100% Russian human hair extensions
The Russian human hair extensions that we use are the highest
quality. The extensions are easy on your hair, have a very
natural look and are easy to maintain.
Our specialist stylist has been trained in human hair extension
technology and application. A corn row weave pattern is introduced
into your hair and the weft of Russian hair is then sewn to
the corn rows. This system is unnoticeable because the natural
hair is braided into the corn rows and cannot be seen.
We do not use adhesives or heat in this process and no damage
is done to your natural hair – we simply achieve a great
result!
We have a full range of hair extension colours for you to
select from. To see more examples of the types of human hair
extensions that we can offer please click

Hair Extensions - Frequently Asked Questions
Q. How long can I keep my hair weave in?
A. Weaves can last for up to 3 months, if properly maintained
by the client.
Q. How should I wash my weave and what shampoo should
I use?
A. It is best to use a mild shampoo with a low pH. Apply
the shampoo to the palm of your hand, rub hands gently together
and rub into hair. Take care not to massage too vigorously
to avoid extensions matting.
Q. Should I use a conditioner?
A. Conditioners can be used but they can clog up the base
of the weave. Conditioners tend also to leave a residue on
the base of the weave, so it is important to thoroughly rinse
out the conditioner when used on hair extensions. It is best
to use Leave-in conditioners.
Q. What if my weave is too tight and causing me to
have migraine or have difficulty sleeping?
A. Rinse the hair using warm water on the scalp to help loosen
tension caused by the weave extensions. If this does not help
the hair extensions should be removed. Weaves that are too
tight can cause tension on the follicles and break the hair.
Also, tightness of the weave can cause traction alopecia,
which may result in permanent baldness.
It will be evident from this detail that you should always
have your hair extensions applied and maintained by a trained
specialist.
We have clients from Manchester, Liverpool, Preston, Southport,
Wigan and across Lancashire who visit us for the quality of
our human hair extensions.
- Katie Daley manages the Walton Vale salon and is a specialist in Hair Extensions. Here are her views on the different types of hair used for extensions:-
Russian Hair. This is the best quality hair. It is well processed and well prepared. We can colour it, highlight it and basically treat it like your own hair. If cared for, it should last around a year. Price guide £600 - £800.
Superior Indian Hair. This is also high quality hair, with a different texture to European hair. It can be darkened but only slightly lightened and is suitable for those with naturally dark hair who don’t need to lighten it. Price guide £450 - £700.
Remi Hair. This is a mixture of good human hair, mainly from Mediterranean sources. Price guide £400 - 500.
Basic Hair. This is still human hair, but basic quality. It will not last as long as the better quality hair but us quite a lot cheaper. Price guide £150 - £200.
Wefts - not glued or bonded
With each of these human hair products, the wefts are tailored to the client’s hair and cut to length. All of our wefts are stitched into your hair, not glued. Wefts simply require re-tightening every 6 – 8 weeks, whilst glued or bonded hair needs to be replaced.
Temporary Hair Extensions
For special occasions we can apply temporary panels, giving you flashes of colour by using small wefts.
