About Jai
Hi my name is Jai I’m the owner and founder of Real Couture hair salon and training academy , I’ve been doing hair for over 20 years. I am qualified in level 2 and 3 hairdressing. I am one of the first in Cheshire to receive the master hair extensionist award from Beauty Works, a company that supplies luxury human hair extensions to salons and individuals. In 2018 I opened my own aftercare hair products line for all hair types including and hair extensions and wigs and was awarded the hair extension product of the year in 2023. I opened my own salon Real Couture in early 2013 and now have my own hairline.
I started doing hair extensions on myself at the age of 16. I now have over 20 years of experience. I felt incredibly blessed to have found a career that resonates with me so perfectly. As a hair artist, I believe in honesty, patience, creativity and hard work all functioning together to produce a beautiful end result for my clients. I use hair as my canvas to bring out a distinctive and fresh approach to draw out each client’s unique beauty. Hair to me is art and I totally enjoy the process of transforming my clients from start to finish. I am so taken by the power of a hair transformation and seeing my clients’ confidence grow after achieving their dream hair that I wanted to help as many people as I could. I offer over 8 different installation methods, I understand that not every person has the same hair, and what might be suitable for one client might not be suitable for the following client, for this reason I offer an extensive range of extensions from micro rings, Tapes, micro links,Keratin bonds, LA Weave, braidless weave and nano rings as well as clip ins and wigs.
I truly believe that “your hair is your crown” because it can truly reflect who you are and how you feel. In 2021 I also started to teach around the UK allowing me to share my passion and enthusiasm for hair art.

About Muna
Hi my name is Muna I am 23 years old, I started helping out at Real Couture when I was 16 years old, as soon as I finnished school I went to South Cheshire College to study traveling and tourism. I found my passion for business and beauty, after studying tourism and traveling I went back to college to study Business and marketing.
Whilst helping out at the salon I saw people with afro hair and thinning/hairloss come in to feel inspired with what we could do to help them. I went on a few training courses, and that was when Panache HBUK was created. I now do wig installations, eyelashes and makeup at Real Couture hair salon. I can help you find the perfect wig, offering colour and texture matching. You can have long term installation or daily use wigs, we offer one to one consultations as well as cut to any style.
