DELIVERY / PROCESSING TIMES
We pride ourselves on offering luxury-quality hair extensions to professionals at a more accessible price without compromising on quality, consistency, craftsmanship and professional stylist support. To keep our prices low, we operate on a 3 - 5 working day dispatch, and 4 - 7 working day delivery time for all UK orders.
What to expect:
UK Order Dispatch: 3 - 5 working days | Delivery: 3 - 7 working days tracked.
International Order Dispatch: 3 - 5 working days | Delivery: 3 - 8 working days tracked.
By working directly with our suppliers, we eliminate any warehouse mark-up’s and pass those savings directly on to you the stylist / salon.
Some items may need one extra day of dispatch due to the delicate hand testing and production of 26 - 30” length extensions.

Tape or Seamless Tape-in Hair Extensions are super quick to install, especially due to one sandwich of tape-in’s being 5g compared to 5g of Nano Ring Extensions. If you’re adding 100g of hair, you only need to install 20 sandwiches, this can be done (in freshly washed hair) in 30-40 mins.
Most stylists come across issues when removing and reinstalling the tape-in extensions, due to the residual glue.
What we suggest when maintaining tape-in extensions is that there are two ways of approaching this removal and reinstall process to save the stylist time.
1. The client purchases two sets of hair extensions, you the stylist can then keep the removed extensions and assign separate timing to remove all glue and re-prepare the extensions for the customers next visit.
2. You remove the tape-in extensions, apply a safe talc powder to the tabs to dry up any residue and remover. At the same time, you can remove all residue from the clients hair with an oil based tape remover, and then proceed to thoroughly wash and condition the clients hair before drying - ready for reinstallation.
You can remove any residual glue from the tape tabs with a hair extensions scraper or your choice of non-damaging removal, before adding the new tape and re-installing.
