- Service Overview
Premium K-Tip Extensions Designed For Seamless, Natural-Looking Transformations.
K-Tip extensions (also called keratin tip or hot fusion extensions) use a small, precisely formed keratin bond at the tip of each individual hair strand. Using a precision low-heat wand, the bond is gently activated and fused to a small section of your natural hair — creating a connection that is completely invisible, moves with complete freedom, and behaves exactly like your own hair in every situation.
Unlike clip-ins or tape-in wefts, K-Tip strands are applied one by one. This individual application gives us total control over placement, density, direction, and spacing — allowing us to target areas of thinness, create natural volume distribution across the scalp, and blend perfectly with every texture from fine and straight through to wavy and coarse.
- BENEFITS
Lightweight Comfort
Because each strand is applied individually and evenly distributed across the scalp, the weight is spread naturally. Most clients are completely comfortable within 24–48 hours of their appointment.
Long-Lasting Wear
With proper aftercare, K-Tip extensions last 3–5 months before a move-up appointment is needed. This makes them one of the most cost-effective premium extension methods over time.
Flexible Styling
100% Remy human hair means these extensions can be straightened, curled, blow-dried, and heat-styled at up to 180°C. Style them exactly as you would your natural hair — with the same results every time.
Natural-Looking Results
The small keratin bonds are virtually invisible once applied, sitting flush against the scalp and blending seamlessly through the hair. You can wear your hair up, down, in a ponytail, or braided — without any visible attachment points.
Confidence At Home
Whether you want subtle fullness in the mid-lengths, dramatic length, or a complete transformation — K-Tips are fully customisable. Strand count, placement, and blend are all tailored to your specific goals and natural hair.
Healthy Hair Approach
When applied and maintained correctly, K-Tip extensions cause zero damage to natural hair. Our specialists are trained in damage-conscious placement — never bonding too close to the scalp and always assessing hair health before every installation.
Natural-Looking Results — What Are K-Tip Extensions?
K-Tip extensions use premium keratin bonds to individually attach Remy human hair strands to your natural hair. The keratin in the bond is the same protein that makes up your natural hair — making it the most biocompatible extension attachment method available. Each strand moves independently, which is what gives K-Tips their characteristic natural appearance and exceptional flexibility. The bonds are small, discreet, and completely smooth — no rough edges, no hard clips, and no obvious attachment points.
- Individual strand application — placed one at a time for total control
- Lightweight, discreet bonds — smooth and flush against the scalp
- Natural movement and complete styling flexibility
- 3–5 months long-lasting wear with correct aftercare
- Suitable for both volume and length — or both simultaneously
Is This Extension Method Right For You?
K-Tip extensions are suitable for most hair types — including fine, medium, and thick natural hair. They are ideal for clients who:
- Want the most natural-looking extension result possible
- Need a long-term solution — not a daily or weekly commitment
- Have naturally straight, wavy, or loosely curly hair (types 1A–2C)
- Want to add both volume and length simultaneously
- Want to add both volume and length simultaneously
- Want to heat-style freely without restriction
K-Tips may not be the best option for very fine or fragile hair. For these clients, we may recommend hand-tied wefts as a gentler alternative. We'll always advise honestly at your free consultation.
Your K-Tip Transformation Journey — Step By Step.
Consultation
We assess your hair type, density, texture, and colour. We recommend the ideal strand count (most clients need 100–150 strands) and match your shade in natural daylight. Complimentary for all new clients.
Colour & Hair Order
We source your extensions — matched precisely to your shade, length, and texture. Lead time is typically 1–2 weeks from order placement.
Colour Matching on the Day
Before installation begins, we do a final colour check in natural light to confirm the match is perfect before any bonds are applied.
Professional Installation
Your K-Tip appointment takes place in our private Claremont studio. The application process takes 2–4 hours depending on strand count. We work section by section from underneath the hair up, ensuring even distribution.
Styling & Finishing
Once all strands are applied, we blend, cut if needed, and style to create your finished look. You'll leave the studio with full, beautiful, ready-to-wear hair.
Aftercare Walkthrough
Before you leave, your specialist walks you through the full home care routine — how to wash, brush, sleep, and style your extensions correctly.
Keeping Your Extensions Beautiful — Aftercare Guide.
Daily Care
- Brush daily from ends to roots using a soft-bristle extension-safe brush
- Sleep with hair in a loose braid or low ponytail to prevent tangling overnight
- Never brush extensions when wet — gently detangle ends first
Washing
- Use a sulphate-free, extension-safe shampoo and conditioner at every wash
- Wash in a gentle downward motion — never circular — to prevent matting near bonds
- Avoid applying conditioner or heavy masks directly to the bond area
- Rinse thoroughly — product buildup near bonds shortens wear time
Heat & Styling
- Always use a heat protectant spray before straightening or curling
- Avoid applying direct heat to the keratin bonds — this can soften them over time
- For swimming: secure hair before entering the water and rinse thoroughly after salt or chlorine exposure
Products to Avoid
- Sulphate-containing shampoos — break down keratin bonds
- Alcohol-based styling sprays — dry out the hair shaft and weaken bonds
- Heavy oils near the bond area — oil migrates into the bond and causes slipping
Maintenance Schedule
- Schedule your move-up appointment every 3–4 months as your natural hair grows
- At your move-up, old bonds are safely removed and repositioned at the new growth
- Hair health is checked at every move-up to ensure natural hair remains strong

Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about extension aftercare, home education, and keeping your hair beautiful — all in one place.
How long do K-Tip extensions last?
With proper aftercare, K-Tip extensions last 3–5 months before a move-up appointment is needed. The bonds remain secure, but as your natural hair grows the bonds gradually move further from the scalp — repositioning at a move-up appointment keeps them looking fresh and working correctly.
How long do K-Tip extensions last?
When applied and maintained correctly by a trained specialist, K-Tip extensions cause no damage to natural hair. Our damage-conscious technique ensures bonds are never placed too close to the scalp. Damage most commonly occurs from incorrect at-home removal — always have bonds professionally removed.
How many strands do I need?
Most clients need between 100 and 150 strands for full coverage volume and length. Clients adding volume only to fine hair may need 75–100. We'll give you a precise, personalised recommendation at your free consultation.
Can I colour or bleach K-Tip extensions?
Extensions can be professionally toned and tinted. However, we strongly advise against bleaching pre-bonded extensions, as bleach can weaken and dissolve the keratin bond. We always recommend ordering extensions in the desired final shade rather than colouring after installation.
Can I swim or exercise with K-Tip extensions?
Yes. We recommend securing hair before swimming and avoiding prolonged bond soaking. Always rinse thoroughly after salt or chlorine exposure and air dry before brushing. Exercise is absolutely fine — bonds remain secure during physical activity.
What is the price of K-Tip extensions in Perth?
K-Tip extension pricing depends on strand count, hair length, and colour customisation. Prices start from $800 for a partial installation. Full pricing is confirmed at your complimentary consultation — we believe in transparent, no-surprise quotes.
How often do I need to come back for maintenance?
Move-up appointments are recommended every 3–4 months. At your move-up, your specialist safely removes the grown-out bonds and repositions them at your new natural hair growth — refreshing the look and maintaining bond health.
Can I sleep with K-Tip extensions in?
Yes — K-Tips are permanently applied and worn around the clock. We recommend sleeping with hair in a loose braid or low ponytail to prevent tangling and matting at the bond area overnight. A silk or satin pillowcase also significantly reduces friction and extends bond life.
