All Your Questions About Invisible Beaded Rows Answered
If you love the idea of long, full hair but want your weft extensions to stay discreet, the Invisible Beaded Row method may be the perfect option for you. This installation method gives you a seamless, natural look with no visible attachment points when you wear your hair up.
Hair vs Method
First let's distinguish between hair and method of attachment. For the hair, we use genius wefts and for curly and textured hair, we might prefer wefts that hand-tied. At Monaco Salon, we use only high-quality human hair wefts, custom colored and blended to match your own hair perfectly.
Regardless of weft construction, or even the brand manufacturer, the wefts can be attached to your natural hair in a variety of ways. Each are tried and true, but depending on your hair type and the desired level of upkeep, we may recommend one over another. The most popular installation method is the Invisible Beaded Row.
Invisible Beaded Row Method (IBE / Hidden Beaded Row)
This attachment method uses a sandwich technique: beads are secured to your natural hair, and wefts are sewn both above and below the bead track, fully concealing the attachments. This structure allows for seamless up‑styles and high ponytails without revealing any beads. Because of the extra sewing involved, this method may require more time to install so it may cost more than other methods.
Colored Beads Create a Row
We color-match your hair to our beads that come in light, medium, or dark, which helps conceal them in your hair.
Beads are gently placed in a row along the scalp and attached to your hair to form a base. Then wefts are then sewn into each bead to complete the row. Then we repeat the process for each row we need.
How Are Invisible Beaded Rows Different from Traditional Methods?
With a classic beaded row, the extensions can sometimes peek through when you wear your hair up. Invisible Beaded Rows are designed to prevent that. Your natural hair is carefully sandwiched between the rows of extensions, hiding all attachment points from every angle.
This allows you to style your hair however you like—including high ponytails, buns, and top knots—without worrying that your extensions will show.
Are These Beaded Rows More Expensive?
Invisible Beaded Rows are more labor-intensive than traditional methods, which makes them a premium service. The process requires advanced training and precision to ensure the attachments are properly hidden and comfortable. The extra time and care involved are reflected in the price, but the flawless, discreet results speak for themselves.
Who Is a Good Candidate for Invisible Beaded Row Extensions?
This method is ideal for anyone looking for discreet, natural-looking extensions with flexible styling options. If you love to wear your hair up and want complete peace of mind that your extensions are hidden, Invisible Beaded Rows are a great choice.
How Long Do Invisible Beaded Rows Last?
Like all extensions, Invisible Beaded Rows require regular maintenance. On average, you’ll visit the salon every 6-8 weeks to have your beads moved up as your natural hair grows. The wefts are reused after the adjustment and with proper care, your hair can be reapplied multiple times.
