Hi, my name is Lana Weston and I am an experienced qualified florist, based in Banbury, Oxfordshire, but also covering Warwickshire & Northamptonshire.

Headlong Hair Extensions

We use a "plaitting method" where we create usually 4 rows across the head. This is enought to create a full head of hair.
There are no glues, no clips. Just good, honest skill and experience.
We use "Dream Girl" hair, a well-known brand that we consider the best.
After 20 years of wearing weaves myself, I know what works best and what definatly does not work.
Alot of people consider weaves to be a method of application exclusively used by women with afro hair; we use a technique specifically designed for caucasians to bring long, luscious hair weaves to women of all hair types.

NO CLIPS, NO GLUE, MOST UNDER £100!!
