A specialist approach

Small bonds. A personal fit.

Also known as K-tips or fusion extensions, custom keratin bonds offer a tailored approach to length and volume. Your consultation starts with your natural hair, colour, texture and goals.

THE HAIR BEHIND THE WORK

MAKHNENKO HAIR

The hair itself matters just as much as the technique.

MAKHNENKO HAIR is my own hair line, developed around the work I do in the studio. I select hair for its quality, texture, density and natural movement, with options for everything from fine and straight hair to waves, curls and Afro textures.

The right hair is then matched to the client and prepared specifically for their custom K-tip installation.

Meet your specialist

Natalia Makhnenko

I've specialized in keratin bond extensions since 2020, and what I love most about this work is that no two heads of hair are the same. Fine or fragile hair, curls, Afro textures, short hair or thick hair — I genuinely love the challenge of creating something completely individual.

My work is very hands-on. I customize the colour, texture, size and placement of the bonds for each client rather than following one standard formula. The goal is always the same: comfortable extensions that move naturally, blend beautifully and feel like they belong to you.

Client experiences

What clients say.

I’ve now had four extension installations with Natalia, and my hair has grown so long while wearing the extensions and I’ve experienced absolutely no damage.

The keratin bonds are so small, you can’t even tell they are there! Her colour matching and blending was a 10/10!

She cares so much about her work and the way her clients feel. She has taken such good care of me, sourcing hair that matched my texture, made the smallest little bonds, even matching the keratin to my red hair.
