WHY KIA KNOTS?

We are Kia Knots, a new & revolutionary hair extension technique born in Manchester that uses NO glue, NO chemicals, NO machines, NO metal, NO glue, NO tapes. We use our own 100% natural human hair straight from source in Cambodia. This is our very own hair supply chain unique to us and the hair is exceptional quality. The hair is cuticle aligned hair meaning the hair is from one head and not various and put together like most extension brands.

Our founder, Kia Styles, set out with one purpose – finding a way of giving customers beautiful hair extensions that didn’t require harmful chemicals and that wouldn’t damage the hair when it came to removing them. As a Wella Director Level and Trained Stylist for over 18 years, Kia was up to the challenge. Kia had tried every available hair extension method on the market, which led her to come up with the Kia Knot technique.

After conducting extensive research and trialling different techniques, she finally engineered the perfect new and healthy way to add hair extensions, taking inspiration from a Traditional Knot Extension Technique but engineering this technique to fit it with all hair types rather than thicker hair types.

Our healthy extension technique allows us to deliver tailored solutions for every client, from bespoke colouring to adjusted application, ideal if you wear your hair up often. Our incredible Senior Stylists in our Manchester megasalon are ready for anything. We can colour your own hair, do your roots, blend your hair, whatever it takes on the day to ensure your hair and extensions completely match and you leave looking beautiful and transformed! 

We understand how important it is that your extensions last and are easy to maintain which is why our extensions, when maintained correctly, can be worn for over a year. Maintenance appointments should be booked every 3 – 4 months in our Manchester or Dublin salons to allow us to properly maintain your extensions and ensure they last the full 12 months. Using the unique Knot Extension technique allows the hair to still grow underneath it, so your hair won’t be matted or damaged when it comes to removing them if you have been looking after them properly.

Fitting of Kia Knots hair extensions in Manchester or Dublin takes around 5-6 hours including a full colour so be prepared and come comfortable. We will make sure you have the best time and have enough coffee and refreshments to keep you going including alcohol if wanted!

Maintenance refits are required every 3-4 months. Those refits are easy. They take 2-3 hours to put the knots back in place and that is it. No chemicals involved! You need to be prepared to spend a good half day in our Manchester salon but don’t worry, you will be well looked after with complementary drinks, mindful reads, treats and great banter!
