Everything You Need to Know About Hair Extensions at Heavenly Hair ✨

We sat down with our Extensions Specialist, Beth, to answer your most-asked questions about hair extensions — from methods and maintenance to the confidence-boosting transformations that make them so special.

🌟 What inspired you to specialise in extensions?

For Beth, it’s all about the power of transformation.
"Seeing how a person and their look can completely change by adding hair is amazing — particularly when it helps someone with thinning hair regain confidence."

🎓 What training and experience do you have?

"Most of my clients are tapes or nanos, but last year I was part of Project Extend with the Fellowship of British Hair. I got to explore mesh integration, wefts, and keratin bonds. I can’t wait to keep learning more methods so I can help even more clients."

🎨 What types of extensions do you offer?

At Heavenly Hair, we currently offer tape extensions and nano extensions using Zen Hair as our trusted supplier. But Beth explains it’s never one-size-fits-all:
"We do an in-depth consultation with every client to find out what method works best for their hair type, lifestyle, and the look they want to achieve."

💫 Are extensions just about length?

Not at all. Extensions can add volume, density, and even colour.
"Many of my clients have experienced hair thinning or hair loss and simply want thicker, fuller hair. Extensions are also brilliant if you’d like to add colour without dyeing your natural hair — perfect for anyone who reacts to colour or prefers to avoid it."

🖤 What makes extensions look natural?

Beth is clear: it comes down to the stylist.
"That’s all in the experience, expertise, and knowledge of your extensionist."

✂️ What can clients expect at their first appointment?

"Make sure you allow enough time. Depending on your needs, we may colour your hair first, then apply extensions. We’ll wash and blow-dry your hair, apply the extensions, then cut and blend them seamlessly into your natural hair before styling them as you like. Finally, we’ll go through aftercare so you feel confident looking after them at home."

👩‍🦱 How do you help clients choose the right method?

"I always ask about their daily routine and what they’re prepared to do, then colour-match their hair. I’ll also explain why certain options may or may not work. The wrong extensions can damage your natural hair, so it’s important to choose carefully."

❓ What should clients ask before committing?

Beth recommends asking about:

• Maintenance

• Products to use

• How often you’ll need to return

• Whether heat styling is allowed

• How it fits into your budget

🚫 What’s the biggest misconception about extensions?

"That they ruin your natural hair. Or that they’re only for length. Or that colours won’t match and everyone will know you’ve got them. None of that is true when extensions are done properly."

💤 How do you look after extensions at home?

• Sleep with your hair in loose plaits

• Treat extensions like your natural hair

• Use extension-safe products

• Brush section by section to prevent matting

💖 What’s your favourite transformation story?

"One of my clients had been losing confidence due to hair loss, particularly around her hairline. She stopped going out and socialising. After several consultations, we added just a few tapes on each side to give her more density. The transformation in her expression was priceless — she looked like a new woman, full of confidence again. Being part of that is why I do what I do."

👑 How do you want clients to feel when they leave?

"Whatever service they have, I always want clients to leave feeling confident and like their best self. Confidence-led transformations are what we do."
