Hair extension prices in London vary depending on the method, the length of hair required, and the salon. As a general guide: tape-in extensions typically range from £250 to £600 for a full head, nano bond extensions range from £300 to £800, and weft extensions range from £400 to £900. At HairNova Finchley, our prices reflect the premium quality of our hair and the expertise of our stylists. We offer a free consultation before every extension appointment to recommend the right method for your hair type, lifestyle, and budget. All extension hair is ethically sourced and carefully colour-matched to your natural hair. Contact us on 020 8129 4894 to discuss pricing.
Tape-in extensions use a thin weft of hair attached with a semi-permanent adhesive strip. They sit flat against the scalp, are ideal for adding volume and length, and typically last 6–8 weeks before needing repositioning. They suit medium to thick hair best. Nano bond extensions use a tiny metal ring to attach individual strands to small sections of your natural hair. They leave no adhesive residue, cause less heat stress, and are particularly suitable for finer hair types. Nano bonds typically last 3–4 months before needing maintenance. At HairNova Finchley, our stylists assess your hair type and lifestyle during a free consultation to recommend the most suitable method for you.
The time required depends on the method and volume of hair needed. Tape-in extensions for a full head typically take 1.5 to 2.5 hours. Nano bond extensions for a full head take longer — usually 3 to 5 hours — as each strand is applied individually. A half head or volume set takes approximately 1 to 2 hours. We recommend booking a free 20-minute consultation first so our stylists can assess your hair and give you an accurate time estimate before your fitting appointment. Same-day consultations and fitting appointments are sometimes available. Call 020 8129 4894 to check availability.
Yes, HairNova Finchley offers student discounts on selected services with a valid student ID. We recommend calling ahead on 020 8129 4894 or messaging us on Instagram to confirm current offers before booking, as terms may vary by service. Our salon is conveniently located steps from Finchley Central Underground, making it easily accessible for students across North and Central London. We are committed to making premium hair services accessible without compromising on quality or the expertise of our stylists.
We strongly recommend a consultation before every extension appointment, and we offer this free of charge at HairNova Finchley. During the consultation, our stylist will assess your natural hair condition, discuss your desired look, and recommend the most suitable extension method and volume for your hair type and lifestyle. This ensures the best possible result and helps us colour-match the extension hair accurately to your natural shade. Consultations take approximately 20 minutes and can sometimes be combined with a same-day fitting if availability allows. Book your free consultation by calling 020 8129 4894.
Proper maintenance extends the life of your extensions significantly. Brush from the ends upward using a soft-bristle or loop brush at least twice daily, never from root to tip. Wash with sulphate-free shampoo and avoid applying conditioner directly to the bonds or tape roots. Sleep with your hair in a loose braid to prevent tangling. Avoid excessive heat at the root area and always use a heat protectant when styling. We recommend coming back every 6–8 weeks for tape-in repositioning, or every 3–4 months for nano bond maintenance. At HairNova Finchley, we provide a full aftercare guide with every extension appointment.
It depends on the type of colouring and your extension method. We can apply toners, glosses, and certain colour treatments to extension hair at HairNova Finchley, but we do not recommend bleaching or lightening extension hair as this can cause significant damage and breakage. If you want to change your hair colour, we recommend doing so before your extension fitting so we can colour-match the extension hair to your new shade accurately. Always inform your stylist about any colour treatments you are considering. We offer professional colour services at HairNova Finchley and can advise the safest approach for your specific extensions.
Hair extensions are suitable for most hair types, but the best method varies depending on your natural hair. Tape-in extensions work best for medium to thick hair with good density. Nano bond extensions are ideal for fine or thin hair as the small individual bonds are lightweight and less visible. Weft extensions suit thicker hair types well. Extensions are generally not recommended for very damaged, over-processed, or extremely fine hair until the hair has been strengthened. At HairNova Finchley, our stylists assess your hair thoroughly during a free consultation to confirm suitability and recommend the safest, most flattering method for your specific hair type.
Yes. At HairNova Finchley, we use only premium quality, ethically sourced human hair for all our extension services. We carefully select our hair suppliers to ensure the hair is collected responsibly and that donors are fairly compensated. All extension hair is Remy grade, meaning the cuticles run in the same direction, which reduces tangling and ensures a natural look and feel that blends seamlessly with your own hair. We do not use synthetic hair or mixed-grade hair in any of our extension services. If you have questions about the sourcing of specific hair products we use, our stylists are happy to discuss this during your consultation.
You can book at HairNova Finchley in three ways. First, call us directly on 020 8129 4894 during salon hours — Tuesday to Saturday — and our team will find the most suitable appointment for you. Second, book online 24 hours a day through our Fresha booking page, where you can select your service, preferred stylist, and appointment time. Third, message us on Instagram @hairnovafinchley for availability and we will confirm your booking. We recommend booking consultations at least a few days in advance, though we do occasionally have same-day availability. For extension fittings, we recommend booking one to two weeks ahead, especially on Saturdays.
If you experience any issues with your extensions between scheduled appointments — such as a bond slipping, a tape losing adhesion, or an extension feeling loose — contact HairNova Finchley as soon as possible. We offer repair appointments for extensions fitted at our salon and will assess the issue and resolve it quickly. Minor repairs are often straightforward and can be completed in a short appointment. Do not attempt to remove or reattach extensions yourself as this can cause damage to your natural hair. Call us on 020 8129 4894 or message us on Instagram @hairnovafinchley to arrange a repair appointment at the earliest convenience.
