When we first did Bonnie’s extensions, she had a BOB 😱😱😱

Look how much her natural hair has grown with nanos in! 😍

It was time for something new, so today we went the longest she’s been 🙊 with a new full head of 24”… I had immediate hair envy 🤣

• 160 grams
• 24”
• Nano rings
• Damage free 🩷

A lot of what makes extensions look natural and blended actually happens underneath 😍

• Clean sectioning
• Correct weight distribution
• Strategic colour placement
• Firing methods suited to your hair type
• And most importantly… not overloading fragile hair.

Hair health always comes first 🤍🤍

• 100 grams
• 3 shades
• 18 inches
• Damage free 💖

Adding length and fullness to this already super long hair! 😍

We started with a little trim to get some of the dead ends off first (before an extension fitting is the best time! No one will know you’ve had a chop underneath 🤣)

Then added just 110 grams of 24” weave ✨

I always weight match to the density of your own hair so your scalp and hair don’t suffer from extensions that are too heavy for you - every person is different, and needs a different set of hair ❤️

Would you believe that previous to this fitting, this lovely lady still had her last weave in from nearly a YEAR ago?! 😱 and not one bead was missing! After a horrendous pregnancy related illness that left her basically bedbound the entire pregnancy, she didn’t have the energy or time to get her refits done… while I never recommend going so long between appointments I was astounded to see it was still in her hair in one piece! 🤣 ❤️

On the NINE YEAR ANNIVERSARY of gaining my hair extensions qualification 🥹 I present to you this beautiful, natural nano transformation on the most amazing lady 🩷

16 inches goes a long way 🌚🌝

120 grams of hair for a little bit of length and a whole lot of thickness 🥰

I can’t believe I’ve actually found a job that I enjoy so much I’m still doing it nearly a decade on 🥹 thank you to every single lady who’s been through my doors, laughed, cried, shared their lives with me and trusted their hair in my hands! ❤️
I am so grateful for every one of you ❤️

First time extensions for the crazy cat lady 🩷 (I love when you’re all as obsessed with animals as me 🤣)

A full head of 18” nanos has made all the difference 🤩

Welcome to your new obsession 🤫 🤣

• 140 grams
• 18”
• Nano rings
• Damage free ✨

Imagine waking up with hair like this every day…
Low maintenance, natural, and completely customised to you ✨🥰

• 20-22”
• Micro Weave & Nano Combo
• 150 grams
• Two shades for added blondness ✨

Ending the week with the thickest hair I’ve seen in years 🤣🤣 (the video doesn’t even do it justice)

Thick biological hair always needs extra hair extensions, and we used 180 grams of weave and nanos to make this miracle come true! 🙏

In terms of transparency, if you have majorly thick hair with a blunt cut, you will more than likely need some thinning to get everything to sit flush and looking natural. Luckily for Megan this isn’t her first rodeo and she has plenty of hair to spare for some thinning 🤣

When these extensions have lived their full life in 12-18 months, her hair will have grown around 6-9 inches (!!!) so any fine ends from thinning out can be taken up to make a blunt cut again if she no longer wants extensions 🥰

✨ CONSULTATIONS ✨

A little info about the consultation process before getting your new hair! 🤩

I will always book you in a free consultation before a hair extensions fitting - we can’t give you your dream hair without one, and this is why!

During a consultation, this is where we match your colours using my huge colour swatch ring. We also can discuss adding highlights, lowlights or pops of colour if your own biological hair isn’t quite the colour you want it to be!

We also measure you up to see which length would be ideal (you’d be surprised how your height impacts hair length!) discuss which method would be best for you and your lifestyle (and preferred hairstyles!) and work out how many extensions you’d need 🥰

This also gives me a chance to check your roots are nice and strong so they can hold them in ⭐️

I always always always talk through detailed aftercare with you so you know what to expect and how to look after your new hair 💁‍♀️ and we work out the price you’d be looking at considering the colours, length, type and amount (and then we can book in your fitting! 🥳)

There is no one size fits all when it comes to hair extensions, which is why it’s impossible to give an exact price over message.

However, consultations are completely free, and there is no pressure or obligation to go through with a fitting - it’s just to work out what you’d need, and whether it’s something you’d be happy to commit to 🥰

🌶️ Redddd Hot 🌶️

Did you know that your extensions can be custom coloured? 🥰

We turned a rooted blonde into this fire truck red and the result is literally to dye for (get it? Sorry 🤣)

Most people are shocked when they find out you can dye extensions! Going same colour, darker or using fashion colours (ie vegetable dye with no developer) is absolutely fine! While bleaching is a no-no, because extensions are already processed and so bleach is just going to melt them apart 🫠

• 20-22”
• Nano rings
• 140 grams
• Custom dyed
• 12-18 month lifespan 😍

My lovely client Aleya is kindly taking part in 100km in March to raise money for Alder Hey Children’s hospital, after losing her brother to
Duchenne muscular dystrophy. 🤍🪽

Alder Hey does so much for children and families struggling through the hardest times - if you have a few pennies to spare, please consider donating to her cause ❤️

Isn’t it crazy how adding some same length extensions can make your hair look so much longer?!

Often times people feel like their hair just isn’t long enough, but with a little added volume it completely changes the way you feel about your hair 😍

Just 100 grams of 20-22”, in three shades with some cheeky added highlighted strands for dimension 🙊 finished with my signature wave 🌊
