When fitted correctly and maintained properly, hair extensions will not damage your natural hair. The problem usually comes from poorly applied or badly matched extensions, which I see far too often. At Goddess Rising, my priority is always the health of your hair and scalp. I only use safe, professional methods and tailor the weight and placement to your unique hair type, so your natural hair can stay strong and healthy. I also provide full aftercare advice, to ensure that you can care for your extensions properly at home, which also avoids causing damage to your natural hair

With the right care and maintenance, the hair itself can be re-used for up to a year. Once you've had your extensions applied, your natural hair will continue to grow, which means that you will require a full refit every 6-10 weeks.
I do not offer "push ups" as some salons do, because opening and moving the beads can cause unnecessary damage. Instead, I fully remove and reapply your extensions on a new section of hair to avoid matting and tension.
Yes! You can curl, straighten, and style your extensions just like your own hair.
The use of heat tools can cause damage and shorten the life of your extension, so it's important that you do not use heat excessively.
I'll show you how to look after them properly, including the right products and techniques, so your extensions stay smooth, shiny, and beautiful for as long as possible.
Absolutely. I work with multiple premium suppliers, which gives me access to a wide variety of textures, colours, and lengths. I have over 9 years experience specialising in hair extensions. This means I can create a seamless blend that matches your own hair perfectly. Whether you want subtle thickness or a complete transformation, the end result will look natural.
There's no one-size-fits-all answer…it depends on your hair type, lifestyle, and desired result. That's why I offer a detailed consultation, where I'll assess your hair and recommend the method (nano rings, tiny tips, braidless weave, or secret weave) that will work best for you.
Yes, and I'll teach you the best way to do it. I also offer luxury wash and blow-dry appointments here in the salon if you'd like to treat yourself and let me take care of it for you.
Unfortunately, I see this a lot. Many clients come to me with extensions that have been fitted incorrectly, are too heavy for their hair, or just don't blend. In most cases, I can safely remove and refit them, or create a new set that suits your hair properly.
Not at all. The system is designed to be lightweight and breathable. The mesh distributes the weight of the added hair evenly, so there's no tension or pulling on your natural hair. Many clients say they forget it's even there once it's fitted.
Mesh integration won't address underlying hair loss issues, but one of the main benefits of mesh integration is that your natural hair can continue to grow safely beneath the system. Because the weight is distributed across the mesh (instead of directly onto fragile strands), it allows weak hair to rest and recover while giving you full coverage.
After your initial fitting, you'll come back for a pinch-forward appointment at 4 weeks. This is a quick check-up where I tighten the system to keep everything secure. Around 3–4 weeks after that, you'll return for a full refit. This involves carefully removing the entire system, brushing out the natural hair you've shed (we all lose 80–100 hairs a day naturally, but because they've been held under the mesh, they're released all at once at this stage), then treating you to a relaxing wash and scalp treatment before reapplying your system fresh.
The closure itself can last 3–6 months with proper aftercare, and the premium wefts used within the system are reusable for 9–12 months. With regular maintenance and care, this makes mesh integration a long-term solution.
Yes - mesh integration is an investment in both time and finances. It's not a quick fix, and I'll always be honest about that. During your consultation, we'll talk through your lifestyle, goals, and any alternative options to make sure this is the right solution for you. That said, for the women who choose mesh integration, it's often life-changing. The transformation in confidence, freedom, and self-expression is priceless.
No. Mesh integration is designed to be discreet, seamless, and completely undetectable. The added hair is blended perfectly with your own, so it looks like it's growing from your scalp. Even close-up, it's virtually invisible.
Yes, you can wash, blow-dry, curl, and straighten your hair as usual. I'll give you full aftercare advice and recommend the best products to keep your system in beautiful condition between maintenance appointments.
