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.

Hair Extensions For Your Wedding Day By Jaclynn Kate

Over the past couple of years I've been asked by my brides "Should I get hair extensions for my wedding''? My answer... 'What are you trying to accomplish'? 

Here's what I feel, if you have thoughts of doing a very intricate updo and your hair only reaches your shoulders, my answer would be yes. 

If your hair is going in a bun & its medium length, I'd say let's try the style first to see if we can accomplish it without the extra cost.

If your hair is on the thinner side & you want a half up half down look, I'd say let's do it. See it's all dependent on what look YOU want to see on your wedding day.

If you want your hair all down and want it thicker, do it. You wont regret it for a second.

Now here's another question, 'what kind'? My first questions after being asked what kind of extensions to get is, 'well how long do you want to keep them for? Are you looking for just a one time wear? Do you want to keep these extensions and continuously use them? Or are you looking for a semi permanent fix with hair extensions'?

If you're looking to just use them once just to enhance your updo- go with a high quality clip in Remy extension. This way, morning of your wedding, your hair stylist can clip them in where they need to & at the end of the night you can pop them out! (If you haven't had too much to drink =] ) 

Clip-ins will also work wonders for half up half down looks, as long as the stylist hides the clips!

Another option if your not too keen on the clip ins would be tape extensions. If you think your hair is fine or thin, ask your stylist for tape extensions. They are literally taped to very small sections of hair. They last six to eight weeks before you'll need them removed and moved further up the hair shaft. They're reusable two or three times and they're pretty easy to hide in an updo.

Now if you are looking for hair extensions to wear longer then just the wedding day, I say go with a more semi permanent version that you can continue to wear on your honey moon! Hair Treats are bonded by a bead & do no damage & can be hidden SO easy with any style! I personally wear these extensions & would NEVER recommend a brand I don't love myself.

Many of my clients use these extensions & they LOVE them!!

Meet my 2015 bride Colby! Colby is pretty awesome & we had a great time when she came into the salon. When she first contacted me she voiced her concerns about how thin her hair was & said she was thinking about hair extensions. I asked what she wanted for an updo & she said all up in curls. After our brief discussion I asked her to come in for a complimentary consultation & she did. After our consult I examined her hair and determined she was a great candidate for Hair Treats Extensions. We ordered 60 pieces to match the color above & I said I would put them in the same day she came back for her bridal hair & makeup trial.

I can't even explain how happy & in love she was with the total look!

Clearly she loves them & they worked out great to give her the curly woven updo she wanted! Her wedding isn't until the end of 2015, so our plan is for her to wear these till June & then change the extensions for a new set.
