How can Hair Extensions be bad?
Before & After Good Hair Extensions Vs. Bad Hair Extensions in Rhode Island
Before & After Hair Extensions in Rhode Island By Jaclynn Kate
Before I go off on another one of my hair extension tangents I just want to say I really enjoy education. I really respect when I hear someone say 'I don't know how to do that' or 'I'm not sure but I'd like to learn'. Honesty has always been my best policy in life, love, business, whatever the case may be, and I whole heartily believe in Karma.
What all that being said, when a client comes to you with an idea for their hair and you as a stylist are unsure how to do that. Simply just don't do it. Don't attempt it if you have no idea. Don't take their money. Don't use it as an opportunity to make a paycheck it's lying. When you agree to do business with your client, you need to be 100% with them. If you are unsure of the outcome I believe you need to tell that client that before proceeding. Hair stylist & client relationships do not just run on the talent but also on the communication between the two.
-THIS IS NOT MY WORK BELOW-
Meet my newest client. This client came to me the day after getting her hair extensions done by someone else. This girl went to a stylist and asked for an ombre done with hair extensions. Now an Ombre in itself is a newly learned color technique and it can be done with extensions too. I've done it. It is not however a technique that can be done by just buying another color of extensions and popping them in. Which is what was done here. The client has brunette hair and wanted a brunette to blonde ombre.
What should have been done prior to putting the extensions in, is the hair color itself. Stylist should've Ombre her hair first and then matched the extension to the colored hair. If this isn't done you are left with a 'two toned look' or a Boot leg 'dip dye' which it looks like she's got a line around her here.
Also I would like to educate those of you who are looking to get extensions done, on the process. If you notice in the photo, it looks like she has 'lines' or 'parts' in the hair, spaces if you will. I can tell just by looking at her head these extensions were not put in properly.
Whom ever put these in, did not have clean even sections. These extensions are also the I tip extensions, which you can see in the photo are not clamped down right being the top of the I tip is sticking out into her head too much!
Now the higher up I got in her hair I noticed their was no 'formulation' on how they were put in. Meaning she just took random sections of her hair and attached an extension. Thus leaving the client with 'spaces'.
The only way to fix her hair was to take them all out & put them all back in, in the proper way. As I mentioned before she wanted an Ombre look. Being that her hair was colored with BOX dye and Wella dye, the dark brown she had wasn't lifting any higher then a medium brown and to save the integrity of her hair after two processes and Olaplaex I wasn't going to lift anymore. I then had to match it to a color for her extensions & reinstall.
Her final outcome was beautiful. Blended, color looked great and the health of her hair was intact. 
I managed to get most of the warmth out of her hair before the installation of the extensions again. Unfortunately giving her an ombre look wasn't possible without extreme damage. This client found me on Yelp and I am so glad she did cause I was given the opportunity to educate, and help her. Their's no better feeling then when a client tearfully says thank you for helping me.

Nice post on difference between good or bad hair extensions.
ReplyDeleteI had someone charge me $600 for my first set of extensions and if you can imagine it was even worse than what this girl came in with. The extensions were not in rows just random places. He used synthetic hair and not enough of them, lied and said it was human hair. It looked like I had a mullet. I didn't know any better because I had never had extensions done before. I swear if I could sue that man I would. Another stylist literally said I should report him and his license it was so bad.
ReplyDeleteThe reason I say this is because I am in total agreement about your opening statement. Don't do something on a client if you do not know how. Don't be that person that ruins someone's hair and takes their hard earned money to make them feel worse than before they walked into your salon.
Her hair looks great after you fixed it
