“At Hob salons we use Cinderella hair extensions because they look and feel fantastic. The hair is ethically sourced which is important for our clients. The quality is excellent and there are a wide variety of colours to suit and blend with any hair colour, which ensures they look and feel very natural.

The bonds that hold the extensions to your natural hair have a plant protein and keratin-base-this means no glues. This ensures there is no damage to your hair and ensures the extensions are suitable for vegetarians and are eco friendly.

The extensions last for up to three months if cared for properly and because of the bond can be replaced immediately. How you look after your extensions at home is fundamental to how long they last and how they look. To ensure your extensions remain as gorgeous as when you left the salon you must use sulphate-free shampoos and conditioners to maintain the hair and bonds. Avoiding those that include silicones is a must and it’s best to let your hairdresser recommend the best products for your hair.

You should invest in a weekly or fortnightly blow dry with the salon to help to maintain the condition of your hair and bonds – this also gives your stylist the opportunity to advise or adjust your home care programme. We always offer a complimentary first blow-dry a week or so after hair extensions have been added for this reason.

It’s worth investing in a special Cinderella brush, which will glide over bonds with ease and cause no stress to your natural hair. I always recommend tying hair in a loose plait or low pony to keep the bonds in the same direction when you go to sleep. Good hair extensions are a big investment and like a gorgeous dress or pair of shoes you need to give a little extra TLC to keep them looking fabulous.

At Hob salons we always give a full consultation to anyone interested in hair extensions where we look at all aspects of your hair, scalp and lifestyle to determine if extensions are right for you. Be wary of salons that offer hair extensions without this level of care and attention as you are risking your hair.

And don’t just think of extensions as a full head of long hair – they are great for offering thickness and texture as well.”

As if we need an excuse to party! 69 magazine and hob salons Leeds have joined forces with legendary club Kissdafunk to offer Leeds’ party people an exclusive Pamper Party on Saturday 27th February.

For just £20.00 hob salons will ensure your hair and nails are perfect for your night of fun, keeping you looking good from the official pre-party at Fibre (one of 69′s fave venues – EVER!), to dancing through the night at Kissdafunk. And there’s no need to feel guilty as all the proceeds from the Pamper Party go to charidee.

From 6 – 8pm, hob salons will be open exclusively to Kissdafunk party-goers to cleanse, blow-dry and style hair (curling, straightening and up dos) and offer express manicures. All guests will also receive a glass of fizz to get them in the party spirit and the Kissdafunk DJs may even pop in for a quick hello!
