Hand-tied wefts · Aprille's signature
Hand-tied extensions: the most natural way to wear more hair.
Thin wefts sewn by hand onto a small beaded row — no glue, no heat, no bulk. Hand-tied is the method Aprille reaches for first, because it moves like your own hair.
Who it's for
You want length, fullness, or both across the whole head — and you want it to be undetectable. Your hair is healthy enough to carry rows (checked honestly at the consult). Comparing hand-tied with tape-ins? Here's why Aprille stopped offering tape-ins.
What install day looks like
About 3–4 hours in the chair, color work included if your match needs it. You leave with a care walkthrough and product guidance — not a mystery routine.
The maintenance rhythm
As your hair grows, the rows move up in a maintenance appointment roughly every 2 months. The hair itself is typically reusable across move-ups with good care.
The hair itself
Premium wefts from trusted vendors, matched to your color and texture in person. From consult to install is about a week — often sooner.

Hand-tied extensions — your questions, answered
How long do hand-tied extensions last?
The install itself lasts as long as you maintain it: your natural hair grows, so the rows move up in a maintenance appointment roughly every 2 months. The hair itself, with good care, is typically reusable across multiple move-ups.
Do hand-tied extensions damage your hair?
Installed and maintained correctly, hand-tied wefts are one of the gentlest methods — no glue and no heat at the attachment point. The honest caveat: your hair needs to be healthy enough to carry them, which is exactly what the free consultation checks.
Can I wear a ponytail with hand-tied extensions?
Yes. The rows sit flat against the head, so ponytails, buns, and workouts are all realistic. Placement is planned around how you actually wear your hair.
How much do hand-tied extensions cost in San Diego?
It depends on four variables: the amount of hair, the length, any color work, and your goal. That's why there are no fixed prices here — you get an exact, personal quote at the free consultation, before any commitment.
How long does a hand-tied install take?
Plan for about 3–4 hours for the install itself, plus color time if your match needs it. You leave with a full care walkthrough and a limited 30-day correction promise.
