Different Types Of Hair Extensions

Pre-Bonded Extensions:

These are made of several strands of hair bonded together at the tip with keratin glue. This method uses a heating wand that melts the glue to secure the extension to your own hair. The fusion method should keep your extensions in securely for 3 to 4 months, when properly maintained and cared for.

Pre-Taped Extensions: 

Our taped hair extensions are pre-taped which means they are relatively quick and easy to apply to your hair.  They come in a range colours, are available in 15cm, 30cm and 50cm lengths, and usually last 10-12 weeks, with care.  They can also be reapplied once they have grown out.

Please note: we do not hold any stock of extensions in the salon. They will be ordered after your consultation.
