Hair extensions, colour and blow dries in Finchley

How it works

• Pre-taped wefts are sandwiched either side of thin sections of your own hair
• The bond sits flat against the scalp, so it’s discreet and lightweight
• A full head can be fitted in around one to two hours

Good to know

• A consultation comes first for new extension clients, so your stylist can match colour, length and method to you
