Who This Is Ideal For
- Fine & Limp Hair: Nano rings and tapes add weightless volume and length without visible bonds or root tension.
- Instant Transformations: Perfect for adding 2 to 10 inches of luxurious length and double the thickness in under 2 to 3 hours.
- Chemical-Free Color: Ideal for adding ribbons of blonde highlights or brunette lowlights without bleaching your natural hair.
Aftercare & Maintenance
- Sulphate-Free Care: Always wash with sulphate-free shampoos to prevent stripping adhesive tapes or softening keratin bonds. Never apply conditioner to the bonds or tapes.
- Gentle Detangling: Brush your hair daily using a specialized extension loop brush, holding the bonds to prevent root tension.
- Sleep Preparation: Braid your hair in a loose plait before sleeping to prevent tangling and friction.
- Regular Refitting: Book tape and weave refits strictly every 6 to 8 weeks as your natural hair grows out.
All styling starts with a personal consultation to tailor the perfect finish.
Book Your Appointment →Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How long do Remi Cachet Elegance extensions last?
A: Remi Cachet Elegance double-drawn human hair can last up to 9 months or even a year with excellent home care. However, the bonds must be professionally maintained, removed, or refitted every 6 to 8 weeks (for tapes and weaves) to prevent matting.
Q: What is the difference between tape extensions and nano rings?
A: Tape extensions are 4cm wide flat tabs sandwiched together with a slice of your hair in between, ideal for flat volume. Nano rings are applied as tiny individual strands attached using microscopic metal loops, making them the most discreet option for very fine hair or when tying hair up.
Q: Will hair extensions damage my natural hair?
A: No. When professionally fitted, maintained, and removed by our certified stylists, extensions do not damage your hair. The sandwich method and nano loops distribute weight evenly to prevent scalp tension.
Q: Can I wash my hair normally with extensions?
A: Yes, but you must follow a few rules. Wait 48 hours after fitting to let the adhesive cure. Wash with sulphate-free shampoo, and never apply conditioner, oils, or heavy masks to the tape tabs or bonds—apply them only from the mid-lengths down.
Q: How much does a Tape Refit service cost?
A: A Tape Refit costs £75.00 for 10 tapes, £100.00 for 20 tapes, and £125.00 for 30 tapes. This includes safe removal, clarifying wash, re-taping, and refitting.
Q: Can I book a flat bond fitting online?
A: No. Because flat bonds and new fittings require custom hair ordering and colour-matching, you must book an Extension Consultation (£20.00) first. We will quote an exact price and order the hair. Maintance and removal can be booked online.
Q: Who are the main extension specialists at Hair In The City?
A: Our Creative Stylist Shelby Blain is our primary specialist for nano rings, weaves, and tapes. Salon Director Louise Wilson has over 20 years of experience in fitting flat bonds and custom color-matching.
