Consultation
Please ensure that you come to your consultation with your hair the colour you are wanting your extensions.
After your consultation you must not cut, colour or change your hair before the fitting. As this may affect the fitting, there will be a charge for the appointment between £65-£90.
Deposits
A deposit non-refundable will be taken for each appointment booked. If ordering new hair the deposit will be between £100 - £300 depending on the amount of hair needed. For all maintenance appointments I will take a £10 deposit. All deposits go towards the final payment on the day of fitting or removal.
Cancellations
There will be a 50% charge for any cancelations within 24 hours of the appointment.
Pre-application
Wash your hair with clarifying shampoo to remove any product build up. It is important that you do not condition your hair as this can cause the extensions to slip once fitted. Make sure that your hair is straight ready for fitting.
Maintenance
Hair extensions must be maintained and checked every 6-8 weeks by your qualified hair extension technician. This is absolutely vital to ensure that no damage is done to your own hair or extensions. You may lose 10-15 strands within this time but these can be reused. Removal should be performed by a fully qualified technician.
To prepare your hair for your refit, wash your hair with a clarifying shampoo, do not use any conditioner and ensure that it is straight.
An extra £10-£15 per week charge will be added after this time. If extensions are matted, it may more than one appointment to fix this.
Washing, Heat and Sleep
Only use products recommended by your stylist, sulphate free, as some products can shorten the lifespan and quality of hair. I do no recommend most hair oils as these can cause the hair to bunch together and slip. Only use oils on the ends of your hair. If products recommended by myself are not solely used, then the quality and fitting of the hair will be compromised.
The the hair colour may fade and wear and tear may occur over time regardless of the aftercare. The hair quality is the responsibility of the original supplier and not the fitting specialist, and that all supplier procedures must be followed in the event of any issues with the hair extensions themselves. Any problems with the hair or fitting must be brought to the attention of the myself within 14 days of fitting.
Try not to wash hair extensions more than twice a week as this can cause extra stress to the extensions. When washing hair, do not rub the extensions but gently massage the recommend shampoo into the hair and rinse. Only apply conditioner from the middle to the ends of the hair and lightly press the moisture out of the extensions with a towel after washing. Take extra care when brushing when hair is wet. Heat appliances such as straighteners, hairdryers and curling tongues are fine to use but overuse can cause drying and breakage. Avoid the top of the extensions when applying any heat, as this can damage and melt the bonds.
Never let the hair air dry as this can cause matting and make the extensions difficult to brush. At night you must always style the hair in a loose plait or ponytail at night to avoid matting. Using a silk pillow case also helps reduce tangling.
Brushing and Separating
Always ensure you use a hair extension brush or a tangle teaser to prevent the extensions slipping. When brushing be gentle and hold the tops of the extensions whilst starting to brush any tangles from the bottom. Ensure you are separating the strands regularly at the root with your fingers to avoid any matting. Natural hair sheds every day so it is vital the bonds are separated so that matting does not occur between the extension and the natural hair.
Colouring Hair
I do not recommend you colour the extensions as drying may occur and the lifespan of the hair will be shortened. Using toners is acceptable but unnecessary processing may still dry out the extensions. Your own hair can be coloured whilst the extensions are in as long as the chemicals to not touch the tips or the bonds. I advise to on the have your T-section coloured if necessary.
Holidays, Swimming and Sun Beds
I do not recommend swimming whilst wearing hair extensions, although if you do, make sure that you plait the extensions and try to keep them dry. Using a deep conditioning if they do get wet with chlorine or salt water as these can dry out the extensions or cause them to become discoloured. This is not a fault with the hair, but the chemicals and minerals in the water. UV rays and dry out, fade or discolour extensions and break down bonds, so wrap the hair in a towel if you do use the sun bed.
