Transform your hair with hand tied extensions at Clean Beauty Boutique in New Lenox.
As the premier extension specialists serving New Lenox, Joliet, Mokena, Frankfort, and Manhattan, we specialize in creating undetectable, lightweight extensions that move and feel exactly like your natural hair.
Our certified stylists use advanced hand tied techniques to deliver stunning volume and length that blends seamlessly with your own hair.
Hand tied extensions represent the gold standard in modern hair extension technology. Unlike traditional methods that can feel heavy or appear bulky, hand tied wefts are incredibly lightweight, comfortable, and virtually invisible.
Whether you're looking to add volume to fine hair, achieve your dream length, or create dimensional fullness, hand tied extensions offer the most natural-looking solution available.
What Are Hand Tied Extensions?

The Beaded Row Application Method
At Clean Beauty Boutique, we apply hand tied extensions using the beaded row technique. This innovative method involves:
Creating Foundation Rows: We section your natural hair horizontally and use small, silicone-lined microbeads to create secure anchor points. These beads are carefully clamped to your natural hair, forming a stable base for the weft attachment.
Sewing the Weft: The hand tied weft is then sewn onto the beaded row using a secure thread technique. This creates a seamless connection that's flexible, comfortable, and allows your hair to move naturally in all directions.
Customized Placement: We strategically place multiple rows based on your hair density, desired volume, and styling preferences. Most clients have 2-4 rows of extensions, though this varies based on individual goals.
The beaded row method eliminates the need for heat, glue, or tape, making it one of the safest extension options available. The entire process is gentle on your natural hair while providing exceptional security and longevity.
Hand tied extensions, also called hand tied weft extensions or beaded weft extensions, are crafted by meticulously hand-sewing individual hair strands onto a thin, flexible weft.
This artisanal construction creates an ultra-thin, lightweight extension that lies completely flat against your scalp without any bulky tracks or adhesives.
The Hand Tied Construction Advantage
The hand tied method involves skilled artisans hand-knotting each hair strand onto a weft base, creating a paper-thin extension that's remarkably durable yet incredibly flexible.
This precise construction ensures the weft moves naturally with your hair, preventing the stiff, unnatural appearance common with machine-wefted extensions.
Each hand tied weft measures approximately one-eighth of an inch thick—thinner than most machine-made extensions.
This slim profile means the extensions remain invisible even in updos, ponytails, or when you part your hair differently.
The lightweight nature also reduces tension on your natural hair and scalp, making hand tied extensions ideal for clients with fine or thinning hair.
Why Choose Hand Tied Extensions?
Most Natural Look and Feel
Hand tied extensions are renowned for creating the most authentic, undetectable results in the industry. The thin wefts lay completely flat, eliminating any visible bumps or lines at your scalp. The extensions blend seamlessly with your natural hair texture, creating dimension and movement that's indistinguishable from biological growth. Even professional stylists often cannot detect properly applied hand tied extensions.
Lightweight Comfort for All-Day Wear
Traditional extension methods can feel heavy and cause discomfort or headaches. Hand tied extensions are exceptionally lightweight—most clients forget they're wearing them within days of application. The reduced weight means less stress on your hair follicles and scalp, allowing you to wear extensions comfortably for extended periods without strain.
Ideal for Fine or Thin Hair
If you have fine or thinning hair, hand tied extensions offer the perfect solution. The lightweight wefts don't overwhelm delicate strands, and the beaded application method distributes weight evenly to prevent damage. We can strategically place extensions to add volume exactly where you need it, creating the appearance of naturally thick, healthy hair.
Long-Lasting Investment
Our clients usually get 6 months out of the extension hair. We do not let clients wear old hair longer than that. The color fades and the length of the extensions shrink up.
We also offer Genius Wefts. Genius wefts are held together similar to hand-tied wefts, but a polymer is used instead of hand-tying. This allows us to cut the wefts without them unraveling and they also lay flatter to the scalp.
We do not highlight extensions. The hair would fry.
Pricing varies from client to client depending on the length of the hair, how much hair is needed, and how many rows are required.
Versatile Styling Options
Hand tied extensions don't limit your styling choices. You can:
Wear your hair up in ponytails, buns, and updos without visible tracks
Part your hair in any direction
Use heat styling tools safely
Color or highlight your extensions professionally
Swim and exercise with proper precautions
Sleep comfortably without special positioning
Gentle on Natural Hair
The beaded row method is one of the safest extension techniques available. Without heat, glue, or harsh adhesives, your natural hair remains healthy throughout the wear period. The even weight distribution prevents the breakage and damage sometimes associated with other extension methods.
Customizable for Your Unique Needs
Every hand tied extension application is fully customized. We tailor the number of rows, placement strategy, hair length, and color matching to your specific hair type, lifestyle, and aesthetic goals. Whether you want subtle volume, dramatic length, or targeted fullness in specific areas, we design a personalized approach that delivers your desired results.

Hand Tied Extension Care Guide
Daily Care Routine
Brush your extensions 2-3 times daily using a loop brush or soft-bristle extension brush. Start at the ends and work upward, holding hair at the mid-shaft to prevent tension on the beaded rows. Before bed, loosely secure hair in a low ponytail or braid to prevent tangling.
Washing Best Practices
Wash hair every 2-3 days maximum. Apply sulfate-free shampoo directly to scalp and roots, massaging gently. Let shampoo rinse naturally through the length.
Apply conditioner from mid-shaft to ends only, avoiding the beaded rows. Ensure all product is thoroughly rinsed to prevent buildup near attachment points.
Styling Best Practices
Hand tied extensions can be styled with heat tools using proper heat protectant. Keep hot tools away from beaded rows and wefts.
When creating ponytails or updos, ensure you're not placing tension directly on the rows. Sleep on a silk or satin pillowcase to reduce friction.
Products to Use and Avoid
Use: Sulfate-free shampoo, lightweight conditioner, leave-in treatment for ends, extension-safe heat protectant
Avoid: Heavy oils near roots, products with sulfates or alcohol, dry shampoo directly on beads
