Micro Bonds Extensions
SAFEST AND DISCREET METHOD
Who are they for?
Micro Bonds are great for clients who
- like to place hair extensions further forward or lower down at the nape compared to other methods
- prefer wearing a method that is permanent and more hard-wearing than other methods
OVERVIEW
What are micro bond hair extensions?
Micro Bond Hair Extensions are the smallest, most discreet and versatile way of adding hair extensions.
A high level of technical skill is needed to perform this method and so it is not widely offered in regular salons. As a specialist salon, we offer this method to our clients who cannot have the micro ring or tape method fitted as their hair is lacking density at the root.
When we first meet a client, usually at a consultation, we start by thinking of how to safely fit hair extensions at the first appointment and for many many years after. So that - in ten years time we know that we can achieve the same result for a client as we did at their first appointment.

Micro Bonding - see how we do it!
Small Micro Bonds made of keratin resin - the same protein found in hair and nails - are formed by hand. Each bond is adjustable in size, and can be matched to each client's hair density carefully.
The bond is small and very discreet, especially when a root to tip colour match is achieved. When bonds are added, volume is built up slowly but the results are supremely natural as the hair moves freely and integrates easily into the client's own hair.
A SAFE AND DISCREET METHOD
Our Service Explained
Micro Bond Hair Extensions are fitted by taking a small safe section of a client's own hair and rolling a keratin tipped strand of hair around it with our fingertips, creating a bond the size of a grain of rice.
This method requires a higher level of technical skill than others and is the safest and most reliable method of adding hair for those client's with finer hair types or who want to add hair in more sensitive areas safely, to create a particular result.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Still Have Questions?
What we get asked about micro bonds..
Can I still get my hair dyed while wearing this method?
Yes, it is totally fine to dye the roots of your own hair while wearing hair extensions.
We advise that you apply the dye to the halo section of your hair, where there are no hair extensions, and avoid painting on the dye directly on top of the bonds.
For anyone who is concerned about the underneath not being dyed as regularly, we recommend pairing an appointment for colour with your removal/refit so that the underneath part does get refreshed once every 3 months.
For other clients who are not trying to cover grey or don't have colour applied to their roots regularly, allowing the underneath part of the hair to grow out natural is very common.
Does this method use glue - I don't like the sound of that at all....?!?
Will my colleagues, partner and friends know I'm wearing hair extensions?
