Hair Extensions

Hair extensions are not one size fits all, because your natural hair density, length, condition, and daily routine all affect what will feel comfortable and look natural. Amour Hair Salon focuses on the condition and health of your hair, and will advise on how suitable extensions are for your individual hair type, including guidance on how much hair to add and how to maintain it afterwards.

Amour Hair Salon offers several hair extension brands and application methods, so there is a choice for different hair types and preferences.

Options include:

• Racoon International bonded human hair extensions, available in European and Remi hair types.
• Easilocks, designed to preserve the integrity of natural hair and add volume and length.
• Beauty Works, a well-established human hair extension brand, plus instant clip-in pieces such as fringes, buns and ombre style extensions available to order.
• Angel Remy, available in multiple methods including Stick Tip, Nail Tip, Flat Tip, Nano, Tape and Weft.

Hair extensions can be used to add thickness to fine hair, add length, or do both, depending on the type and how much hair is fitted.

During a consultation, the team can recommend a brand and method based on what you want to change most. For example, if your priority is a discreet blend, Easilocks is described as virtually undetectable to the eye and available in a range of sizes, lengths, colours and textures.

Hair extensions should be applied by trained professionals, and the method choice matters for long-term hair condition. You will be given advice and guidance on suitability for your hair type during your consultation.

A consultation is the right time to be honest about any breakage, postpartum shedding, scalp sensitivity, or previous extension wear, so the most appropriate option can be chosen.

Bonded extensions are a professional method where extension hair is attached in a way designed for longer wear and a natural finish. Racoon International extensions are a luxury brand of human hair extensions, with bonded extensions being a popular choice.

Racoon bonded extensions are only offered by accredited stylists who have completed Racoon training, and Amour Hair Salon is proud to be fully certified in application, maintenance and styling. This matters because correct sectioning, placement, and aftercare advice all affect comfort, blend, and how your natural hair feels once the extensions are in.

A natural result depends on choosing the right shade, undertone, texture, and placement, not just choosing a colour that looks similar on a swatch. Several of our ranges are available in multiple colours and textures.

If you like multi tonal hair, we also offer ombre and balayage style extensions, which can help replicate a dimensional finish.

A consultation is also useful for checking how your natural hair moves, where it is finer, and where weight should be avoided.

Hair extension longevity and maintenance needs vary depending on the application method used, your natural hair growth, and how you care for them day to day. Your extension technician will give you maintenance advice after your appointment.

• In practical terms, maintenance usually involves:
• Brushing gently and regularly to prevent tangling at the roots
• Keeping hair thoroughly dry after washing, especially near attachment points
• Avoiding heavy product build up around bonds or tapes
• Wearing hair loosely tied for sleep if it tangles easily
• Your stylist will tailor aftercare guidance to the exact method you choose, because bonded, tape, nano, and weft systems all have different do’s and dont's.
