With soo many hair extensions disasters out there, stories of women loosing patches of hair, miss matched colours and general back street technicians on the market we felt it essential to track down the best in the business and set the record straight when it comes to hair extensions. Celebrities love them, house wives adore them and young trendy girls couldn't be without them but with so much choice on the market, different bonding techniques, different brands and styles of hair most women don't know where to start when it comes to having a good, natural set of extensions fitted. 

Here is Hollywood lovely 'Mischa Barton' with a full head of hair extensions fitted courtesy of Inanch London.

As always I have been a lover of the classic hair extension for over a decade, yikes showing my ages and as a youngby by mistake and misguided I have used every brand, style, and technician under the sun and believe me it can be seriously hard to pick the right person and place to fit them especially when there's so much choice on the market. One of my personal all time favourite brands of real Remy Hair is Great Lengths. 

With over 12 years experience in the specialist field of hair extensions, Award winning Hair Extensions Expert and Great Lengths UK Hair Extensionist of the Year, Inanch Emir, has built a global reputation for delivering amazing results with 100% human hair extension applications, giving clients and celebrities the hair they’ve always dreamed of having! Acclaimed by Hairdressers Journal International as a leading example of a “hair extensions expert” and as “one of the UK’s leading hair extensionists”; hailed as "our hair extensions fairy" by Vogue magazine's beauty editors and as a "hair extensions makeover magician" by Creative Head magazine, Inanch is continuously sought after from around the world by celebrities, beauty editors and clients for her superior hair extensions application techniques and precision hair styling.

Her list of celebrity clients who have had hair extensions include Hollywood TV Actress Mischa Barton, supermodel Eva Herzigova, Reality TV Stars Amy Childs, Michelle Heaton and Dani Behr, former Miss Great Britain and Glamour Model Danielle Lloyd, Model & TV Presenter Naomi Millbank-Smith, Glamour Model Nicola McLean, Socialite Peaches Geldof and Rock Singer/Musician Courtney Love.

“In the grand surroundings of Marylebone and Fitzrovia, Inanch hair salon offers luxurious styling at affordable prices. From hair extensions and bridal hair to make-up services and hair treatments, there's more to this boutique-style salon than meets the eye... You might even find yourself sitting next to Katie Holmes or Eva Longoria-Parker”. Fabric Magazine, August 2009

Inanch London brings a new meaning to tranquility and intimacy. Situated in Fitzrovia, Regent's Park (near The Portland Hospital where most celebrity mothers are seen!), this prestigious salon focuses on quality over quantity and makes way for a fantastic personalised service.

Designed to cater for clients with that special "celebrity-style treatment", Inanch accommodates just five styling positions and provides ample space, privacy and comfort. The moment you enter the salon, you are greeted with a warm welcome and served with a complimentary beverage from the salon's exclusive bar.

So how lucky did Jules and I feel to be invited in for a complete transformation for Harley Street Beauty courtesy of the lovely Inanch and her team? Don't worry ladies if you are looking for Celebrity style extensions the secret is now out 'Inanch London' is the Great Lengths Award winning salon that caters for all the celebs but not only are they fabulous at what they do they are so helpful in explaining the different types of hair, bonds, ways to maintain your gorgeous locks and how to avoid all the dangerous stories that we hear with bad extensions. Inanch has personally explained everything you will ever need to know about hair extensions, I'm not going to say too much in the blog as you'll need to watch the show for yourself where you will be able to see for yourself the difference quality extensions and expertise can really make.

Heres a sneal peak at how incredible both mine and Jules locks were transformed by the Inanch London team.

Who better to give her opinions and trial and test a few treatments on the show than a glamorous former footballers wife? Over the last few months we have worked considerably with Suzi Walker in the making of the Series.

The lovely Model and Presenter has been featured in different areas of the show and tested a few interesting cosmetic treatments for Harley Street Beauty. Not one to mince her words or deny any nips or tucks she’s had or would have. It’s very refreshing to have worked with someone happy to be open about their looks and why they like to make the most of what they’ve got rather than make your average stay at home mum feel inadequate and think how does she look so perfect in her late 30’s with several kids?

Instead Suzi opens up to Harley Street Beauty about looking good and  is therefor much more relatable to than the average Celeb because she‘s honest, which seems a rarity nowadays. Not only is she honest about beauty and cosmetic surgery but she also gives us her advice from someone that has experienced cosmetic dentistry and surgery not to rush in and to make sure you do your research and really think before you take that all important leap to transforming the way you look.

Its not all cosmetics and beauty in the life of a former WAG though poor Suzi has had a lot to deal with over the years from relationships to health.

Suzi Walker was formerly married to Bolton and International goalkeeper Ian Walker and she was synonymous with the phrase "Footballers Wives". Ironically, and sadly, it has been widely reported in the press that Suzi's thirteen year marriage to Ian had unfortunately run into some difficulty and is now over.  Suzi is now with Simon Jordon (Chairman of Crystal Palace FC). 

Suzi is the type of girl that won't let her situation get her down though. She feels she has been in the wars before. After the birth of her daughter Sophie, some eight years ago, she contracted a near fatal illness known as Post Natal Eclampsia, from which she miracuously made a nearly full recovery.  She also had an extremely dangerous time when she gave birth to her second daughter with whom she has had with Simon.

Unfortunately the illness left Suzi as an on-going sufferer of ME and although, through her doctor, for whom she has only praise, she is managing to beat it 99% of the time. 

Suzi is happy to talk about either of these unfortunate illnesses and will do all she can to promote the cause for other sufferers. At the same time she takes pride in her appearance and is happy to give her opinion and advice from someone that knows about the pro’s and con’s of cosmetic. Stay tuned to hear more from the lovely Suzi Walker.

Thanks Suzi for all your involvement we look forward to working with you on other projects in the future and hopefully Harley Street Beauty Series 2.

It’s been a busy week for us here at Blondie Media, first filming with X factor Essex duo at the Sugarhut on Monday then filming yesterday with MTV Diva and Britain's Got Talent's eccentric hopeful Adam Miller. Here he is dressed in full-on Britney clobber hoping to stand out from the crowd. 

We headed over to dental clinic ' The Harley Street Smile Clinic' favoured by many celebrities (to gain the perfect smile) to document Adam’s dental transformation for Harley Street Beauty Series 1. Loads of TOWIE stars have had veneers at the clinic as it seems the new Dental Clinic to the stars. The lovely Lauren Pope and Chloe Simms were the first to set the TOWIE trend of Harley Street Veneers.

We filmed Adam a few weeks back when he was having his temporary set and today was his final transformation. Adam is best known from the Janice Dickinson Model Agency and dressing up as Britney Spears on Britain's got Talent 2010, however he was also the original Diva on MTV super sweet world-class.  Adam has a reputation in the UK press for being a unique and enigmatic personality. He's been featured on: This morning, Day Break, Lorraine, Radio One and Britain's Got More Talent to name but a few. Good luck to him!

The trailer link for Super Sweet can be seen below and a few others:

Although he seems wacky and publicity hungry he believes that not everyone has surgery for cosmetic reasons. He thinks it should be less controversial to talk about things you may have had done as there may be deep rooted psychologicial issues that lead people to change the way they look and it has an impact on the way they inevitably feel. 

Along with the ethos of the Harley Street Beauty team (educating people to the best professionals in the business) he is also willing to try and test everything as he likes results.

Adam could be classed as the male Jordan as he is obsessed with Katie Price, cosmetic surgery and fixing everything he's not happy with. He is actually really interested though in the lengths men and women will go to, to keep their looks and believe that the knock-on effect of surgery is it will improve people's confidence careers and marriages etc.

It was great fun filming with you Adam and we wish you luck in your 2012 projects. Thanks also to Harley Street Smile Clinic.
