Joseph Mourad is your go-to man for quality “I can’t believe they’re
not real” hair extensions. His salon in Sydney’s Double Bay, Joseph
Mourad Hair & Beauty, is the hot spot for premium quality human
Jhair extensions, applied with expert precision and care by Mourad himself.
With the likes of Miranda Kerr, Mya and Mel B on his client list, Mourad
knows how to turn hair from drab to fab. With more than 30 years’
experience in the hairdressing industry, his skills are highly sought after –
especially for his ability to create beautiful, longer hair with hair extensions.
‘Hair extensions are about giving people beautiful and strong hair,’ says
Mourad. ‘Extensions provide volume, length and manageability – and
make getting ready for a night out or special occasion so much easier. It’s
also surprisingly affordable.’
Mourad prides himself on using only the highest quality human hair
extensions. He is skilled in all hair extension techniques but his preferred
method is the innovative ultrasonic cold fusion technique.
The ultrasonic cold fusion technique allows for multi-strand bonding,
making the whole process effi cient and, importantly, preserving the
strength and integrity of your natural hair. Bonding clinical keratin with
keratin found in the hair shaft, the extensions are attached to the natural
hair very close to each other so there are no telltale signs.
‘The technology is so advanced and the bonding so seamless,’ says
Mourad. ‘It achieves impeccable results and the extensions can be
completely undetectable to the eye. And, because there is no use of
heat, glue or clips to bond the extensions, the client’s natural hair is not
compromised or damaged.’
When applying the extensions, emphasis is placed on properly blending
colour and thickness with the natural hair. Attached strand by strand, the
extensions can be attached to long, short, straight or wavy hair as long as
the natural length is more than 2cm.
Each strand has about 20 hairs in it and a full head can take from
100 to 300 strands, depending on the required thickness. In just a few
hours, hair is transformed from short, thin strands to thick, long locks. ‘The
latest advances provide long and voluminous hair without the need to wait
for natural hair to grow out,’ says Mourad. ‘It can completely transform
your look.’
Extensions can last anywhere between six and 12 months. Once
attached, the extensions can be treated as normal. ‘Care for your extensions
the way you would your natural hair,’ Mourad advises. ‘It’s important to be
particularly careful when combing and blow-drying your hair. However, hair
extensions can be cut and coloured just like your natural hair.’
When applied by a renowned hair extension specialist, you can enjoy
a full head of fl owing, thicker hair – and look forward to a good hair day,
every day. Gone are the days of waiting what seems like an eternity to
grow out a shorter haircut, or berating Mother Nature for not bestowing
thick and healthy tresses. With hair extensions by Joseph Mourad, you
can rock fl owing locks to rival the celebrity set. csbm
