Tape In Extensions Installation Time: 1 hour
Tape in hair extensions are the perfect choice for all hair types. We have a range of tapes (ultra seamless and invisi-skin weft) to cater for all. Our professionals can attach these super lightweight and flawless extensions in around one hour, making them a quick solution for people on the go.
Application involves placing a section of natural hair between tape bonds which lay strong and flat to your head. These extensions can be worn in a range of styles, and placement can be adjusted to suit your needs.
Things to know before and after installation
- Bonds settle on hair that hasn't been washed for a few days - so don't wash your hair or get it wet 48 hours before installation
- This method requires in-salon maintenance every 5-8 weeks, but as long as you care for your extensions properly, you can reuse them a number of times. Check out our hair extension care guide.
- Avoid products with sulphate to keep your extensions looking their best for longer.
Nano Tip Extensions Installation Time: 2 -3 hours
Nano tip hair extensions are the next best thing and are an upgrade from traditional micro-bead I tips. 90% smaller than traditional micro-beads, Nano extensions can add length, body, and colour! These extensions are attached with a silicone lined bead that protects your natural hair. Clamping secures the extensions in place and the micro-bead becomes virtually invisible! They look super natural and lay flat onto the head for seamless blending.
Things to know before and after installation
- To ensure your natural hair doesn't tangle, nano extensions should be maintained in-salon every 5-8 weeks
- You can reuse these extensions as long as you take good care of them. Check out our hair extension care guide.
All Weft Hair extension installation: 30mins-3 Hours
Weft hair extensions work best for people who’ve already got the length they want, but would love to have more body and texture in their hair. They can also be used to add length. You’ve got the option of our Genius Weft Extension which we bead and sew OR you can get one of our newest and most popular methods, the Superior Butterfly Weft - The 15 minute install method & easy maintenance!
These extensions are secured using silicone beads that are virtually undetectable, as well as traditional stitching. We’ve got a few different application styles for weft hair extensions - it all depends on the hair we are working with.
Butterfly weft is BEADED only! HOW GOOD?!
Things to know before and after installation
- Keep your weft hair extensions in peak condition with in-salon maintenance every 4-6 weeks.

Things to know before and after installation

All Superior Hair extensions are made from 100% Preimium Remy human hair - but this doesn’t mean you wash them the same way as your natural hair.

Check out a step-by-step guide below on the best way to wash your removable extensions.
Semi-permanent extensions that can not be removed easily can be washed similarly to your natural routine, but we do suggest washing hair only 2-3 times per week. Make sure to massage gently and to avoid shampoos with parabens, alcohol, or sulphates.
