You must contact us within 180 days of purchase to report the fault or defect.
Aftercare
We can only open a returns ticket for anyone who has followed the aftercare advice in full. This includes the following:
- Wash LUSTRE LOCKS® Hairâ„¢ once or twice a week. This allows your natural oils to keep your hair healthy, as well as reducing the amount of heat used when styling. Always use the LUSTRE LOCKS® Aftercare range.Â
- Wear a silk bonnet or use a silk pillowcase to stop any friction occurring, which can lead to hair breakage.
- It is not advisable to swim in chlorinated water or salt water as this can cause damage.
- Brush your LUSTRE LOCKS® Hair™ before wetting, to ensure its tangle-free before you wash. When brushing, use one hand to secure the base, while you gentle brush, starting from the ends working up to the roots. Always use the LUSTRE LOCKS® wild boar brush.
- Only wash your hair under the shower. The water must flow in the same direction as your hair. To shampoo & condition, work vertically using smoothing motions to form a lather.Â
- Do not colour or perm Avoid using colour pigmented shampoos such as silver shampoo as this can penetrate the hair and quickly cause discoloration.
- Protect hair from UV Rays where possible by covering and avoid contact with sunscreen residue as both can cause discoloration or fading.Â
- You must attend maintenance appointments for re-application. This is so that your technician can keep your hair and scalp in good condition.
- Love your beautiful LUSTRE LOCKS® Hairâ„¢. We searched globally to select the best quality hair and brought it to you with love ♡!Â

Highest quality of raw material
We pay at or above market value for all of our unprocessed human hair from those choosing to donate their hair of their own free will. The hair is braided and then cut from the donor. It is kept in the braid to ensure the hair remains together and is not mixed with other hair.
When the hair arrives at our factory, the hair is checked to ensure that it is still braided, this helps us ensure the quality, and that the cuticles are all still aligned. Quality inspections are carried out on each braid singularly to ensure the virgin hair is clean, strong, virgin, and meets our strict quality specifications so that only the best braids are selected to be used to produce our hair extensions.
Quality Control at every processÂ
Throughout the sourcing, selection, processing and production process, we carry out several quality control measures to ensure that the hair meets our high standards and specifications.
These quality control inspections check every detail of the hair. This includes washing the hair several times with abrasive products, conducting friction tests on the hair, microscopic tests of the hair, as well as many other tests.
Inspection again before shipping
As a final step before leaving our production facilities, our quality control inspectors will randomly check a large proportion of the packaged hair, looking at different application methods, colours, lengths, weight, taking a record of every quality point. Our hair is batch numbered to ensure we can trace it in case there is ever a problem.
Final step quality control upon arrival at out facilities
Once the hair arrives, it is meticulously checked again to ensure that it meets our strict LUSTRE LOCKS ® Quality and Standards, and that all previous quality checks have been thoroughly completed so not to allow any to slip through the net.
Hair sourcing
We are committed to human rights in the supply chain and ensure fair trade for all involved from those selling their hair, to those who source the hair, and then to workers who produce our hair extensions. We pay at an above market value for our unprocessed human hair.
Safe Working Environment
Suppliers must abide by health and safety regulations. Adequate steps must be taken to minimise risk of accidental injury. Suppliers must continue to provide safe working conditions and identify hazards through conducting regular risk assessments.
Child and Forced Labour
Our suppliers must be in full compliance with all relevant child labour laws. There will be no child labour or forced labour used by any of our suppliers.
Environmental Protection
Suppliers must comply with national and local environmental laws and regulations. They must dispose of production waste in accordance with those laws and regulations and have identified and documented their key impacts and implement controls to minimise them.
Business Practices

Payl8r system uses a new technology called Bank Vision which allows us to lend based on affordability and not solely credit rating like standard finance companies. There are no early repayment fees. Any questions regarding the Payl8r system should be directed to support@payl8r.com.
If you are not accepted for Payl8r, we also have our own payment plans available, where you’d pay weekly or monthly and then train once full payment has been made. This is to ensure we can help as many people as possible.
(Q) Why does Payl8r ask for bank details?
(A)Bank Vision is a new piece of banking security technology which enables finance companies like Payl8r to lend based more on a person’s affordability rather than their credit history. This means they can lend quickly and offer credit to those with a poor credit history. This step enables customers to submit their statements electronically to calculate their affordability.
All details entered are secure and encrypted so that they can only be seen by the customer. Payl8r or Artisan Hair Academy cannot see the details you enter and would never be able to find out this information.
This technology is fully licensed and approved by the FCA. We are one of the first in the UK to use this pioneering technology and without it we would not be able to accept as many students onto the course.

YES!! You have your own dedicated tutor on hand to guide you throughout your course. You will complete short online quizzes to check your understanding and submit detailed photographs / videos of your practical techniques so that your tutor can assess your work and give feedback where necessary.
Your tutor will demonstrate practical techniques through video links which you can practice together at your own pace in real time, exactly like a private lesson.
We understand everyone learns differently and has different abilities. Your tutor will ensure you can complete your course with the appropriate help.
Before you are enrolled onto a course you will have an introduction with your tutor via zoom. This helps to identify areas where you may need additional support or reasonable adjustments to be made.
Throughout the course, you will have access to your tutors support via phone, Teams, email and access to the learner’s hub which is a secure forum to exchange learning experiences with other learners also completing a training programme.
Due to the way we prepare you for assessment and help you throughout the process, we guarantee to go above and beyond to help you to pass.
Some learners may find it difficult to remember every detail when attending 1 or 2-day short courses at a venue, which is why it is valuable to be able to access your complete course within the portal at any time. No precious time is wasted on refresher training.
We provide continues professional support after you qualify for assistance and mentoring, along with access to the graduate’s hub, which is a forum where you can exchange knowledge and ideas with other graduates.
The courses are designed with you in mind; therefore, they are self-paced! You can dip in and out at your leisure. However, we provided guidance on expected timeframes:
LUSTRE LOCKS ® Mini-Weave™ is expected to take a maximum of 12 hours to complete.
LUSTRE LOCKS ® Mini-Links™ is expected to take a maximum of 12 hours to complete.
Hair Replacement courses are expected to take a maximum of 30 hours to complete.
Level 2 Hair Professional Apprenticeship is a 24 month programme, however it is sometimes possible to complete sooner depending on the learner.
We are an inclusive training provider and take time to recognise additional learner needs prior to enrolment. We make reasonable adjustments and adaptations where possible, such as options to change the screen colour for dyslexic learners and fonts that are recognised to be the best font to support learning.
We understand that ‘life happens’ and therefore we monitor learner progress and offer help and support throughout. We allow no more than 6 months for Endorsed courses to be completed and 24 months for the Level 2 Regulated Hair Professional Apprenticeships. However, extensions to these timeframes can be requested for exceptional circumstances.
