred dollars to over a thousand dollars depending on the brand, the attachment method, the amount and length of hair. Application time also impacts the cost of your hair extensions. We can propose different ways to work within your budget, depending on the look you are trying to achieve. You may not need a full head of extensions, and we can add volume and length where you need it.
