Hair Extensions

There are several different ways in which we can fit your hair extensions. During your free consultation, your COUPE technician will talk you through the various options and work out a plan that is right for you.

Micro-Ring Hair Extensions

Your hair extensions will be attached close to the roots using tiny metal, colour-matched rings that are tightened by a pair of hair extensions pliers.  This means your extensions can be added without the need to use heat or glue.  The hair extensions can also be easily removed by loosening the rings – so there is no need for chemicals.  We find this is a good method to use for people who have fine or chemically treated hair.  

Wearing Time:  We would expect your hair extensions to last for three months, with care.  After this time, your extensions should be removed and reapplied closer to the calp, using the same hair or replacing with new hair.  

Application Time: It usually takes 3-5 hours for a full head application; 2-3 hours for half a head.  All hair extensions services include a  cut and style too.

Nano-Ring Hair Extensions

The revolutionary nano-ring hair extensions system is gentle on your natural hair, using no heat or glue.  As the name implies, the nano-ring that is fitted around your natural hair is so small it is almost invisible so it feels like you are not wearing extensions at all.  These are ideal if you have fine hair. 

Wearing Time:  Up to 3 months, with care. 

Application Time:  Full head application 3-5 hours; half head application 2-3 hours.  All hair extensions services include a cut and style too.

Microweft Hair Extensions

Microweft hair extensions are applied in the same way as micro-ring and nano-ring hair extensions and use no heat or glue.  The main difference is that hair is attached in wefts – larger sections of hair – rather than in single strands.  This makes it more affordable and less time-consuming to apply.  Microwefts are perfect for special occasions. 

Wearing Time: Up to 4 weeks.

Application Time:  Full head application 2-3 hours; half head application 1-2 hours.  All hair extensions services include a cut and style too.

Keratin Pre-Bonded Hair Extensions

The bonds are made from keratin, an organic protein which is a natural component of the hair structure.  The keratin is melted with a hot tool around a small section of hair close to the scalp and then rolled with the fingers to form a tiny but strong bond.  The bonds will need to be removed after around 3 months and reapplied closer to the scalp, either reusing or replacing the hair. 

Wearing Time:  Up to 3 months, with care.

Application Time:  Full head application 3-5 hours; half head application:  2-3 hours. All hair extensions services include a cut and style too.

Keratin Fusion-Bonded Hair Extensions

Similar to the Keratin Pre-Bonded Hair Extensions, these differ because the colour and thickness of each strand is manually blended and then dipped in a keratin pot before application. This gives a completely natural look and is a very bespoke service.  

Wearing Time:  Up to 3 months, with care.

Application Time:  Full head application 4-6 hours; half head application:  3-5 hours. All hair extensions services include a cut and style too.  

Taped Hair Extensions 

Taped hair extensions comprise of two wefts (larger sections of hair) that are taped to either side of sections of your natural hair.  This is a low cost, low maintenance option.  Taped hair extensions are invisible and flexible.  High-quality Remy taped hair extensions can be reused, depending on wear and tear.  

Wearing Time:  Up to 2 months, with care.

Application Time:  Full head application 1-2 hours; half head application:  1 hour. All hair extensions services include a cut and style too.   

Each hair extension is bespoke to your needs as everyone has different hair.  The look you want to achieve will depend on the quality, length and type of hair extension application you choose.  All these factors will be evaluated by your hair extensions specialist during a complimentary hair extensions consultation. Please also note that a deposit to cover the cost of your hair is required once you decide to go ahead with your extensions.  Book your free consultation by calling the salon on 01344 873 200.

Home care is essential to the longevity of your hair extensions.  ALWAYS use shampoos, conditioners and treatments which have been designed for hair extensions.  Our hair extensions experts recommend:

Soft & Silky Shampoo (200ml)	£15
Soft & Silky Conditioner (200ml)	£15
Soft & Silky Maintenance Spray (150ml)	£15

How do I book in for hair extensions?

A thorough consultation is required before you have your hair extensions. In the consultation, your hair extension technician will explain all you need to know about hair extensions and how best to look after them. They will also cover any contra-indications to hair extensions in case hair extensions are not suitable for you.

When can I have my hair extensions fitted?

Once we have carried out your consultation and agreed to go ahead, we will ask for a deposit of 50% of the full price.  We normally allow 3 days for delivery of the hair. Once your extensions arrive, we can begin creating your beautiful new head of hair.

My hair is coloured.  Can I still have hair extensions?

Yes, Your technician will colour match the hair extensions to your hair colour. If you need your hair coloured, we recommend you do this before having your hair extensions added.

How do I look after my hair extensions?

Your hair extensions specialist at COUPE Hair Salon in Sunninghill will explain how best to look after your new hair extensions and recommend the right maintenance aftercare products to use.

What are Remy hair extensions?

Remy human hair extensions are the highest grade of real, human hair, which has been prepared with the hair cuticles facing in the same direction to give you hair that is smooth and looks beautiful and natural. Remy hair is less likely to tangle or become knotty.

What are taped hair extensions?

Taped hair extensions have fine, flexible micro tape affixed to the ‘root’ end of the hair.  These tapes are attached to your own hair which means there is no need for tools or heat. They are designed to lay flat so remain undetected in your hair and will grow out as your hair grows.   

What are Micro Ring Hair Extensions?

Small sections of hair are affixed using strategically positioned micro rings.  The micro rings are closed tightly (but not too tight!) around your natural hair to keep them in place.  

What are Pre-Bonded Hair Extensions?

The hair is pre-bonded with keratin and is applied with a heated-tip tool.

Can I use a curling iron or flat iron with my hair extensions?

Heated appliances can be used on human hair extensions in exactly the same way as you would with your own hair. We would recommend you protect your hair by applying a heat protection spray before using heated tools.

Can I remove the hair extensions myself?

It is recommended that a professional hair extension technician takes out your hair extensions to prevent damage to your own hair.  We offer a hair extensions removal service priced at £60 per hour.

What will happen if I keep my hair extensions longer than the recommended period?

Your natural hair growth will cause the bonds to move away from your scalp and serious tangling in the root area can occur.  Please call us if you are unsure.
