I got 50cm hair extensions and I’ve never felt prettier

I have never been totally satisfied with my hair and consequently, it has been on a real journey. 

My natural hair colour is dark brown, but over the years I’ve been jet black, caramel, platinum blonde, not to mention shocking pink and cherry red. But my visit to Inanch London provided me with the best look I’ve had to date.

Because my locks have suffered a lot of damage – and I send a heartfelt apology to my hair for this – I haven’t ever had the chance to grow it really long. Instead, it’s always been mid-length. 

So when I was offered the chance to have some hair extensions fitted I was seriously over the moon – I’d finally have the princessy tresses I’d always dreamed about.

Luxury hair extensions salon Inanch London is located a stone’s throw away from Great Portland Street Underground Station.

The chic venue boasts a black, white and gold colour theme – the epitome of elegance – and is both a dynamic space and relaxing haven. 

It is home to a whole host of stars including Michelle Heaton, Mischa Barton, Maya Jama, Rochelle Humes, Alex Scott, Michelle Collins, Alesha Dixon and Angela Bassett – clients will feel very lucky to join this fab squad for the day.

Whether you’re heading to Inanch London for hair extensions, a colour service, hair replacement or hair loss solution or just a simple wash, cut and blowdry, know that you’re in magic hands.

Clients may be understandably nervous about reams of extensions being attached to their own hair, as horror stories about poorly applied extensions causing thinning and even bald spots are pretty common.

But Inanch Emir, Salon and Creative Director, makes customers feel totally at ease, on hand to answer any and all questions before a hair fitting.

The salon uses its own brand of hair extensions, Gold Class, an exclusive range available in just a handful of UK salons.

A range of hair extensions are on offer to suit individual clients’ needs and budgets, including Pre-Bonded Polymer Hair, Micro Rings, Taped Hair, Volumizers and Clip-Ins.

Inanch advised that I go for the Pre-Bonded Polymer Hair – it’s totally seamless and would allow me to wear my hair up without giving the game away about my extensions.

The whole process took less than three hours and I was absolutely speechless when I saw myself in the mirror for the first time. I knew I’d love the long hair but had no idea just how much.

Inanch combined multiple shades to create a client’s perfect colour match, and the final result is incredibly natural looking.

Don’t be surprised if your loved ones gasp when they see your new look – it’s hard to tell where the natural hair ends and the extensions begin.

Inanch Emir and her team of extensionists no doubt do incredible work, but as any good hairstylist will tell you, proper maintenance is just as important as the initial fitting.

The hair guru sends clients on their way with a bespoke aftercare regime, including a special brush designed for hair extensions, a deluxe shampoo and conditioner set and a booklet answering FAQ’s.

With Inanch’s exceptional aftercare plan, I managed to keep my hair extensions looking fabulous, fresh and healthy from December 17, 2022 to April 14, 2023. 

Everywhere I went people told me I had “the most amazing hair” – something I definitely miss now that they have been taken out – and in all honesty I’ve never felt prettier. 

The experience of having hair extensions taken out can be sad and daunting, between losing the volume and length from the extra strands and the worry that your own natural hair will be left a little thin as a result. 

However, Inanch’s expert touch ensures that her clients’ natural hair is totally healthy underneath. I only had to have around half an inch trimmed.

A key tip for anyone looking into getting hair extensions is not to scrimp on price or quality. Clients must ensure their hair is in safe hands or risk thinning and even hair loss.

These extensions are a luxury purchase, but totally worth it for the guarantee of beautiful, healthy hair during and after the process.

Whether you have short hair and are searching for long, luscious locks, or fine hair and want that va-va-voom volume, look no further than Inanch London. 

The exquisite team takes a worldwide approach to extensions, sourcing raw, unprocessed hair from India, Mongolia and Russia. 

Try Gold Class premium Indian Temple Hair for naturally wavy hair – it is beautifully soft but with lots of staying power. Ladies with naturally straight hair should go for the silky smooth Gold Class premium Russian/Slavic hair.

Prices vary depending on the hair length, hair texture and the experience level of the stylist applying them. One pack of 30cm Natural Indian Wave hair extensions fitted by an extensionist costs from £450.

Inanch says that hair extensions can be pretty addictive and that time and time again clients come back for more. 

Clients may brush this off at the time – while it’s exciting to have long, thick hair for a while, how life-changing can it really be? – but this is an entirely reductive view. I’m giving myself a few months sans extensions and then I’ll be straight back in the salon chair. 

Inanch London is offering a 20 percent discount to Express.co.uk readers for hair extensions. Book before August 4, 2023 for the fabulous deal, you won’t regret it.
