FAQs
-
If you’ve ever looked in the mirror and thought, “I just want more hair — longer, thicker, better”, then yes. Whether you’re dealing with fine strands, breakage, slow growth, or just want to switch things up, extensions can help. We’ll walk you through what’s realistic based on your hair type and goals.
-
We exclusively use Seamless1 tape hair extensions — one of Australia’s most trusted salon-quality brands. They’re lightweight, natural-looking, and designed to blend seamlessly with your own hair (hence the name).
-
Only if you tell them. Our stylists are trained to custom-blend your extensions to match your natural colour and texture. No thick lines. No weird lumps. Just hair that looks like yours — but better.
-
With proper care and maintenance, tape extensions last 6 – 8 weeks before needing a move-up. The actual hair can often be reused for up to 6 months or more, depending on how well you look after them.
-
Your initial appointment includes:
A personalised consultation
Custom colour matching and sectioning

Take-home complimentary aftercare pack with everything you need to keep your new hair happy at home
-
We’ll give you a full run-through in the salon, but here’s the quick version:
Use sulfate-free shampoo + conditioner
Avoid applying oils or heavy products near the root
Brush gently, starting from the ends up
Always dry your roots thoroughly after washing
-
Not when they’re applied and cared for correctly. Our team is trained in safe application techniques to ensure minimal stress on your natural hair. We also walk you through maintenance so you feel confident looking after them between appointments.
-
Every 6 – 8 weeks for a move-up. During your first appointment, we’ll book your next visit on the spot so you stay on track and avoid tangling or slippage.
-
Sort of. We can custom tone or colour extensions prior to application, but we don’t recommend lightening them once they’re in your hair. If you’re planning a colour change, talk to us first — we’ll make sure your extensions are part of the plan.
-
Pricing depends on how many tapes you need and your hair goals (length, volume, or both). We’ll give you a quote during your consultation, with zero pressure to commit.
