Frequently Asked Questions
Orders & Account
Do I need an account to place an order?
No, you can check out as a guest. Creating an account is quicker for future orders, lets you track your delivery, and gives you access to your order history and saved shades. You can register at the start of checkout or any time afterwards from the account icon at the top of the page.
Can I change or cancel my order after placing it?
We pack orders quickly so they reach you the next working day, which means there is a short window to make changes. If you need to amend the shade, length, delivery address or cancel, message us via WhatsApp or email orders@hairchoiceextensions.com as soon as possible and we will do everything we can to help before the order is dispatched.
How do I track my order?
Once your order is dispatched, you will receive a confirmation email with a tracking link. If you have an account, you can also track from the order history page. If you cannot find the email, please check your junk folder before getting in touch.

Yes, we ship worldwide. International delivery is priced by region and typically takes 1 to 7 working days depending on destination. Exact rates and transit times are calculated at checkout based on your delivery address.
For most international destinations, any import duties and taxes are calculated and collected at checkout, so there are no surprise fees on arrival. See the question below for full details.
Will I have to pay customs or import duties?
For most international destinations, any import duties and taxes are calculated and collected at checkout, so there are no surprise fees when your order arrives. For a small number of destinations where this is not available, your country's customs authority may charge local duties or VAT on arrival. We recommend checking with your local customs office if you are unsure what to expect.
Has my parcel been delivered to the wrong address?
Please check the tracking link first, sometimes parcels are left with a neighbour or in a safe place. If you still cannot locate your order 24 hours after the tracking shows delivered, please get in touch with your order number and we will open an investigation with the courier.
Colour Matching
How do I choose the right shade?
Our shade chart on every product page shows our full colour range with close up texture and tone references. If you are between shades, or your natural hair has highlights, balayage or rooted tones, we strongly recommend using our free WhatsApp colour match service before ordering. Send us a few well lit photos and one of our specialists will recommend the right shade for you, usually within a few hours during opening times.
What is the Colour Match service?
Our Colour Match service lets you order without choosing a shade yourself. Add the Colour Match option to your basket, upload a few photos of your natural hair on the product page, and our team will hand pick the perfect match before dispatch. It is the easiest way to be confident your extensions will blend seamlessly.
My natural hair is multi-tonal or has highlights, which shade should I choose?
Multi-tonal hair almost always benefits from a colour match consultation rather than guessing from a screen. Rooted, balayage and highlighted shades are designed to blend, but matching the tones at the ends of your hair is what makes the extensions invisible. Message us on WhatsApp with photos in natural daylight and we will recommend the best option.
Can I see the shades in person before I order?
Yes. We offer physical colour rings so you can match against your own hair in your own lighting before committing to a full set. Our Signature Flat Weft Colour Ring and Tape Colour Ring both feature our complete human hair shade range and are available to buy from the Hair Choice store. For a free alternative, our WhatsApp colour match service matches thousands of customers a year, please note that on screen matches cannot always be guaranteed due to factors such as lighting, filters and image quality.
About Our Hair
Are your extensions made from real human hair?
Our luxury weft and tape extensions are 100% Remy human hair, sourced ethically and processed with the cuticles intact and aligned in the same direction. This is what gives the hair its natural movement, shine and longevity. Our clip-in ranges are made from premium heat resistant synthetic fibre, pre styled and designed for easy, accessible wear.
What does Remy mean?
Remy refers to human hair where the cuticles are kept intact and all run in the same direction, root to tip. This prevents tangling, retains natural shine and makes the hair last significantly longer than non-Remy alternatives. Our weft and tape extensions are Remy human hair.
How long will my extensions last?
With proper care, our clip-in extensions last for several wears. As they are pre styled from premium synthetic fibre, the price point makes them easy to replace whenever you are due a fresh set. Our human hair tape and weft extensions typically last 9 to 12 months before they need replenishing, depending on how often you wear them, the styling tools you use and your aftercare routine. Our care guide has full advice.
Can I colour, dye or bleach my extensions?
Our human hair weft and tape extensions can be toned or deepened by a qualified colourist, but we never recommend lifting (bleaching) extensions yourself. Lightening processes weaken the hair and can cause irreversible damage. Always patch test first and seek a professional. We cannot accept returns on extensions that have been coloured.
Can I style my extensions with heat?
Our human hair weft and tape extensions can be straightened, curled and blow dried just like your own hair, we recommend keeping heat under 180°C and always using a heat protectant. Our clip-in synthetic ranges have a lower heat limit of 120°C, so please follow the guidance on the product page to avoid damage.
Will my extensions match my hair if I dye my hair regularly?
Yes, as long as you match your extensions to the freshly coloured tone of your hair. We recommend ordering your extensions just after a salon visit so the colour is at its truest. If your roots and ends differ significantly, consider a rooted shade or a colour match consultation so we can recommend the best blend.

Caring for Your Extensions
How do I wash my extensions?
Wash your human hair extensions one to two times a week using a sulphate free shampoo and conditioner. Work product through gently from mid length to ends, avoiding the bonds or tape. Rinse thoroughly with cool water, blot with a microfibre towel and allow them to air dry on a flat surface. Avoid wringing or rubbing, extensions do not have a scalp producing natural oils, so over washing dries them out.
Can I sleep, swim or exercise in my extensions?
Clip-in extensions should be removed before sleeping, swimming or intense exercise to protect both the hair and your scalp. We recommend you avoid getting your extensions wet wherever possible, especially in chlorinated or sea water. If they do get wet, rinse with fresh water and tie your hair up to reduce tangling and damage.
Do my extensions need a special brush?
Yes, extensions should be brushed with a loop brush or a soft bristle extension friendly brush, starting from the ends and working upwards in small sections. Avoid harsh tugging at the roots or clips. We sell brushes designed specifically for extension wear in our Accessories collection.

Do you offer trade pricing for salons and stylists?
Yes. Our trade programme is designed for qualified hair professionals, salon owners and educators. Approved trade customers receive wholesale pricing, priority dispatch and dedicated account support.
