Hey! I'm ready to purchase a quality kit, versatile for more than one method. I went to hairpiece.com and their "Master Kit" seemed to allow for different tecniques. However there is no price. I am open for suggestions!!!!

Hmmm... that's strange there's no price or option to buy. Perhaps they're out of stock right now? I'm sure if you email or call the 800 number, they'll tell you what's up.

Anyway, it looks like it might be a good investment (without knowing how much it costs, of course), but you might want to check beforehand that the "Mega Purging Tool" is a double-tipped (heated on both sides) fusion wand with variable temperature control. If not, you might be better off buying the one from Doc Locks, which would enable you to do both prebonded fusion and shrinkies. I looked at the link for the purging tool, but they don't provide many specifics.

(Someone correct me if I'm wrong about this, by the way.)

Good luck! :)

Hey Bridget! I'll call the 8oo number tomorrow and get the details. I did email Kristin and she said she prefers the micro rings from hairpiece rather than Docs. So, if the iron is dual heated...It makes since to order rather than all the shipping costs. However, I do want to try the Shrinkies...but I've questions about those, which are worthy of a new thread.

Yep--definitely DO NOT get the rings from Doc; get them from hairpiece. The shrinks you would have to get from Doc, though. As for the fusion wand/heat clamp, I would order whichever one is double-sided and has the heat control; I know Doc Locks' clamp has those features, but I'm not sure if the hairpiece one does. Good luck! :)
