The ULTRA TIP method is one of the most discreet methods on the market. They are very safe for your natural hair and scalp. They are applied using Ultra locks. An ultra lock is placed into a small section of your hair and then an individual ultra tip strand of extension in placed inside before it is clamped closed, completely flat using pliers. No glue or heat required to secure this method into place. They are very straight-forward to apply, care for and remove. This will last you around 8 weeks before you will need a maintenance appointment to move them back up to the root using a new lock. The hair itself will last 9-12 months.
The MINI TIP method is one of the most popular methods on the market, it is just like ultra tips but slightly larger for those with thicker hair. They are very safe for your natural hair and scalp. They are applied using Mini locks. A mini lock is placed into a medium section of your hair and then an individual mini tip strand of extension in placed inside before it is clamped closed, using pliers. No glue or heat required making it super safe for your hair.
The tips of the extensions are memory tips so whilst they are clamped completely flat, they can be reused as the tips return back to their original shape. This will last you around 8 weeks before you will need a maintenance appointment to move them back up to the root using a new lock. The hair itself will last 9-12 months.
The CELEBRITY WEFT/NANO WEFT is becoming more popular now that people are over the idea of it being too heavy! People automatically associate weft with the old style braided weft, but this is far from it! The wefts we use are flat wefts meaning that they lie completely flat to your natural hair. A row of micro rings are attached to your hair in a pattern for maximum hold which are clamped into position and the track is then double stitched onto the to row. This method is very safe, fast and comfortable, it is Great if you want to add lots of volume! This method will last around 8 weeks before you need Maintenance but appointments are much faster than those who have beaded methods! The hair will last 9-12 months with the correct care.
The NANO TIPS are measured 90% smaller than the traditional micro ring and are very safe, discreet and comfortable for you to wear. Nano tips are like other beaded methods in the way they are applied however, due to the beads being so small, the tip of the extension has a small plastic/metal tip to go into the bead. The hair is sectioned and a small silicone lined nano lock is applied to the hair, the tiny metal/plastic tip is put into the tiny bead and clamped shut. These are very easy to apply and remove, silicone is for maximum hold with no slipping, great for greasy hair types. Hair will last 8 weeks before maintenance is needed and hair will last 9-12 months depending on aftercare.
TAPE Extensions are rapidly increasing in popularity. They are popular for their lightweight feel but full, volume look. They are applied like a 'sandwich' with a thin layer of your own natural hair in between. The tape is very strong to hold together however, can be easily removed with a removal solution with ZERO damage to your natural hair. You will need removal and retaping service every 6/8 weeks, This consists of old tape being removed, the extensions washed to remove any residue, dried, straightened and new tape applied ready to go back into your natural hair. This is done over two separate appointments which also allows your natural hair to be washed and residue to be removed. The actual hair will last 12 months.
FLAT TIP are the least popular method I offer due to heat being involved, people think it is damaging to your natural hair however, this is all a myth! If your hair is applied, removal, maintained and cared for correctly, they will do no more/ no less damage than other methods. It’s all about care when it comes to extensions, whichever method you have. The extensions come with a flat, square tip made up of the strangest keratin, this is melted with a special tool and then rolled onto the strand of natural hair that has been sectioned (the same as other bead methods). The keratin is rolled so that it can 'hug' onto your natural hair to hold in place. These will last 4-5 months however, after this time, they will need to be either re tipped (at a risk of the weight dropping due to shedding) or thrown away as the tips are crushed for removal and cannot be re used like this.
THE CONSULTATION
In order to go ahead with extensions we ALWAYS require a face to face consultation. There is no one method for everybody and so it’s very important to discuss this and for a professional to advise on what is best. We will need to assess your natural hair type, condition and scalp along with some simple questions to help us determine if and what extensions you require. This also allows us to explain aftercare and maintenance in depth with you, advise on products and also colour Match your hair. Prices are given at consultation as there are too many factors to take into consideration to offer a generic price list. Consultations are £15 and last around 30-40 minutes.
