What to Look For in a Weave Stylist
Weaves require skill and experience. When evaluating a salon, ask how long stylists have worked specifically with weaves and what methods they use—sew-in, hand-tied, fusion, clip-in. Each has different care needs. Beyond the install, look for salons that discuss maintenance: how often you'll need touch-ups, what products to use, how to sleep to protect the weave, and how to care for your natural hair underneath. If a salon offers a consultation before your appointment, that's a strong indicator they're thinking through your hair type and what method will work best.
