Why Rolling Meadows Residents Choose Eleven11 Hair Studio for Extensions
Located right off Central Road, Eleven11 Hair Studio offers Illinois residents the perfect combination of world-class extension expertise and a sassy, welcoming vibe. Clients travel to us from Arlington Heights, Mount Prospect, and beyond because they know that blending extensions requires specialists who understand both the technical side (protecting your scalp) and the artistic side (making it look real).
We know you have options. But the scenic drive from your neighborhood to our salon is worth it because we don't just "put hair in." We craft a look. We fix the bad jobs. We educate you. When you sit in our chair, you aren't just a number; you are part of the Eleven11 family.
What Sets Our Extension Services Apart
The Invisible Bead Method
We don't mess around with old-school methods that show every time the wind blows. We specialize in hidden hair extensions, specifically the Natural Beaded Row (NBR) and hand-tied methods. This involves creating a track using beads and string with no glue, no heat, and no messy bonds. We stack wefts to create custom color dimensions and weightless volume. The result? You can pull your hair up into a high pony for a workout at the Nelson Sports Complex, and nobody will see a thing. It's seamless, comfortable, and looks 100% natural to the naked eye.
Custom Color and Blending Magicians
Putting extensions in is only half the battle. If the color doesn't match, it looks cheap. That's where we shine. Yvette and the team are experts at lived-in color and custom blending. We don't just grab a pack of hair off the shelf and hope for the best. We custom color the extensions and your natural hair to ensure a perfect marriage between the two. Whether you are a bright blonde or a dimensional brunette, we make sure the transition is undetectable.
Luxury Without the Attitude
We built Eleven11 to be a luxury salon without the stuffy, judgmental vibe you find in some high-end spots. We are sassy, fun, and warm. We want you to feel "care-free" the moment you walk in. We are a team of women who support women. We want to WOW you, educate you, and send you out the door feeling like a million bucks.
True Understanding of Illinois Hair Challenges
Living in the Midwest means your hair faces an identity crisis about every three months. We get it because we live here too. The humidity from our sticky summers can make extensions swell and slip if not installed correctly, while the dry, brutal cold near O'Hare in January can cause static and brittleness.
The humidity near the lakes and the dry heat from your furnace impact how extensions wear. Tape-ins often slide right out during a humid July heatwave. Bonds can crack in freezing temps. That is why we swear by the beaded row method. It is the most resilient method for our crazy Chicago-area weather. Our stylists understand exactly how to layer products to protect your investment, whether you are golfing at Arlington Lakes or shopping at Woodfield Mall.
Honest Assessments and Realistic Expectations
Here is the truth: Extensions are an investment. They are a luxury service. We promise to be 100% real with you about the cost, the maintenance, and what is actually possible for your hair type. We aren't going to sell you 24-inch hair if your natural hair is damaged and breaking at the chin. We care about the integrity of your scalp too much for that.
We will map out a plan. Maybe we start with a healing cut and some treatments before the install. Maybe we do fewer rows to start. We will walk you through the move-up schedule (usually every 6 to 8 weeks) and the cost of maintaining that "fresh out of the salon" look. No surprises, just honest girl-talk.
Patience to Do It Right, Not Just Fast
We are not a fast-food salon. Good hair takes time. A proper install involves meticulous sectioning to ensure there is zero tension on your hair follicles. We take our time to custom cut the extensions (Yvette is a razor-cut magician) so they layer perfectly with your natural hair. We blend, we check, we adjust. We prioritize the health of your hair over getting you out the door quickly.

Our Extension and Related Services
Every service at Eleven11 Hair Studio is crafted using professional-grade products and executed by stylists who specialize in transforming "meh" hair into beautiful, healthy-looking manes.
Natural Beaded Row (NBR) / Hand-Tied Extensions
Starting at Consultation Pricing | Duration: 3 to 5 Hours
This is our bread and butter. We use hand-tied wefts that are sewn onto a track created with silicone-lined beads. This method uses no heat and no glue, making it one of the safest methods for your natural hair. We can stack wefts to create custom color blends, mixing blondes and brunettes to get that perfect "lived-in" dimension.
What makes our Extensions exceptional?
We focus on the "invisible" aspect. When you flip your hair, the beads are hidden. The weight is distributed evenly across the head, so you don't get those heavy, painful spots. It is comfortable enough to sleep in and secure enough to live your active life.
Common Issues We Fix:
Thin, see-through ends
Hair that won't grow past a certain length
Lack of volume at the sides
Chemical haircuts (breakage from bleach)
Postpartum hair thinning
What's Included:
Custom Color Matching
The Installation
Blending Haircut (Razor or Scissor)
Styling (Beach Waves or Straight)
Home Care Lesson
Perfect For: Rolling Meadows residents who want luxury length and volume without the damage of glue or tape.
Lived-In Color and Blonding
Starting at $150+ | Duration: 3+ Hours
You can't have great extensions with bad color. Our team specializes in Foilayage, Balayage, and dimensional brunettes. We create soft, rooted looks that grow out seamlessly. This is crucial for extensions because it allows your natural hair and the extension hair to blend without a harsh line of demarcation.
What's Included:
Consultation

The Eleven11 Experience
Serving Rolling Meadows' Unique Community
Rolling Meadows isn't just a spot on the map; it's a community of hardworking professionals, moms, and go-getters.

Frequently Asked Questions for Rolling Meadows Extension Clients
How often do Rolling Meadows clients need to come in for extension maintenance?
For NBR and hand-tied wefts, we usually see you every 6 to 8 weeks at our Central Road studio. We move the beads up and ensure there is no tension on your natural hair as it grows out. Waiting too long can cause matting, so we pre-book these appointments to keep you on track. Since we are right here in Rolling Meadows, popping in for your move-up is easy and convenient.
Can I wear my hair up at the gym or at the Nelson Sports Complex?
Absolutely! That is the beauty of the invisible bead method. We place the rows specifically so you can wear a high pony or a messy bun without any tracks showing. Whether you are hitting the gym, running along the Salt Creek Trail, or heading to a summer event at the Rolling Meadows Community Center, your extensions stay hidden.
Will the extensions damage my natural hair?
When installed and maintained correctly, no. In fact, many of our Rolling Meadows clients find their natural hair grows better because they are using less heat on it (since the extensions hold style for days). We focus heavily on weight distribution to ensure your follicles aren't stressed. Our team monitors your scalp health at every move-up appointment.
How do I wash my hair with NBR extensions?
You don't need to wash your hair every day! We recommend washing 1 to 2 times a week. We will teach you how to wash in sections to keep the wefts clean and how to dry them thoroughly to prevent any scalp issues. We also send you home with a list of recommended products that work well with the water quality here in the Northwest suburbs.
Can I go swimming at the Rolling Meadows pools or Arlington Lakes with extensions?
We know we have great pools and the lake right nearby. You can absolutely swim, but you need to be smart about it. We suggest wetting your hair with fresh water and applying a leave-in conditioner before jumping in chlorine or salt water. Braid it tight to prevent tangling. This goes for the community pools, lake activities, and even hot tubs during those cold Illinois winters.
How much do hair extensions cost at Eleven11 Hair Studio in Rolling Meadows?
Extension pricing is customized to each client because every head of hair is different. Factors like the amount of hair needed, the number of rows, and whether color services are required all play a role. We start with a consultation at our Central Road location so we can give you an honest, no-surprise quote. We believe in full transparency so you know exactly what to expect before committing.
What's the best extension method for dealing with the Illinois humidity and cold winters?
We swear by the Natural Beaded Row method for our Midwest clients. Tape-ins tend to slide during our humid summers, and bonded extensions can crack in freezing temps. The bead and weft system holds strong through every season, whether you are bundled up walking through Woodfield Mall in January or enjoying a patio dinner in Rolling Meadows during July.
How do I book an extension consultation at your Rolling Meadows salon?
Booking is easy! You can schedule online here anytime or give us a call at (847) 812-1218 during business hours. We are located at 1910 Central Road in Rolling Meadows with plenty of free parking. During the consultation, we will assess your hair, discuss your goals, and give you honest advice on the best approach for your specific situation.
Is Eleven11 Hair Studio easy to get to from Arlington Heights and Schaumburg?
Very easy. We are a quick 10-minute drive from Arlington Heights via Northwest Hwy and about 12 minutes from Schaumburg via Roselle Rd. We sit right off Central Road with plenty of free parking, so you never have to deal with meters or garages. Clients from Palatine, Mount Prospect, Barrington, and Des Plaines also find us super accessible.
What if I had a bad extension experience somewhere else? Can you fix it?
That is actually one of the things we do best. Many of our Rolling Meadows and Northwest suburb clients come to us after a rough experience at another salon. Isa and Yvette specialize in corrective work. We will carefully remove the old extensions, assess any damage, and create a plan to get your hair healthy again before moving forward with a new install. We never rush this process because your hair health comes first.
Do you offer bridal or special event extension services for Rolling Meadows weddings?
Yes! We love helping brides and bridal parties get ready for their big day. Whether your wedding is at a venue in the Northwest suburbs or downtown Chicago, we can do a trial run at our Rolling Meadows studio and then handle the final install before your event. We recommend booking your consultation at least 3 months before the wedding date so we have plenty of time to perfect your look.
How long does a full extension installation take at Eleven11?
A full NBR or hand-tied installation typically takes between 3 to 5 hours at our Rolling Meadows location. We don't rush. That time includes custom color matching, the install itself, a blending haircut, and styling. We want you to walk out feeling absolutely incredible, and that takes patience and precision. We recommend blocking off your afternoon and treating it like a self-care day.
