Hair Extensions
Extensions are a high-value service when done well and a liability when done badly. This hub covers the methods, brands and certifications shaping the UK extensions market — wefts, tapes, bonds and blends — plus the consultation, aftercare and pricing that protect both client and reputation. We track new ranges, faster install systems and the training that keeps technicians safe and competitive. If extensions are part of your salon offer, this is where to keep your knowledge and your service standards current.
