Signature Weft

We understand that all clients lead different lifestyles, wear their hair in various ways, and of course have other types of hair. For that reason, our hair salons offer three key methods of application to suit every client's needs. Our first and most popular method is tape extensions, we install both classic tape and invisible tape extension styles for our clients, these are ultra discreet and excellent for almost all hair types. Our second method is our micro bead weft offering amazing thickness in beautiful hand sewn high quality wefts, these are most suitable for those with thick hair. Our final method is the micro bead method, which are individual 1 gram extensions applied with mini plastic coated copper beads. These are great for hair of medium thickness and require maintenance every 5-6 weeks.

All methods are tried and tested by our team in order to ensure safety for the natural hair.

It is true that extensions take extra work as you will be taking care of extra hair, but provided that you use the correct products as recommended by your hairdresser, the maintenance is not too difficult. Being human hair you can continue to style your hair in the same way, you can use your hair straighteners and curling tools provided you use a heat protectant prior. All clients receive a complete care guide when having hair extensions applied in salon so you can ensure proper maintenance. Here are some of the key points:

• Use hair salon quality products provided by the salon
• Never use products containing protein, keratin, parabens and/or sulfates.
• Concentrate shampoo on your natural hair only not the extensions.
• Apply a deep treatment mask once per week.
• Tie hair in a plait or low ponytail prior to sleeping.
• Use the recommended extension brush to keep your hair tangle-free.
• Return for maintenance on time to ensure no damage is caused to your natural hair.

There are different grades of hair that you can select depending on your needs and budget. The lifespan of hair extensions is a direct reflection of not only their quality but on how they are looked after once applied. Extensions need more attention than our own hair. The reason for this is that once the extensions are applied by your hairdresser, they are not getting any natural oils and nutrients like our own hair gets from the roots, so they will dry out very quickly if the correct products are not used. We recommend always using a professional hair salon brand, protein free heat protectant spray when doing any heat styling to the hair, which will help protect it from being damaged. When washing hair extensions a high-grade professional salon brand sulfate free shampoo and moisture conditioner should be used. We also recommend the daily use of J'adore Smoothing Serum and a weekly deep treatment mask. Provided these products are used and no protein or keratin is used on the hair they should stay in very good condition. It is important to remember though, hair extensions are not a miracle product, they are human hair and do need TLC.

We use only the highest grade of hair extensions in order for every client to enjoy the experience of wearing hair extensions. All our hairdressers wear the hair extensions that we supply to our clients and we love them.

Our clients that wear our Premium Remy Jadore Hair Supplies hair often find that the lifespan is around 9 months or longer, depending on how they are cared for. All extensions require maintenance every 4-6 weeks to maintain the health and condition of your natural hair.

Yes, you can still swim at the beach or in pools. The hair should always be tied in a loose plait or simply left out when swimming. It is important to not wear the hair in a bun when hair is getting wet as this makes it very prone to tangling. After swimming you should always rinse the hair as soon as possible (e.g. Beach shower if available) and wash it that evening/day with a hair salon quality cleansing shampoo, then apply a deep conditioning treatment mask. To restore moisture it is a great idea to apply a product such as J’adore Smoothing Serum prior to swimming and where possible rinse your hair in fresh water prior to entering a pool or the ocean as this will help your extensions (and natural hair) not soak up the chlorine or sea water. You should be aware that if you are someone who swims very regularly, your extensions will not last as long as someone who swims infrequently.

The short answer to both is absolutely yes, however there are some restrictions.

With regards to the colouring of extensions, they must be taken darker and not lighter. For example if you select an extension colour that is a mid brown and you want to go blonde, you will not be able to have them bleached, you could only have them coloured darker with a semi-permanent colour.

You can tone and purple shampoo hair extensions.

If you are someone who colours their hair (most of us!) you can absolutely still get hair extensions. Pretty much all colouring can still be done whilst wearing hair extensions. If you are a foiled blonde, the only thing that you may choose to do is instead of having a full head of foils is just have a half head or hairline & part as the extensions will create the lightened coloured throughout the back for you. This means less risk of damage to your own hair through excessive colouring, and more money in your purse - win win!

Scalp bleach clients should ensure their hairdresser is experienced with performing this service on clients wearing hair extensions. Extra care and attention is needed and we have many clients that we look after for this service.
