Hair extensions at Fich+Ramous

Choosing a salon to install your hair extensions can be difficult as they may promote
different fixing methods and hair types.

We hope that this page will give you the knowledge to make an informed choice.

why use hair extensions?

Whether you want an overnight change in your appearance, or your extensions are to help with a hair problem - the big advance in extension technology in the last 5 years has allowed specialist salons to offer systems that are more natural, durable and easier to maintain.

A change to your hair style can be more dramatic and effective than any amount of make-up or designer clothes. Therefore, a "new look" is the main reason our clients visit us.

Long locks can be added to increase length, shorter sections can boost body and volume - or localised additions can create impact with a new fringe or accentuated crown.

Hair extensions also offer great solutions for people who have areas of thinning or damage though over-use of tongs or colouring products

types of hair

There is a lot of misinformation and lack of knowledge surrounding hair extensions. Even professional salons can mislead by a lack of understanding.

Some of the latest buzzwords and fads are Remy & Racoon and our expert can explain why (or if) these terms are relevant to you. Remy hair is not always Indian in origin as it relates to the direction of the cuticle and Racoon is a well marketed brand name.

Fich+Ramous use only natural human hair from all over the globe and your extensions are ordered specifically for you ( which is why we ask for a deposit when you order). Many salons will proclaim they use "only European hair" - but we offer all kinds of human hair with the variety of textures that are needed to satisfy the needs of diverse clients.

Depending on the style you chose, the positioning of the additions, the attachment method preferred and the unique characteristics of your own hair - we will advise you of the best solution for you.

fixing methods

There are many different methods used to attach hair extensions, and despite the advice of some salons, we believe that no one system is better than the other.

Everything is dependent upon the factors we will explore with you in your consultation. We will want to study your hair & scalp, talk about your work and leisure activities and decide what maintenance regime suits you and your lifestyle.

Once you understand how these issues can effect your hair we can look at strand bonding or weaving & plaiting and we can explain how the different techniques can effect comfort, durability, styling and maintenance.
