Tannum Sands’s Top 10 Hair Extension Specialists

The Profile

A1 Hair Extensions operates from a dedicated room inside the Colour Me Mel shop in Gladstone and runs as an appointment-driven specialist rather than a full-service salon. Clients use a focused consultation and fitting space where the owner-operator handles installs, maintenance bookings and personalised aftercare guidance in a quiet, concentrated setting that prioritises extension longevity and finish.

Owner-operator training was completed on the Sunshine Coast and the business advertises 100% human Russian Remy double-drawn hair for new installs, with free consultations for new clients and a clear maintenance rhythm recommended every four to six weeks. The stylist supplies a recommended product list including Muk Ultra Soft and Moroccan oil and explains policies such as avoiding keratin or protein treatments on extensions.

A1 Hair Extensions also offers complimentary remote colour-matching via natural-light photos and enforces an explicit post-tape 48-hour wait before the first wash, plus a no-bleach policy for extension hair to protect fibre integrity. Maintenance bookings are available online and the stylist can arrange out-of-hours appointments for an additional surcharge to suit clients who need flexibility.
