Neat sectioning is a must when it comes to flawless extensions!
Clean, organised rows following a horseshoe layout are essential for:
✨ Preventing crosshairs
✨ Avoiding damage to your natural hair
✨ Keeping your extensions invisible

At Authentic Locks, we’re all about precision and protecting the health of your hair.
A seamless finish starts with a solid foundation — and we LOVE a neat section!

✨ ‘I can’t believe how natural it looks – you’d never know it’s not my real hair!’ ✨

Our mesh based systems are a game-changer for those experiencing hair loss, offering a seamless, undetectable solution that blends perfectly with your natural hair. As you can see they done have to be integrated. This one is fitted as a stick down around the perimeter for this client.
Lightweight, breathable, and non-damaging, it restores confidence and transforms your look effortlessly. 💕

✨ Hair Health Awareness! ✨

Ladies, if you’re taking Mounjaro, please do your research—especially if you already have fine or thinning hair! 🚨💇‍♀️ Many people don’t realise that rapid weight loss from Mounjaro can lead to hair shedding, brittle regrowth, and overall hair weakness.

A well-respected trichologist examined my client’s hair and confirmed that her brittle regrowth and recent hair loss were 100% caused by malnutrition from losing weight too quickly. 😞💔 While Mounjaro itself isn’t a direct cause of hair loss, the nutrient deficiencies and stress on the body from rapid weight loss can have serious effects on hair health.

If you’re on or considering Mounjaro, please ensure you’re getting proper medical advice on how to lose weight safely and maintain proper nutrition to keep your hair healthy! ❤️✨

✨ Swipe to see the transformation! ➡️ ✨

This beauty came in for a full head of extensions to add both length & volume, and the results speak for themselves! 😍💁‍♀️

One thing we see all the time? Hair that isn’t quite curly or straight—it’s somewhere in between! If your natural hair has a wave or a little frizz, we can source naturally wavy hair to ensure the perfect seamless blend. 🌊✨

No harsh styling needed—just effortlessly blended, gorgeous locks that move naturally with your own hair. 💕

Keeping my lovely client’s mesh integration system secure and looking flawless! 💁‍♀️💖
Tightenings are a quick and easy maintenance appointment, the appointment takes around 1-1.5 hours and we keep everything in place without the need to remove the system. 🙌

🔄 Realignment is a deeper refresh, where we fully remove the system, wash the scalp, and apply treatments if needed. This is only necessary every 4-5 months to keep your scalp and hair in the best condition! 🧖‍♀️✨

Most clients book their tightenings every 6-12 weeks, depending on the size of their system and the number of links anchoring it to their natural hair. Everyone is different, so we always tailor appointments to suit you! 💕

If you have any questions about any of our services please hesitate to drop us a message 📩✨

Our Story

Welcome to Authentic Locks. As Yorkshire's most prestige hair extension and hair replacement centre, we are dedicated to creating and restoring fabulous hair. We have always had a great passion for hair and at Authentic Locks we take great pride in making people feel better about themselves by providing them with not only new improved hair, but a great level of customer service alongside this. Authentic Locks owner and founder Lisa Dowdle started her career many years ago as a hair extensionist and quickly realised hair was something she really had a passion for. Lisa wanted to extend her knowledge and grow her company to the best level it could be so did extensive training in wig making, hair replacement methods, hair preparation, and hairdressing. Lisa has also researched hair quality all over the world and now sources her own Russian hair range which many hairdressers and extensionists buy from our Authentic Locks supply company. Lisa’s reputation for knowledge and hair quality is second to none. Our experience and expertise enables us to make all our Russian hair creations by hand to suit the needs of each individual client. Our bespoke hair blending methods mean you can achieve subtle or bold highlights with your hair extensions, wefts, or wigs so they can match your requirements perfectly. This can mean mixing up to 4 colours together to made the perfect blend with optimum results! Particularly with extensions, we have seen many cases where blending has not been carried out correctly meaning you can see the persons natural hair ends which makes the extensions look very unnatural. Our thorough consultation service enables us to get a perfect match for your colour and discuss your specific needs and requirements. At Authentic Locks we pride ourselves on quality and customer service and we want each and every client to have a fantastic experience and fantastic hair!
