Hair Weaves salons and stylists across the UK
What to expect from a hair weaves appointment
Hair weaves attach extension hair to small braided tracks across the scalp, using a sewn or interlock method, giving length and density that lasts six to ten weeks before the next refit. The braider takes time at consultation to map the parting, agree the hair texture and discuss aftercare. A full sew-in runs three to five hours. Aftercare keeps the scalp moisturised, the parting clean, and the leave-out blended. Compare hair-weave specialists in the UK below, with example work for both straight and textured hair types.

Frequently asked questions
How long does a sew-in weave take?
A full sew-in runs three to five hours including the braiding base, the sewn-in tracks and the cut-and-style finish. Tighter techniques such as an interlock or a closure-front add time.
How long does a weave last?
Six to ten weeks for most installs before the next refit. Leaving it longer risks matting and tension on the natural hair. Maintenance includes regular scalp care and re-tightening if needed.
How do I look after my natural hair under a weave?
Cleanse the scalp gently with a diluted shampoo through the parting, moisturise the natural hair regularly, and wrap at night with a satin scarf. A trichology check before a major install is wise for anyone with thinning or tension concerns.
How much does a sew-in weave cost?
A full sew-in install typically runs one hundred fifty to four hundred pounds in UK salons depending on technique and length. Hair itself is bought separately, usually a hundred to four hundred pounds for quality bundles. Closure or frontal pieces add to the total.
Is it comfortable to sleep with a weave?
Yes once the install has settled (usually after the first night). The braid base under the weave should not feel tight or pull at the edges. If it does, contact the stylist; persistent tension can damage the natural hair line.
