Why all Hair Extensions are NOT the same

Before embarking on your transformation you must remember that the best hair ultimately gives you the best results.  Salon Shique has the largest and most beautiful range of natural hair available for you.

Why is Shique Hair Different?

Salon Shique imports hair that has never been coloured, bleached or treated in any way. We only use pure, luxurious, virgin hair. The hair that you wear must be better than your own hair! Your final look will be stunning, easy to manage, longer lasting and the envy of other girls who use cheaper imitations (such as synthetic, Asian, processed, Indian and Chinese hair).

Other, inferior hair is highly damaged, even before you wear it. This hair has been acid dipped, bleached or re-coloured from black to brown or blonde. To make this hair feel nice it is coated with silicon which washes off after 3-4 weeks leaving you with dry, straw like hair.

Don’t settle for less, only have the highest quality hair.  This inferior hair is what we at Shique call ‘Throw Away’ hair.  After 3 to 4 weeks it deteriorates, is hard to manage, sheds, knots, looks and feels terrible and will not blend with your hair and needs to be thrown away.


We do not stock this cheap, inferior hair. Our hair will last you longer than 12 months.  It may be more expensive initially but it will save you money, embarrassment, hair damage and time in the long term.  Don’t settle for less. Salon Shique – for your best kept secret….your beautiful hair.

Discretely placed and beautifully matched to your hair colour and texture

“Thanks to my Shique hair extensions I finally have what I've always wanted - thick, long, luscious locks.  The extensions are so easy to manage that I often forget that it's not my own hair.  Due to the expertise of the salon staff the extensions are discretely placed and beautifully matched to your own hair colour and texture.  This is one form of self pampering that I will continue forever.”

"The Salon For Females of Today!"

“Since my first visit to Shique, I have never looked back.  The advice and care received was honest and reliable.  My extensions were not just a transformation of my hair but also of how I felt and my confidence.  For the first time I felt fabulous about my hair.  The after care was also important and the team always cared about me and my hair.  I would and have recommended Shique to everyone I know.  The Salon for females of today!”

Which Hair Extension Method is Best for You?

Salon Shique have over twenty years experience in ALL methods of extending hair.  We have been trained and educated both locally and internationally, there is not a method available that we have not seen, tried and tested.  We have seen and continue to see the damage occurring each and every day from inexperienced extensionists and salons; the use of cheap incorrect hair, machine made wefts, lumpy glues, gums and resins, hair pulled out, knotted and matted and the emotional and financial stress that unfortunately many girls go through. 

The Unique Shique Hair Extension Process was born from witnessing these terrible experiences.  We have developed this process to give you peace of mind and hair that you will enjoy wearing.

Hear for yourself! Jessie describes her experience at Salon Shique....

The Facts   
  • For the best results, your natural hair should be a minimum of 6 to 8 inches long, however at Salon Shique we have created miracles with less length!  The absolute minimum length needed is 3 – 4 inches.
  • If you have severe scalp allergies we do not recommend hair extensions
  • If you have very, very fine or weak hair we will firstly place you on a Hair Strengthening Program to strengthen your hair before wearing the Unique Shique Hair Extensions, to give you the best possible result.
  • If your hair is very sparse on top and you can see your scalp we can hand make top pieces for you.  Hair extensions will not be suitable.
  • If you have trichotillomania, after a Hair/Scalp Analysis and consultation your Extensionist will advise you of your best options and help you with your condition.
  • If you have severe dermatitis or psoriasis we recommend a Hair & Scalp Analysis where we will prescribe a Hair & Scalp Wellness Program to help your condition.  These conditions can be brought on by stress, over washing, allergic responses, incorrect product use, emotional blockages or hormone imbalances.  These are all things that we are able to advise you further on during the analysis.  After regular monitoring, once the condition of your hair and scalp has improved you can move forward with your hair extensions
  • If you have severe chemical damage we will firstly place you on our Hair Wellness and Strengthening Program to rebuild your damaged hair.  We have many specialised treatments for you.  Our aim is always to get your hair in its best possible condition and wearing the Unique Shique Hair Extensions will aid you in lengthening and strengthening your hair.
  • If you are recovering from chemotherapy or radiation therapy, we will place you on a Hair Wellness, Hair Growing Program and monitor your hair regrowth.  We will advise you professionally when your hair can support hair extensions

Chemo Patients Gets Hair She Always Dreamed Of...

"In November 2005 I was diagnosed with Breast Cancer.  In order to help survive breast cancer you are required to undertake extensive chemotherapy which unfortunately meant losing my hair. Chemotherapy damaged a lot of my hair follicles, thus I knew that I would never be able to grow my hair to the length and thickness which I desired.  The only answer was going to be hair extensions.  I did a lot of research on hair extensions on International and Australian Web pages. I read numerous articles on the length my hair needed to be.  I looked at photos of before and after photos of women with very short hair going to luscious long hair.  Thus when my hair was around 4cm long I went and saw a number of places in Melbourne to discuss hair extensions.  Some places advised me that they could perform the extensions immediately.  Then I met Zak.
  
He advised me that it was not just the length but the condition of my hair.  Zak advised me of the products to use, how to look after my hair, and how to get it in the best condition for the preparation of the hair extensions.  He didn't look at me as just a customer giving him money; he looked at me as a person with a dream.  He said that he wouldn't give me extensions until my hair was ready to take them, and that it would defeat the purpose in getting hair extensions when we are not getting the best outcome.  (Or even worse my hair to fall out with the stress of the extensions.)  

He ensured that my new hair, (which came back like baby fine hair), was in the best condition that it could be, before he would consider putting the hair extensions in.  He managed the growth and condition of my hair over the next 4 months then finally in August 2007 Zak finally said "well what about it!". 

Three weeks later I have the hair that I have always dreamed about.  Thank you Zak for your patience and understanding.  I now look in the mirror and say WOW!!"

YOUR NEXT STEP is to come into our Melbourne salon for the Unique Shique Consultation which embraces three important elements;

  1. The Unique Shique Hair & Scalp Analysis:  We assess your hair and scalp condition and if necessary place you on a Unique Shique Hair & Scalp Wellness Program, treating your hair and scalp independently to ensure your natural hair becomes healthier, stronger, longer and looking great!
  2. The Unique Shique Image Consultation: Focusing on many aspects including your eye colour, skin tone, lifestyle and body form.  We share our knowledge and experience and give you professional advise on the perfect look for you!
  3. The Unique Shique Hair Extension Consultation: Formulated and designed with years of experience we asses, advise and recommend the best solution for you.  We love your hair as much as you do and we guarantee all our work, we are true professionals.

It is the combination of these three elements that will answer all of your questions.  The cost of this consultation is $20 and takes approximately 20 minutes, your $20 fee is directly donated to support Ngurah and his family in need from Bali.  

If after the Unique Shique consultation, we feel that your hair is not suitable to wear extensions, we will be honest and advise you on the best options for your hair.  We at Shique pride ourselves on maintaining and improving your hair and scalp condition.   Our hair extensions do NOT damage your hair, they will help your natural hair growth and condition.

So, you’ve had a bad experience in the past…..

At Shique, we continue to perfect our Unique Shique Hair Extension Process. 95 % of our Hair Extension work is done all naturally with NO glues, gums, damaging resins or sticky products.  Salon Shique use natural, safe and easy to manage hair extension application methods. 

"I wore Shique extensions for just over 18 months, when I decided to have them removed I was thrilled at not only the length, but the condition of my natural hair!  I had always dreamed of having long hair and the extensions gave that to me instantly- but they also allowed my natural hair condition to improve and grow so I no longer needed to wear them.  Having extensions was the greatest decision I ever made! I really do have the hair I dreamed of!"
Louise

 Salon Shique extensions are 100% safe, when we remove your extensions there will be NO damage to your natural hair, we guarantee it! 

What NOT to have done!

So many clients have come to us from other salons with very ugly and damaged results, see the below examples....

Damage caused by other salons Damage caused by other salons

We can not stress enough how important it is to visit a professional hair extensionist.  Do not sacrifice experience and quality when choosing your extensionist; it will only cost you more in the long term, not only money but the condition of your delicate hair!  It can take years to get your hair back to its natural condition.


"I worked in a salon and got hair extensions because they were for free.  OK, it was wonderful, all until I had to get them out.  They dissolved the resin in foil which took about 30 to 45 minutes.  Then they picked, picked, picked it out- so damaging! Never again!
When I had hair extensions at Shique there was NO picking, NO resin and they definitely don’t destroy your hair! They have the best hair and I have been wearing them for over a year."
Blaise

The following testimonial is a common story we hear after a terrible experience at another salon. 

"I desperately wanted hair extensions and found a salon that was soo much cheaper than anywhere else.  A month after I had them I was beginning to realise what a mistake I had made… The condition of my hair and the extensions was terrible and I was getting more and more self conscious leaving my hair out as I knew people could tell I had extensions- not just extensions but bad “Britney” extensions! 

I knew I had to do something so I started to research and found Salon Shique.  After my consultation I was so confident that I would now be able to have the hair extension experience I had dreamed of.  Shique removed my old extensions and designed a hair wellness program to repair the damage that occurred from the glue the other salon used then, soon enough, I was ready for my Shique extensions! What a difference! I only wish I had come to Shique first!"

“I’ve always had fine hair, never been able to have full bodied, luscious hair.  So when I saw a quarter/half hair piece that was easy to apply I was sold.  I first started wearing it once or twice for confidence and special occasions.  Then I felt the need to wear it constantly as I received more compliments.  As time went on- wearing it everyday I noticed two small lighter hair patches close to my face appearing.  Noticing it was making my hair rip out I wore it more and more to cover these hideous patches.  Then the skin would flake and made my confidence worse.  I now had two bald patches!  The packaging directions never warned me of wearing it frequently.  When I went back to the store to complain they said it was common sense not to wear it every day- even though when I first purchased it they said it should encourage my hair to grow!

I then went to Shique after a personal recommendation from my boss at work who has been wearing Shique extensions for 3 years.  Shique put me on a Hair Growing Wellness program to grow my hair back.  They have now installed new permanent hair extensions, my confidence is returning and I love my new hair!  All I can say is be careful if you have fine hair and are wearing heavy clip in extensions”
Amanda, September 2008 (pictured above)

update:

"It has been just four months since those pictures were taken and after following the Shique Hair Wellness program my hair has grown back!!  I have so much more confidence.  Even my family and friends have noticed a difference.  It's so easy to maintain, simply wash once every few days and run a straightener through it and it stays perfect! I would like to thank everyone at Shique, every visit is a pleasure and I leave with smiles.  Thank you again for your advice and help!"  Amanda, January 2009

  • Plastic / synthetic hair (unless you are 6 inches tall) will NEVER look real

  • Do not go to a cheap salon or mobile extensionist who doesn’t offer a guarantee- ‘here today and gone tomorrow', leaving you with no insurance or recall

  • If your hair extensionist starts to put in your extensions and you see that he/she is using makeshift tools instead of professional tools, run!

  • If your extensionist can only give you broad generalizations such as “Your extensions will last 3 to 6 months”, run!

Ask a lot of questions.  If they do not give you logical answers, do not make sense, or give you vague answers that you’re not comfortable with, please seek a second opinion.  It is your hair and your money.  We welcome your questions because we want you to feel safe and confident; after all, it’s your hair!


We hope that you have found this to be informative. These are the facts.  We are giving you the benefit of our years of experience so that you will NEVER have to experience the damaging results that can happen with inferior quality hair, damaging methods and inexperienced extensionists.  

If you are going to wear extensions, only wear the best.  We are here at our Melbourne salon to answer any questions.  Phone and speak with one of our Hair Extension Specialists today on 03 9866 8088.  Transform and embrace the new you today!

Re- installation or removal of extensions from another salon

Botched or imperfect Hair Extensions?  Come to Australia's Leading Hair Extension Specialists, We Will Help You Create Your Dream Hair

We have many clients who have come to us from other salons for many reasons;

• Had a bad experience elsewhere
• Unsatisfied with the hair quality
• Simply looking to try a new method or salon
• Had extensions installed overseas
• Just moved and need to find a new Extensionist for re-installations or removal
• Value quality and want to experience the best!

What ever the reason you are no longer seeing your previous Extensionist, we can help.  Salon Shique have the expertise to deal with all other salon extension methods, whether they are local or international.  We have seen and worked with them all!

Step 1:  Phone 03 9866 8088 and speak directly with one of our hair extension specialists to book your appointment.  Explain the extensions that you are wearing and what you would like done.  Whenever possible we recommend a pre-appointment visit so that we can view your extensions and accurately asses the work to be done.  There are many different methods on the market for extension installation and attachment, not all of them are re-usable and not all of them are safe for your natural hair.  There are also a few girls who do not follow the care and maintenance advice of their Extensionist!

This pre-appointment allows us to assess your hair, hair extensions and scalp to make a professional recommendation for you; it also allows us to schedule enough time for you and to accurately quote the service. If you are unsatisfied with the extensions you are wearing from another salon if is also an opportunity for us to work with you to design a new look that will be perfect for you.

Step 2:  On your appointment day, come to the salon with your hair as natural as possible and washed 48 hours prior.  Your Extensionist will remove or re-install your extensions or install your new look.  If necessary, your Extensionist will recommend a Unique Shique Hair & Scalp Wellness Program for you.  The program treats your hair and scalp independently, ensuring your natural hair becomes healthier, stronger, longer and looking great! This is very important if you have suffered any damage at the hands of an inexperienced Extensionist at another salon. 

Your Extensionist will explain the care and maintenance for your extensions and supply you with educational material for your referral at home. 

Step 3:  Finally, enjoy your transformation and embrace the new You!

What is your investment?

At your pre-appointment your Extensionist will give you a written quote for your service.  The hourly rate for removing single hair extensions is $95.00.  Generally it takes 1 to 2 hours depending on the method of attachment and the condition of your extensions.  To remove weft extensions it will cost $95.00 per track. 

If you would like your extensions re-installed, your Extensionist will provide a quote once they have seen your extensions to assess if it is possible to re-install, not all methods of attachment available at other salons are re-usable.

We are here at our Melbourne salon to answer any questions.  Phone and speak with one of our Hair Extension Specialists today on 03 9866 8088.  Transform and embrace the new you today!
