Professionally Applied Hair Extensions

Do you ever see the girls walking down the street with the very apparent hair extensions? You can see where their hair ends and the extensions start. You can see the globs of glue in their hair to hold the extensions in. When you look at their extensions and hair you can see they are ratty and starting to tangle and knot up in their hair. These are the girls that looked for the deal on hair extensions. They are the girls that call every salon to get the cheapest price thinking that it does not matter who applies their extension. These are the girls that hear though the grape vine a lady is doing hair extensions out of her garage. Even worse these are the girls that go to the store buy their own hair and have their friends apply it. Yes here they walk down the street in all their long hair glory with the glue sticking out and everyone pointing and saying wow she has bad extensions.

Ladies there is a reason hair extension companies require certification. The stylist must be licensed by the State Board of Cosmetology. No one else call legally be doing your hair if they are not licensed by the state. To be certified by hair extension companies like Hairlocs, Cinderella hair, and Great lengths must go through extensive training and get approval to actually represent their products. Certified stylists know the difference of the types of hair sold. Synthetic hair cannot be treated like real hair. You cannot use any heating appliances on it or it will melt. These stylist understand what full remie hair means. Full remie hair is hair that is harvest in very strict conditions. They keep the hair in tact with a full cuticle and make sure each strand is running in the same direction so it will not tangle.

Professionally applied hair extensions are not to be confused with extensions from inexperienced technicians, untrained hair dressers, people working out of their garage, or your friends. Certified professionals are trained in proper application of the product. With companies like Hairlocs their professionals will be trained in the preparation of the hair, proper sectioning to go with the flow of hair growth, installation and removal of the hair extensions. Also the professionals are taught how to cut hair extensions so that it blends in with the client’s hair. Part of the curriculum is the proper maintence of the hair extensions. Each type of hair extension has special maintence needs.

You cannot just put in hair extensions and treat it like your own hair. You should go into the salon for routine maintenance so that the hair looks good and your own hair stays in good shape. There are many types of hair extensions that you can choose from. Do your research of the different types and the pros and the cons of each to determine which one will be the best for you.

What goes into the cost of hair extension application.

I am often asked what goes into this Cost of hair extensions. You are not only paying for quality hair that matches the texture, color, and wave patter of your own hair. You are paying for the stylist time and expertise. If you chose to have the hair extensions do not expect to have it done that day. They will have to special order your hair to assure the correct color, texture and density for you. Expect to leave a non-refundable deposit. Most stylist will have you sign a contract and a care sheet.

So many people do not realize when they go to a hair salon for services it IS NOT just the high end products they use on you it is their time, skill, experience and expertise you are getting. It is so insulting to a stylist to ask if you bring your own color, foils, products, hair extensions will it be cheaper. First of all I only endorse and use high end products that do not sell to the public. Anything sold over the counter is inferior to what a stylist can purchase. Also if a client picks out the wrong color and brings it into a stylist they are not going to blame themselves if the color does not turn out correctly they are going to blame the stylist. Then expect the stylist to fix it free. Any stylist that would allow this should be questioned on their ethics and professionalism.
