Does Mark B. require you to take a course in order to buy from them, or do you just need your license? Have you compared them with Dr. Locs? and how much, if you don't mind me asking... thank you!!

Bridget, I think this was the post you missed:

From MetalGirl:
"The company wants to maintain very tight control of their product, so they do require that everyone take a class before they will sell them the product. I took the class about 5 years ago , and at that time it was $1000 (that does includes the tools)

They are working on a DVD that stylists can buy for training, but I don't know when they will have that out or how much it will cost.

They don't demand that you buy their hair. They get their hair from Extensions Plus in LA, which sells top quality real European hair as well as good Indian hair. Any stylist can buy from Extensions Plus, too.

A few times, I have brought them the wefted Bohyme hair that I bought at Super Hair Factory and they put their hard plastic tips on that hair for me. When the stylist supplies their own hair, they charge $40.25 per ounce to turn that hair into their 'perma-plugs'. The tips of the perma plugs are not like the shoelace tip you may be used to. The end plastic is blunt and square.

Also, I don't think that they would care if you use Dr. locks shrinkies, but dr. locks shrinkies are not as good. The Concepts, Inc. shrink links shrink down much better (the tube is thinner) and no rolling of your fingers are required. I bought some of the dr.locks product for comparison, and I don't like them compared to the Shrink Links. Shrink Links do stay in the hair pretty well, most of my clients wear them for 12 weeks at a time without a problem.

The cost of the Shrink Links are $27.50 for a container or 200. They also have their own tool to thread them onto the hair, and it workd great."
