If you’re based near Five Mile Shopping Centre in Frankton and you’ve been thinking about hair extensions, there’s one name in Queenstown that consistently comes up: Iron + Ivy Hair Studio. Queenstown’s highest-rated extensions specialists, we offer a range of professional extension methods for clients across the Frankton, Five Mile, and wider Queenstown area — with results that look and feel genuinely natural.
Why Iron + Ivy for Extensions?
Hair extensions are one of the most technical services in professional hairdressing — and the quality of the result depends almost entirely on the skill of the stylist applying them. Poor placement, wrong colour matching, or the wrong method for your hair type can result in visible bonds, unnatural movement, and damage to your natural hair.
At Iron + Ivy, extensions are a genuine specialisation. Our team has completed extensive training in multiple extension methods and applies that expertise to every set we install. We take the time to match colour precisely, choose the right method for your hair type and lifestyle, and place each extension for maximum blending and comfort.
Our Extension Methods
Nano bead extensions: Our most popular method, and one of the most advanced available. Tiny metal rings — far smaller than traditional micro rings — attach individual strands of extension hair to your natural hair with no heat and no glue. The result is virtually invisible, moves completely naturally, and is among the most hair-friendly methods available. Ideal for finer hair types or anyone concerned about damage.
Hand-tied weft extensions: Weft extensions involve rows of hair sewn onto small beaded tracks. When applied correctly, they sit flat to the scalp and are completely undetectable. They’re particularly effective for adding volume as well as length, and they move beautifully.
Tape-in extensions: Thin wefts of hair bonded to sections of natural hair using medical-grade adhesive tape. Fast to apply and comfortable to wear — a popular option for clients wanting a quicker application time.
What to Expect at Your Extensions Consultation
Every extensions client at Iron + Ivy starts with a consultation. We’ll look at your natural hair’s current health and strength, discuss the length and volume you’re hoping to achieve, match your extension colour to your natural hair (or your colour service result), and recommend the most appropriate method for your specific situation.
We’ll also give you a realistic timeframe and pricing picture before you commit to anything. Extensions are an investment, and we believe in complete transparency about what’s involved.
Extension Aftercare and Maintenance
Properly cared-for extensions can last 3–4 months before a move-up appointment is needed (where the bonds or beads are repositioned as your natural hair grows). We provide every extensions client with a detailed aftercare guide and recommend specific products to keep both your extensions and your natural hair in excellent condition between appointments.
Conveniently Located for Five Mile and Frankton Clients
Iron + Ivy is located on Grant Road, Queenstown Central — a short, easy drive from Five Mile Shopping Centre and the surrounding Frankton area. Extensions appointments are available throughout the week, and we’re always happy to answer questions before you book.
