How to Place Your Custom Hair Extension Order
Tell us how you want your hair extensions to look: the colour technique, root-to-end shades, extension method, length and weight. SACH & VOGUE HAIR® reviews these details with you before confirming your custom order.

1. Choose the colour technique
Solid colour
One colour throughout. Specify the colour code.
Rooted colour
Specify the root, length and end colours separately, including the root-shadow length in centimetres.
Ombre
A root-to-end colour transition. Specify the root, mid-length and end codes, and where the transition should begin.
Balayage
A softer colour placement. Specify the base, lighter shades and how they should be distributed.
Highlights
More defined lighter strands within the base colour. Specify the base and highlight codes, and whether the strands should be fine or more pronounced.
Ombre + highlights
A root-to-end transition with additional lighter strands. Specify the transition codes and highlight colour separately.
Custom mix
A combination of colours or techniques. Describe which colours should appear in each section of the hair.
2. Specify colour codes and placement
Use colour-ring codes where possible rather than describing the order only as “blonde” or “balayage”. Define the root, mid-lengths and ends separately. If you want a blend of shades, include your preferred ratio; if you are unsure, discuss it with our team.
- Root colour and root-shadow length
- Mid-length and end colours
- Where you want the transition to begin
- Whether lighter strands should be fine, defined or more prominent
- Any preferred colour-blend ratio
The examples below come from the supplied visual guide. They show how to describe an order and are not colour recommendations for your own hair.

3. Confirm the product, length and quantity
- Extension system: specify the product, such as Tape-In, keratin tips, Genius Weft, Machine Weft or Clip-In.
- Length: specify centimetres or inches.
- Quantity: state the total weight and, where relevant, the number of packs, pieces or strands.
- Hair finish: tell us whether you want straight, wavy or curly hair.
- Technical details: include tape width, keratin-tip type or a specific piece layout where needed.
- Delivery: provide the country and city, and any date you need the order by.
List each product or colour separately if your order has several items. For salon, distributor or private label orders, include your business name and any packaging request. If you do not know the weight needed, say so rather than choosing an amount at random.
4. Share a reference image
A reference image is optional. If you send photos, use natural daylight without filters or flash, and show the roots, mid-lengths and ends. Explain which colour or effect you want us to use as the reference.
Lighting, cameras and phone screens can change how a colour appears. A photograph alone cannot establish an exact colour match. Discuss a physical colour ring or sample with our team for a more controlled review.
5. Check the order details
- We review the colour, placement, method, length and weight together.
- Price, production time, payment and delivery details are confirmed for your specific request.
- Check that each item is described correctly in the order and proforma invoice.
- If you are referring to a previous order, include its reference and the details you want to keep.
Sending a WhatsApp message or form enquiry does not mean the order has been confirmed. The order details must first be agreed with our team.

Frequently asked questions
Can I enquire without knowing the colour code?
Yes. Describe the look you want and discuss how to proceed using a colour ring or sample with our team.
How should I describe balayage versus highlights?
Specify balayage for a softer transition, or highlights for more defined lighter strands within the base colour. Include the colour codes and placement as well.
Will the colour look exactly like my reference photo?
A photo helps communicate the look you want. Differences in lighting and screens mean it cannot guarantee an exact match on its own.
When will price and production time be confirmed?
Our team reviews the product, colour work, length and quantity before sharing the quotation and production plan.
