Frequently Asked Questions

Get answers to common questions about sewing maintenance.

We generally recommend sewing maintenance every 4–6 weeks depending on your hair growth, styling habits, and extension density. Regular visits prevent tangling and reduce stress on tracks, keeping both your natural hair and extensions healthy and secure.

When performed by certified professionals, sewing maintenance protects natural hair. Our stylists carefully remove buildup, adjust tension, and repair loose stitching to minimize stress. If previous installs were too tight, we provide corrective steps to avoid further damage.

A standard appointment includes a scalp and track assessment, gentle cleansing, detangling, tightening or re-sewing loose wefts, trimming excess thread, and personalized product application plus at-home care guidance.

Sessions typically last between 45 and 90 minutes depending on extension fullness, time since last maintenance, and any necessary repairs. Minor tightenings are quicker, while corrective or full-track adjustments require more time.

Yes — washing 24–48 hours before your appointment with a residue-free shampoo is ideal. After maintenance, follow our product recommendations and avoid intense styling for 24 hours to protect the tracks and stitching.

We recommend sulfate-free, residue-free shampoos, lightweight conditioners, and leave-in treatments formulated for extensions. Avoid heavy oils near tracks. Our salon offers professional products and will tailor a regimen to your needs.
