Keeping on top of the latest hairstyles means learning to style your hair in lots of new ways!

Can you style your hair the same way with hair extensions? The short answer is, Yes! Having hair extensions can actually boost your styling opportunities.

A style we have been loving this season is curtain bangs! The nostalgic throwback has been making a comeback and with a little help from hair extensions we can achieve that voluminous look for you. With as little as 6 pairs of tape we can give you an instant boost and add texture and thickness to your hairstyle. As part of the fitting appointments we offer a complimentary restyle or trim, as well as finishing your appointment with a style of your choice, whether that’s a soft beachy wave or full Hollywood glam curls.

When styling your hair extensions at home, you can heat style your extensions with any hair dryer, straightener or curling wand. Our hair extensions can be washed and styled as you would your own hair, as they are made from the finest quality hair. We always recommend using a salon quality shampoo, conditioner and heat protector on your hair extensions to maintain the quality.

Hair extensions hold their style so if you feel your curls drop out after a few hours, having hair extensions will help your hair hold the curl. This makes styling for events and special occasions where you need your hair to look perfect all day long a dream.

We have a lot of brides come into our central London salon for consultations before their wedding day to see how we can help them achieve their dream hair for the big day! Planning ahead of time is always the best place to start, and we often see brides a year before their wedding day for a free consultation to discuss their wedding hair goals. We can work around any hairstyle and place hair extensions in specific areas based on your wedding updo or hairstyle.

As you style your hair less it reduces the amount of heat you are using on your own hair. This protects your natural hair from everyday heat styling. Having thicker and fuller hair means we can do more with the cut and styling of your hair and create your desired look!

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.
