Victoria Lynch is the founder of Additional Lengths, the exclusive home of Remi Cachet, one of the UK’s leading luxury hair extension brands. A pioneer in the hair industry, Victoria turned personal adversity into entrepreneurial success, building a multi-million-pound business that has transformed the way consumers access professional-quality hair extensions at home. After a serious car accident left her with a spinal injury, Victoria was forced to leave her factory job and reevaluate her future. With just £5,000 from her accident payout and a small loan from the King’s Trust (then Prince’s Trust), she launched Additional Lengths in 2003 from her home in Stockton-on-Tees, identifying an underserved market for high-quality, ethically sourced human hair extensions at an accessible price point.
