Hair extensions

Hair extensions add 100% natural, high-quality human hair to your own strands close to the root, giving you longer, fuller hair in just one salon session. They are ideal if your hair stops growing past a certain length, if you’re growing out a short cut, or if your ponytail lacks volume. Book your hair extensions in London at PIED-DE-POULE in South Kensington or Oxford Circus (just off Soho)

What Are Hair Extensions and Who They Are For

Hair extensions are strands of real human hair attached to your own to create more length, fullness, or both. They suit anyone with fine, thin, or short hair who wants a visible change without waiting months for natural growth. Extensions offer immediate results, both for a special occasion and for an everyday change.

Our London specialists apply every set with precision, care, and an eye for what suits you best. If your hair is very fine, microcapsular extensions are usually the first option a stylist suggests.

Remy Hair: 100% Real Human Hair

All extensions at PIED-DE-POULE are made from Remy hair, which is 100% real human hair collected so that every strand keeps its cuticle, the outer protective layer, facing the same direction from root to tip. Because the cuticles lie flat and aligned, the hair doesn’t tangle or matt, catches the light like natural hair and stays smooth through washing and styling.

Remy extensions can be coloured, toned, curled and straightened just like your own hair. With proper care, one set can be removed and refitted more than once.

Hair Extension Methods at PIED-DE-POULE

We offer three professional extension methods, tailored to your natural hair type, length goals, and lifestyle:

Ice Extensions (Cold Bonding) — a cold-glue application where individual strands are attached cleanly with zero heat applied;
Micro capsule Extensions (Micro Bonds / Keratin Fusion) — discreet micro-bonds attached with gentle heat close to the scalp; ideal for fine or thin hair and completely invisible;
Tape-In Hair Extensions — lightweight, flat panels attached with medical-grade adhesive tape for a quick, seamless, and comfortable finish.

Your stylist will recommend the most suitable method during your consultation, so the result always feels like yours.

What Procedures to Combine With

Extensions look their best when your hair is healthy and well-maintained. For a complete salon experience, consider booking alongside:

Hair treatments — Olaplex, keratin, or deep conditioning to maintain hair health;
Colouring or toning — to perfectly match or blend extensions with your natural shade;
Haircut and styling — for a polished, finished look;
Manicure care — treat yourself to a full beauty session in one visit.

Your stylist can help you plan the right combination of services to make the most of your time at the salon.

How are hair extensions put in at salon PIED-DE-POULE

Consultation

Every appointment begins with a personal consultation: your stylist assesses your natural hair and scalp, discusses your goals, and recommends the most suitable method and shade.

Colour and Texture Matching

Extension hair is matched to your natural shade and texture, or blended across two tones if your colour isn't uniform. Getting this right is what makes the result invisible.

Preparation

Your hair is washed and dried so the bonds or tapes attach to clean, residue-free strands. The stylist then maps out the sections, keeping placement clear of the hairline and parting.

Professional Application

Extensions are applied section by section close to the root using the chosen method. Each attachment sits flat, so you don't feel it when running a hand through your hair.

Blending and Finishing

The stylist cuts the extensions into your own hair so the lengths merge without a visible step. Hair is then styled to show the final shape.

Aftercare Guidance

You leave with aftercare guidance for long-lasting results: how to brush, wash and sleep with extensions, and when to book a correction. We recommend pairing your extensions with a hair treatment to strengthen your natural hair and keep extensions looking their best for longer.

Benefits of Hair Extensions at PIED-DE-POULE

100% REMY HUMAN HAIR
Every set uses Remy hair with the cuticle intact and aligned, so extensions stay smooth and can be washed, coloured and styled like your own.
THREE METHODS IN ONE SALON
Ice extensions, microcapsules and tape-ins are all available, so the method is chosen for your hair rather than for what the salon happens to offer.
COLOUR MATCHED TO YOUR HAIR
Shades are matched during the appointment and two tones can be blended, so there is no visible line between your hair and the extensions.
A CLEAR PLAN BEFORE YOU START
The stylist assesses your hair and gives a full quote at the consultation, so you know the method, length and price before any hair is applied.
CORRECTIONS AND REFITTING
The same team moves extensions up as your hair grows and refits reusable sets, so you keep the result without starting over.
TWO CENTRAL LONDON SALONS
South Kensington and Oxford Circus are both open 9–21 daily, so appointments and corrections fit around your week.

FAQ

What are hair extensions?

They’re added strands of real human hair fixed near the root of your own hair. In one visit they give extra length, volume, or both.
What is Remy hair?

Remy hair is 100% human hair with the cuticle kept intact and running in one direction from root to tip. This keeps the extensions smooth, tangle-free and natural-looking for longer.
How much do hair extensions cost in London?

The cost of hair extensions in London depends on the method, hair length, and the volume needed. Prices are confirmed during your individual consultation, and your stylist will provide a full, transparent quote before starting.
What type of hair extension is best?

The best method depends on your hair type and lifestyle: tape-ins, micro bonds and ice extensions each offer different benefits.
Can I get hair extensions if I have thin, fine hair?

Yes, microcapsular and tape-in extensions are particularly well-suited for fine or thin hair.
How long does a hair extension last?

With proper care, high-quality Remy hair extensions can be reused for 6 to 12 months. However, maintenance (refitting) is required every 6 to 8 weeks as your natural hair grows.
Do tape-in hair extensions damage your hair?

Fitted and removed by a stylist, tape-ins put very little stress on natural hair because the weight is spread across a wide panel. Damage usually comes from pulling them off at home or skipping corrections.
