I wanted to let anyone in the Ohio,Kentuky,Indiana, or anyone else for that matter to take a look! Marcella is a great lady. She is offering 4 techniques for $400! The techniques she's offering are: Fusion, Malaysian, Undetectable strands(which I'm stoked to use in the crown and hairline) and Links.
Yup...I think Malaysian is Malaysian. I've never seen her tapes. What do you think of that technique? I'm not completely certain what the undtect. is.Yes, it's strand by strand and I know it takes 2 days to install a full head...that's how Marcella explained it. She didn't say what was used(ie glues,etc.) but that it's time consuming, the hairs are finely blended, and virtually undetected. Where I think this would be most efficient would be in the crown and hairline, probably nape, too. I thought this was a good starting point for training. This class will virtually pay for itself in one install!
The undetectable-strands one sounds like an integration method; that
is, a net of hair placed at the scalp, the client's hair pulled through
the gaps, and extension hair attached to the base of the net.
AFAIK, Malaysian is like pole weaving but with a few variations (SAS
has used it for sure, though). I'm fairly sure that "undetectable
strands" is actually microillusions, and not the integration method
that Rae's describing, but I'm not completely certain about that either.

That sounds awesome Gina. And 400 bucks is a great deal, I wish I had a license, Id take the class too! Someday I will go to school and get a license.....probably in about 3 years when my daughter is off to college I may have time!
I saw the tape on the Malaysian method, it looked good, but I never tried it on anyone.
I want to learn the undectable stands if it is the same as the microillusions, however, I don't know many clients who would sit for 2 days to get their hair done, and then what would you charge them for 2 days of your time!

I thought Microillusions was the same thing, another net-on-the-scalp
type of method? At least, that's what I could divine from their
jargon-tastic sales material. I read the threads you posted, Jenny, but
there didn't really seem to be any conclusion as to what microillusions
are. Has anyone heard anything more since then?
Yeah, I'm still a little confused on exactly what microillusions are,
but they're definitely a strand-by-strand deal (a micro-micro
strand-by-stand deal, hence the 2- to 3- day installation) wherein a
few real strands are woven into a few extensions strands with some sort
of thread. There's no net base involved, though, like there is with
hair integration and hair blending, which don't take nearly as long to
install. All of these cost a fortune, many thousands, by the way. SAS
might know what this is and be able to explain it better.
One of the members here, Afropuffs, had actually been planning to get
the microillusions and knew a lot about the process. In the end, I
don't think she got it, and unfortunately I haven't seen her here for
awhile.
There might be some more specific info on BHM, though.
Well...I guess we're all about to find out!!!!!!!!!!!
I agree Mg...I couldn't imagine finding a client who could devote 2 days on extensions. Then, the cost of labor would be insane! I do think it would be perfect for nape/crown/visible areas! Who knows...a client may fall in love with the undetectable vs. keratin or tubes...and be willing to pay well for the service! Hmmmmmm...........................
Yeah rae...My theory is no one could definitivly agree upon or explain the endetect.
Here are a few links from BHM that might be helpful:

Here's a photo of what the strand should look like when it's done:
