Will I lose any of my own hair during the removal?

No matter which method you chose to have, your hair extensions will have been in place for a considerable amount of time. During that time, some of your individual hairs have shed, which is a natural process. These hairs have been held in place by the bonds and so at removal, these hairs will be released and will fall away. However, your hair will look exactly the same as it did prior to having your hair extensions fitted.

What is different at Slay in terms of the removal process why is there no damage?

Damage from hair extensions can occurs when DIY experiments take place, or when an inexperienced, under-qualified person is involved. At Slay, the removal process is as important as the fitting process and take the time to do it right, with the best professional products and qualified, experienced hair extensionist – damage should never ever be a problem.

Are Hair Extensions suitable for me?

Hair extensions are suitable for the vast majority of clients. Your own hair will be examined at consultation, and Slay will be able to advise you if you are unsuitable for hair extensions. This is a very rare occurrence.

Will the hair extensions be too heavy for my own hair?

We are aware that some clients are concerned about how the hair extensions feel to wear – Will they be too heavy? We are able to offer our clients a trial of the hair extensions. It is very easy to fit one or two, and hide them in your hair, so that you can see how they feel over a few days or a week. There is a small cost for this service but it gives you an opportunity to try hair extensions for yourself. We offer a good choice of methods and hair so that we can get the best fit for all of our clients. Hair Extensions should feel comfortable to wear and should not feel heavy.

Do I have to give my hair a 'rest' in between having hair extensions?

No, this is not necessary. Professional hair extensions do not damage your hair. There is no benefit to giving your hair a ‘rest’ in between unless you would like a break from the upkeep involved with hair extensions.

Can I dye my hair extensions if I feel like changing hair colour?

Yes, you can hair extensions can be dyed in the same way as your own hair can. However, if you are attempting a drastic hair colour change, you should try some of the hair dye on both your own hair and the hair extension hair, as they may react slightly differently to the drastic hair colour change and we do not recommend lightening the hair. Slay can not be healed responsible for the outcome of your hair extensions if you decided to dye them.
