Everything you could ever want to know about hair extensions

What types of extensions do Circles of Hair offer?

We offer three premium, salon grade extension methods:

• Tape Extensions

• Weft Extensions

• Micro Link Extensions

We also manufacture our own hair extensions to meet our high quality standards. This means we often have your desired colour, length and texture already in stock, so you do not need to wait for an order.

Each option is customised, colour matched and installed by our trained Circles specialists.

Which extension type is best for me?

This depends on:

• Your hair type

• Your lifestyle

• The look and fullness you want

• Your maintenance preferences

Your stylist will assess your hair during a consultation and recommend the safest and most natural looking option.

How often do I need maintenance on my extensions?

• Tape Extensions: 6 to 8 weeks

• Weft Extensions: 6 to 10 weeks

• Micro Links: 8 to 12 weeks

The actual hair usually lasts up 10 months with the right care.

Are extensions damaging?

When applied correctly and cared for properly, they are not damaging.
Our team is trained in safe installation, correct tension and clean sectioning to protect your natural hair.

Can I colour my hair with extensions in?

Yes, we can tone your natural hair around your extensions.
We avoid lightening extension hair, but toners, glosses and lowlights are all extension safe.

We can also tone your extensions to your dream shade so everything blends seamlessly together.

Can I style my extensions with heat?

Yes.
Our extension hair is 100% human hair, so you can curl, straighten and blow dry with heat protectant.

How often should I wash my extensions?

Two to three times a week is ideal using extension friendly products which your stylist will recommend.

Can I wear my hair up with extensions?

Yes. All three methods allow flexible styling including ponytails and buns.
Micro links and tapes are especially discreet for sleek, pulled back looks.

How long does an extension appointment take?

Timing will always depend on your hair goals and the look you want to achieve.
Here is a general guide:

• Tapes: 45 to 90 minutes

• Wefts: 1 to 2 hours

• Micro Links: 1.5 to 2.5 hours

How much do extensions cost?

Pricing varies based on length, thickness, method and the look you want.
You will receive a personalised quote during your consultation.

Do I need a consultation before booking extensions?

Yes. All first-time extension clients require a consultation to determine your colour match, method and exact amount of hair needed.

What products should I use to care for my extensions?

Your stylist will tailor a product plan, but typically we recommend:

• Extension safe shampoo and conditioner

• A nourishing oil or cream

• Heat protectant

• An extension safe brush

Important: Avoid protein based products on your extensions.
Extensions are already processed hair, and protein can make them dry, brittle or prone to snapping. Hydration and moisture focused products are always best.

Can I reuse my extensions?

Yes. Extension hair can be reused for multiple maintenance appointments with proper care.

Do extensions work for fine or short hair?

Yes.
Our placement techniques ensure an invisible, seamless blend even on fine or shorter hair.

Can you perm extensions to match my natural curl?

Yes. We can perm your extensions to match your natural curl pattern, or we can perm both your natural hair and extensions together if that is the result you want.
This ensures a seamless and unified texture from root to ends.
