St Davids’s Top 10 Hair Extension Technicians & Specialists

The Profile

Beauty Lounge operates both as a specialist extension salon and an online retailer, stocking clip-ins, tape-ins, nano rings, wefts and a wide selection of wigs and hair pieces; the shop layout and product breadth let clients try branded items before committing to a fitting or bespoke application.
