Question 1

What types of hair extensions do you offer?

At Scarlet Hair, we offer both Great Lengths Keratin Bond Extensions and Tape Hair Extensions, including premium J’adore Tape Extensions. During your consultation, we’ll recommend the most suitable method based on your hair type, lifestyle, budget, and desired result.

Question 2

What’s the difference between Keratin Bond and Tape Extensions?

Accepted Answer

Keratin Bond Extensions are individually attached strands that create a very natural, seamless finish with great movement and flexibility. Tape Extensions are applied in lightweight wefts, making them ideal for faster application and clients wanting added volume or length with a comfortable, discreet feel.

Question 3

Which hair extension method is best for me?

Accepted Answer

The best method depends on your hair density, lifestyle, styling habits, and goals. During your consultation, we’ll assess your hair and recommend whether Keratin Bonds or Tape Extensions will achieve the most natural and suitable result for you.

Question 4

Do I need a consultation before getting hair extensions?

Accepted Answer

In most cases, yes. A consultation allows us to assess your hair, discuss your goals, and colour match your extensions to ensure the best possible result.

However, we do have selected J’adore Tape Extensions in stock and ready for same-day installs. If your hair is suitable, we may be able to proceed without a separate consultation.

Question 5

Can I get hair extensions installed on the same day as my colour?

Your stylist will assess your hair condition and timing to ensure everything is suitable and achieves the best outcome.
