I’ve explored nearly every method of hair extension imaginable, from tape-ins to bonding and wefts. I even decided to splurge on a session at a celebrity salon in Los Angeles, but surprisingly, the best extensions I’ve experienced didn’t come from Hollywood. Instead, they originated from a quaint salon tucked away in Munich, called Eliza Munich. The extensions I’m currently wearing are micro-bonds, and the beauty of them is that they’re virtually invisible, which has transformed my hair game entirely.
The founder of the salon, Eliza Ullrich, came highly recommended by several hairdressers, including a colleague who wore extensions herself, albeit discreetly. This insider tip opened my eyes to a world of high-quality extensions that I previously thought only existed in upscale salons. Ullrich specializes in extensions crafted from Slavic and Eastern European hair, a unique approach that sets her apart from many others who predominantly use Asian hair. This distinction is important because the blonde extensions from Ullrich’s collection don’t undergo excessive bleaching, making them a healthier and more resilient option.
When I walked into Eliza Munich, I was immediately captivated by the array of hair bundles on display—each showcasing different lengths, colors, and textures. It was a feast for the eyes, and it became clear that Ullrich pays close attention to the diverse needs of her clients. If a particular shade doesn’t meet someone’s expectations, Ullrich can easily order it in or mix it to create a custom match. This kind of personalization ensures that each client leaves the salon feeling satisfied and confident.
As I sat down for the fitting, I expressed my desire to go longer this time, aiming for around 60cm, which would fall just below my ribs. Ullrich picked two bundles that perfectly matched the honey-blonde gradient of my natural hair. The transition from dark roots to lighter tips mimicked my own hair beautifully, which is essential for that “natural” look I strive for. Despite the seemingly large number of 100 strands she suggested, their smaller size means they blend seamlessly, making them much less noticeable than traditional extensions.
Additionally, one of the appealing aspects of these micro-bonded extensions is their versatility. If you prefer doing your hair at home, you can purchase the extensions directly from Ullrich’s online store and have them fitted at your regular salon. This option allows more people to access high-quality extensions without the requirement to visit the salon in Munich, making it convenient for those who may not be nearby.
In a world where the pursuit of perfect hair can often feel like a daunting task, Eliza Munich has changed the game. By offering personalized, high-quality extensions that cater to a variety of hair types and textures, Ullrich has created an experience that goes beyond mere aesthetics. For anyone looking to transform their hair with confidence and style, the micro-bonds from Eliza Munich might just be the best-kept secret they’ve been searching for.
