Fab Review From Past Runners

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

We had a fab experience with Angela today at the marathon expo.”
They did fabulous braids in my three little girls’ hair and were so nice and fun to be around. A fabulous experience — would totally recommend!

“It was a lifesaver on the day — completely out of my face and I didn’t have to worry about it.”
When collecting my race number for the Dublin Marathon at the Expo, I came across Fab Xtensions and had a lovely chat with Angela. She pointed out the benefits of having hair braided when you have unruly hair like mine 😆. Everyone was commenting on how well it looked! It stayed in perfect condition for 42km.
Would definitely recommend Angela.
