Hair Extensions

Everything You Need To Know

Hair extensions are more than just a way to add length, they are the ultimate tool for customisable volume, chemical-free colour dimension, and instant confidence. Whether you are looking to bounce back from a blunt haircut, thicken up fine strands, or achieve the cascading locks of your dreams, modern hair extensions offer a seamless, natural-looking solution.

With so many methods available, finding the perfect match depends entirely on your hair type, lifestyle, and hair goals. Dive into our complete guide below to discover our offerings and find out if extensions are the right move for you.

Premium Hair Extension Services

Keratin Bonds

The Method: This is the gold standard of luxury, strand-by-strand hair extensions. Using a patented, gentle molecular bond made of synthetic keratin which perfectly mimics the molecular structure of human hair individual strands are expertly fused to your natural hair. The bond expands and contracts with water just like your own hair, ensuring zero damage and a hyper-customised, 360-degree natural movement.

Best For: Those looking for the most discreet, low-maintenance finish possible. It’s perfect for all hair types (even ultra-fine hair) and anyone who loves wearing high ponytails or top knots without visible attachments.

Longevity: Lasts 3 to 6 months with proper aftercare. Requires a 6 to 8-week maintenance visit (wash, blow-wave, and bond check) to manage natural shedding and prevent matting.

Investment: Price Varies (Customised quote provided during consultation)

Keratin Bond Removal: When professionally removed, a specialised gel is applied to gently break down the keratin bond, allowing it to safely soften and release from the natural hair. The extension is then carefully slid out without pulling or stress on the strands. This process ensures the natural hair remains clean, intact, and undamaged when performed correctly.

Tape-In Extensions

The Method: Utilising the same world-class, ethically sourced virgin hair as the classic bonds, the premium hair is anchored to an ultra-thin, medical-grade adhesive strip that is "sandwiched" flat against your natural hair. They sit completely flush against the scalp, making them virtually undetectable and lightweight.

Best For: Clients looking for a fast transformation, instant root-to-end volume, or those who prefer a reusable method that can be easily moved up over multiple salon visits.

Longevity: Lasts 6 to 8 weeks before requiring a quick and seamless refit appointment.

Investment: Price Varies (Customised quote provided during consultation).

Removal: Removed using a specialised adhesive remover solution that safely dissolves the tape, allowing the extensions to slide out gently without pulling, damage, or residue when performed professionally.

Weft Extensions

The Method: Utilising the same world-class, ethically sourced virgin hair as the classic bonds, the premium hair is crafted onto a delicate, flexible track that lies completely flat against the head. Secured using comfortable application techniques, it creates a seamless, natural finish with incredible distribution of weight.

Best For: Clients looking for maximum volume and length, a secure full-head transformation, or those who prefer a reusable method that can be easily repositioned during regular maintenance visits.

Longevity: Lasts 6 to 8 weeks before requiring a maintenance adjustment as your natural hair grows.

Investment: Price Varies (Customised quote provided during consultation).

Removal: Unanchored and adjusted during your scheduled maintenance appointment, allowing the wefts to be safely removed and reinstalled without damaging your natural hair.

Are Extensions Right for You?

Things to Consider

A Shift in Your Styling Routine Premium hair requires premium care. You will need to switch to extension-safe, sulfate-free and protein free hair products, commit to a gentle daily brushing routine, and ensure you never go to sleep with wet roots.

The Maintenance Calendar Extensions are not a one-time service. To keep your natural hair completely healthy, you will need to return to the salon regularly every 6 to 8 weeks for a tapes refit, or every 3 to 6 months to safely remove and refresh your Keratin Bonds.

The Investment in Luxury Because we exclusively use world-class, ethically sourced Great Lengths hair and precision application methods, this service is a luxury investment. Budgeting for both the initial transformation and your follow-up maintenance appointments is essential.

Why You’ll Love Them

Instant Length & Dream Volume Skip the years of waiting. Whether you want cascading length or just want to fill in finer areas around your face, Great Lengths extensions deliver instant, lightweight fullness that looks completely natural.

Damage-Free Colour & Dimension Achieve perfect balayage, high-impact highlights, or subtle dimension without ever touching chemical bleach or dye. We blend multiple premium shades seamlessly to create your custom look.

Styles That Last For Days Extension hair holds memory incredibly well. When you curl or blowout your hair, it stays locked in for days, meaning less daily styling time and significantly less heat damage to your natural hair over time.

Maintenance & Aftercare

Keeping your extensions soft, seamless, and long-lasting is a shared effort! To maintain tension, protect your natural hair, and ensure your bonds stay secure, we recommend booking a routine refit every 6 to 8 weeks for wefts and tapes, and 3-6 months for Keratin Bonds.

The 48-Hour Rule: Avoid washing or wetting your hair for the first 48 hours after installation so adhesives and bonds can fully set.

Daily Care: Use only sulphate-free, protein-free salon products, brush gently using an extension loop brush, and never sleep with wet hair.

About Our Hair

100% Traceable, Ethical Sourcing

Great Lengths manages their entire supply chain directly, ensuring a level of traceability that is virtually unmatched in the industry.

The Origin: All Great Lengths hair is 100% human hair sourced directly from Hindu temples in India.

The Tradition of Tonsuring: During a traditional religious ritual called tonsuring, pilgrims willingly donate their hair to the temples as an act of gratitude and faith.

Supporting Communities: Great Lengths purchases this virgin hair directly from the temples. 100% of the proceeds from these purchases go directly back into the local Indian communities to fund essential services, including local healthcare, education, and infrastructure.

Full Consent: Every single strand is given with full donor consent, meaning no exploitation—just a beautiful, fair-trade cycle that respects the original donor.

Giving Hair a Second Life

Our commitment to sustainability doesn't stop when your extensions are removed. We proudly participate in Great Lengths' recycling initiative. Used extensions removed in our salon are collected and donated to The Little Princess Trust, an organization that uses the hair to create free, real-hair wigs for children and young people experiencing hair loss from cancer treatment.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Not when they are applied and maintained correctly! Because we use premium Great Lengths extensions, our methods are designed to respect the health of your natural hair. The Keratin Bonds mimic your hair’s natural molecular structure, while GL Tapes lay completely flat and lightweight. As long as you follow our recommended aftercare routine and return to the salon for your scheduled maintenance or safe removal, your natural hair will continue to grow beautifully underneath.

  • Absolutely! Since we use 100% premium Remy human hair, you can style, curl, straighten, and blow-dry your extensions just like your own hair. In fact, extension hair holds a style incredibly well, meaning your blowouts will last much longer. The only adjustments you’ll need to make are using extension-safe, sulfate-free shampoos, avoiding direct high heat right on the bonds or tapes, and ensuring you never sleep with wet roots.

  • It mostly comes down to your hair type, lifestyle, and how you like to wear your hair. GL Tapes are fantastic if you want a quicker application time or love instant, dramatic thickness from root to end. Keratin Bonds offer a hyper customised, strand-by-strand application that gives you 360-degree natural movement—making them completely undetectable even if you love wearing high ponytails or top knots. We will fully evaluate your hair and goals during your free consultation to recommend the perfect fit.

  • Every head of hair is completely unique. The final cost depends on your natural hair's starting length and density, your ultimate hair goals (whether you want subtle volume, maximum thickness, or dramatic length), and the method used. Because we fully customise the placement and quantity of the hair for a flawless blend, we provide an exact, transparent quote during your complimentary, no-obligation consultation.

  • Our Consultation is a relaxed, 15-to-20-minute conversation focused entirely on your hair goals. We will closely examine your natural hair texture, strength, and colour, listen to what you want to achieve, and answer any questions you have. From there, we will exact-match your colour using multiple custom shades, select the perfect Great Lengths method for your lifestyle, and map out your personalised investment quote so you know exactly what to expect.

  • Yes, using the right brush is essential! You should use a specialised extension brush or a soft-bristle brush designed specifically not to catch on the bonds or tape tabs. You will want to brush your hair thoroughly 2 to 3 times a day, starting from the ends and working your way up. Most importantly, always hold your hair in a ponytail with one hand while brushing to ensure you aren't pulling directly on your roots.
