Here at the Hair bar we offer a wide variety of hair extensions. To ensure the right technique is suitable for your hair you will need a bespoke consultation with one of our hair extension specialists, this consultation is free of charge.
Not every hair extension method is right for everyone’s hair and that is why it is so important for us to have a face to face consultation so we can see what would be best for your hair. We use a well known hair extension supplier & only use ‘Brazilian Gold Remy hair’ the quality of the hair is very important, it effects how long the hair will stay glossy and fresh and stops your natural hair being damaged by knots and tangles.
The 3 methods we offer are
– Tape
– Micro-beads
– Nano-beads
None of the methods are damaging as long as you follow the after care carefully which we will provide you with a booklet to help keep your hair in the best condition for when it comes to maintenance or removal.

Myth 1 – “Wearing make-up every day is bad for your skin”
I’m sure if you caked on a ton of make up every day, your skin may not thank you for it. Although if you are consistent with good quality make up every day AND you remove it thoroughly before bed, then all will be well. The key is the removal!
Myth 2 – “Nail polish stops your nails from breathing”
False! We hear this so often, your nails are dead cells. They get all of their nutrition and oxygen from your blood stream, not the air.
Myth 3 – “Going out in the sun can help dry out acne”
The sun WILL dry out your skin, but your skin will react by secreting more oils to compensate. This can lead to blocked pores and ultimately more breakouts, not to mention sun damage!
Myth 4 – “If you pluck a grey hair, two more will grow back in its place”
I’m sure you’ve all heard this one before! Truth is, it’s not the case.. each hair grows from a single follicle. You may remove that hair, but another will grow back in its place. Plucking them won’t encourage two to grow, but neither will it stop the transition to silver fox!
Myth 5 -“Eyelash extensions damage the natural lashes”
As long as a correct application is carried out, eyelash extensions should not damage the natural lashes. The right size and shape should be selected, and each extension should be placed on an individual lash and allowed to drop off with the natural lash growth cycle.
Myth 6 – “Only dry skin needs moisturiser”
ALL skin needs moisturising and moisture. If you have oily skin, then cleanse to remove your excess oil. But, if you don’t moisturise afterwards, your skin will produce more oil to replenish the oil that it has lost. You should use a gentle cleanser and a light hydrating moisturiser to help keep skin radiant, nourished and balanced.
Myth 7 – “Shaving makes you r hair grow back thicker and darker”
Now, this is more of an optical illusion. The hair appears thicker and darker as the hair has been chopped. So, it isn’t a soft, fine point like the hair would be if it naturally grew, but blunt and stubbly. So thankfully the hair isn’t actually coarser. But the hair will grow back appearing finer if you wax or tweeze it.
Myth 8 – “White spots on your nails means you need more calcium.”
False, If you get the odd white mark on your nail it actually means you banged your finger above the nail (matrix) and caused a little damage while it was developing… So simple. If you get lots of white marks on every nail, however, it’s likely that you have a deficiency. So be sure to get it checked out. But the odd one here and there doesn’t mean you need to go and guzzle a pint of milk.
What is a Russian manicure/pedicure and why is it a must for every nail appointment?
A Russian manicure/pedicure is a technique that makes use of an electronic file to remove the excess skin surrounding your nail bed. The cuticle attachments are super fine and gentle so to avoid any damage to the nail bed or surrounding skin. It’s to avoid cutting the cuticle area too aggressively and allows the nail technician to be more in control, compared to when using nippers. This technique leaves your nails perfectly trimmed and smooth around the edges, resulting in a very clean finished look.
Not only does this method provide a clean and tidy appearance, it also allows your manicure/pedicure to last a lot longer due to the paint covering more nail area.
