The Extensionist

No glue, chemicals, adhesives or damage

Trusted techniques, proven results

Sixteen years of extensions have taught us that precision, longevity and hair health come first. We only use weft and micro-bead methods: gentle weight distribution and months of damage-free wear.

We never use tape, glue or bonds. They can stress, break and damage your hair, and luxury should never cost you your natural hair.

VOGUEPEARL™ extensions

Created by Megan Ledarney, VOGUEPEARL™ has become a household name in hair extensions. Small, precise sections of your natural hair are wrapped around a weft and secured to form a seamless, balanced anchor point.

Each track is reinforced with multiple microbeads for perfect weight distribution. That's the secret behind its comfort, durability and wearability, and why it's the long-wear, non-damaging method clients come back to.

  • Wefts + pearls only
  • 6 to 7 months per install
  • About 30 min a row
  • Safe to colour

Our newest technique

Hidden Pearl™ extensions

Made for ultra-fine, thin, low-density hair and anyone who loves a high ponytail. There are no visible attachments, worn up or down.

Hidden Pearl™ is worn in 3 to 4 month intervals. It takes a little longer to install than VOGUEPEARL™, so it's priced a little higher.

  • No visible attachments
  • 3 to 4 months per install
  • About 30 min a row
  • Fine hair
Glossy brunette Hidden Pearl extensions

Fast install

Hidden Pearl™ takes roughly 30 minutes per row to install.

No visible attachments

Nothing shows, whether you wear your hair up or down. Perfect for lower-density hair and anyone who wears it up.

Hidden Pearl extensions blended into fine hair

3 to 4 month wear

Hidden Pearl™ stays in a little less time than VP because the beads are tucked away and harder to tighten, so it's worn in 3 to 4 month intervals.

Fine hair with Hidden Pearl extensions

No damage

Made for finer, lower-density hair and tested inside our own salons, where we specialize in hair loss.

VOGUEPEARL compared with Hidden Pearl

Seamless

Micro beads form the base, wefts sit above and below the bead, and thread secures the beads to the weft. That's it.

Versatile

How it all works

From consult to maintenance

  1. Research + consult

    You're doing this now! Research your method.

    Then reserve your free consult, where we explore options for your hair goals and make a personal plan.

  2. Booking

    A 50% deposit secures your appointment and starts preparing your custom hair. It goes toward your final balance.

    In busy season, expect about 1 to 2 weeks between your consult and your install.

  3. Install day!

    Arrive ready to get glammed. We transform your hair, walk you through your full hair care routine, and you receive every inclusion in your package.

    You pay the rest of your balance on install day.

  4. Maintenance

    Both methods need maintenance every 4 weeks. VOGUEPEARL™ wears 6 to 7 months before a re-install with the same hair. Hidden Pearl™ wears 3 to 4 months.

    Touch-ups are $45 a month. Re-installs are $75 a row for VOGUEPEARL™ and $120 a row for Hidden Pearl™.

    Dates are a guide. We book your touch-ups with you on install day.

    Ethically sourced, expertly refined, exceptionally yours

    Our hair

    We don't use mass-market, pre-branded hair. We partner directly with select factories for ethically sourced, premium human hair: never from coercion, religious sacrifice or exploitation. Every strand is legally and fairly obtained and certified for safety and fumigation.

    Our hair comes from across Asia, mainly China and India, for a wide range of textures, curl patterns and densities. It's processed in our dedicated factory with a slow-lightening method that protects the cuticle and keeps the hair strong.

    Our gold standard

    What every strand has to pass

    100% Remy

    Every strand runs root to tip in its natural direction, so it doesn't tangle and flows like hair grown on a head.

    Cuticle intact

    The natural outer layer stays fully preserved, so your extensions stay silky, tangle-free and long-lasting.

    Organic lifting

    A gentle 4-week, low-lift process keeps the hair rich, shiny and strong for 12 to 14 months of full-time wear.

    Ethical sourcing

    Collected voluntarily, through trusted suppliers who follow strict legal and humane standards.

    Out with the bulk

    We've retired machine wefts

    Machine wefts are bulky and rigid, and they hold “return hairs” that can poke and irritate sensitive scalps. Genius Wefts make them obsolete, so we've moved on.

    • A quarter of the sizeAbout one-quarter the thickness of a machine weft. Sleeker, flatter and nearly invisible.
    • Soft, flexible comfortThey move with your head instead of sitting stiff against it.
    • No return hairsNo more itching from hairs sewn back into the track. Sensitive scalps, rejoice.
    • More hair, fewer rowsLighter installs, easier washing, comfier sleep and simpler maintenance.

    Wearing machine wefts now? Don't worry. We'll guide you through a smooth switch at your next install.
