hair extensions

[Robia]

Hello,

Does anyone know the name of any black hair stylists in London that provide Cinderella hair extensions?

HI GIRLS,

here is my 10 cents worth,

I trained in hair extensions and then worked at Lucinda Ellery The Consultancy, Europe's largest hair extensions studio.

There is sooo much to take into account when thinking of having extenisions.

The reason your having extensions? The length? The volume of extensions you have in. The texture of the extensions? Is it cost effective for you>?


At the end of the day we all know of hair extension disasters, but people are always suprised when they dont realise someone is wearing extensions.

You dont want to have extensions if it will ruin your own hair.

I would never do a set of extensions on hair that looks like it is vulnerable to breakage and not looked after properly. I have turned prospective clients away due to this and will continue to.

Application of the extensions is an important factor the weight ratio for your hair and each bond.

Thde removal of extensions more so important than the application !!!!Especially when acetone is envolved as it makes the adhesives turn sticky causing breakage to your hair.

It took me 9 months to find a product that I believe removes extensions causing no damage to the hair.

heres some things to keep in mind when choosing the hair!!!


If its such great quality hair why is it coated in silicone? the answer to give the illusion that the hair is a better quality hair than it really is!

oh and watch for the word Euro!! when a company uses the term "euro hair" this does not mean its european hair, its a loopwhole that fools you in to thinking its European hair.

Remy hair, I love this one, Basically REMY is an old wigmaking term meaning that the hair is double drawn and cuticle correct. it means nothing more then that. I know this from working with an oldschool wigmaker.

When people say Remy hair is the best, what makes it better then any other hair?

The best hair is one that is cuticle correct and matches your hairs natural texture. Thats the best hair for you, when sourcing hair for your extensions.

every batch of hair comes from a different source.


I hope this has been some help.

Was that just another plugging for your advertisement to your website.

It makes me wonder why people come on here an plug there services for advertising.

Correction to you
Remy does not mean that the hair is double drawn at all. Remy means the hair still has the cuticle intact so get your facts straigh before you start sprouting off with your verbal diahorrea.

Hi Guest

no its not another plug for my website.

As for getting my facts straight, spending 3 months doing work experiance in one of the worlds most renowned wigmakers, the term Remy means exactly what I said it did. The word Remy has been used by wigmakers and hair merchants for generations, its only the last 30 years where the hair extensions market has evolved and all different companies use different terminology.

and as for advertisment, I already advertise on the net thanks, and 98 percent of my custome is word of mouth.

My reason for posting is the fact that i have non industry people calling me up asking me about hair, and extensions, believe just what they are told.

why not

[Guest]

Your just a sad freak who likes to basically come in with all your terminology, I couldnt give a rats F****** asshole if its used in the wig making industry.

Remy does not mean double drawn you F*** wit,

Now F*** off back to the hole you came from and get a life.

I have had both great lengths and racoon extensions and can say without shadow of a doubt that great lengths are/were by far the best and far superior.

The racoon hair was too high maintenance, too heavy and very unrealistic .... I couldnt even run my hands through it. The bonds were large and uncomfy, very jaggy and to me, very noticeable, not good considering I had them in for my wedding !!!!!!!!!!!

The great lengths had no downside, from start to finish (3months) they were a dream, looked amazing, felt amazing and were just ace. They required little maintenance and basically were just wash n go, minimal styling etc, it was like having my natural hair, plus the bonds were sooooooo small !!!!!!!!!!

The racoon hair cost me £300 for a full head, the great lengths cost me £700 for a full head but was definately well worth it. Both those costs included cuts, colours, supplies etc.

Gimme great lengths any day !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I had Racoon hair extensions fitted 5 weeks ago in a local salon & I am so disappointed with them.

I've already been back twice, the first time she had put a bad batch in at the back & it had totally matted my hair together. This was taken out & replaced.

The second time it was falling out in handfuls & shedding like mad, she put me 15 free one's back in.

It seems the glue bonds have turned white, I have been told that the oil from my own hair is getting inside the bonds, making them weak, hence the hair drops out.

Has anyone else experienced anything similiar ??? These cost me £300.00.

Thanks

Jen

Hi i am looking for Racoon hair extentions or someone that will fit them!!! I have rang the nearest salon to me that fit the extentions but they have warned me that they are very pricy.Does anyone know of any deals in the Widnes/Runcorn area...And of any Pro's or Con's...x

Hi

I have had my Great Lengths extensions in for 5 months and they still look fantastic. Iv'e tried other human hair extensions before, but these are fabulous. Will only use Great Lengths from now on xx

[iamaunicorn]

i think in general hair extensions are completely worth the money if you are able to keep up with the maintenance of them, racoon hair extensions are fantastic BUT completely over priced!! can someone please share why they cost so much?? I was quoted at my nearest hairdresser for the shortest length - a full head £700!! im now wondering how much the long length costs.
Also another question...Do you guys literally get your extensions out and then put straight back in again? My hair's wrecked now... i've had them in 4 times now - a break in between the 2nd time i got them in.
BEWARE people with thin/fine hair - NOT a good idea to get extensions!! you'll most likely regret it...APPLY PLENTY HAIR RECONSTRUCTORS/TREATMENTS your hair will eventually grow!!
