Hi, i'm new on this, I found it a while back when I was researching extensions after having two disastrous sets (one Great Lengths, one Racoon) both expensive and done by top High Street London salons. They damaged my already fragile hair so badly that I had to wait 8 months for the damage to grow out enough to be able to do anything with my hair.
Then I had Monofibre put in at Antenna. After all the problems before I wanted the best, so I had Julien Guyonnet the Creative Director do them, and I have never seen a hairdresser so skilled in all my life. He had two of his girls spend 30 minutes just blending the colours, then he took less than 2 hours to do a complete transformation, and I mean complete, I look totally different and I am amazed at how good they look and feel.
Plus, even having the top stylist put them in, cut them and give me a complete care pack of goodies, they cost over £100 less than when I had a junior stylist with very limited experience put in the Great Lengths extensions at a High Street salon in suburban London.
I'm not a PR for Antenna, I work in the international property industry and I have to travel a lot, with Monofibre extensions I have never had a bad hair day while travelling as they are very easy to maintain, and I have never been to a meeting feeling like an old dog because of my own awful hair (which made me look and feel like a frumpy middle-aged woman).
Each to their own, but for me, I will never go to any other salon than Antenna; they really are the experts and Julien is incredible. And the extensions themselves don't itch at all, which was a big problem for me with the glue-in human hair, as the top of the bond is a fold of soft Monofibre so they are really comfortable. My advice would be to try a few different methods and see which one suits you best, but definitely give Monofibre a try, you might find it really works for you.
