Tape extensions, balayage and blow dries in Finchley

How it works

• Pre-taped wefts are sandwiched either side of thin sections of your own hair
• The bond sits flat against the scalp, so it’s discreet and lightweight
• A full head can be fitted in around one to two hours

Good to know

• The same hair can be removed, re-taped and refitted with the right care
• A consultation comes first for new extension clients, so your stylist can match colour, length and method to you

How it works

• Individual pre-tipped strands are threaded through a tiny ring with a section of your own hair
• A small tool clamps each ring closed, so nothing is bonded to your hair
• The rings sit flat against the scalp

Good to know

• Hair Nova says nano rings can last several months before a maintenance appointment
• They suit finer hair types particularly well
• A consultation comes first for new extension clients, so your stylist can match colour, length and method to you

How it works

• Your natural hair is braided into small sections close to the scalp
• Wefts of real human hair are sewn into the braids with a needle and thread
• The result is full and voluminous

Good to know

• Hair Nova says a weave can last up to eight weeks or longer with proper care
• Your own hair rests underneath the weave
• A consultation comes first for new extension clients, so your stylist can match colour, length and method to you

How it works

• Each strand is tipped with a small keratin bond
• A heat tool melts the bond and fuses it to a strand of your own hair
• Fitting takes longer than other methods because each strand is placed individually

Good to know

• A consultation comes first for new extension clients, so your stylist can match colour, length and method to you

How it works

• Each weft is secured with small snap clips close to the root, at natural parting points
• Your stylist blends the extensions into your own hair for a seamless finish
• A full application takes around 20 to 30 minutes

Good to know

• Clip-ins are temporary, so there’s no commitment
• They need no specialist aftercare

• Real human hair is woven through the mesh to add volume and coverage
