Length & volume

Hair extensions, quoted honestly

There is no shelf price for extensions and anyone who gives you one over the phone is guessing. The consultation is free, it takes half an hour, and you leave it knowing the method, the amount of hair and the number.

Why we will not price this over the phone

Three things set the cost of a fitting, and none of them can be judged down a phone line. How much hair you need — a bit of volume through the crown is a different job from adding eight inches all round. What your own hair can carry, which depends on its density and condition at the root, not on what you would like it to carry. And the colour match, which is where good extensions are separated from obvious ones.

So the consultation is free and it is a real appointment, not a sales chat. We look at your hair in daylight, talk about how you actually live — gym, pool, how you sleep, how much time you have in the morning — and only then talk about method and money.

Matching the colour is the whole game

Extension hair does not lift and tone the way your own does, so the match is made by choosing correctly rather than by correcting afterwards. If your hair is a blend of several tones, which almost everyone's is, the match needs more than one shade blended through. Getting this right is the difference between length nobody notices and a curtain that announces itself in every photograph.

If you are colouring as well, we do the colour first. Matching to hair you are about to change is how people end up with extensions that are perfect for a fortnight.

Living with them, and taking them out

Extensions are a maintenance commitment, and it is fairer to say that plainly before you spend the money than afterwards. They need brushing through properly, they need the bonds or wefts kept clean and dry at the root, and they need moving up as your own hair grows. Skipping that is what causes the horror stories people repeat about extensions damaging hair.

Removal is a published price — from $100 — and it is a proper, patient job. Do not let anyone rush it and do not try it at home with kitchen scissors, which is the one way to actually lose hair over this.

Where a price says “and up”, that is the starting figure for the service as listed — very long or very thick hair needs more product and more time. You are told the number at the chair, before anything is mixed or applied, not afterwards.

Before you book

Questions we get asked

Anything not answered here — call the salon and ask. Someone who does this every day will pick up.

How much do hair extensions cost?
The fitting is quoted at the consultation, which is free and takes about half an hour. The price depends on how much hair you need, your own hair's density and condition, and the colour match. Removal is a fixed published price, from $100.
Why is there no price on the website?
Because any number we published would be wrong for most people who read it. Extensions are priced by the amount of hair used, and that varies enormously between a volume top-up and a full head of added length. We would rather quote you accurately in person than advertise a figure that changes the moment you sit down.
Will extensions damage my hair?
Fitted to hair that can carry them, maintained properly and removed by someone who is not rushing, no. Damage comes from three places: too much weight for the hair at the root, leaving them in long past the move-up date, and bad removal. All three are avoidable, and the consultation exists partly to check the first one.
How long do they last?
It depends on the method chosen at the consultation and on how fast your own hair grows. Every method needs moving up as the hair grows out, and we will tell you the interval for yours before you commit to anything.
Can I colour my extensions?
Not the way you colour your own hair. Plan the colour first and match the extensions to the finished result — that is why we ask about your colour plans at the consultation.
