IBE® Extensions Services
IBE® is the secret weapon to thick, comfortable and voluminous hair.
Backed by two patents and designed to address common problems with traditional methods, Invisible Bead Extensions (IBE) is the top choice for hair extensions. Whether you want more thickness or long voluminous curls, IBE® can transform your hair.
Here are a few reasons why IBE® is the most sought after extensions method.
Undetectable
Extensions are attached to a flexible, hidden bead foundation that sits flat against the scalp, creating a perfect blend with natural hair. In fact, IBE® pioneered “the original flip-up” movement, where a photo of a bead-less extension row reveals just how seamless they look in their most raw view.
Styling Versatility
The lightweight design and strategic placement of the extensions enable effortless movement and styling. You can rock ponytails, updos, and braids without anyone realizing you’re wearing extensions!
Eliminates Discomfort
Unlike traditional methods that use tight wefts or bulky attachments, IBE® distributes weight evenly across the hair, eliminating any pulling or tugging sensations.
Non Damaging
No heat, glue or tape here! A poor extension install can harm your hair and scalp due to factors like tension and over-direction. The careful installation process of IBE® ensures that each bead is securely and evenly placed, protecting the health of your natural hair and scalp.
Solution to Hair Loss
IBE® is gentle, comfortable, and safe, providing a confidence-boosting solution for those experiencing hair loss due to factors like health conditions, genetics, or stress.

Thin, fine hair + health issues. Unhappy with prior methods
"I've been wearing extensions for 20+ years; with the last 13 year being consistent with some type of extension in always. I’ve not taken a break and if you see my before photo you’ll understand why. My hair has always been my biggest insecurity. It’s always been thin and fine, adding in some health issues, it makes my hair even worse. I’ve also had almost every type of extension; keratin, tape and hand tied to name a few.
I recently went to Kate for the IBE method and to say I’m impressed is an understatement. These are easily the best extensions I’ve ever had. Her dedication to her education on the perfect install technique is so apparent in how amazing these feel and look. I’m finally able to wear my hair up, something I’ve never been able to do with any other extension because of how fine my hair is, you could always see the extensions with my hair up and that’s a big pet peeve of mine but now I can finally wear my hair up!!!
They have been extremely comfortable from the first day. No pulling or tugging or that feeling of being too tight. Extensions are a luxury service, they take dedication on our part to take care of them but I’ve never had extensions like this before. It’s definitely an investment but to me, it’s worth every penny!!!! I would absolutely recommend Kate and can’t thank her enough for giving me such beautiful hair!!!!!"

Extensions newbie and nervous about the process and upkeep
"Kate has so much knowledge on the Invisible Bead Extensions. Having never had extensions before I was a little nervous with the process and upkeep at home. Kate took the time to show me how to care for them, going as far to even demonstrate on herself. She assisted me with products and answered all of my questions.
While the install takes time, the process was painless and the follow ups from Kate to check in on how everything was feeling were very thoughtful. She paid close attention to my grow out and always made sure the extensions were perfect.
She really is an expert in these extensions and I am so happy I made the decision to do them and have her install them. I am sure my experience would not have been as wonderful had I gotten them at a different salon. I really appreciate Kate going above and beyond, she is definitely someone I would recommend for all your hair needs!"

Years of hair loss + horrible extensions experience at another salon
"After years of hair loss, I finally found a salon that makes me feel amazing about myself. I’ve been wearing my extensions for 1.5 years and came to Kate after a horrible extension experience at another salon.
These IBE hair extensions are SUPERB, Kate’s talent and attention to detail is phenomenal. These hair extensions are the ultimate game changer! They are comfortable and really easy to take care of. The salon is beautiful, clean and a place of relaxation."

Frequently Asked Questions
What are Invisible Bead Extensions® (IBE)?
IBE® is a unique extension method designed to be virtually undetectable, comfortable to wear, and less damaging to natural hair. The extensions are sewn onto a flexible bead foundation that sits flat against the scalp, resulting in a seamless blend with natural hair.
Who is an ideal candidate for IBE®?
IBE® is suitable for individuals with most hair types who desire a natural look with minimal damage, especially those looking to add volume, length or both.
How long does IBE® typically last?
With proper care and maintenance, extension hair can last anywhere from 6 to 12 months. The extensions themselves can be reused a few times, but you'll need to come in for maintenance every 6-10 weeks to move them up as your natural hair grows.
How is IBE® different from other extension methods?
IBE® are different because they do not involve glue, tape, or heat, which can cause damage to natural hair. The beadwork used is virtually invisible, making the extensions blend seamlessly, and the method places less tension on the scalp, reducing the risk of damage and discomfort.
How long does the installation process take?
The initial installation of IBE® can take anywhere from 2 to 6 hours, depending on the desired volume and length. Every appointment is different and timing is based on color work needed as well as the number of rows to achieve your look. Maintenance appointments typically take 1.5 to 3 hours, depending on the quantity of rows installed.
Can I style my hair normally with IBE®?
Yes, you can style your hair as usual with IBE®. The extensions can be washed, blow-dried, curled, and straightened just like your natural hair. It's recommended to use heat protectants and avoid excessive heat to prolong the life of the extensions.
What is the maintenance routine for IBE®?
Maintenance includes regular brushing to prevent tangling, using recommended products, and scheduling regular move-up appointments every 6-10 weeks. Avoid sleeping with wet hair, and use a silk or satin pillowcase to reduce friction. Extension care can seem tedious, but once the learning curve is over, they are easier to maintain than natural hair.
Can I swim or exercise with IBE®?
Yes, you can swim and exercise with IBE®, but it's essential to take precautions. Wearing a swim cap, rinsing your hair with fresh water before swimming, and using a leave-in conditioner can help protect the extensions. After exercising, wash and dry your hair to prevent sweat buildup.
