What happens on hair extensions Consultation
We will discuss your best options, match colour shade and I will advise you of the best type of hair extensions that will suit your hair type and your lifestyle.
What are tape-in hair extension?
These are super speedy to apply, so you can get extensions in your lunch hour!
We can add single or double tapes to your hair to add volume, length or colour (balayage effects available!).
The medical grade tapes fit flat to your hair for undetectable results. Tape-in extensions will need to be removed every 6-8 weeks and can be reapplied with new tapes.
What are nano beads?
Nano beads are the perfect choice for fine hair. Hair is securely attached to a discrete bead that is smaller than a micro bead.
The aluminium beads are secured to your hair in small sections for a natural finish that is very low maintenance.
You’ll need your nano beads repositioned every 4-6 weeks. The hair is reusable and can last for months, depending on the hair and how well you have looked after your hair.
What are micro ring extensions?
Micro ring extensions are free-from adhesive, heat and solvent. They use small metal rings lined with silicone, which are clamped around your natural hair.
As your hair grows micro rings move away from the scalp and will therefore need to be re-positioned every 4-6 weeks
What are pre-bonded extensions?
Pre-bonded extensions are perfect for a natural look with minimal damage to your hair.
I’ll use hot or cold fusion techniques to attach extensions to individual strands of your hair. Ideal for all hair types , including fine hair.
These hair extensions last for months, do not need a maintenance and the hair is not reusable. Therefore this type of extensions are low maintenance and can be customised and apply to any type of hair.
Will I need a maintenance appointment for my hair extensions?
Absolutely! I’ll give you aftercare advice and your hair extensions fitting. All types of extensions will need a maintenance appointment after 4-6 weeks based on the growth of your hair.
At your maintenance appointment, I’ll check your hair is still in good condition and re-position bonded extensions. Tape-in extensions will need to be removed and you could have them replaced too.
I have my own hair. Will you fit it for me?
If you have already bought your own good quality hair extensions, I can fit these for an application fee.
Your hair is a walking advertisement for my business, so I can not fit poor quality hair.
