YOU SUPPLY, WE APPLY
There are many retailers that now sell hair, typically this is on the weft although many cities sell all types of extensions. Never be intimidated in these shops and make sure you always feel the quality of the hair and check yourself that the colour is a perfect match, not all shops are fantastic at this so double check yourself. They want your custom, but it is a good idea to shop around.
There are many who sell hair on eBay or Amazon and these places are fine, but sometimes the hair match is difficult to get perfect - especially the blondes. Some hair may not last as long if bought from Amazon - there are a couple of sellers that I wouldn't recommend I will give you the names but will not publish them on here. If the hair is coming from China please be aware the postage will take at least 3 weeks. Hair from China can be good quality and it can be poor quality, but then this is the same as when buying from any shop. If you want to go down this route then it's a good place to start.
When buying hair for micro-weft, sew in or the LA Weave please make 100% sure that the hair is on 1 long weft. There have been a few occasions where people have purchased hair but they have been clip in and this means that you will need at least 2 packets. If the weft is thin again you may require more packets as a general guide at least 110 grams is ideal, thicker hair will require more.
If you want advice or suggestions of shops please ask me and I will be happy to pass on names that I have heard about from my clients. Of course, this is advice and I can not be held responsible for the quality of the products you buy.
I do not suggest dying the hair extensions, but understand at times you may find this necessary with hair you buy yourself. If you have to use the gentlest brand of dye available e.g. olia or prodigy or natural - the colour will grab the extensions so be very very careful and do a strand test. NEVER EVER use bleach products as they will 100% destroy the hair extensions.
The wash in colours in pinks, blues etc will grab but are safe to use. Again do a strand test.
Please make sure that you have either had a colour match from me or from the place you purchase from. This is essential for natural looking hair.
This is ideal for those clients who prefer to source their own hair. Using this service you are able to get the exact hair you want; which can occasionally be problematic for certain colours, lengths and bonds. If you are need some advice on good quality hair sources I can recommend some suppliers who people have told me about.
Firstly if you opt for the weave/sew in method then and you have the hair then for a fitting charge I am happy to apply the extensions. This also applies to the "I-tips", Micro Loops and Pre-bonded hair. Please note, however, that if you opt for the I-tips, it is essential you either purchase the micro-rings or for a small surcharge I will supply them for you.
When purchasing your own hair, I can not be held accountable for the quality of the hair, nor the glue that is applied - this can also effect the bonds.
I also offer a "Pre-Pre-Bonding". Where I can use the hair you have to make either I-tips or nail-tip pre-bonded extensions. All hair you purchase must be on the weft when forwarded to me for bonding. I will use only Italian Keratin glue to bond in Clear, Amber or Dark.
As a guide for bonding
For 50 strands you will require 1/2 a pack of hair at least 50 grams.
You will require 100-250 grams of hair for individual bonds.
Sometimes you may need 300 grams if you have very thick hair.
All extra hair will be bonded for you if you wish or saved on the weft.
Each bond I make will be 1 gram or 0.5 grams or a mix. Depending on where your extensions will be applied, length of your own and what you want.
You can mix colour wefts and lengths.
This service will take 4 days from me receiving hair; or you can pay a premium and get it completed in 1-2 days (not always available).
