We grow our hair for years and as soon as it reaches peak length, we fancy chopping it into a long-bob again. Long, luscious hair looks so sleek but a choppy bob just seems so trendy - we just can't decide. Well, thanks to hair extensions (tapes, especially) we can now make impulse decisions like these without having to wait a lifetime for our hair to grow back.

If you look at pictures of Stella Maxwell and Meghan Markle wishing you had long and bouncy waves just like theirs, now you can. In fact, you can pop to the hairdressers on your lunch break and walk out with locks down to your waist if you so desire.

The best hair extensions have come a long way in the past five years. Today, they are much more accessible and affordable, with a plethora of varieties on the market to choose from. Think: clip-ins, bonds and tapes to wigs, nanorings and weaves. The list goes on. Sure, you can fit your own hair extensions from the comfort of your own home (we've got a complete guide to the best hair extensions to buy right here), but if you'd rather take the pressure off, it's likely you're after hair extension hotspots in the capital.

If you've made an impulse decision and want new longer hair on your lunch break or while you’re shopping - then you’ve got to head to Beauty Club London. They offer a speedy in-and-out experience - you can have a full head of extensions fitted in around 45 minutes. Their team of London's best colourists and hair extension specialists will work together to create a custom look that blends naturally with your own hair. Louise Bailey and Moe Harb are a dream-team.

Hershesons provide a great experience, no matter what treatment you’re getting. The team are very attentive to all your needs, so you’ll be well taken care of. Again, the colourists and the extensionists (we recommend Jordan) worked together to create the perfect style to match my colouring. They use Great Lengths hair extensions, specifically GL tapes, which are made from 100% human hair, medical grade, hypo-allergenic and non-toxic tape.

The Richard Ward Hair salon in Chelsea (near the Saatchi Gallery) offers a luxury experience. You can tailor-make your service to suit your budget here, as all the prices of their hair extensions are tiered according to your experience. They offer real hair extensions, Great Length hair extensions and Hair Rehab extensions, so you can choose which brand serves you best.

Blogger favourite salon Vixen & Blush welcome over 6,000 hair extension clients a year. They specialise in hair extensions, so if you have a question they will always have the answer. They use only the best quality hair and pass on the wholesale cost of hair to the client, making it more affordable for long-term use.

The hair extension specialists at Harrods are without a doubt the most professional team you'll come across. They team together with colourists to create a bespoke style using Hair Club Extentions. The 100% human hair extensions come in a huge variety of colours, lengths and styles. You can even pop into the salon and see them on display if you’re still thinking about it. Plus, you can reuse the hair multiple times with very little damage to the quality.
