The exact extension method and amount of hair used were not recorded on this page, so we do not infer them. ### Case study 2: Blonde balayage — multi-tone colour match **Starting point:** blonde hair requiring a multi-tone match rather than a single flat shade. **Goal:** add length and volume while preserving the balayage look. **Result:** a blended blonde balayage transformation, colour-matched and fitted at Original Diva’s Hunters Hill salon. The published image demonstrates the colour blend; exact pack count and method are not stated. ### Case study 3: Brunette tape extensions — flat attachment and natural blend **Method shown:** tape extensions. **Goal:** create additional length and density while keeping the attachment visually discreet. **Result:** a brunette transformation with the tape attachment sitting flat and the extension hair blended into the natural hair. Current Original Diva salon tape pricing is $160 per 25g pack for either 20-inch or 22-inch hair, including hair, installation, cut and style; the exact quantity used for this photographed client is not published. ### Case study 4: Clip-in transformation — removable length for occasional wear **Method shown:** clip-in extensions. **Goal:** create visible extra length without a permanent fitting. **Result:** an immediate short-to-long change using removable clip-ins. For current shopping options, Original Diva offers 20-inch Box Sets in 120g / 5 pieces, 150g / 6 pieces and 180g / 8 pieces, in every listed colour. The exact weight and piece count used in this photograph are not documented here; ask Nicole to help choose a set for your starting hair and desired result. _These examples are provided as real transformation evidence. Results vary by starting hair, colour match, method, extension weight and maintenance. Where an exact method or quantity is not documented for a photographed client, Original Diva does not guess it._ ## What goes into each transformation Every result starts with a [free colour match](https://originaldiva.com.au/wp-content/uploads/wp-mfa-exports/page/colour-matching-service.md) — upload a clear photo in natural light and Nicole matches your shade, length and density before you buy.
