What to ask about when getting weaves
When you call a salon about weaves, ask about the installation method they use—sew-in, hand-tied, pre-glued—since not all salons offer every option. Find out what quality hair they work with, how long an appointment takes, and what the maintenance schedule looks like. Some salons see their weave clients every 4-6 weeks for adjustments; others work on longer timelines. Get a clear picture of what's involved before you commit.

How to prepare
Your natural hair needs to be in decent shape to support a weave. Before your appointment, ask what the salon wants—some want a fresh wash and blow-out first, others have different steps. Bring photos of the style you're after. The specialist will tell you whether it's doable with your hair type and the methods they use.
