Weft Hair Extensions
Vixen and Luxe Smooth Weft Hair Extensions
Our Vixen and Luxe smooth weft hair extensions technique is an updated and technically advanced version of Micro-weaving. The Smooth Weft has a much flatter finish to the scalp than Micro-weaving due to the flat construction. This makes it undetectable and exceptionally comfortable as well as suitable for all types of hair.
Our Smooth Weft technique is made with a strong resin which is certainly substantially stronger than traditional sewn wefts on the market. The smooth weft hair extension we use is proven to be stronger, has a lot less shedding and there is no ‘beard’, which is the line of shorter hair at the top of a sewn weft which often causes itchiness. Vixen and Luxe smooth weft hair extensions can be applied in 45 minutes without the use of tape, glue, braiding or heat and we are proud to say they are 100% damage free.
All extension packages include specific shampoo, conditioner, heat protector spray, treatment milk and a free follow up appointment after two weeks.

FAQ’s
What is the advantage of this method? Our Vixen and Luxe smooth weft hair extensions fall clean which means there is no ‘beard’ (this is the shorter row at the top of traditional sewn wefts) which allows the wefts to sit so flat to the head that they are undetectable to the touch and do not itch or matt up which can often happen with sewn wefts that have a ‘beard’.
How long does it take to apply?
30-45 minute application time for 4 rows (15 minutes for a 2 rows)
How long does the hair last?
Our hair lasts 7 – 12 months, often longer (12 months +) with the right care at home and using the Vixen and Luxe specific haircare range

Does this price include a colour? No, we will try to match your colour or the extensions as close as possible but in some cases we will have to colour the extensions or your hair. They work in well with 6 weekly colour services; remove them, colour & cut the natural hair, then reapply (30 – 45 minutes)
