About Hair Extensions
Hair that
looks like
yours.
Good extensions come down to three things: hair that matches yours, a method that suits your hair type, and someone who fits them properly. We spend a lot of time on all three.
We fit Beauty Works Platinum Lengths and Cast hair extensions, 100% human hair matched to your natural colour and any balayage or highlights you have, so the join is invisible even when your hair is up. Depending on how fine or thick your hair is and how you wear it, we'll suggest nano rings, tape-ins, a weft or bonds. Each sits differently on the head and needs a different kind of upkeep, and we'll be honest about which one will actually work for you.
Extensions are one of the things ELM in Wrexham is best known for. Emma, Jess, Kelly and Sinead all specialise in them, so you'll be with someone who fits extensions every week, not now and again. Every set starts with a free consultation where we colour-match, talk through length and volume, and tell you what to expect in cost and time before you book anything.
What to Expect
How It Works
Consultation and colour match
We look at your hair, talk about the length and volume you want and how you live with your hair day to day. We match the extension hair to your colour in natural light and agree the method and price. It's free.
Fitting day
We order your hair in, then fit it section by section, checking it sits flat and comfortable. Once it's all in we cut and blend it into your own hair and style it, so you leave with a finished look, not a work in progress. Allow two to four hours depending on the method.
Maintenance and removal
As your hair grows the extensions move down, so most methods need moving up every 6 to 8 weeks. We show you how to brush, wash and sleep with them, and when it's time we remove them gently and reuse the hair where we can.

Had an app with Jess and, just wow. She turned me back into the bright blonde I should be. Proper blonde colour technician and I will definitely be using her from now on.
Always a pleasure to see Marie, such a friendly, helpful, professional service carried out by her, spot-on, wonderful!
Fantastic haircut and welcoming, friendly staff. Left feeling so relaxed and like a milllion dollars! Would highly recommend.
I don’t know why I’ve never reviewed before but being going to Jess for a while now. Lovely girl, laugh and chat the whole time and very good at what she does.
Marie is always attentive and professional and would highly recommend her services.
So having to put trust in a hair dresser is very hard for me, ive been suffering for years with my scalp and finding a hairdresser that can tackle this aswell as give me confidence with my hair over the years has been a struggle. I came to Emma with a big job at hand and not only did she make me feel comfortable she tackled the unthinkable. My skin test on my first appointment she was honest with me and said right let's tackle the cut and get a plan in motion with the scalp, 2nd appointment in and my scalp was completely clear omg years of suffering with psoriasis and I one session I felt a million dollars! Aswell as this she tackled a bodged haircut which made me feel uncomfortable to even have my hair styled. 3rd appointment she corrected a years worth of failed bleach and uneven tones aswell as overlapping that I couldn't see underneath, not only did I walk out with an even colour, but I walked out with a smile, she's been very honest on where to go moving forward and im so excited for my hair journey! Highly recommend Emma and her team so welcoming made me feel comfortable 😊 Emma is amazing and I can't thank her enough for the confidence I now feel. Best hairdressers in wrexham by far!
Extension FAQs
Good to Know
It depends on the method, the length you want and how much hair it takes to look natural, so there isn't one price. At your free consultation we'll colour-match, work out how much hair you need and give you an exact price for the hair and the fitting together, before you book anything.
The hair itself lasts around 6 to 12 months with good care, sometimes longer, and can usually be refitted at your maintenance appointments. The fitting needs moving up every 6 to 8 weeks as your own hair grows. We'll tell you at your consultation what to expect from the method you choose.
Not when they're fitted and looked after properly. Damage usually comes from the wrong method for your hair type, extensions left in too long, or rough removal. We choose the method to suit your hair, keep to sensible maintenance gaps and remove them carefully, and we'll always tell you if we think your hair isn't ready for them yet.
Usually nano rings or tape-ins, because they're small, light and sit flat, so they don't pull or show through. Wefts can work on fine hair too if we keep the amount of hair sensible. We'll look at your hair at the consultation and be honest about what will and won't hold.
Somewhere between two and four hours depending on the method and how much hair you're having, plus your consultation beforehand. Tape-ins and wefts are at the quicker end, individual nano or bonded strands take longer. Maintenance appointments are shorter.
Brush gently from the ends up with an extension brush, wash with a sulphate-free shampoo and keep conditioner away from the joins, dry the roots properly, and sleep with your hair in a loose plait. We'll go through it all with you at your fitting and give you the products we actually recommend, nothing you don't need.
