Is my hair suitable for extensions?
This question can only be answered when we see your hair in person so we can assess the texture, length and quality. Most of the time the answer will be yes and we will discuss any limitations or compromises that need to be made at your consultation. The most common reasons for not being suitable are the length of your hair or if you suffer from hair loss or excessive thinning. However, budget restraints, lifestyle and expectations of what hair extensions can do can also be factors. All of this will be discussed in a comprehensive one hour consultation so we can explore all options available to you.

It is really important you look after your extensions when going on holiday, especially if you plan to go to a hot destination. The combination of strong sun, chlorine from the pool, sea water and the water abroad can leave your extensions dry and matted. To keep your hair in good condition you will just need to follow a few simple steps:
- If you plan to sunbathe cover your hair extensions with a hat or scarf to protect them from the sun
- Do not immerse your hair in pool or sea water
- Ensure you use a good conditioner and hair masks to keep your extensions hydrated
We will go through a more in depth aftercare plan for going on holiday at your fitting.
What will I need to purchase to keep my extensions in good condition?
All the hair extensions we fit are 100% human hair so you can style them as you would your own hair. To keep your hair extensions in the same condition as they were fitted it is strongly recommended that you purchase a salon quality shampoo, conditioner and hair mask. It is not recommended that a high street brand is used as this can dry out the extensions and cause colour changes. You will also need to buy a hair extension brush and a good quality aftercare products to keep the hair extensions hydrated.
How much will a maintenance appointment cost?
Maintenance appointments cost £50 per hour. The length of your appointment will depend on the number of extension you have in your hair, the method of extension you choose and most importantly how well you have looked after your extensions. Matting in the hair will take additional time to comb out and this will extend your appointment time. If excessive matting is found you may be asked to come back for an extended appointment.
