  • What are Natural Beaded Rows Hair Extensions?
    Natural Beaded Rows (NBR) Hair Extensions are an exclusive hair extension technique created and taught by Danielle K. White of DKW Styling. Kim Phillips is one of only two Natural Beaded Rows Certified Stylists in Connecticut. NBR extensions are the best way to achieve the naturally looking, full, and gorgeous hair you’ve always dreamed of! The hair extensions are placed in full rows in the hair using a “track” made with an exclusive bead and string technique. Wefts, a line of hair, are sewn into the track and blend seamlessly into your natural hair. The NBR extensions are custom cut, colored, and styled to reach your hair goals!
  • How much do NBR extensions cost?
    Most first time clients receiving Natural Beaded Rows hair extensions at Kim Phillips Styling can expect to invest between $800.00 - $1,500.00. This investment includes 100% human Remy hair, seamless custom color, application, cut, and styling. Initial investment pricing varies based on the number of “rows” installed, color changes of your current hair, and your desired goal. Your NBR extensions are intended to last 4-6 months with proper care and upkeep. A standard re-tightening is suggested every 6-8 weeks and ranges from $300-$500 dependent on the number of “rows” installed and coloring needs.

  • What’s the difference between NBR extensions and tape ins?
    Natural Beaded Rows extensions are the exclusive hair extension method that causes little to NO damage to your natural hair, are comfortable and lightweight, and are not visible, unlike tape in extensions. Tape in extensions require much more maintenance, come with many restrictions, and are notorious for the tape showing through with even the slightest movement. NBR extensions do not involve any tape or glue and have minimal points of contact with your natural hair, ensuring no damage and keeping your natural hair healthy! NBR extensions are extremely easy to hide- even with your hair in a ponytail. Your daily lifestyle and activities will not be limited by NBR extensions. You can swim, work out, style your hair as you would with natural hair without having to stress about your extensions showing or being damaged.
