TAPE EXTENSIONS LONDON
SEAMLESS VOLUME AT GLAMHAIR STUDIO
Tape hair extensions are a lightweight, damage-free method of adding natural-looking length and volume using thin sections of hair with adhesive strips that are placed close to the roots sitting flat against the scalp for a seamless blend.
At Glamhair Studio on Lavender Hill, our hair extension experts apply premium human hair tape extensions that sit flat against the scalp for a seamless, undetectable finish. Book your complimentary consultation and discover why tape extensions are one of the most popular hair extension options in London.
What are Tape Hair Extensions
Tape hair extensions use thin, pre-taped wefts of real hair that are applied in a sandwich method, one tape weft placed above and one below a small section of your natural hair. The tape sits flat against the scalp, making tape extensions one of the most discreet and comfortable extension methods available.
Each tape weft is lightweight and flexible, so it moves naturally with your own hair. Unlike bulkier methods, there are no beads, rings, or heat tools involved in the application. The result is invisible tape extensions that blend with your hair from root to tip.
Tape in hair extensions are classed as a semi-permanent method. They stay securely in place for six to eight weeks before a refit, and the hair itself can be reused across multiple applications, making them a practical, long-term option for anyone wanting fuller, longer hair.
WHY CHOOSE TAPE EXTENSIONS AT GLAMHAIR STUDIO
Glamhair Studio is a specialist salon for hair extensions in London, with a team of experienced stylists who work with tape extensions every day. We understand that choosing extensions is a personal decision, and we take time with every client to get the result right.
We use only quality hair extensions made from human hair sourced from ethical suppliers. Every set is 100% human hair, Remy grade with intact cuticles, so the look and feel is identical to your own. Our luxury hair extensions are available in over 30 shades and multiple lengths, and we custom colour-match every set during your in-salon consultation.
What sets Glamhair apart is our attention to detail. Your stylist will assess your hair type, discuss the glamour and style you want, and recommend the right number of tapes for a natural, balanced result. We never use a one-size-fits-all approach, because your hair deserves better than that.
WHO ARE TAPE EXTENSIONS FOR?
Tape extensions work well for most hair types, but they are an especially popular choice for clients with fine hair or thin hair who want to add volume and length without placing stress on delicate strands.
Because each tape weft is ultra-lightweight and distributes weight evenly across a wider area, tape extensions are gentler on your natural hair than point-based methods. This makes them a suitable option for clients experiencing hair loss or thinning who still want a fuller, natural-looking result.
Tape extensions are also ideal if you want a low-maintenance routine. They sit flat, dry quickly, and do not interfere with everyday styling. Whether you want to add length, boost volume, or both, tape-in extensions offer a versatile solution that adapts to your lifestyle.
OUR TAPE EXTENSIONS APPLICATION PROCESS
Every tape extension appointment at Glamhair Studio begins with a thorough consultation. Your stylist will examine your natural hair, discuss your goals, and recommend the best approach for your hair type and desired look.
Colour matching
We select extensions that match your hair colour precisely, blending multiple shades if needed for a natural, multi-tonal finish. This step is essential for an undetectable result.
Preparation
Your hair is washed and dried to remove any product build-up. Clean hair ensures the strongest bond between the tape weft and your natural hair.
Application
Your stylist sections your hair and applies each tape weft using the sandwich method. The process is completely damage-free, no heat, no glue, and no tension on your scalp. A full application typically takes 60 to 90 minutes depending on the number of wefts.
Blending and styling
Once all wefts are placed, your stylist will cut and blend the extensions into your natural hair for a seamless, polished finish.
You leave the salon with a complete hair transformation, ready to style as normal.

Tape extensions are often the preferred choice for clients who want a quick application with minimal weight. If you have thicker hair and want maximum volume, our weft extensions at our Battersea salon may be a better fit. Micro ring extensions suit clients who prefer a longer refit cycle.
Your stylist will recommend the best method during your free consultation.
AFTERCARE AND MAINTENANCE
Looking after your tape hair extensions is straightforward. A good hair care routine will keep them looking fresh and extend the life of your new hair.
Daily Care
Brush your extensions gently with a soft-bristle brush or extension-safe detangling brush, starting from the ends and working upward. Avoid pulling or tugging near the tape bonds.
Washing
Use a sulphate-free shampoo and a lightweight conditioner. Avoid applying conditioner or oil-based products directly to the bonds, as this can loosen the adhesive. We recommend washing no more than two to three times per week.
Styling
You can use heat tools on your tape extensions, but always apply a heat protectant first. The human hair and keratin-based adhesive can handle moderate temperatures without issue. If you use tape hair extensions regularly, investing in quality hair care products designed for extensions will keep them soft and shiny for longer. You may also want to explore our keratin treatment service to keep your natural hair in top condition between refits.
Maintenance Appointments
Your tape extensions will need a professional refit every six to eight weeks. During this appointment, your stylist removes the wefts, repositions them closer to the root, and applies new tape. The hair itself is reusable, we simply fit hair back into place with fresh adhesive, allowing your hair to grow naturally underneath.
What to Avoid
Do not use heavy silicone-based serums near the roots. Avoid sleeping with wet hair. Tie your hair in a loose braid or ponytail at night to prevent tangling.
