Essenza Tape Extensions: Everything You Need to Know About Application and Removal
For over 30 years, Great Lengths has set the gold standard for premium hair extensions. Now, Essenza Tape Extensions are redefining what’s possible with tape-in hair — combining superior quality, innovative adhesive technology, and effortless maintenance in one game-changing system.
Whether you’re a stylist considering Essenza for your salon or a client wanting to understand what makes these tapes different, here’s everything you need to know.
What Makes Essenza Tapes Different?
Essenza isn’t just another tape extension. It’s been engineered from the ground up for professionals who demand efficiency and excellence:
17% More Hair Per Tape — Enjoy unmatched volume and fullness. Double-drawn for consistent thickness, Essenza delivers density from root to tip that you can see and feel.
30% Longer Length — Unlike standard tapes, Essenza provides longer extensions without shorter, fragmented pieces, ensuring a seamless, natural look throughout.
Natural Ends — Thick from root to tip yet gently tapered, Essenza Tapes require no cutting and blend effortlessly for a flawless finish that looks like your own hair.
Zero Bleach Processing — Colour molecules are gently lifted from dark hair without disturbing the cuticle, preserving its natural integrity. The result? Shiny, elastic, long-lasting hair that maintains its quality wash after wash.
100% Ethically Sourced — Every strand comes from willing donors in Indian temples, ensuring responsible practices. The virgin-quality hair remains bleach-free, preserving exceptional softness, shine, and durability.
The Application Process
One of Essenza’s biggest advantages for stylists is speed. Each strand takes approximately one minute to apply, making it possible to offer a premium extension service in a fraction of the time traditional methods require.
The tape application process involves sandwiching a thin section of natural hair between two adhesive tabs, creating a secure, flat-lying bond that’s virtually undetectable. The result is natural-looking volume and length that moves freely and sits comfortably.
Effortless Removal: How Essenza Tapes Come Out
When it’s time for removal, Essenza truly shines. Unlike other tape systems that leave sticky residue and require extensive cleanup, Essenza’s advanced adhesive technology ensures a clean, residue-free removal every time.
Here’s what the professional removal process looks like:
Step 1: Adhesive Remover Application — Your stylist applies a professional adhesive remover directly to the tapes, letting it sit briefly to dissolve the bond. This careful process allows the tapes to slide off easily, avoiding any tugging on your natural hair.
Step 2: Section-by-Section Removal — Working in small sections, your stylist carefully peels away each tape to prevent stress on your hair. This methodical approach maintains control and protects your natural hair from damage.
Step 3: Cleansing and Conditioning — After removal, a cleansing treatment removes any lingering adhesive residue, followed by conditioning to hydrate and restore strength and shine to your natural hair.
Instant Retape: The Essenza Advantage
Here’s where Essenza really sets itself apart from competitors: with clean removal and zero sticky residue, reapplication is effortless. Simply remove the old adhesive, apply fresh tabs, and reapply — no shampooing required between removal and reapplication. This saves significant chair time and means clients can have their extensions maintained in a single, efficient appointment.
