Each fitting is bespoke. Use this guide to understand the differences, then let us confirm the best match during your consultation.

01 / FOUR

Tape-in Hair Extensions

Tape hair extensions use slim, flat bonds that sit close to the scalp for a seamless, lightweight finish. They are a versatile choice for adding instant length, creating fullness through fine or medium hair, and introducing highlights or lowlights without colouring your natural hair.

  • Flat bonds for a discreet, natural blend
  • Ideal for volume, length and colour enhancement
  • Reusable with professional removal and re-taping
  • Maintenance usually every 6–8 weeks

Best for: fine to medium hair, fast transformations and a smooth finish.

Nano Tips & Micro Rings

Nano tip and micro ring hair extensions are fitted strand by strand using small, silicone-lined metal rings—without glue or heat. The individual placement allows natural movement, flexible styling and precise colour blending throughout the hair.

  • Nano rings are smaller and especially discreet
  • Individual strands move naturally with your hair
  • Excellent for balayage effects and tailored colour
  • Maintenance usually every 6–8 weeks

Best for: flexible styling, ponytails and highly customised placement.

LA Weave Hair Extensions

The LA Weave—also known as a braidless weave—uses small, silicone-lined micro beads to create secure rows. A luxury human hair weft is then sewn onto the rows, giving beautiful fullness without braids or glue.

  • Creates generous volume and length
  • Flat, secure and comfortable when correctly fitted
  • No glue, heat or braided foundation
  • Refitting usually every 6–8 weeks

Best for: medium to thick hair and clients who want maximum fullness.

Keratin Invisible Bonds

Keratin bond hair extensions are fitted strand by strand using tiny keratin tips that are carefully softened and shaped around the natural hair. Their small, individual bonds allow excellent movement and a highly customised blend.

  • Small bonds designed to sit discreetly in the hair
  • Precise placement and multi-tonal colour blending
  • Excellent freedom of movement and styling
  • Wear time is often around 3–4 months before professional removal

Best for: fine placement, natural movement and bespoke colour blends.

PROTECT YOUR INVESTMENT

Healthy hair starts with consistent aftercare.

Professional application is only half the story. Gentle brushing, the right products and keeping your maintenance appointments help protect both your natural hair and your extensions.

01Brush gently from the ends upward, supporting the bonds or weft.

02Keep oils, masks and conditioner away from tapes, rings and bonds.

03Always use heat protection and avoid excessive heat on attachment points.

04Sleep with dry hair in a loose braid or low ponytail to reduce tangling.

05Attend maintenance on time—never remove professional extensions yourself.

YOUR QUESTIONS, ANSWERED

Hair extension FAQs

Do hair extensions damage natural hair?

When the correct method and weight are selected, professionally fitted and maintained on schedule, extensions should not cause unnecessary damage. Suitability and aftercare are essential, which is why we require a consultation.

How long does extension hair last?

Our high-quality human hair can last approximately 9–12 months with correct care. Lifespan varies with heat use, products, lifestyle, colour and how regularly the hair is worn.

How much hair will I need?

A half head is often suitable for volume, while a full head is generally recommended for both length and volume. We will advise the correct amount after assessing your natural density and desired result.

Can I wear my extensions up?

Yes. The placement will be planned around how you usually style your hair. Individual nano or micro ring methods are particularly flexible, although the best choice depends on your hair.

Can extensions add colour without dye?

Yes. Lighter, darker or multi-tonal strands can create highlights, lowlights or balayage effects without applying colour directly to your natural hair.
