Your consultation is the most important part of the extensions process… and the great thing about Platinum Expert Hair is they really take their time with each client.
During your consultation, discuss your desired shade, the length and volume you’re aiming for, and any concerns you may have regarding maintenance.
If you are unsure about what type of extensions you should go for, your stylist will be able to tell you what may work best for your hair and your desired look.
If you prefer to wear your hair up a lot you may prefer to go for a bond rather than a tape, but your stylist will be able to give you all the info you need!

Trust us on this one, extensions or not everyone should have the Platinum brush!
The large vents at the back of the brush allow air to flow through the hair evenly when drying, which reduces heat damage while cutting down your blow-drying time.
This brush gets tangles out effortlessly and is the perfect extensions brush to prevent any matting.
