Hair Extensions in Whitley Bay – Expert Advice from Cruz Hairworks

Your Guide to Hair Extensions in Whitley Bay: Length, Volume & Confidence

By Andrew Clark-Ormston, Senior Stylist & Extension Specialist at Cruz Hairworks

Hair extensions are one of the most effective ways to transform your look – whether you're after more length, added volume, or simply a boost in confidence. At Cruz Hairworks in Whitley Bay, we offer a range of professional extension options, fitted with care and precision by our experienced team.

If you're thinking about trying extensions, here’s what you need to know.

Why Choose Hair Extensions?

Many of our guests consider extensions for different reasons. Some have naturally fine or thinning hair, others want to grow their hair but need a little help along the way. Extensions can:

• Add length to shorter styles
• Boost volume for a fuller look
• Fill out thinning areas
• Create a special finish for events or weddings

Whatever your reason, we’ll tailor your extensions to suit your hair type, lifestyle, and desired finish.

Types of Extensions We Offer

At Cruz Hairworks, we use trusted professional systems to ensure a safe, natural result. These include:

• Tape extensions – Great for fine hair, discreet and low-maintenance.
• Micro-ring extensions – Applied without heat or glue, ideal for medium to thick hair.
• Weft extensions – Sewn in for long-lasting wear, perfect for those wanting extra fullness.

We’ll always talk through your options and recommend the most suitable method for your hair and daily routine.

What to Expect at Your Appointment

Before any fitting, we book a full consultation to:

• Assess your hair’s condition
• Discuss your goals and expectations
• Colour match your extensions precisely
• Provide a price and aftercare plan

Fitting usually takes between 1–3 hours, depending on the type and amount of hair being added. You’ll leave the salon with hair that looks and feels like your own – only better.

Caring for Your Extensions

Good maintenance keeps your extensions looking their best and your natural hair healthy. Here are our essentials:

• Use sulphate-free shampoo and conditioner – We recommend Joico or L’Oréal Professional.
• Brush with a soft bristle brush – Start from the ends and work upwards to avoid tangling.
• Dry thoroughly at the roots – Damp roots can weaken the bonds or rings.
• Avoid oily products at the scalp – These can loosen tapes or cause slippage.

We also recommend regular maintenance appointments every 6–8 weeks, depending on your chosen method.

Hair extensions can be truly life-changing when done well. At Cruz Hairworks, we’re proud to offer a calm, discreet and professional experience that leaves you feeling confident in your own hair.
