Premium Hair Extensions in Glasgow

Hair extensions at Obsidian Clinics, located inside Beauty Beehive at 101 St Georges Road, Glasgow G3 6JA, are fitted using 100% Remy human hair — the highest quality extension hair available. Remy hair retains its natural cuticle alignment, meaning it lies flat, stays tangle-free, and blends seamlessly with your natural hair for a completely undetectable result.

We offer three application methods: nano ring extensions for a discreet, damage-minimising bond that requires no glue or heat; tape-in extensions for a flat, natural-looking weft that is ideal for finer hair types; and clip-in extensions for temporary, flexible wear that can be fitted and removed at home. Each method is selected based on your natural hair type, density, and lifestyle.

All extension appointments begin with a detailed consultation and colour-matching process to ensure the extension hair perfectly matches your own. Extensions are blended and cut into your natural hair on the day of fitting, and a full aftercare and maintenance regime is provided. Maintenance and infill appointments are recommended every 6–8 weeks to keep extensions looking their best.

Benefits of Hair Extensions at Obsidian

The Hair Extensions Process

01

Consultation & Colour Match

Your stylist assesses your natural hair and selects the perfect extension shade and texture to match; application method discussed and confirmed based on your hair type and lifestyle.

02

Strand Test

A strand test ensures the extension hair matches colour and texture precisely; any tonal adjustments are made before the full fitting to guarantee a flawless result.

03

Section & Fit

Hair sectioned methodically and extensions fitted row by row according to the chosen method — nano ring, tape-in, or clip-in — working from nape to crown.

04

Blend & Cut In

Once fitted, extensions are cut and blended into your natural hair to create a seamless, natural result that is entirely undetectable from the outside.

05

Style & Aftercare

Hair blow-dried and styled; full aftercare regime and maintenance schedule explained, including recommended products and brushing technique to protect the bonds.

Aftercare Advice

  • Brush gently from the ends upward using a loop or tangle-teezer brush — never drag from the root
  • Wash with a sulphate-free, extension-safe shampoo; avoid products containing alcohol near the bonds
  • Sleep with hair in a loose braid to prevent tangling and matting overnight
  • Do not apply heat or styling products directly to the bond or tape area
  • Book maintenance appointments every 6–8 weeks to have extensions moved up as your natural hair grows
  • Extensions should always be removed professionally — never attempt to pull or cut them out at home

Suitable Candidates & Contraindications

  • Suitable for most hair types and lengths; minimum natural hair length of approximately 6–8 cm required
  • A strand test is required for clients with very fine, thin, or previously chemically treated hair
  • Not recommended for clients with active scalp conditions such as eczema or psoriasis in the extension area
  • Clients undergoing certain medical treatments that affect hair strength should advise at consultation
  • Very short or fine hair near the root may not provide sufficient anchor strength for all methods — alternatives discussed at consultation
  • Extensions are not recommended during periods of active hair loss or thinning without prior consultation

Frequently Asked Questions

Nano ring and tape-in extensions typically last 12–16 weeks per application, after which they will need to be removed and re-applied as your natural hair grows. With proper aftercare, the extension hair itself can often be reused for multiple applications, making it a cost-effective long-term investment.

Extensions should always be removed professionally using the correct tools and removal solutions. Nano ring extensions are removed by gently crushing the ring, while tape-ins are released using a specialist bonding remover. Your natural hair is left completely intact after professional removal. Never attempt to pull or cut extensions out yourself.

As 100% Remy human hair, extensions can be coloured, toned, and treated. However, we strongly recommend having any colour work done by our in-house colourist after consultation, as extensions can react differently to colour than natural hair. Over-processing extension hair reduces its lifespan.

Yes — maintenance appointments every 6–8 weeks are essential to keep your extensions looking their best and to protect your natural hair. As your natural hair grows, the extension bonds move away from the scalp and can become visible. Maintenance appointments move the bonds back up to the root area.

Yes — once properly fitted and after following the aftercare instructions, you can swim and exercise with hair extensions. We recommend braiding hair before swimming and washing extensions promptly after exposure to chlorine or salt water to prevent tangling and bond weakening.

The cost of hair extensions depends on the method chosen, the amount of hair required, and the length. Pricing is confirmed at your consultation after a full assessment. Please book a consultation appointment to receive an accurate quote tailored to your hair type, length, and desired result.
