Hair Extensions

Authentic Locks offers luxury Russian and Slavic hair extensions tailored to individual needs. Services include micro ring, tape-in, and halo extensions for length, volume, or thickness. Our ethically sourced hair ensures a natural look and long-term durability. Clients receive bespoke colour blending and styling to match their natural hair seamlessly.

Hair Loss Solutions

We specialise in discreet hair systems for female hair loss, including alopecia and trichotillomania. Options include micro partings, integrated enhancers, and toppers made from Russian hair. Systems are semi-permanent, allowing daily wear with regular maintenance to ensure comfort and longevity.

Hair Extension Maintenance

Regular maintenance appointments ensure extensions remain secure and natural-looking. Services include repositioning extensions, replacing micro rings, and re-tipping hair to prevent shedding. Maintenance is recommended every 7-10 weeks, with costs based on time required at 5572 per hour.

Hair Integration Systems

Custom-built integration systems combine natural hair with extensions for a seamless blend. These semi-permanent solutions are ideal for significant hair thinning or loss. Systems require periodic adjustments and deep cleaning to maintain scalp health and system integrity over years of use.

Hair Extension Training

We provide training in Raw Hair Preparation techniques for salons nationwide. With 8 years of experience, our courses cover ethical sourcing, colour blending, and application methods. Training ensures salons can offer bespoke Russian hair extension services with the same quality standards as Authentic Locks.

I am in love with my new beautiful hair. After losing my hair 18 months ago, I have patiently waited for it to grow back until we found Authentic Locks. Both Lisa and Chloe made me feel so welcome and took so much care with my hair. I cannot believe the transformation. Thank you for much for spending such a long time on my hair as I know it was a big project for you given how thick my hair has grown back.
Looking forward to seeing you both again soon.

Absolutely love my extensions, Lisa is fantastic, she explained everything in the initial consultation, then during the appointment kept telling me what she was doing and chatting to me.
Took some lovely photos once they were completed
This hidden gem of a salon is a must visit if you are thinking about extensions but also if you suffer from hair loss or just want a cut and colour come and pop in
