  • Do you refit hair applied elsewhere?
    Yes, we can refit hair that was originally applied elsewhere! To make sure we can achieve the best results, we often recommend a virtual or in-person consultation to assess the method, quality, and color match of your existing hair. The hair needs to be of good quality, the right color match, and enough to achieve your desired look. While we’re happy to take over refitting, please note that we don’t take responsibility for hair quality applied by other salons. Our priority is to ensure every fitting looks lush and lives up to our standards, so we’ll only proceed if we can deliver top-quality results you’ll love! Please note, if you are not using our hair and consultation process, we do not provide method suggestions, colour recommendations, or advice on lengths and quantities—this is offered exclusively as a professional service. While we’re happy to take over refitting, we won’t take responsibility for hair quality from other sources, as our focus is on delivering the best, lush-looking results we can confidently stand behind!
  • How do I know which type of hair extensions are right for me?
    During your consultation, we’ll chat about your hair type, lifestyle, and styling goals. I’ll guide you through the best options and recommend what’s right for you, whether you’re looking for volume, length, or both. Every fitting is tailored, so you’ll leave with extensions that look natural, feel comfortable, and fit your personal style. With every new fitting, the first step is to book a consultation. You will get all of the information you need to proceed on that appointment, we will message you after with all of the options and prices for you to consider and decide what options you want to go ahead with.
  • Can I style my extensions like my natural hair?
    Absolutely! My extensions are designed to handle heat styling, so you can curl, straighten, or style them just like your own hair. I’ll discuss styling tips during your appointment to help you keep your extensions looking gorgeous without causing damage.
  • How do I book an appointment?
    You can easily book an appointment online through our website, or feel free to contact us directly if you’d like help finding the right time.

  • What types of hair extensions do you offer?
    I offer a range of extension methods, including nano beads, tiny locks, tape extensions, and a selection of weaves and hidden weaves, with options for all hair types. As a fine hair specialist, I’m thrilled to offer the smallest, most discreet weaves designed specifically for super fine hair—these are incredibly popular and make extensions possible for even the finest hair types. While it may seem like a lot of options, I make it easy by assessing your hair, discussing your lifestyle, and working within your budget to present the best recommendations and price options just for you.
  • Will hair extensions damage my natural hair?
    When fitted and cared for properly, extensions should not damage your natural hair. We are highly trained in safe, gentle fitting techniques and will show you how to care for your extensions and natural hair. Our salon has high standards and we will always check on your hair if your ever concerned. we will educate you on how to look after it and with regular refits we will always ensure the best and safest fittings possible. Our goal is to keep your hair healthy and strong while you enjoy your extensions.
  • Will my extensions be noticeable?
    Not at all! My techniques are designed to blend your extensions seamlessly with your natural hair. I’ll choose the best color match and fitting method to ensure they look completely natural. Most of my clients say they feel like it’s their own hair, just enhanced!
  • How much will hair extensions cost?
    It’s hard to say for sure until we meet for a consultation, as pricing depends on your hair type, desired length, and volume. While there’s a detailed price guide on our website, I know it can be a bit overwhelming if you’re not sure what you need. That’s why we insist on a consultation—to walk you through all the options, discuss your lifestyle and budget, and help you find the perfect fit. I believe in full transparency, so you’ll get clear, straightforward pricing with no hidden costs, along with options that work for you.
  • Can I style my extensions like my natural hair?
    Absolutely! Our extensions are designed to handle heat styling (as long as a heat protection is used), so you can curl, straighten, or style them just like your own hair. I’ll discuss styling tips during your appointment to help you keep your extensions looking gorgeous without causing damage. Keep your heated tools to 180 degrees to keep the hair lush for longer.
  • What happens if I snap a thread, lose a few bonds, or have tapes come out?
    Don’t worry, these things can happen! If you notice a snapped thread, a few bonds falling out, or loose tapes, just reach out to us. For any issues within our 2-week tweak guarantee, we’ll happily fix it at no extra charge to keep everything secure and looking lush. After that period, you can book a quick maintenance appointment if needed. We recommend supporting your extensions when brushing or styling and being mindful of heat on tapes and bonds to help them last. Rest assured, we’re here to keep your hair looking and feeling fabulous!
  • What happens to my natural hair underneath the system?
    Your natural hair will continue to grow as usual while wearing the system. Hair sheds naturally (about 50-100 hairs a day), and any shedding hair stays under the system until your next refit, where we’ll gently remove any excess. Hair won’t grow if the follicles are dormant, but otherwise, you’ll see healthy growth.
  • How is the system attached?
    For mesh systems, we create a custom-fit base using a breathable mesh, securely attached with tiny beads and styled to blend with your natural hair. For mesh-free systems, we map out aand create a track to anchor the hair usings special attachments without a mesh base, giving you a secure and natural look.
  • How will I know which system or mesh is best for me?
    During your consultation, I’ll do a thorough assessment to understand what’s best for you. I’ll go over all your options, explaining my recommendations based on what’s ideal for your scalp health, hair integrity, and lifestyle. After your appointment, I’ll usually follow up with a message to confirm everything so you have time to consider your options. With hair loss solutions, it’s never a one-size-fits-all approach. I’m highly trained in several methods and have adapted my own techniques to make sure you get the right fit. My goal is to educate you on what works best for your hair, so I’ll walk you through each option, answer any questions, and make the process as smooth and stress-free as possible. Rest assured, I’d never recommend anything that I don’t fully believe will give you the best results. You can be confident in my expertise, and I encourage you to check out my reviews to see the results my clients have experienced.
  • What’s the difference between Hair Top, Half, and Full Mesh Integration?
    Each system is customised to your needs: Hair Top: Covers the top/parting area, ideal for thinning or minor hair loss. Half Head Mesh Integration: Adds extra rows for more volume throughout. Full Mesh Integration: Covers the full head for a complete transformation in length and thickness.
  • What is the process and how long will it take?
    The initial consultation lasts 15-30 minutes, where we’ll go over everything: options, prices, colours, and your desired look. We’ll also take measurements to create a perfect base. The fitting itself takes 2-4 hours, depending on complexity, and we’ve got TV shows, Netflix, and refreshments to keep you comfy.
  • What’s the difference between a Lace Base and Silk Base, and which is best for me?
    The choice between a lace base and a silk base depends on your preferences, desired look, and budget. We’ll assess which option suits you best during your consultation, as each has unique benefits: Classic Lace Base Offers excellent breathability, keeping things light and comfortable. Sits close to the scalp, providing a natural look that molds easily to your head shape. Lightweight and sheer, it blends well with your natural scalp and skin tone. Luxe Silk Base Known for its realistic scalp appearance, making it ideal for those seeking a completely natural look. Smooth, comfortable material that provides extra durability.

  • Will my appointment be private?
    Yes, we understand the sensitive nature of hair loss. All consultations and appointments are private and one-on-one in our private room. For your fittings, there is a privacy partition that separates the rest of the salon so we are out of view. Please, always as if theres anything we can do to make you more comfortable.
  • How do I wash and care for my system?
    The system is securely attached, so you can wash and style it just like natural hair. We’ll provide specific aftercare guidance and recommend products to keep your system looking and feeling great. Specialist products are available in the salon and we recommend that you use them, for the best aftercare and longer lasting systems.
  • Do I need to have a fringe ?
    No, While the system provides volume to the parting area and can be worn in various styles, a fringe or sweeping side fringe gives the most natural results. we will discuss with you how you'd like it, and if you can bring inspiration photos so we can work out whats best for your chosen style.
  • Will I be able to style my hair normally with a system?
    Absolutely! Our hair loss systems are designed with flexibility in mind, so you can style your hair as you would naturally.

Plus, I can offer tips on the best styling methods and products to keep everything looking beautiful.
  • How long will my system last?
    With regular maintenance, systems can last up to 2 years. The Hair Top closure may need occasional replacement to keep it looking full, which we’ll address during maintenance.
  • How do I know my hair and scalp will stay healthy with a hair loss system?
    Your hair and scalp health are my top priorities. I’m very selective about the products and methods I use, always choosing those that promote healthy hair growth and protect the scalp. My training and experience allow me to adapt the systems to suit different hair types, ensuring they’re safe, comfortable, and sustainable long-term.
  • Will the system be comfortable?
    It might feel snug at first, but after a few days, it will settle, and you’ll hardly notice it’s there. Allow yourself two weeks to adjust, and you’ll soon see how natural it looks and comfortable it feels. we call this the 'settling in' period.
  • How often will I need maintenance?
    Maintenance appointments are every 4-6 weeks to keep the system secure and comfortable. For Hair Top Systems: A Full refit is done each time, we will brush out any shedding and reapply - a scalp cleanse can also be added to your appointment. For Mesh Systems: A re-alignment is done every 4-6 weeks. A full refit is recommended every 12-16 weeks, with washing and blow-drying included.
  • How much will it cost?
    Pricing depends on the type of system, quality of hair, and level of customisation. We’ll discuss options in your consultation to suit your budget, and you can find pricing details on our website : Hair Loss Page.
  • Will the mesh be visible?
    No, the mesh or hair top system is hidden by your hair and is designed to blend seamlessly. We have years of experience and we know how to conceal these systems to make the undetectable. We will give you syling advice to help you keep it looking fabulous too, We use techniques like our ‘invisible edge’ method which we developed and teach globally, for a natural-looking parting or fringe, allowing multiple styling options
  • Can I add extensions for extra length and thickness?
    Absolutely! Additional rows of weft hair can be added to enhance thickness and volume throughout. We’ll discuss your desired look and options in your consultation.
