What hair do you use?
+We work exclusively with premium, natural Slavic human hair.
Will extensions damage my natural hair?
+Not when weight, placement, maintenance and aftercare are correct - we prioritise hair health and comfort.
How often will I need maintenance?
+Typically every 1-2 months, depending on hair growth, the extension method and your home routine.
Is itching or tightness normal after extensions?
+A mild adjustment period can happen in the first 7-10 days. If it continues, we'll check placement and tension.
How do I know how much hair I need?
+We confirm the method plus grams/sections at your consultation, based on your hair and desired result.
Can I swim or work out with extensions?
+Yes - secure the hair (for example, a braid), rinse after swimming, and dry the attachment area properly.
Do you reuse hair at refit?
+Often yes - if the hair condition is still excellent, we can reuse it via our Refill system after assessment.
When should I book Scalp Peeling and Cold Treatment if I wear hair extensions?
+Scalp Peeling every 3-4 weeks. Cold Treatment is ideal at each maintenance/refit (or when lengths feel dry).
Can I have Scalp Peeling while wearing extensions?
+Yes - we cleanse the scalp and partings around attachments, without disturbing bonds or tapes.
What is Scalp Peeling, and who is it for?
+A professional scalp cleanse to lift build-up, oil and flakes - ideal if your scalp feels itchy, heavy or irritated.
How often should I have Scalp Peeling?
+Maintenance: every 1-1.5 months. Course: every 7-10 days short-term if there's active build-up/flaking.
Does Scalp Peeling help with shedding?
+It can help when shedding is linked to build-up or scalp inflammation. If shedding is sudden or heavy, we'll advise next steps.
Cold vs hot treatments - what's the difference?
+Cold Treatment repairs and strengthens without straightening. Hot treatments are for smoothing/straighter finish.
What hair is it best for?
+Dry, damaged, bleached, over-styled or breaking hair.
What's best for London hard water hair?
+Usually Scalp Peeling plus Cold Treatment - remove build-up first, then repair the lengths.
Can I book Cold Treatment after colouring?

Is one session enough?
+One session can help, but a course recommended by your specialist gives the best long-term results.

+It repairs hair internally using patented keratin bonding technology.
Can I do Tokio Inkarami after colouring?
+Yes - it's ideal for coloured/bleached hair when you want deep repair and shine.

How long does the result last?
+Results last longer with a course (every 4-5 weeks) and the right aftercare.

Can I have Hair SPA Rituals with extensions?

Do you offer formaldehyde-free hot smoothing?
+Yes - our Hot Smoothing Hair Treatments are formaldehyde-free.
Can I colour and do a Hot Smoothing treatment on the same day?
