umm the education link on that site only lists a course on the 23rd of may... also for those who do this professionally. is $1100 the normal cost of a one day course? I thought (but please slap me if I'm wrong) that SAS and Gina both took some courses recently that were much less expensive. |

balmain like to rediculously over charge for everything. £12 for 12 pre tips of hair that lasts about a month and a half and can't be reused

Well I've heard that too. But I've had to spend plenty of cash on keeping my various fitness certifications current. And some things are more expensive and some are less but I had remembered that give or take these kinds of classes were priced similarly to those. Sure I *can* find a way to spend $2000 for a two day but only 6 hour course on how to be a *fitness trend of the month* instructor. But most, though not all, of the ones that have staying power are between $200 and $700 for a weekend. How many weekends you are going to need is a whole other question Not that Balmain is the trend of the month. I don't know jack about Balmain. I just had this idea in my head that extension education was similarly priced to fitness education. |

| I got to see balmain ,a neighbor works at a salon and the girls there took the class. I dont get the point of this, it seems to be nonadhesive shrinks with keritin (what she described is nail head tip and they have to cut it down to fit in and then were told to save scraps to retip with!)Tips. They werent small and neet like MB. Because you cut the tip down they arnt consistant. And the price of the har was way to much. I think if your useing keritin why put a shrink on? |

I had NO LUCK with the Balmain. I bought the complete kit for $250 at a NYC show in 2002{?}. I found the tips to be 'gummy'. Perhaps the glue is now refined? I do like their dreads though! But as a hair company, did you at least keep my record and send me info on THE LASTEST COMPANY CHANGES??? NOOOOO!!! As for the EuroLocs, I had unprofessional experiences for the price I paid for their class- $1600 in 1996. From the slow hair delivery, not getting client referrals, piece of sh*t clamp which broke in half and I had to pay $500 for a new one, and last but not least the tips of these hair disingerates- NOT REUSABLES WORD OF ADVICE TO HAIR COMPANIES: Offer full day trainings, phone support, 800 phone numbers, easy internet orders, wholesale to professionals, warranties on your products, national advertising to create HUGE CLIENT REFERRALS. This is my dream hair company. So far Great Lengths, International Hairgoods, ProStyles TOPS MY LIST!!! PS, I have bought my airfare to Sacramento, CA to take the Mark Barrington class- Charlene ------------- http://www.cybermane.com - CyberMane.com |
$2100 and I as a professional NEVER GOT 1 REFERRAL FROM THEM

I took it in New York back in 1996. It was only a 5 min. class. The people were very nice and I met the inventor- Felix. He was nice but man, he is a bad business person. The original hair was decent quality except for the glue. However, newer distributors pretip their own hair and sold it to stylists which is why you might have gotten "imitation hair". FYI- I did a client with HairLocs and it is the same exact quality like EuroLocs. I also noticed that this client who refuses to go back to her stylist, has different textures of 'HairLocs' in her hair. I noticed one of the textures immediately- it was from Hairpiece.com
I asked about their DVD, and I spoke to Mark directly and he said it may take awhile for the DVD. He sounded as if he has not yet started {but I could be wrong}. He would pay you a visit if you gather I think about 10+ stylist so you all could avoid the CA trip. -Charlene ------------- http://www.cybermane.com - CyberMane.com |

I don't think that MB has started making the DVD yet. I think it's just a thought at the moment, so anyone interested in the professional shrink link method, consider taking the class. Shrink links are my #1 choice for installing human hair, and now I'm hooked on prostyles for installing synthetic hair. By the way, I took the Balmain class earlier this year and there is nothing special about it. It's just fusion, like all the rest. I found that the bonds are super hard to remove and their hair turns to straw in just a few weeks. ------------- http://www.Godiva-Hair.com - http://www.Godiva-Hair.com http://www.MetamorphosisHairDesign.com - http://www.MetamorphosisHairDesign.com |

Yes, Prostyles (aka Prohair) is a heat seal technique utilizing a 3 strand braid. ------------- http://www.Godiva-Hair.com - http://www.Godiva-Hair.com http://www.MetamorphosisHairDesign.com - http://www.MetamorphosisHairDesign.com |

Wow! Im happy to get such a great response to my post. In regards to the Balmain certification workshop... The cost is only $850.00 per student and most of the cost is in tools, Mannequin Heads, training hair, Lunch, etc. It usually last from 10am - 3pm no later than 5pm. Balmain is a Fusion method. The bonds have changed from a softer bond to a harder bond. They are called plus bonds. The hair used is Chinese and Indian hair. The Best quality. The hair is reuseable guranteed for 6 months. Now Doublehair is also availiable. Doublehair.com With the pre-tipped hair you can cut it in half to make a samller extension strand. In the workshop you will learn how to manage the extension hair and keep it looking beautiful with the hair care products. CyberMane, I apologise for your neglect from Balmain and Eurohair. If you will contact me I'll make sure you get the service you deserve. mailto:geoncox@hotmail.com - geoncox@hotmail.com |

Thanks Geon- Currently, my clients seem happy with the Great Lengths, as far as hot fusions are concerned, but I am always open to new stuff. I would be interested in samples or are you going to be in a hair show? By the way, I used your Balmain dreadlocks for this editorial http://www.chicagofashionista.com/shopping_spree/los_angeles_fashion.htm - http://www.chicagofashionista.com/shopping_spree/los_angeles _fashion.htm Here's a better pic. So! I put your hair to good use! -Charlene ------------- http://www.cybermane.com - CyberMane.com |

Cybermane, We typically do IBS in NYC and Cosmoprof in Las Vegas. Have you see the new product from Balmain Called doublehair? All details at doublehair.com. If you would like I can send you a brochure. Perhaps you were on Cora's mailing list and she is no longer with the company so maybe you slipped through the cracks. Just let me know how I can help you. Also I have dreadlock and Braids for 50% off now if you are interested in what I have in stock. Let me know. John |
