One of our specialties at XEX is micro bead extensions. Our Chicago extensions specialists are highly skilled at properly applying micro bead extensions. The result is a beautiful, seamless look.
We use only 100% human hair for our micro bead extensions.
XEX’s extension specialists use a special tool to run your natural hair through the extension’s ring, then loop it toward the scalp while holding it in place. The extension is then attached to the ring where the natural hair is. When both the natural hair and the extensions are in place, a bead is clamped in place. This process is repeated until the extensions are complete.
Micro bead extensions require no heat or chemicals for application.
Your XEX extensions specialist will provide you specific care and maintenance instructions. You will need to have periodic maintenance appointments to ensure that your micro-bead extensions remain beautiful. When it’s time to remove your extensions, we will need to do so at XEX.
Are you looking to use hair extensions to add length, thickness, volume or color to your hair? XEX is Chicago’s premier hair extension salon specializing in fusion extensions.
Your first step when getting fusion hair extensions is to set up a consultation with XEX. We require a consultation so we can determine if your hair is suitable for fusion extensions. If your hair isn’t compatible with fusion extensions, there are other options available like tape-in hair extensions or clip-in hair extensions.
Once we’ve determined that your hair is suitable for extensions, we’ll order your hair and schedule your extensions application appointment. XEX uses 100% human hair for fusion extensions, providing the highest quality and finish.

How are the fusion extensions applied to my hair?
We use a low heat application method to fuse the extensions to a very small section of your natural hair. A keratinized protein bond is used to help the extensions look and feel great.
Can fusion hair extensions damage my natural hair?
Fusion hair extensions rarely cause damage to natural hair, but there is always a slight risk. It is important to use an experienced and well-trained extensions specialist, like those at XEX, when getting fusion extensions. When damage does occur, it is usually because clients leave their extensions in too long or do not have a professional remove them.
How long do fusion extensions last?
The life of fusion extensions varies depending on how long your natural hair grows. For most people, the fusion extensions last 4-6 months if you follow our care and maintenance guidelines

I have fine or thinning hair. Can I still get fusion hair extensions?
We don’t recommend fusion hair extensions for fine or thinning hair. Certain types of fusion extensions may work though.

Tape-in hair extensions or clip-in hair extensions may be more suitable for you if you have fine or thinning hair.
