Different Types of Hair Extensions 

We offer four professional hair extension methods and each has been carefully selected to suit different hair types, textures, and desired results:

  • Links (also known as micro rings) involve attaching small sections of extension hair to your natural strands using tiny beads. This is a great option for those who want a lightweight, versatile finish.
  • Tape extensions are great if you want quick results. These extensions are applied in flat sections that sit comfortably against the scalp, making them ideal for adding length and volume.
  • Wefts are perfect for those with thicker hair or clients looking for fuller coverage. Applied in rows, wefts create a voluminous look and are particularly effective for dramatic transformations.
  • Bonds use keratin-based attachments to secure individual small bunches of hair. This method blends beautifully with your own hair and offers excellent durability.
  • Hair in Recovery 'baby-bonds' are ideal for people with thinning hair or hair loss as they are gentler on your scalp and natural hair.

The Benefits of Hair Extensions

Hair extensions offer an instant and versatile way to transform your look without waiting for your natural hair to grow. One of the biggest benefits is the ability to add length and volume immediately, making them ideal for those with fine or slow-growing hair.

Extensions can also be used to enhance your overall style. If you’ve ever wanted to try highlights, lowlights, or balayage effects without committing to chemical treatments, extensions provide a safe and damage-free alternative. This means you can experiment with different tones and trends without going for a hair colour service.

Another key advantage is flexibility. Whether you want a subtle boost in thickness for everyday styling or a more dramatic, glamorous look for a special occasion, extensions can be tailored to suit your needs. They also hold styles exceptionally well, meaning curls, waves, and volume look great.

Rest assured that our extensions stylists are highly skilled and experienced.  Book a no pressure, no-obligation consultation to get started.

Hair Extensions for Hair Loss

The Racoon Hair in Recovery Programme is designed for individuals recovering from medical hair loss, including those regrowing their hair after cancer treatments such as chemotherapy.

The programme was developed in collaboration with a leading trichologist to provide solutions that prioritise appearance and hair and scalp health.  At Anthony Laban Home, our hair in recovery service is provided by Style Director Taelor, who is recognised among the top 1% of Hair in Recovery extensions experts in the UK.  These extensions are attached using Luxe Bonds - ultra-lightweight baby-bonds that are carefully placed to blend with your natural hair without damaging delicate regrowth. 

Taelor will also provide ongoing guidance to help you care for your extensions and your natural hair at home. From gentle maintenance routines to product recommendations tailored to sensitive scalps, we want you to feel confident managing your hair between appointments.

We appreciate that this can be a vulnerable time, and are here to support you every step of the way with kindness, professionalism, and respect. Every service begins with a private consultation, where Taelor will take the time to understand your journey, your hair condition, and your goals, ensuring a completely personalised and sensitive approach from start to finish. Our service is provided in a safe, supportive, and discreet environment.

Hair Extensions FAQs

Do I need a consultation before booking hair extensions?

«

Yes, a consultation is essential before any hair extension service. This allows our team at Anthony Laban Home to assess your natural hair, discuss your goals, and recommend the most suitable method for you. We’ll also colour match your extensions and explain maintenance and aftercare.

Which type of hair extensions is best for me?

«

The best method depends on your hair type, lifestyle, and desired result. We offer Links, Tapes, Wefts, and Bonds, and will guide you towards the option that will look most natural and feel most comfortable. During your consultation we can also talk through maintenance, costs, and answer any questions you may have.

Will hair extensions damage my natural hair?

«

When professionally applied and properly maintained, hair extensions should not damage your natural hair. At Anthony Laban Home, we are very skilled in creating beautiful looks with hair extensions. We use high-quality products and expert techniques to protect the health of your hair and scalp.

How long do hair extensions last?

«

The lifespan of your extensions will depend on the method used and how well they are maintained. Typically, extensions can last between 6–12 weeks before needing maintenance or repositioning.

Can I wash and style my hair as normal with extensions?

«

Yes, you can wash, blow-dry, and style your extensions much like your natural hair. With hair extensions we recommend you be as gentle as possible when washing, drying or brushing your new hair. This keeps it looking its best for as long as possible. We will provide aftercare advice and recommend the best products to keep them looking their best.

Can I colour my hair with extensions in place?

«

We recommend having your colour done before your extensions are fitted. While some extensions can be toned, colouring them is not always advised. We can perfectly match your new extensions to your hair shade. Do not worry - we’ll discuss the best approach during your consultation.

Will people be able to tell I have extensions?

«

No – when applied correctly, hair extensions should blend seamlessly with your natural hair. Our goal is always to create a flawless, natural-looking finish.

How much do hair extensions cost?

«

The cost varies depending on the method, length, thickness, and amount of hair required. We will provide a full, personalised quote during your consultation. There is no obligation to go ahead if you have any worries about the cost or anything else.

Are hair extensions suitable for fine or thinning hair?

«

Yes, certain methods such as tapes or specialised techniques can work beautifully for fine or thinning hair. We will recommend the safest and most effective option for your hair type.

Do you offer hair extensions for hair loss or medical conditions?

«

Yes, we offer specialist Hair In Recovery extensions designed for clients experiencing medical hair loss. These are gentle, trichologist-approved, and tailored to support both your hair health and confidence.
