HAIR EXTENSIONS IN YOUR
LUNCH BREAK?
STRAIGHTEN UP
Hair straightening, relaxing or smoothing
treatments have come a long way in recent
years. The systems devised by the Nanokeratin
brand have been well tried and tested for us
and our clients over a long period. Some of
our clients with particularly frizzy hair tell us
the treatments have been ‘life changing’ – and
one raved about how she could now go out in
the rain walking the dog and no longer fear her
crowning glory would convert to a frizz-bomb!
Currently there is the treatment that requires
the client to stave off washing their hair post-
application for a full three days. Wash it before
and the impact isn’t the same.
It’s a specific and expert art to deliver a full
head of natural looking hair extensions for a
client – and it takes time. We’ve built up our
expertise over decades. Depending on the look
you desire – whether you crave extra volume or
length or both - and the number of extensions
strands we apply it could take anything up to
three hours or more.
But a new 2018 product launch by Great
Lengths, the quality hair extensions specialists,
has revealed the brand’s GL Tapes. Dubbed as
‘fast-track luxury’, the GL Tapes use the same
quality, luxurious real human hair as traditional
extensions. There’s no difference in the flexibility
– you can curl, trim and really treat like normal
hair. The extensions remain invisible – and
only the desired effect is seen. Two major
differences are the speed of application – a
full head could be done in just over an hour,
depending on head size etc – and the fact
they can be reapplied. So the makers reckon
they can last up to eight weeks – and after that
you can have them reapplied. GL Tapes are
especially good if you’ve never previously worn
hair extensions. They’re easy to manage – yet
have all the same luxury quality. Price for a half
head would cost around £400, depending on
the look desired and strands applied. We offer
free no obligation consultations.
Their newest application no longer requires that
wait-time so if you were heading off on holiday
or needed straightening or frizz removal for an
imminent special occasion that would tick the
box. Prices for both start from £250 including a
cut and blow dry.
A new haircare regime for curls or waves.
