Nano Bead Basics
What are nano bead extensions?
Nano beads are one of the smallest bead attachment methods available, over 90% smaller than traditional microbeads. No glue, no heat and no tape are involved.
How are nano beads different from microbeads?
Nano beads are significantly smaller and more discreet than microbeads, making them easier to disguise and gentler to apply and maintain.
How long does an application take?
A full-head application usually takes two hours, depending on the amount of hair being added and your consultation plan.
Suitability
Is my hair suitable for nano beads?
Most hair types can be considered for nano beads. We’ll assess your hair’s thickness, condition and length together at your free consultation.
Can I get nano beads if I have coloured or previously treated hair?
Yes. We’ll colour match your extensions to your natural or coloured hair during your consultation for a seamless blend.
What if I’ve had a bad experience with extensions before?
That’s exactly why we start with an honest, no-pressure consultation — so we can talk through what happened before and whether nano beads are a better fit.
Fine & Thinning Hair
Are nano beads a good option for fine or thinning hair?
Because nano beads are so small and lightweight, they can be a considered option for hair that has not suited heavier or more visible methods before.
Will nano beads be noticeable in my hair?
Nano beads are over 90% smaller than traditional microbeads, making them discreet and easy to style over, even in finer hair.
How many beads are typically used for fine hair?
The number of beads is tailored to your hair’s density and goals, and is always confirmed together during your consultation.
Maintenance
How often do I need a move-up appointment?
Move-ups are recommended every 6–8 weeks to keep your extensions looking their best as your natural hair grows.
Can I wash and style my hair normally?
Yes, with a few simple care habits we’ll walk you through at your appointment to help your extensions wear well between visits.
What products should I avoid?
We recommend avoiding heavy oils and conditioners directly at the root, and we’ll suggest suitable products at your appointment.
Pricing & Payment
How much do nano bead extensions cost?
Pricing is confirmed at your free consultation once we’ve seen your hair in person. A standard full-head move-up starts from approximately $270.
Do you offer Afterpay or ZipPay?
Yes, Afterpay and ZipPay are both available so you can spread the cost of your appointment.
Is the consultation really free?
Yes, completely. There’s no cost and no obligation to book anything afterwards.
Consultations
What happens at a consultation?
We’ll chat about your hair history and goals, then take a look at your hair in person and colour match if needed. It usually takes around 30 minutes.
Do I need to book a full appointment straight after?
Not at all. There’s no pressure to book anything on the day — take the time you need to decide.
Aftercare
How should I care for my extensions at home?
Gentle brushing, avoiding heavy products at the root, and sleeping with it in a loose braid all help your extensions wear well between visits.
Can I swim or exercise with nano beads in?
Yes, though we recommend tying your hair back and rinsing afterwards to help your extensions last as long as possible.
What if a bead slips or feels loose?
Get in touch and we’ll take a look — occasional adjustments between move-ups are completely normal.
