It’s important to have hair extensions applied by a hair extension specialist who has experience and training in hair extensions. At Vixen & Blush we are a hair extension specialist salon and do hair extensions all day in our central London salon. Our talented team of stylists have all trained in hairdressing and have chosen to specialise their training on hair extensions.
Having a professional apply your extensions will ensure that the extensions are applied correctly and will look natural and blend seamlessly with your natural hair. It’s also very important to care for hair extensions to ensure they last as long as possible and maintain their quality and appearance. Read our blog post Extension Care 101: How To Keep Your Hair Extensions Looking Great. for some more top tips on keeping your extensions looking their best.
There are several different methods of hair extensions available, at Vixen and Blush we offer 4 different methods Micro Ring, Micro Bond, Tape and Clip In extensions.
This method involves fitting each strand of hair with a tiny metal Micro ring. A precise section of your hair is threaded through the ring, and a strand of extension hair is added alongside your hair. The Micro Ring is then clamped closed and is in place for 12 weeks.
The Micro Ring method is very popular in the salon as its comfortable to wear and very easy and simple to remove after 3 months. The hair can be refitted using a new ring for another 3-month wear-time. Re fits can then be repeated many times using the same hair making this a cost-effective method.
Micro Bond extensions involve attaching small strands of hair to the natural hair using keratin. The Micro Bonds we have at Vixen & Blush are made of keratin resin, this is the same protein found in hair and nails and each bond is formed by hand. Our stylists can easily adjust the size of each bond to match your hair density carefully.
This is a very small and discreet method. Volume is built up slowly and the results are natural allowing your hair to move freely and blend easily into your natural hair. It’s a great option if you a have finer hair type and want a permanent method that lasts for 3 months.
Tape in extensions are a semi-permanent method that lasts between 6-8 weeks before needing to be re-applied. Tape extensions are a fantastic way of adding a small amount of hair for a volume boost but can also be used to add length by adding additional pairs. If you’re adding length, tape hair can be re-used many times! We remove tape extensions and can refit it again with new tape.
Clip In extensions are a temporary method than can be clipped onto your natural hair to add volume and length. They are easy to attach and remove and the perfect solution for an instant boost to your natural hair! We offer Clip In extension appointments in the salon where one of our stylists will colour match, fit, cut & blend them.
