Types of Permanent Hair Extensions We Offer
At The DO Salon, we don’t believe in one extension method for everyone. We assess your natural hair and recommend the system that best suits your desired result.
Tape Extensions
Tape extensions are lightweight adhesive wefts designed to lie flat against the hair for a discreet finish.
They provide soft, natural movement and can be a practical option for adding length or volume without a bulky feel.
Applications generally require maintenance every 6–8 weeks and, with appropriate care, the hair can be reused.
Best for: Fine to medium hair, adding volume or length, quick application and a lightweight finish.
Weft Extensions
Weft extensions are our speciality.
We love wefts because they can create beautiful volume and length while offering an economical, versatile option for regular extension wearers.
Wefts can be customised according to your natural density, desired amount of hair and preferred styling habits.
Best for: Medium to thicker hair types, clients wanting significant volume or length, and those looking for a versatile everyday extension solution.
Â
SHOWPONY HAIR EXTENSIONS
We exclusively use Showpony.
Showpony hair extensions are made from 100% human Remy Grade A+ hair, giving you the softness, movement and natural appearance expected from premium human hair.
We choose Showpony because quality, ethical practices and sustainability matter to us. Showpony is B Corp certified, aligning with our commitment to working with brands that take responsible business practices seriously.
We can customise your colour and length to create a seamless result that complements your natural hair.
OUR SIGNATURE PROCESS: FROM CONSULT TO CROWN
Hair extensions aren’t one-size-fits-all — and neither are we.
Every service begins with a $30 in-salon consultation, redeemable against your extension appointment.
We focus on three things:
- Hair Health
- Aesthetic Goals
- Lifestyle Fit
STRAND & SCALP ASSESSMENT
We’ll assess your natural hair density, scalp sensitivity, condition and extension history to help determine the most appropriate method.
Â
COLOUR MATCH PERFECTION
Whether you’re blonde, brunette, balayage or transitioning shades, we’ll carefully match your extensions to your natural colour.
Where necessary, multiple tones can be combined to replicate the natural dimension in your hair.
Â
CUSTOM FITTING & PLACEMENT
Extensions are placed with your face shape, natural hair fall and preferred styling habits in mind.
Â
AFTERCARE PLAN
You’ll leave with advice tailored to your extension method, including washing, brushing, styling, maintenance and recommended products.
Â
REAL HAIR, REAL RESULTS
Your extensions should feel as natural on day 30 as they did on day one.
Our speciality is creating extensions that don’t look like an obvious add-on. Whether you’re adding subtle fullness or creating long, dramatic mermaid hair, we focus on balance, blending and natural movement.
We combine technical expertise with precision cutting and personalised placement to make your extensions work seamlessly with your own hair.

Hair Extension FAQs
How long do your hair extensions last?
Our Showpony extensions are premium Remy human hair designed to provide excellent longevity with proper care.
Wefts: approximately 6–12 months with appropriate care, with maintenance or move-ups generally required every 6–8 weeks.
Tapes: approximately 6–8 weeks per application and can be reused when properly maintained.
Actual longevity depends on home care, products, styling habits and maintenance.
Do extensions ruin your real hair?
When correctly selected, applied and maintained, extensions can be worn while respecting the condition of your natural hair. Correct placement, suitable weight and regular maintenance are essential.
What's the maintenance like?
Maintenance depends on the method. You'll need to follow specific washing, brushing and styling recommendations and return for scheduled maintenance appointments.
We'll provide a personalised aftercare plan so you know exactly how to look after your extensions.
Can I exercise or swim with hair extensions?
Yes, but extensions require additional care around exercise, swimming and exposure to moisture. We'll explain how to protect and care for your hair based on your chosen method.
Are hair extensions worth it?
For many clients, absolutely. Extensions can add length, volume, fullness and styling options that may be difficult to achieve naturally.
During your consultation, we'll help you decide whether extensions are a worthwhile investment for your hair goals and lifestyle.
How much do hair extensions cost, and does the price vary by method?
Yes. The cost varies depending on the method, amount of hair required, length, colour and desired result.
We provide personalised extension quotes following your consultation so you know exactly what is required before your appointment.
