Hair Extensions
About Our Hair Extensions
Hair extensions are one of the quickest ways to transform your look — adding length you've been growing out for years, volume that fine hair can't hold on its own, or simply the confidence of thick, flowing hair. At John Richards Hairdressing in Allington, Maidstone, every set of extensions is applied by Lauren Barwick, our senior stylist and fully qualified extensions specialist, so you're in expert hands from consultation to final style.
More information
We work exclusively with two of the industry's most respected brands, Remi Cachet and Maxwell Melia. Both are premium, ethically sourced human hair, chosen for their natural movement, durability and flawless colour match. Because the hair is real, you can wash, heat-style and treat it just like your own — and it keeps its condition far longer than cheaper synthetic alternatives.
Choosing the right method
No two heads of hair are the same, which is why we offer three different application methods. The best choice depends on your hair type, the result you're after and how much maintenance suits your routine:
- Tape Extensions — lightweight wefts that sit flat against the head for a seamless, invisible finish. Quick to apply and gentle to wear, they're ideal for fine to medium hair. We use 100% Remi Cachet hair for tape extensions.
- Micro / Nano Ring Extensions — individual strands secured with tiny rings, with no heat, glue or tape involved. Nano rings are even smaller than micro rings, making them perfect for finer hair where discretion matters. Available in Remi Cachet and Maxwell Melia.
- Weft Extensions — a continuous weft that adds full, even volume and length across the head. A great option for thicker hair and a fuller, longer-lasting result. Available in Remi Cachet and Maxwell Melia.
What to expect
Every extension journey starts with a personal consultation. Lauren will assess your natural hair, talk through the look you want, recommend the most suitable method and colour-match your hair precisely. Because pricing depends on the method, the amount of hair and the length required, you'll receive a bespoke, no-obligation quotation before anything is booked in — so there are no surprises.
Once fitted, your extensions are cut, blended and styled to flow naturally with your own hair. We'll also talk you through simple aftercare and the right maintenance schedule to keep them looking their best, whether that's re-taping, moving the rings up as your hair grows, or refitting your weft.
