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.

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.

ultra wefts

Invisible Beaded Row

Beaded rows are sandwiched between weft hair. This method is ideal for women who like to wear a top knot without worrying about camouflaging their attachments.  This is more labor intensive than the traditional method and is therefore more expensive.

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.

My experience with Wally was the absolute best, All the way from the moment I walked into the salon, I was treated so hospitable and well taken care of my hand tied weft extension experience couldn’t have been better truly. I went from using tape in extensions and many other forms of extensions on my fine hair and had all kinds of damage. Wally was the first person I’ve ever let install and trust with my hair to use the hand tied wefts, already I can tell you she’s super gentle and I don’t feel any tension on my scalp I can barely tell they are even in my hair. She did an amazing job I look forward to my healthy hair journey as prior I’ve always killed my curls using heat and I can now wear my hair more natural curly since she’s installed textured hair. thank Wally for such an amazing experience! Highly recommend Wally!

A local friend recommended Jordan at Monaco so I scheduled a consult. We talked about my current situation of fried, bleached, chemical cut chaos I had going on and what I needed to do to get it back to healthy luxurious lusted after locks. We discussed color and extensions. Monaco has their own line of extensions and I had used Bellami for long as I can remember. I’ll admit, I was extremely apprehensive about switching hair but I decided to go for it. I mean, what’s the worst that can happen?! We came up with a game plan and scheduled the appointment. I couldn’t be happier! Color? On point! Extensions? So much more comfortable while still being full! My hair is getting healthier and growing out. It no longer looks like a mullet when we take the extensions out for maintenance.

I had lost a lot of my hair due to an autoimmune condition and Krista worked her magic to make me feel like my normal self. Due to the thinness of my hair we had to do a mixture of bonds and wefts, but she spent so much time on making sure my extensions looked seamless and natural. I highly recommend, especially to those with more challenging cases like mine!

After losing a lot of my hair due to stress I felt extremely ashamed and ugly. The staff was incredibly supportive and made me feel more comfortable than any salon I've ever been to before. Krista does my hand tied extensions and let me just tell you, she killed it. With the help of her amazing staff, they matched my hair color perfectly

Anel at the Bay to Bay location did an amazing job helping me achieve my goals. I have 18 inch blonde extensions and I let my hair go uncolored for months. I wanted to be brightened up but remain “lived in” and “natural” and he did just that. He did the perfect amount pop with extra lightening framing my face, while seamlessly blending the colors to allow for an easy, natural grow out. I will definitely go back to Anel in the future.

Kaysie has been doing my extensions for about 4 years. Originally I was only having them done for my wedding but I loved them so much, I kept them. Monaco Salon is the best!!!!

Frequently Asked Questions About Our Hair Extensions

Will hair extensions work on short hair?

«

Yes. As long as your natural hair is at least 3-4 inches long, we can blend extensions seamlessly. Depending on your current layers and density, we may recommend one method over another (such as K-Tips for very short styles) to ensure the attachments remain invisible. We can determine the perfect plan during your free consultation.

Do you offer NBR extensions?

«

Clarification: We offer the Method, not the Brand. "NBR" (Natural Beaded Rows) is both a specific brand of hair and an installation technique. At Monaco Salon, we utilize the Natural Beaded Row method to install our premium Genius Wefts because it offers superior comfort and blending. However, we do not sell the NBR brand of hair. We prefer to source from luxury suppliers like Great Lengths and HairDreams.

Learn about the differences between natural beaded row extensions and Monaco wefts.

Will the extensions match my exact hair color?

«

Absolutely. We rarely take a single color out of a box and apply it. We order the closest premium match and then custom-blend, highlight, or root-shadow the extensions to ensure they mimic the dimension and tone of your natural hair perfectly.

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 re-install hair extensions I already own (or purchased elsewhere)?

«

Generally, Yes. Our priority is maintaining the integrity of your hair. We can re-install hair extensions—even if purchased at another salon—provided they meet three criteria:

  1. They are 100% Human Hair.
  2. They are in excellent condition.
  3. They are compatible with our methods and brands (specifically Great Lengths, Bellami, HairDreams, and Zora Hair).

Important Policy on Keratin Bonds: No. Once removed, Keratin Bond extensions cannot be re-applied. They are a single-use luxury method. This applies regardless of where they were purchased.

Can you custom-color hair extensions that I purchased somewhere else?

«

No. While we are happy to install outside hair that meets our quality standards, we will not color, dye, or lighten any extensions not purchased directly through Monaco Salon.

Here is why we strictly enforce this policy:

  • Unknown Quality: Not all hair labeled "100% Human" is true to grade. Lower-quality hair can melt or break when exposed to professional color.
  • Unknown Chemical History: We cannot know if the hair was previously bleached or coated with silicone. Even small chemical differences can cause the hair to turn unexpected colors (like pink or green) during processing.
  • Protecting Your Investment: Coloring extensions is high-risk. By only coloring hair we supply, we guarantee the results and protect you from ruining expensive hair.

Note: If you have extensions installed at Monaco Salon, they must only be altered by our stylists. If another salon cuts or colors them, your Monaco warranty is voided.

How do I care for my extensions at home?

«

Home care is simple once you know the basics. The most important rules are to brush gently from ends to root, use sulfate-free professional products (like the ones in your Gift Set), and never sleep with wet hair. We will provide you with a full guide during your appointment.

How much do hair extensions cost at Monaco?

«

Pricing is fully customized based on the look you want to achieve. Costs can range from a few hundred dollars for volume-only fills to over $1,000 for full-lengthening transformations. Factors include the brand chosen, the method (Weft vs. K-Tip), and the amount of hair required. Because every guest is unique, we provide an exact, transparent quote during your Free Consultation.
