What are Invisible Bead Extensions (IBE)?

IBE® uses a unique bead and weft system that keeps extensions hidden, even when you wear your hair up. It provides a natural, comfortable, and damage-free solution for adding length and volume.

How long do hair extensions last?

IBE® extensions typically last 6-8 weeks between maintenance appointments, and the hair itself can be reused for 9-12 months with proper care.

Are hair extension consultations free?

Yes! Tropez Salon offers free hair extension consultations to discuss your goals and determine the best solution for your hair type.

Will extensions damage my hair?

IBE® extensions are designed to be damage-free. The unique installation method distributes weight evenly and doesn't use heat or glue, protecting your natural hair.
