Hair Extensions Example
Client profile: The client pictured described their history of experiencing hair loss whilst also becoming frustrated by their lack of volume and length. The number of different shades in the hair from historical home hair colouring meant that finding a true colour was going to be challenging. By selecting two colours, this helped to present the illusion of highlighted hair whilst blending the extensions in with the natural hair to resemble two different shades in highlighted form.

After
What does it mean?
- Hair Extensions: Hair extension methods can seem overwhelming. After all, there are so many options! The best method of applying extensions can usually be attributed to lifestyle and budget. Some methods have more obvious upsides whereas others have more obvious downsides. In this example we used nano rings which are famed for how discreet they are. They are much smaller than other methods, so given the client profile (box coloured hair and experiencing some hair loss), this option was favoured to help blend the extensions in much more seamlessly.
- Colours: A huge upside to all hair extension methods is that you likely won’t be short of colour options. This extends most brands too so no-matter your eventual choice of brand, salon or application, the colour most likely won’t be the defining decision-making factor. In more recent times, hair extensions are much more sophisticated allowing for multiple colours in highlighting form, balayage form or just one colour.
- Lifespan: The warranty behind hair extensions is favourable. They vary from three months to six months on average, however if well looked after, there is no reason why they can’t last for longer. In our experience, clients can stretch extensions for as long as 18 months, however more commonly 12 months is the ideal range to aim for if well maintained.
- Follow-up Appointments: Nano rings are very similar to taped extensions insofar as they will at some stage need to be removed and reapplied. The process for removal is usually the three month mark. Once removed, they are looked after within the salon and reattached usually the following day. Why? Hair typically grows at a rate of roughly half-an-inch every month. When originally applied nano rings are discreet due to their type of application. At the three month mark it’s likely that the attachments will become more visible, so removing and reapplying is sensible. The upside is that you don’t need to pay for the extensions twice!
Hair Extension FAQ's
What are Hair extensions?
Hair extensions are typically natural virgin hair that is applied to your existing hair to add length, volume, or both. Hair extensions come in various types, textures, and colours, with blondes typically more expensive than darker shades due to the cost of sourcing and availability.
How do hair extensions work?
It depends on the method of application. Hair extensions are typically attached close to the root using tapes, clips, bonds, or rings. Different methods carry benefits and drawbacks.
Why Hair Extensions?
For many hair extensions offer a quick and easy way to radically change your hair by introducing length and/or volume. They also allow you to experiment with colours with more experienced hair extension specialists able to blend extensions as highlights or balayage form. For others, hair loss, thinning or self confidence, hair extensions can introduce hair more strategically.
Why are hair extensions so popular?
Hair extensions are fairly sophisticated in their quality, discreet application and ease of maintaining. For this reason, most people are adjust with relative ease when wearing hair extensions.
What is the difference between taped extensions and nano rings?
The quality of hair is usually identical. The difference is how they attach to your existing virgin hair. Tape-in hair extensions are arguably slightly better for the hair longer term, however are less discreet. They can be more noticeable in certain scenarios, although if well looked after this typically isn’t so much of an issue. Nano rings are marginally more cost effective, however longer term use (over a number of years) is not ideal. That being said, if nano rings are to be used inconsistently and/or over a 12 month period then they can be a great option.
What do taped hair extensions cost?
The cost of hair extensions is dependent on a number of factors; namely what you hope to achieve, colour, type of application (nano rings or tape ins), stylist, location and salon. Asa rule of thumb, a budget of £500 to include the cost of extensions and application isn’t unreasonable.

Your Questions,
Answered.
Maintenance is generally considered better than hair colour. For some context, highlights are usually applied six times annually.
Depending on the method, 3-4 months is usually the average. Most methods allow you to recycle the hair, meaning the cost is usually the extensions being removed and subsequently refitted.
The extensions themselves bear most of the cost.
Hair extension salons generally don’t charge for the extensions, rather we pass on the direct cost. Our charges are for fitting only.
So long as they are taken care of, the introduction of hair extensions is fairly straightforward.
A lot will depend on getting used to longer and thicker hair.
Most hair extension salons won’t stock the extensions. For this reason a lot of stock is ordered in specifically for your appointment so expect a 48 hour turnaround.
Typically orders for extensions are non-refundable therefore we will ask for the cost of the extensions to be paid before any booking.
Whether you opt for tape ins, nano rings or something else, we will colour match your hair to ensure the right colour is ordered and applied to your hair.
