russian hair extensions in paddington. nanobead and keratin bond, fitted by natalia.
the hair.
russian hair. sourced ourselves.
every set of extensions at ren is made from russian hair that natalia personally sources from trusted agents in russia. it's slavic origin, single donor, with the cuticle fully intact and the strands aligned from root to tip — which is why it moves like your own hair grows, holds colour the way natural hair holds colour, and doesn't fray, mat, or tell on you over time.
we offer two ranges. our premium russian hair undergoes minimal processing — natural shades last up to twenty-four months; blondes up to twelve, since the colour requires very light processing. our virgin slavic range is untreated, never processed or dyed, and lasts up to thirty-six months. dark and medium brown shades are usually virgin; lighter shades are available upon request.
russian hair is denser than most. one of the reasons clients say their extensions feel weighted, not stacked. the other reason is how they're fitted — by hand, one application at a time, by natalia herself.
the methods. fitted by hand.
natalia fits two methods at ren — nanobead extensions and keratin bond extensions. the method that suits you is chosen during your consultation, based on your hair type, density, lifestyle, and the result you're after.
nanobead extensions — small silicone-lined rings, smaller than traditional micro beads. no heat, no glue. discreet at the root, easy to blend through fine to medium hair, and gentle enough that the same hair can be reused across multiple maintenance cycles. recommended maintenance every six to eight weeks.
the mini bond — our smaller variant of the keratin bond. heat-fused at the root, finer than industry-standard bonds for a more discreet finish at the hairline. longer-wearing, with the most natural-looking root match. recommended for clients who want the longest stretch between maintenance — every two and a half to three months.
fittings run between two and four hours, depending on density and method. removal is professional, careful, and quoted separately — it's not included in the fitting, but we don't lock you in either. you can leave at any stage.
we don't fit a method to a price tier. we fit it to your hair, your density, and the way you live in it.
sustainability.
at ren, russian hair extensions are designed to last. we re-tip them by hand so the same ethically sourced hair can be reused across two to three maintenance cycles before being refreshed. a small craft, carefully applied — keeping waste minimal, and the hair you've already invested in working harder for longer.
textures.
russian hair at ren is fitted in three textures — straight, wavy, and curly — so your extensions match what your own hair already does. during your consultation, we'll assess your natural fall and density, then match the texture and colour that blend in seamlessly. extensions should sit with your hair, not against it.
treatments + extensions.
some hair benefits from a treatment before extensions go in. ren offers nanoplasty and smoothing treatments that soften texture and reduce frizz, creating a smoother foundation for extensions to sit against. treatments and fittings can be done in the same appointment, so the result lands together.
