Welcome renowned industry leader Pete Thomsen to the Great Lengths family. The expert hairdresser has joined the luxury hair extension brand as an Ambassador, bringing 25 years of experience in luxe hair salon services. Pete is the owner of Chelsea Haircutters and has an A-list clientele that perfectly suits the Great Lengths market.
In his role, Pete will be the face of Essenza Tape Extensions as the product’s official ambassador, advocating for and educating around this dynamic new innovation that speeds up the application process without ever compromising on quality, as the brand have complete control over the entire manufacturing process.

“I’m excited to join the Great Lengths family,” Pete said. “Essenza Tape Extensions are an absolute game-changer. They offer incredible quality, speed, and efficiency, making them perfect for both professionals and clients alike. I’m excited to share this innovative product with the Australian market and bring a new level of luxury and performance to salons.”
The extensions allow for fast application and removal, so you can offer a profitable, express service that doesn’t take up time in the chair. They also provide the opportunity for instant retaping, thanks to the clean removal of the Essenza tapes, which makes it easy to replace the adhesive and reapply without needing to shampoo the client’s hair between removals and reapplications.
The Essenza Tape Extensions also include zero bleach, where colour molecules are gently lifted from dark hair without disturbing the cuticle, preserving its natural integrity and resulting in shiny, elastic, long-lasting hair. The technology also eliminates shorter, fragmented hairs and is naturally thick from root to ends, with gently tapered tips that require no cutting, for a full, voluminous final look from root to tip.
Pete will showcase these quality, convenient extensions, with his trademark approach to luxury hair and craftmanship, which ideally aligns with Great Lengths.
Pete will embark on an education tour showcasing this technology in exclusive Look & Learn evenings, starting in Sydney on May 4 and Perth on June 15. Featuring special guests including Kirby Lago from Pelo by Lago and Faith Williams from Blondee Salon in Sydney and Jaimme Lee Hallgath from Salon Jaimmeee in Perth, Pete will show off his extension skills from flawless applications to seamless blending and styling.


Learn skills across in-depth consultations, complex colour matching, how to build a long lasting clientele and how to create clients and earn more money. All the presenters will explain their insider tips and success stories, leaving you confident in these vital skills.
