Meet Your Stylist
Evelyn Tildesley
“Everyone should have barbie hair of their dreams!”
I’ve impulsively cut my hair into a pixie more times than any reasonable person should. Grow it. Get bored. Cut it. Dye it, Regret it. Repeat. Apparently leaving my hair alone simply isn’t part of my personality.
Pink, Blue, Green, Unicorn, Curly! Straight! Whatever you’ve saved on Pinterest, I’ve done it.
Extensions changed that. They gave me the freedom to have the length when I want it, play with colour, change my style and generally satisfy the urge to DO SOMETHING without sacrificing my actual hair every time inspiration (or poor impulse control) strikes.
And that’s what I love about extensions. They’re not just about having long hair. They’re about options. Go longer. Go bigger. Add colour. Add curls. Change your whole vibe. Then change it again, live out your fantasy and feel beautiful!
Ask Evelyn
Can I have extensions if my hair is really short?
1
Possibly! It depends on your length, density and the result you’re after. This is exactly why I like to see your hair before promising you Rapunzel by Tuesday. The Ideal is 4 inches at least to blend well.
Will extensions damage my hair?

Extensions themselves shouldn’t wreck your hair when the right method is fitted and maintained properly. What will cause problems? Ignoring your maintenance, picking at them and incorrect self removal can.
If you are a picker, please tell me so I can make sure the extensions are the right method for you.
If you have to self remove, I am able to teach you how to do that at home in a pinch, but it would be easier for you to come to me for help!
Can I bring you my Pinterest board?

Please do. The more unhinged the better.
Can you match curly hair?
YES. Curly hair will be more expensive than straight hair, and colour options can be limited. Roughly a new set of curly extensions can cost up to £700, so be prepared!
Do not straighten your hair before fitting appointments unless you want straight extensions. I will work around your curls and I want to see how they sit naturally

5. Can I have extensions just for colour?
Absolutely. Want pink without bleaching your own hair into oblivion? This is precisely the sort of behaviour I encourage!
I can help you with Calico hair, Leopard print/y2k hair, the world is your oyster!
6. What if I have no idea what type of extensions I need?Perfectly normal. You don't need to arrive knowing the difference between tapes, nanos and wefts. That's literally my job, I am here to find the best method for you. 7. Can extensions be gender-affirming?
Absolutely. Hair can make a massive difference to how you see yourself — and sometimes you just want the outside to catch up with the person you already know you are.
Extensions don’t have to be a long-term commitment either. I can fit them for short-term transformations, drag, events, nights out, photoshoots or simply because you fancy trying a completely different version of yourself for a while.
What if I have an undercut, shaved sides, or a strange cut?

Excellent! It will be an incredibly fun appointment, extensions are possible with all of those styles with proper placement!
What if I get bored and want to change my hair again?

That is what short term use hair is for, if you know you will buy new hair often, allowing space for that by buying short term extensions will work much better for you!
I personally refit my extensions every 4 weeks, and I often change the length, style, or placement. If you feel a change, let me know on your next appointment.
I have more questions…
