There are so many names for and types of hair extensions today that it is no wonder people are
confused and disappointed when they don't receive the luxurious hair they want - or worse, end up
with damaged hair and/or less hair than they started with.

While there are many "marketing" names and brands for types of extensions, they all fall
somewhere in the following categories. Individual bonding, Individual Links, Braiding, Wefted hair
with some type of "weave" or clips, skin wefts that are applied with adhesive and hair attached to
some type of base that can be clipped in.

THINGS TO LOOK FOR IN A STYLIST WHEN CONSIDERING HAIR EXTENSIONS

ARE HAIR EXTENSIONS THEIR SPECIALTY? HOW LONG HAVE THEY BEEN PROVIDING
HAIR EXTENSIONS? HOW MANY HAVE THEY DONE? Generally, stylists that specialize in
extensions, have several years experience, and that have applied at least 300 services - have a
higher probability of giving you a quality result. You also want to make sure the photos in their
portfolio is their own work and not photos purchased from a hair company.

HOW MANY METHODS OF APPLYING HAIR EXTENSIONS ARE THEY FAMILIAR WITH? While
many stylists may prefer one method, you want someone who is very knowledgeable with many of
the methods available. Are they customizing the extension to your specific situation? Ask them
WHY they prefer the method they are using? Is it because it is the best method for you? Or is it
the only method they know that is being sold to them by one company? While I have WORKED
with almost every method available (I am familiar with all methods) I prefer a finer weave
technique with wefted hair as I find in most cases this causes no or very minimal damage, gives
greater fullness, and is the most cost-effective in the long run. If I think the clients' hair is too weak
and damaged to begin with, I recommend a removable system so the clients' own hair is not
further damaged. I don't make as much money as one would with weaving, bonding, or links, but it
is the best method for that specific customer.

ARE THEY CONCERNED IF YOUR HAIR IS FINE? ARE THEY CONCERNED ABOUT YOUR
HAIR INTEGRITY AT ALL? If the stylist doesn't seem to notice that your hair is very fine or seem
concerned when you mention that your hair breaks easily - it is not a good sign. Unfortunately,
everyone "says" their method doesn't damage the hair. The skill of the person applying the
extensions and the condition of your hair is also a big factor.

DO THEY HAVE DETAILED KNOWLEDGE OF THE DIFFERENT HAIR QUALITY TYPES? Hair
quality and color match is probably the most important factor as to how "real" your hair extension
will appear. Your stylist should have a thorough knowledge about hair quality. Human hair is a
generic term as a lot of human hair is not good quality. There are many terms used to describe
hair quality and it can vary with each wholesaler. Here is a general list from the highest quality
down: Russian virgin unprocessed hair, Italian Cuticle blend, European Cuticle, European Remy,
Indian Remy, Chinese human, and Yaki human. Ninety-nine percent of the bonding systems out
there use Indian Remy hair which is not the "best" hair available - especially in lighter colors.
Custom blending to match hair color and texture is extremely important so where your hair ends
and the extension hair begins, is completely undetectable. I custom blend to match tone,
highlights, lowlights, two-colored hair, (etc.) EXACTLY.

ARE THEY TRYING TO HELP YOU OR YES-ING EVERYTHING TO MAKE A SALE?? You have
to go with your gut on this one. But, if you have legitimate issues and concerns and they're telling
you everything is wonderful and not discussing the pros and cons - Beware.

DO THEY GIVE YOU A DETAILED MAINTENANCE PROGRAM? If they don't give you specific,
written, maintenance care instructions - either they don't care or they don't know. I can't believe
how many people have come to me to remove matted hair extensions because they were never
told by their stylist to braid the hair when swimming. You cannot dive in a pool with your hair
"flowing" with ANY type of hair extension. It is also important to have timely maintenance, and
proper hair care techniques. There are certain shampoos and conditioners that work well with
extensions and others that do not. Price is not always the determining factor in this one.

DO THEY GUARANTEE THEIR WORK? While hair is very expensive and custom-made or
ordered, it is too costly to refund because you "changed your mind" or your boyfriend or mother
don't approve. You should be 100% sure before proceeding with hair extensions. But, if the hair
mats, is falling out, or the color doesn't match, the stylist should stand behind the work and make it
right for you.

DO YOUR HOMEWORK. Familiarize yourself with the types of extensions available and the
terminology used in the business. The internet has extensive information and will give you insight.
When you are informed, you'll be able to ask better questions to determine if what the stylist has to
offer is right for you. Quality hair extensions are an investment. It's a shame when clients receive
sub-quality work and/or damage to their own hair. Unfortunately, I have clients where I was the
third person they came to before finally receiving beautiful, quality hair that looks like their own.

About the Author
I started working with hair extensions in 1989 as a General Manager for a salon specializing in hair
replacement for men, top pieces for woman, and hair extensions. My mentor, Linda, trained me in
all aspects of these services including quality of hair, custom blending, methods of attachment,
and styling extensions. I also learned many "trade secrets" that were handed down from master
wigmakers and stylists from all over the world. I continue to travel and research new techniques
and products to assure my work is the highest quality available today. Hair Extensions are my
specialty - my goal is having long term satisfied customers.
