Step 3 - Maintenance
Your new extensions can be worn for up to 3 months if they are well maintained. We usually recommend that you book a maintenance appointment 4 - 6 weeks after your fitting, as this will extend the life of your extensions.
Maintenance usually only takes an hour as long as your extensions have been well looked after.
During maintenance appointments we will:
- Check for any matting and tangling in your regrowth.
- Check for loose or cracked bonds and replace them with brand new extensions.
- Ask you a few questions to make sure you're happy with your extensions and address any problems you may be having.
- Thicken the extensions if required.
Some clients choose to leave their extensions in for 3 months and then have them
removed and a full set put back in. Others choose to come for maintenance every 4 weeks and have a certain amount removed and replaced. The second option allows the extensions to be kept in for longer as it creates a cycle.

Step 4 - Removal
Removal can take 1 - 2 hours depending on how many bonds you have in and how well they have been looked after. Your bonds will be removed using a special solution and broken with salon pilers. This means your bonds slide out easily and cause no pulling or damage to your hair. Some clients have actually told us this feels very relaxing! Your hair will need washing as soon as you get home as the solution contains oils which will make your hair greasy.
