Tape Removal & Blowdry
Safe removal of tape hair extensions, plus a wash and blow-dry, so you leave looking finished rather than in the state hair is usually in straight after removal.
What to know
- Removal is done with a solvent that breaks the adhesive bond. Done properly, it doesn’t damage your own hair.
- Expect your hair to look and feel thinner immediately afterwards. That’s normal — it’s the hair you’d have shed naturally over the weeks coming out all at once, not new damage.
- Consider booking a treatment or a cut at the same time. Hair that’s been under tapes often needs the ends tidying.

“Absolutely lovely. I have very damaged abused hair from years of bleaching and extensions. They were kind, polite and non-judgmental towards my hair concerns. They are are real miracle workers. My hair has gone from a damaged birds nest to a beautiful, well conditioned sleek professional cut. I really couldn’t be happier. Thank you so much.”

“My experience with Peter James Scalp and Hair Clinic has been truly life-changing, and I do not say that lightly.When I first walked through their doors, I was in a very vulnerable place. My hair and scalp had been severely damaged by poorly fitted extensions, leaving me not only in physical discomfort but emotionally distressed. The damage was so extreme that I had resorted to wearing partial wigs to hide what had happened. I felt embarrassed, defeated, and completely stripped of my confidence. My hair had always been part of my identity, and I genuinely feared I might lose it — along with a part of myself.From the very first consultation, James treated me with such kindness, patience, and understanding. He truly listened — not just to the practical concerns about my hair and scalp, but to the emotional toll it had taken on me. There was no judgement, only reassurance and a clear, knowledgeable plan forward. Alongside Peter, they carefully and thoughtfully began the process of restoring my hair’s health.The transformation has been nothing short of remarkable. Through their expert product recommendations, gentle treatments, and meticulous hands-on care, my scalp has healed and my hair has been brought back to life. But what they restored goes far beyond hair. They gave me back my confidence, my dignity, and my sense of self.What makes this clinic so special is not only their exceptional expertise, but their compassion. Every appointment feels unhurried and personal. The salon itself is a calm, welcoming sanctuary — a place where you feel safe and cared for. The entire team are warm, professional, and genuinely invested in their clients’ wellbeing.Without their delicate care, ongoing support, and honest guidance, I truly believe my outcome could have been very different. I am beyond grateful for the rescue they provided during one of the most difficult periods of my life.I cannot recommend them highly enough. If I could give 10 stars, I absolutely would. Thank you, from the bottom of my heart, for everything you have done for me. I am, without question, a lifelong client.”

“I had a really wonderful, 10/10 experience at PeterJames Hairdressing this morning. After cutting my own hair for several years due to the pandemic and then having newborn twins, my hair was in a sorry state 😳 - totally uneven, jagged layers, a real mess. Zowie did an incredible job repairing my hair and transforming it into something I could be proud of (and no longer embarrassed by)! Peter, James, and Zowie all took the time at the start to discuss different options with me, clearly communicating what they thought would suit my hair and face shape best. They made me feel so heard and valued, and just really good about myself! The process of cutting and styling my hair went so smoothly. Zowie was so easy to talk to and she did a great job communicating each part of the process as it was happening. I couldn't be happier with the end result. Lesson learned, no more cutting my own hair 😆! PeterJames Hairdressing, I'll definitely be back. Thank you so much! ❤️”

“Zowie was fantastic - she spent time feeling my hair and listening to my struggles with it before recommending the type of cut that would be best, checking in with me through the whole process. I felt very safe in her hands!”
