Frequently Asked Questions
K-TIPS
What are K-Tips?
K-Tip extensions are a premium, long-lasting extension method that uses small keratin bonds to attach individual strands of extension hair to your natural hair. Each bond is carefully fused by a trained stylist, creating a lightweight, discreet installation with natural movement and maximum styling flexibility. Because the bonds are small and individually placed, K-Tips blend beautifully with your natural hair and allow for a seamless, luxurious finish. K-Tips are an excellent choice for clients looking for fullness, length, versatility, and a low-maintenance extension option that can complement an active lifestyle.
How long do K-Tips last?
With proper care, maintenance, and professional installation, K-Tip extensions can typically last between 3 to 5 months. Longevity can vary depending on your natural hair growth, lifestyle, and at-home care routine. Following your stylist’s recommended maintenance and hair-care instructions will help preserve the quality of your extensions and keep your installation looking beautiful for as long as possible.
How long is the K-Tip service?
K-Tip extensions are a highly detailed, strand-by-strand installation, so service time can vary depending on the thickness of your natural hair, the amount of hair being installed, and your desired final look. Most clients can expect their K-Tip appointment to take approximately 5 to 7 hours. Our goal is to provide a comfortable, unrushed salon experience while ensuring every keratin bond is carefully placed for a seamless, natural-looking, and luxurious finish.
Micro Wefts
What are Micro Weft Hair Extensions?
Micro Weft hair extensions are a premium beaded extension method designed to add beautiful length, volume, and fullness without the use of glue or heat. During the installation, small discreet beads are used to create a secure foundation, and high-quality human hair wefts are carefully attached in horizontal rows for a smooth, seamless blend with your natural hair. Micro Weft extensions provide natural movement, styling flexibility, and a flatter, more comfortable finish than many traditional extension methods. They are an excellent choice for clients looking for long-lasting, natural-looking hair extensions while maintaining access to their natural hair and scalp. At Canvas Hair Studio in Houston, our customized Micro Weft installations are designed to create luxurious, full-bodied results that complement your hair texture, lifestyle, and desired look.
How long do Micro Weft hair extensions last?

Longevity can vary depending on your natural hair growth, lifestyle, styling habits, and how well the extensions are maintained. Regular salon maintenance helps keep your Micro Weft extensions secure, comfortable, and beautifully blended while protecting the health of your natura

General
Are micro wefts and micro links the same service?
While micro weft and micro link (also known as I-tips) are both services available at Canvas Hair Studio to provide our clients with a clean, versatile and quality hair installation, they differ in application, longevity and cost. Check out our Artistic Director, Chara, as she explains the difference in a video here.
How much is the Micro Weft or K-TIP service?
Because no two manes are the same, we start the process with a consultation. During the consultation, our stylist helps you determine if micro weft or i-tips best suits your specific hair needs and provides you with a quote. You can book your consultation here or call 713-239-4260.
Are Micro Wefts or K-tips ideal for people with natural or short hair?
Both methods were made for those who want to let their natural hair be free. We have a wide selection of extension options to fit all natural hair types. Also, if your hair is short, no problem. We just need 3-4 inches of natural hair to provide a secure install.
Where can I get the hair needed for micro wefts and K-Tips?
Canvas Hair Studio makes the extension process simple and seamless by offering a curated selection of premium human hair extensions directly in our salon. We carry multiple luxury hair textures and lengths suitable for Micro Wefts and K-Tip extensions, so you can select the best match for your natural hair, desired look, and lifestyle without having to purchase hair from an outside supplier.
