Frequently Asked Questions

Will Crochet Extensions damage my hair?
No, this is a completely protective method that encourages new, healthier growth faster than other hair extensions.

How do I maintain my Crochet Extensions ?

Can I wash my Crochet Extensions ?
Washing is not recommended, as it can loosen the natural plaits and disrupt the invisible hairline. If absolutely necessary, wash just before your 4-week Mini Maintenance session.
What is a Mini Maintenance?
This service is offered after 4 weeks for £45 and lasts about an hour. It includes filling in gaps with new hair, detangling, restyling, and trimming to restore the hair to its original look.

What hair is used for Crochet Extensions ?
Synthetic crochet extension hair is usually made from Kanekalon or Toyokalon Fibers. Real human hair options are available upon request.

Can you fix Crochet Extensions fitted by another stylist?
Yes, repairs are possible at a rate of £55 per hour.

Are deposits refundable?
No, deposits are completely non-refundable. As they are used to order hair in advance, reserve your slot from other potential clients.
Can I change my fitting date?
Yes, with at least 3 weeks' notice. Changes within 3 weeks require a new deposit, as last-minute cancellations can result in a full day of lost work.
Do you remove Crochet Extensions ?
Yes, removal costs £55 and usually takes around 2 hours. If you remove them yourself or use another stylist, I am not responsible for the workmanship.
Do you travel?
No, fittings are only available in Ashford, Kent. However, I occasionally tour, so check my page for updates. International bookings are available upon request.
Do you service children?
No, fittings are only available for clients aged 18 and over.

How do I book an appointment?
Fill out the booking form on my website. I will get in touch within 24 hours to arrange a date.
Can I bring a friend with me?
No, I operate a strict no plus-one policy as it can be a distraction and lengthen the fitting time.
Do you have a late fee?
Yes, there is a £10 charge for every 15 minutes late, as I have other appointments scheduled after yours and want to avoid disruptions.
