Finalist Hair Extenstion Artist for 2025
Does Any Of This Sound Familiar?
You spend ages styling your hair, only for it to fall flat a few hours later.
Your ponytail looks half the size you wish it did.
You avoid wearing your hair up because it feels too fine.
You curl your hair and wonder why it never gives that soft, full finish you were hoping for.
Your hair feels fine through the mid-lengths and ends, no matter how much product you use.
You know the look you want, but it feels like your hair never quite gets there.
If you're nodding along, you're not alone.
Many women aren't struggling with styling.
They simply don't have enough density through the lengths to achieve the result they're trying to create.
That's where the right hair enhancement solution can make all the difference.
Why Doesn't My Hair Ever Look Like That?
Have you ever curled your hair, added volume spray, followed the tutorials and still wondered why your hair never looks quite like the photos you've saved?
You're not imagining it.
The truth is, some hairstyles require a certain amount of hair density to create the shape, fullness and movement you're seeing.
That's why two women can use the same products, the same styling tools and follow the same tutorial, yet achieve completely different results.
It isn't always about technique.
It's often about how much hair there is to work with.
The amount of hair through your ponytail, braid, mid-lengths and ends plays a huge role in:
✔ How full your styles look
✔ How long volume lasts
✔ How thick your ponytail feels
✔ How much movement your hair has
✔ How closely you can achieve the looks you save online
At Simply Hair, we help women create the density needed to achieve the styles they love through tailored hair enhancement solutions designed around their hair, lifestyle and goals.
Because sometimes the missing piece isn't another product.
It's having more hair to work with.
Not Every Hair Concern Needs The Same Solution
One of the biggest misconceptions we see is women assuming all hair concerns can be solved with the same service.
The reality is that the right solution depends entirely on where you're experiencing a lack of density.
Hair Extensions May Be Right For You If:
✔ Your ponytail feels thinner than it used to
✔ Your hair lacks fullness through the mid-lengths and ends
✔ Your styles fall flat quickly
✔ Your braid never looks as full as you'd like
✔ You struggle to achieve the volume and shape you want
✔ You feel like you don't have enough hair to create certain styles
Hair extensions are designed to add density, fullness and styling versatility through the lengths of your hair.
Hair Extensions May NOT Be The Right Solution If:
✔ You can see more scalp than you'd like
✔ Your parting appears wider than it used to
✔ You're experiencing thinning around the crown
✔ You're concerned about loss of density on top of the head
In these cases, traditional extensions may not address the root concern.
That's why we're excited to be introducing Mesh Integration in Autumn 2026 — a specialist solution designed specifically for women experiencing thinning through the crown and top sections.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much do extensions cost at Simply Hair?
Because every woman’s hair goals, natural density, and colour are unique, we provide fully bespoke quotes after your consultation. However, to help you feel clear and confident before booking, here’s a general guide:
✨ Subtle volume: from £140–£240
✨ Length + volume: from £775–£850
✨ Maintenance appointments start from £80 per hour depending on the method and time required.
These prices include your expert fitting, premium-quality hair, and full aftercare advice.
Your consultation ensures we match the right method and amount to your goals, so you know exactly what to expect — no surprises, just stunning results.
Do I need a haircut or reshape on top of my fitting cost?
No — your extension fitting already includes a blend and reshape to ensure your new hair looks seamless and styled from day one.
If you’d like additional styling or a full haircut as part of your appointment, we’ll talk you through the options — but most clients don’t need this.
How often will I need maintenance, and what does it include?
This depends on your chosen method:
-
Tape Extensions: every 6–8 weeks
-
Nano or I-Tip Extensions: every 10–12 weeks
Your maintenance appointment includes removal, refitting, and a refresh of your shape and finish. We’ll personalise your maintenance schedule to your hair and lifestyle during your consultation. We have a hair extension membership which spreads the cost of maintenance appointments, find out more about our memberships

Is the hair real / human hair?
Yes, we only use 100% human Remy hair extensions for all of our services.
That means the cuticle is intact and aligned in the same direction, giving you a natural look, a smooth feel, and a finish that blends effortlessly with your own hair.
✅ They can be curled, straightened, styled with heat, and washed just like your natural hair.
✅ We choose ethically sourced, salon-grade hair that’s soft, strong and long-lasting — because when you invest in your hair, it should feel worth it.
Do you offer curly hair extensions?
We love curls — and we’re actively looking for the right curly extension range to offer our clients.
At the moment, we don’t stock pre-curled or textured extension hair simply because we haven’t yet found a supplier that meets our premium quality and ethical sourcing standards.
✨ But don’t worry, we’re on it!
If you’re looking for curly extensions, let us know — and we’ll keep you updated as soon as we have an option that truly honours your hair type.
What happens to my hair extensions after my appointment?
Following your appointment, we will discuss the best next step for any unused extension hair.
If your extension packets remain completely unopened and sealed, they may be eligible for return to our supplier within 48 hours. Please let your stylist know as soon as possible if you would prefer this option.
Any opened or customised extension hair cannot be returned to the supplier. For your convenience, we are happy to securely store unused hair extensions in a sealed, labelled container for up to 6 months.
If you would like your stored extensions returned to you, please email
appointments@simplyhairchelmsford.co.uk with a minimum of 48 hours’ notice so we can ensure they are prepared and ready for collection.
As extensions are stored securely and may only be accessed by your stylist, we cannot guarantee same-day retrieval requests, particularly if your stylist is not in the salon.
Still have questions?
No problem lovely — you can fill in our Online Consultation Form and we’ll talk you through what’s right for you.
