Brickell has plenty of salons. It has far fewer studios that do extensions as a specialty rather than as an add-on service, and that is usually why clients end up driving north.
We are at 3250 NE 1st Ave in Midtown Miami — about ten minutes from Brickell Avenue outside rush hour, straight up North Miami Avenue or Biscayne. This guide covers what actually happens at a first appointment, what it costs, and how to fit the maintenance schedule around a working week.
Start With A Consultation, Not An Installation
Book the consultation first. It is free, it takes about fifteen minutes, and it exists to stop you spending money on the wrong thing.
Your stylist checks four things: the density of your own hair, its condition at the mid-lengths and ends, your natural shade against the hair we stock, and how you actually wear your hair day to day. Someone who wears a high ponytail at the gym four times a week needs a different placement than someone who never ties their hair up.
You leave the consultation with a written quote: method, grams of hair, hair tier, installation cost, and the move-up interval. Nothing is booked until you have that number.
The Methods We Install
INVISI Links (K-tips) are our most-requested method. Small keratin-bonded strands are applied individually and cut into your own hair. They move naturally, they suit fine hair because the bonds are small, and they are the most flexible for placement around a part or a fringe.
Tape-ins are faster to install and sit flat, which works well under fine, straight hair. They need refreshing more often than K-tips.
Wefts are a continuous strip attached along a row. They add the most volume per hour of installation, which makes them efficient for thick hair that needs length rather than density.
Real Pricing
Installation and hair are priced separately, because the hair is yours to keep and reuse. Installation is priced by the number of links, so a smaller set genuinely costs less rather than being billed at a flat rate.

Hair is sold in three quality tiers. The tier changes how long the hair lasts and how it behaves after repeated washing and heat styling — a good set reused across several move-ups is usually cheaper per month than replacing a cheap set twice a year. Your stylist will tell you plainly which tier is worth it for your hair and which is not.
The Maintenance Schedule
Extensions are not a one-off appointment; they are a schedule. Plan for it before you commit.
A new set takes about four hours. Move-ups come every 8 to 10 weeks as your own hair grows and the bonds travel down, and a move-up is much shorter than the original installation. With reasonable care, quality hair is reusable for around a year across several move-ups.
For Brickell clients working downtown, the practical pattern is a first appointment on a Saturday and move-ups on a weekday morning — the drive north is under fifteen minutes before 9am, and a move-up rarely takes the whole morning.
Miami Humidity Is The Real Variable
Humidity affects extensions more than most people expect. Damp hair is weaker, and bonds that sit in damp hair for hours are the ones that slip.
The rules that matter: dry the bonds properly, never sleep on wet hair, brush from the ends upward with a loop brush, and tie hair loosely before the gym or the beach. Chlorine and salt water are hard on both the hair and the bonds — rinse the same day.
Booking From Brickell
Parking in Midtown is straightforward compared with Brickell — there is street parking and the Midtown garages are a short walk.
