The most popular method at Vixen & Blush is Micro Rings, they are a permanent method so you only have to come in for a refit every 3 months. They are safe, reusable and super discreet. 

We are excited to have recently launched the weft method. This is a quick and reusable method perfect for those seeking longer fuller hair while still controlling their budget. 

Tape is another very popular hair extension method here at Vixen & Blush. It’s a long-term affordable method giving you hair goals without breaking the bank! They are super comfortable, wearable and you can refit the same hair many many times. We have clients who wear their hair for 2 years and only need to change for a colour update. 

We also offer Klarna pay in 3 to help spread the cost of your extensions interest free! This can be applied to any of the methods in the salon and also be used online. 

We have put together a handy list of pros and cons to help you figure out if hair extensions are right for you and answer the most asked questions. 

Pro – Extensions add volume and fullness to your hair.

If you have naturally fine or greasy hair you will know how impossible it is to add lasting volume using products. Even the most vigorous backcombing will be flat in a matter of hours! Say goodbye to limp, lifeless hair with hair extensions! They help to thicken out fine hair and give you a fullness that lasts. 

Con – Extensions can be high maintenance 

At Vixen & Blush we use the best quality hair extensions from The London Hair Lab, by choosing high quality, natural hair it may cost a little more at the beginning but it can be refitted many times making it cost effective in the long term! It’s important to take care of your hair extensions properly, we ensure to give you all the maintenance and after care advice you need to ensure you have that just stepped out of the salon feeling everyday. You can still style your hair as you did before and create even more voluminous and intricate looks that last!

Pro – Extensions are long lasting.

Depending which hair extension method you opt for they can last around 3-4 months. When the time comes to get your hair refitted it costs half the amount. With the correct care you can reuse your hair extensions multiple times. 

Con – Extensions are always noticeable.

We’ve all seen pictures of hair extension disasters and no one wants to emulate that look! This can easily be avoided by going to a specialist trained salon. At Vixen & Blush all of our stylists are trained specifically in hair extensions and that’s what they do all day every-day!
