So you’ve been thinking about it…
You’ve seen the transformations. You’ve saved the before-and-afters. You’ve wondered what it would be like to finally have the fuller, styled hair you’ve always wanted.
But there’s still that one thought:
“What actually happens during a hair extension appointment?”
Let’s walk you through it, step-by-step, so you can stop guessing, and start getting excited.
The Consultation
This is where everything starts.
We ask about your hair history, your lifestyle, how you normally style your hair and most importantly, how you want your hair to feel.
Then we:
Colour match you with precision
Recommend the perfect method (Tape, I-Tips or Nanos)
Map how many grams of hair you'll need to reach your goal
Answer all your questions with honesty, no pressure
We’re not here to “sell” you more hair, we’re here to create the right result.
Transformation Day: Your Fitting Appointment
This is the magic moment and it’s more relaxing than you might think.
✨ You’ll arrive to a calm salon space
✨ We’ll prep your natural hair (trim, shape or clarify if needed)
✨ Then, strand-by-strand, we begin your personalised extension placement
Every bond is:
Lightweight
Seamlessly blended
Custom-mapped to your parting, density and daily styling habits
We don’t rush. We focus on balance, beauty and blend.
When it’s time for the final reveal, most clients say they feel like they’re meeting the version of themselves they’ve always imagined.
Styling & The Mirror Moment
We’ll finish with a beautiful style that shows off your new hair whether that’s waves, sleek + straight, or a voluminous pony.
You’ll also get:
Styling tips for your exact extension type
A personalised aftercare plan
Product recommendations to keep your hair feeling amazing between appointments
It’s not about creating one good hair day, it’s about helping you feel confident every day.
What Happens Next?
Your extensions will last between 6–12 weeks depending on the method you choose. We’ll recommend the best maintenance plan for you and book your next appointment if needed.
Plus, we offer an optional Hair Extension Maintenance Membership designed to keep your results looking flawless, without the guesswork.
Still Wondering if It’s Worth It?
Most of our clients felt exactly the same way. They were nervous. Unsure. Thought maybe their hair was “too fine” or “not worth the effort.”
Now?
✨ They love how they look in every photo.
✨ They get asked, “Wait… is that your real hair?”
✨ They feel like the version of themselves they’ve always wanted to be.
You could be next.
