Brighten Your Look with Hair Extensions

Adding pops of colour through hair extensions is a fun and easy way to transform your look.

Whether you’re going for subtle highlights, or a sun kissed glow. Here’s how we can elevate your hair game with the magic of extensions.

The hair extensions transformation

This client wanted to add some vibrancy and dimension to her dark brunette hair. To achieve this, she opted for a ¼ head of Micro Bond hair extensions.

This technique involves small, discreet bonds being fitted that blend seamlessly with her natural hair, ensuing a natural and lightweight feel. Micro Bond extensions offer a highly precise and versatile solution for adding length and volume. This advanced technique demands exceptional expertise and is not commonly available in standard salons. As a specialist hair extension salon, we provide Micro Bond extensions for clients who lack density at the root ensuring a tailored and secure fit.

We used her natural brunette shade 1A as the base, maintaining her rich brunette tone while enhancing her look with a subtle, sun-kissed effect. To achieve this, we incorporated shades C2 and 3B. C2 is a soft caramel brunette and 3B is a warm golden blonde. Blended, these shades add depth, dimension and brightness to her hair.

The result is beautifully enhanced natural dark brunette hair with dimensional highlights that elevate her look.

Why use hair extensions for adding colour?

Adding hair extensions offer a versatile solution for experimenting with colour. They are an excellent way to enhance your look without the damage of traditional hair colouring. Extensions don’t require bleaching or processing of your natural hair, making them ideal for maintaining healthy, damage-free hair!

They allow you to experiment with highlights and lowlights in a wide range of shades. They provide a seamless, natural blend that can be tailored to suit your style, adding dimension and vibrancy. It’s also a great way to try out a shade before making it permanent, as depending on the method you choose the wear time of your extensions can vary between 6-8 weeks or 3 months.

Choosing your perfect colour

For a sun-kissed glow, opt for extensions that are one or two shades lighter than your natural hair. With The London Hair Lab conveniently located in our central London salon, our stylists have immediate access to premium quality hair and complete creative freedom to select the perfect shades for each and every client.

Sarah McKenna is the founder of Vixen & Blush and The London Hair Lab. Sarah graduated as a research biochemist in 2005 and started a career within the pharmaceutical industry, before becoming a hair extensions expert. In 2010, Sarah gained insight into the hair extensions industry and could see that clients had a very poor value/quality proposition. At that time, poor-quality hair extensions were available, at prohibitively high prices. Sarah left her initial career and set out on a mission to improve the hair extensions industry in the UK, using her research and development skills.

Spending 3 years securing a high-quality and sustainable supply of human hair, Sarah then developed new products and fitting techniques to allow long-term refits of the same hair. In this way, Sarah was able to offer hair extensions services at a more affordable price to clients, while improving the quality of the service for her clients.

With Vixen & Blush starting in 2012 as a 1 chair salon in London, Sarah quickly grew the business to what it is today, a team of more than 20 hair professionals working together as London’s leading hair extensions specialists.
