Hair extensions have come a long way. When applied by an experienced stylist with properly sourced hair, they’re virtually undetectable — seamlessly blending with your natural hair to add length, volume, or both. At Revolver Hair Studio in Arrowtown, extensions are fitted with the same level of precision we bring to every service.
Extension Methods We Offer
Tape-in extensions — The most popular method. Pre-taped wefts are sandwiched either side of a thin section of natural hair, lying completely flat against the head. They’re lightweight, comfortable, and can be repositioned as your hair grows. Tape-ins typically last 6–8 weeks before a move-up appointment is needed.
Micro-ring extensions — Individual strands attached to your natural hair using a small metal ring, crimped into place without heat or glue. Micro-rings are extremely discreet and offer a natural movement that many clients prefer. They last 10–12 weeks before maintenance.
Colour Matching for Arrowtown’s Diverse Hair Tones
The most important part of any extensions service is the colour match. Extensions that don’t perfectly blend with your natural hair will always look artificial, regardless of how well they’re applied. At Revolver, we source extensions in a wide range of tones and can have them colour-matched or custom-tinted to your exact shade. If you have balayage or highlights, we’ll select extensions that reflect that variation rather than applying a flat colour that stands out.
Caring for Extensions in Central Otago
Extensions require specific care — especially in Arrowtown’s dry, UV-exposed environment. We recommend sulphate-free shampoo, regular conditioning treatments, and avoiding heat directly on the bonds or rings. We’ll give you a full aftercare guide at your fitting appointment, and we stock everything you need in studio.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long do hair extensions last in Arrowtown’s climate?
Tape-in extensions typically last 6–8 weeks before a move-up appointment. Micro-ring extensions last 10–12 weeks. Arrowtown’s dry alpine climate is generally fine for extensions — just keep them well moisturised with quality products.
How much do hair extensions cost at Revolver?
Extension pricing depends on the method chosen, the number of wefts or strands required, and whether any colour work is needed to match them. We provide a full quote at your complimentary consultation.
Will extensions damage my natural hair?
When applied and maintained correctly, extensions cause no damage to natural hair. The key is professional fitting, following aftercare advice, and keeping up with maintenance appointments so bonds or rings are never left too long.
Can I colour my hair after getting extensions?
We recommend completing any colour services before fitting extensions so we can match them accurately. Colouring after extensions are fitted requires care — speak to your stylist about what’s safe based on your specific extension type.
