Great Lengths Tape Extensions
For clients looking to add length, volume or colour with a lightweight, discreet finish, Great Lengths Tape Extensions offer one of the most comfortable and natural-looking extension methods available.
Great Lengths Tape Extensions are made from premium, ethically sourced human hair and are applied using ultra-thin adhesive tabs. Small sections of your natural hair are gently sandwiched between two extension tapes, creating a secure, flat attachment that sits comfortably against the scalp and remains virtually invisible when blended into your own hair.
At Melanie Richards Hair & Beauty Salon, every set of Great Lengths Tape Extensions is professionally colour matched and tailored to your individual hair type, ensuring a flawless, natural-looking result. Their lightweight design allows for natural movement while adding beautiful length, volume or highlights without placing unnecessary stress on your hair.

Natural Cut Tapes
For clients looking for an exceptionally natural finish, Great Lengths Natural Cut Tape Extensions offer a beautifully discreet way to add length, volume and movement.
What makes Natural Cut Tapes unique is their naturally tapered layering, which mimics the way natural hair grows. This helps create softer, more seamless blending between your own hair and the extensions, resulting in a finish that feels effortless and completely natural.
At Melanie Richard's Hair & Beauty Salon, we love Natural Cut Tapes because they combine premium quality human hair with an invisible, comfortable application. Each set is carefully colour matched, customised and blended to complement your individual hairstyle, ensuring your extensions enhance your natural hair rather than overpower it.
Made using bespoke, double-drawn hair, Natural Cut Tapes offer beautiful consistency from root to tip and can be professionally removed and reapplied, making them a flexible and long-lasting extension choice.
With the correct care and maintenance, Natural Cut Tapes can typically be worn for around 6–8 weeks before being professionally moved up and reapplied.
Great Lengths Slim Line Tape Extensions
Great Lengths Slim Line Tape Extensions are an excellent option for clients who want a discreet, lightweight extension method that delivers beautiful results quickly.
Designed with fine and thinning hair in mind, Slim Line Tapes have an ultra-thin profile that sits comfortably and discreetly against the head. Their lightweight design makes them ideal for clients who may have previously struggled with traditional extension methods due to finer hair.
Whether you're looking to add natural-looking volume, create subtle length or introduce a pop of colour, Slim Line Tapes offer a quick and versatile transformation with a comfortable, barely-there feel.
Their efficient application makes them a popular choice for busy clients, with many transformations completed in as little as 45–60 minutes, followed by expert cutting and blending to create a seamless finish.The colours can be blended together to create a range of looks. Mix a fashionable grey tone with a pretty pink - the possibilities are endless!
How Are Great Lengths Tape Extensions Applied?
Every tape extension appointment begins with a personalised consultation to ensure the method, colour and placement are right for your hair.
During your fitting, your stylist will prepare your hair by cleansing, drying and carefully sectioning it before applying the tapes. The extensions are fitted by sandwiching small sections of your natural hair between two lightweight tape wefts, creating a secure and discreet application.
Once all tapes are fitted, your stylist will customise the cut and blend the extensions into your natural hairstyle. Whether you prefer smooth and sleek, soft waves or a more textured finish, we'll style your extensions to achieve a result that feels completely natural and unique to you.
A typical tape extension application takes approximately 45–60 minutes, depending on the number of tapes required and the final look you're hoping to achieve.
Tape Extension Maintenance & Aftercare
Great Lengths Tape Extensions are designed to be reusable, making them a fantastic option for clients who want a long-term hair transformation with ongoing flexibility.
Most clients return to the salon every 6–8 weeks for a professional maintenance appointment. During this appointment, your extensions will be carefully removed, your natural hair checked, and the tapes professionally reapplied to accommodate your natural hair growth.
Looking after your extensions at home is essential for keeping them soft, shiny and beautiful. We'll recommend the best professional products for your hair and show you how to wash, brush and style your extensions correctly to protect both your natural hair and your investment.
For personalised advice, our salon team can recommend the ideal extension care products, available through our salon and online shop.

How Ethical Are Great Lengths?
«Every single strand of hair supplied by Great Lengths is ethically sourced from India, and revenue from the purchase of the hair is put back into the community where the hair originated.
How Are Great Lengths Hair Extensions Sourced?
«Great Lengths 100% human hair is sourced in India during Hindu rituals. Women's and men’s hair is voluntarily sacrificed and donated to temples by complete shaving of the head, a process known as tonsuring.
Great Lengths is committed to ensuring that all hair is sourced ethically and willingly and that a fair price is paid. Payment for the hair is then used to support the local community by developing temples and medical services, and supporting charitable causes.
How Long Does It Take To Have Tapes Fitted?
«Tape-in extensions can be applied in as little as an hour and can last for up to 8 weeks. Because they’re pre-bonded, the application process is quicker and more efficient than many other methods.
Can My Great Lengths Tapes Be Used Again?
«Yes – our stylists can reapply your Great Lengths tape-in extensions up to three times. They’re designed for easy removal and reapplication, and when it’s time to take them out, we’ll do it gently to make sure your natural hair stays healthy and damage-free.
