Experience one of the most discreet and natural-looking extension techniques available with our Microbead / Microlink / Microring Installation Service, performed by our expert extension specialists at IMH Studio in Sitio de Calahonda (Mijas Costa), near Marbella. This method is ideal for clients who want strand-by-strand precision, maximum movement, and a finish that blends flawlessly with their natural hair.
At IMH, we specialize exclusively in advanced hair extension techniques, and microbeads—and their ultra-fine version, nano rings—remain among the most popular choices for clients wanting a secure, flexible, and heat-free installation.
Your Personalized Consultation & Hair Matching Process
Every transformation begins with a private, personalized consultation, where we study your natural hair, texture, density, and lifestyle goals. This ensures the extensions not only look perfect on installation day but also remain comfortable, safe, and durable over time.
During this consultation, we carefully perform:
1. Color Matching
We identify the exact tones in your natural hair, including highlights, lowlights, and undertones. This allows us to prepare or order the correct shades in advance, ensuring a seamless blend.
2. Texture Matching
We analyze whether your natural hair is straight, wavy, coily, or somewhere in between. Matching texture is essential for invisible results and long-lasting wear.
3. Volume & Length Planning
Based on your hair density, we determine the number of strands and placement pattern needed to achieve the look you want—subtle enhancement or full glam volume.
4. Preparation of the Hair Extensions
Once all matches are confirmed, your hair extensions are prepared for the installation day so the process is efficient, organized, and tailored precisely to you.
This step is what makes IMH results so flawless—your hair is fully prepared before your appointment even begins.

About the Microbead / Microlink Technique
Microbead extensions are attached strand by strand using a tiny silicone-lined bead. Your natural hair is gently threaded through the bead, combined with a premium extension strand, and then secured with careful pressure.
This method offers:
✔️ No heat, no glue, no chemicals
Perfect for clients wanting a protective installation option.
✔️ Flexibility and natural movement
Each strand moves independently, allowing the hair to fall and sway naturally.
✔️ Discreet and low-visibility bonds
Microbeads stay hidden inside the hair and lay flat for sleek styling—including ponytails.
✔️ Reusable hair
High-quality extension strands can often be reused for future maintenance installations when cared for properly.
Nano Rings: The Ultra-Fine Alternative
For clients with fine, delicate, or low-density hair, we also offer Nano Ring extensions. Nano rings are up to 90% smaller than traditional microbeads, making them extremely discreet and almost invisible even in very fine hair.
They offer the same benefits as microbeads but with an even more delicate attachment point.
Your IMH stylist will help you choose microbeads or nano rings depending on your hair type and desired result.
What to Expect During Your Installation
On the day of your appointment, your hair will already be matched, prepped, and ready. The installation process typically includes:
• Sectioning with precision
We map out the placement pattern based on your unique hair density.
• Strand-by-strand attachment
Each extension is placed meticulously using a silicone bead or nano ring.
• Blending and finishing
Once installed, we trim and blend for a smooth, seamless flow that looks and feels like your own hair.
The entire process usually takes between 2 to 3 hours, depending on the number of strands required and the chosen method.
How Long Microbead Extensions Last
With proper care, microbead and nano ring installations can last up to 12 weeks before needing a move-up. The extensions themselves can often be reused, making this method a long-term, high-value option.

FAQ
What are microbead hair extensions?
Microbead hair extensions, also known as micro-loop or micro-ring extensions, are a type of hair enhancement that involves attaching small bundles of hair extensions to natural hair using tiny, silicone-lined beads or rings. The process does not require heat or glue, making it a less damaging option compared to some other methods.
Here's how it works: Small sections of natural hair are threaded through the microbeads, and then the extension strands are added into these beads. The beads are then clamped down using special pliers to secure the extensions to the natural hair.
This method allows for a secure hold while offering flexibility and movement that mimics natural hair.
How much is the microbead hair extensions installation?
It ranges from 160 euros for a quarter of a head to 400 euros for a full head. The results are versitile and seamless, nobody will detect your new extensions!
How long does it take a microbead hair extensions installation?
It is a lengthy process that can range from 2 hours for a quarter head to 6 hours or more for a full head.
Do you match the color and the pattern of my hair?
Absolutely! During your complimentary hair extensions consultation, we'll carefully assess your hair to ensure a perfect match in color and pattern for the extensions. This way, they'll blend seamlessly with your natural hair during the installation.
Plus, the best part is that this personalized matching service is included in the overall price!
