Hair Extension FAQ

At Makai Hairdressing I offer a range of professional hair extension methods including tape-in extensions, nano ring extensions, and pre-bonded (keratin) extensions. Each method is chosen depending on your hair type, lifestyle, and the look you would like to achieve.

Most hair extensions last around three months before maintenance is required. After this time they usually need to be lifted or refitted as your natural hair grows.

When applied professionally and maintained correctly, hair extensions should not damage your natural hair. I always assess the condition of your hair first to make sure extensions are suitable for you.

Yes, you can wash, curl, and style your hair as usual. I will also provide guidance on the best products and techniques to keep both your natural hair and extensions in great condition.

A full hair extension appointment usually takes between three to four hours, depending on the method used and the amount of hair being applied.

Yes, a consultation is recommended. During the consultation we discuss your desired look, match the colour perfectly, and decide on the most suitable extension method for you.

Absolutely. Hair extensions are not only for adding length, they are also perfect for creating volume and fullness, especially for finer hair.

Proper care includes gentle brushing, using recommended hair products, and tying your hair loosely at night. I will explain everything during your appointment so your extensions last as long as possible.

Human hair extensions can sometimes be toned or coloured, but this should always be done professionally to protect the quality of the hair.

The cost depends on the method used and the amount of hair required. After your consultation I will provide a personalised quote based on the look you would like to achieve.

Highlights

If you’re craving a noticeable yet stylish change, full head highlights could be exactly what you need. This technique works through your entire hair, creating a balanced, multi-tonal finish that catches the light and gives your style a fresh, vibrant feel.

Whether you want to go lighter for a sun-kissed effect, add contrast for extra texture, or refresh dull, flat colour, full head highlights offer a versatile solution that suits every season and hair type. They can soften facial features, boost volume visually, and bring movement and life to even the simplest haircut.

From natural blends to bold, statement shades, highlights allow you to personalise your colour while maintaining a professional, polished result. If you’re looking for a transformation that feels modern, luminous, and full of depth, this is a colour service that truly delivers lasting impact.  

Hair Colouring

Our hair colouring service is perfect for clients looking for rich, even, all-over colour that enhances shine and transforms their look. Whether you want to cover grey hair, refresh your natural shade, or try something completely new, our expert stylists create beautifully balanced results tailored to you.

Using professional colour products and personalised consultations, we ensure your hair colour suits your skin tone, lifestyle, and hair condition. From natural brunettes and radiant reds to glossy blondes and bold statement shades, hair colouring delivers long-lasting vibrancy with a smooth, flawless finish.

Balayage

Unlike traditional highlights, balayage is hand-painted onto the hair to create a soft, blended effect that adds depth, dimension, and movement. This technique works on all hair types and lengths, making it a versatile option for anyone looking to refresh their colour without harsh lines or frequent touch-ups.

Balayage not only brightens your overall appearance but also gives your hair a low-maintenance, effortlessly stylish finish that grows out naturally. Whether you want subtle, delicate highlights or a bolder, more dramatic transformation, balayage is a professional colouring choice that delivers long-lasting, radiant results.
