Keratin bonds are individual strands heat-fused to your hair; tape-ins are pre-taped wefts applied close to the root. Different methods for different hair types and lifestyles — we help you choose at your free consultation.

Keratin bonds — small individual bonds are less visible on fine hair and distribute weight evenly.

Keratin bonds last 3–6 months before refit. Tape-ins are maintained every 6–8 weeks but the hair itself can be reused for 9–12 months.

Keratin bonds work for shorter hair because each bond is so small. Tape-ins require enough hair to hide the panels.

Yes, after your hair recovers from the previous method (4–8 weeks). We assess at consultation.

Nano rings are similar to tape-ins — small wefts attached with a tiny ring rather than adhesive. We don't currently fit nano rings but can refer you to a specialist.

A half head covers the back and sides (good for volume and subtle length). A full head covers the entire head including the top and crown (best for major length changes).

Keratin bond extensions typically last 9 - 18 months with proper aftercare. We recommend a maintenance appointment every 3 months to keep them looking their best and to protect your natural hair.

We recommend colouring before application. After that, your stylist can colour your natural hair without touching the bonds.

When correctly applied and matched, bonds are very small and discreet — most people cannot tell you have them.

Brush from mid-lengths down, use sulphate-free products, avoid heavy oils near the bonds, and book maintenance as advised.

Tape-in extensions need moving up every 6–8 weeks as your natural hair grows. The wefts themselves are reusable for up to 3 applications with proper care, making them a cost-effective long-term option.

Yes — we remove, re-tape, and reapply the same hair each maintenance visit. Quality hair can last through several refits.

No. Modern tape-ins are very lightweight and lie flat against the head, making them comfortable for everyday wear.

Yes, but avoid conditioner on the bonds and brush gently from mid-lengths down. We give full aftercare at your appointment.

We recommend sulphate-free shampoo, a leave-in conditioner, and a heat protectant before styling. Brush gently from roots to tips using a loop brush, and avoid applying oils or conditioners directly to the bonds or tape attachments.

Every 2–3 days with sulphate-free shampoo. Avoid conditioner near the bonds or tape panels. We give you a written aftercare guide at your appointment.

Yes, rinse with fresh water immediately after swimming, and use a leave-in conditioner from mid-lengths down.

Your natural hair can be coloured. The extension hair cannot be lightened. For highlights, colour your natural hair before application.

Tape-ins: every 6–8 weeks. Keratin bonds: removal and refit at 3–6 months. Don't leave it longer or the extensions can mat and damage your natural hair.

When applied and maintained by a certified specialist, no. The biggest cause of damage is poor application or skipping maintenance appointments — we assess your hair beforehand and won't fit if extensions aren't suitable.

Yes, but the method depends on your hair texture. Tape-ins can work well for tightly-coiled hair; we'll advise at consultation.

Yes — many clients fit extensions during pregnancy for the confidence boost. Tape-ins are usually preferred because they're easier to remove quickly if needed.

Possibly. Tape-ins are usually gentler on sensitive scalps. We'll assess at consultation.

Ideally 4 inches (10cm) — enough to attach bonds or tape without showing the join. Shorter hair can sometimes work with keratin bonds.

Yes, many of our clients are 16–25 booking for prom, graduation, 21st birthdays. Tape-ins are popular for one-off events.

Yes — both methods can be professionally removed within 24–48 hours if needed. Tape-ins are quickest to remove.
