Choosing Hair ExtensionsNano Ring, Micro Ring or Tape-In: Which Extensions Suit Your Hair?
How the three methods differ, which hair each one suits, and why the decision is made with your own hair in front of the fitter.
Service
Micro Ring Hair Extensions
Ring fittings for hair with more weight to carry. Micro rings work the same way as nano rings with a slightly larger bead, so they hold more hair per section and suit medium to thick hair.
The method
How a micro ring fitting works
Small metal rings clamp gently onto your own hair a few strands at a time, holding the extension strand in place. Again there is no heat, no glue and nothing that changes the condition of the hair underneath it.
Micro rings carry more weight per bead than nano rings, so a full head goes in faster and holds length well on hair that already has some thickness to it. They are reusable: at a maintenance appointment the beads come down, the hair is cleaned up and the same strands go back in.
Micro rings are a tried-and-tested, durable method, at their best on medium to thick hair. Which bead size suits you is decided at the consultation, by looking at your hair rather than by what you booked.

Before you book
Questions we get asked
Are micro rings heavier than nano rings?
Each micro bead holds more of your own hair than a nano bead, which is why the method suits hair that already has some thickness. The bead size is chosen by looking at your hair, not by what you booked.
Can the beads be used again?
Ring fittings are built for it. At a maintenance appointment the beads come down, your own hair is cleaned up, and the same strands go back in at the root.
How long does a full head take?
A ring fitting is a few hours of work because each bead holds only a small section. Jaz will tell you how long to put aside once she has seen your hair.
