HairNova Angel offers five professional hair extension methods to suit different hair types, lifestyles, and budgets. Tape-in extensions use ultra-thin adhesive strips and are lightweight, discreet, and reusable. Nano and micro ring extensions attach individual strands using a tiny metal ring with no heat or adhesive, making them ideal for finer hair. Weave extensions are sewn into small braids of your natural hair and suit thicker hair types well. Keratin bond extensions offer a long-lasting natural finish with individual bonds that blend seamlessly. Clip-in extensions are a commitment-free option for an instant transformation. Our stylists will assess your hair during a free consultation to recommend the best method for you.
HairNova Angel at 164a Pentonville Road, London N1 9JE is just a 2-minute walk from King’s Cross St Pancras station, making it one of the most conveniently located luxury hair extension salons in Central London. The salon is also approximately 7 to 8 minutes on foot from Angel tube station on the Northern line, and within easy walking distance of Farringdon station. We are well connected by multiple tube lines including Northern, Victoria, Metropolitan, Circle, and Piccadilly, making HairNova Angel easily accessible from all areas of London. Street parking is also available nearby on Pentonville Road for clients travelling by car.
Keratin bond extensions, sometimes called fusion bonds, use a small amount of keratin glue applied with a heat tool to attach individual strands of extension hair to your natural hair. They provide an exceptionally natural look and typically last 3 to 5 months with proper care. Nano ring extensions attach individual strands using a tiny metal ring that is clamped into place with no heat or adhesive at all, making them a gentler option particularly suited to fine or sensitive hair. Nano rings are also easier to reposition and reuse. At HairNova Angel in Islington, our stylists assess your hair type, lifestyle, and maintenance routine during a free consultation to recommend which method will give you the best long-term result.
At HairNova Angel, a keratin bond extension fitting for a half head typically takes approximately 2 hours, and a full head fitting takes approximately 2.5 hours. The time can vary slightly depending on your natural hair thickness, the volume of extension hair being applied, and the complexity of the colour match required. We always recommend booking a free 20-minute consultation before your fitting appointment so our stylists can assess your hair, confirm the method, agree on the volume required, and give you a precise time estimate. Same-day consultation and fitting appointments are occasionally available depending on availability. Call us on 020 7993 5484 to check what is available.
Yes, hair extensions can work beautifully for fine or thin hair, but the method chosen is critically important. At HairNova Angel, we typically recommend nano ring or micro ring extensions for clients with fine hair, as the tiny individual bonds are lightweight and place minimal stress on the natural hair strands. Tape-in extensions can also work well for fine hair when applied carefully with the right volume. We do not recommend keratin bond or weave extensions for very fine hair as these methods can be too heavy and may cause stress to the hair follicle over time. Our stylists assess your hair density, condition, and scalp health thoroughly during a free consultation before recommending any extension method.
Yes, HairNova Angel offers professional weave hair extensions at our Islington salon. Weave extensions, also known as sew-in extensions, involve braiding sections of your natural hair and sewing wefts of extension hair into the braids using a needle and thread. This method requires no adhesive or heat at the bond point, making it a popular choice for clients who prefer a chemical-free attachment method. Weave extensions are best suited to thicker, stronger hair types and can last up to 2 to 3 months with proper care. At HairNova Angel, weave extension fittings start from £120 for a half head and £180 for a full head, with the cost of hair additional. Book a free consultation on 020 7993 5484 to discuss whether weave extensions are right for your hair.
Yes, you can swim and exercise with hair extensions, but there are precautions you should follow to protect both your extensions and your natural hair. When swimming, tie your hair in a braid or bun before entering the water to minimise tangling. Rinse your hair with clean water immediately after swimming, particularly after exposure to chlorine or saltwater, as both can dry out and degrade extension hair over time. After exercising, allow your hair to dry fully before tying it up, as damp hair at the bond area can weaken tape adhesion or cause matting around ring bonds. At HairNova Angel, we provide a full aftercare guide with every extension appointment covering swimming, exercise, and daily maintenance in detail.
Yes, HairNova Angel offers professional clip-in hair extension fittings starting from £60. Clip-in extensions are the most flexible and commitment-free extension method available — they can be removed and reapplied at home, require no bonds or adhesive, and cause no permanent change to your natural hair. They are ideal for clients who want to add length or volume for special occasions, events, or simply to try extensions before committing to a longer-term method. At HairNova Angel, we professionally fit and colour-match clip-in extensions to your natural hair to ensure a seamless, natural-looking result. We can also advise you on how to apply and remove them at home yourself. Call 020 7993 5484 to book.
Proper aftercare significantly extends the life and appearance of your hair extensions. Brush gently from the ends upward using a soft-bristle or loop brush at least twice a day, never pulling from the root. Wash with a sulphate-free shampoo and avoid applying conditioner or oil products directly onto the bonds, rings, or tape roots. Sleep with your hair in a loose braid to prevent overnight tangling. Always apply a heat protectant before using any styling tools and avoid directing heat onto the bond area. For tape-in extensions, return every 6 to 8 weeks for repositioning. For nano ring and keratin bond extensions, return every 3 to 4 months for maintenance. HairNova Angel provides a detailed written aftercare guide with every appointment.
