Removing Great Lengths next week

I agree I love this board, I am new to the board and I am trying to find out everything possible about fusion, microlinks, shrinkies an all of the above.  I have been a hairstylist for 20years and now I would like to offer extensions to them instead of sending them to other stylist. I can not braid , and choose not to learn , but I would love to learn the other methods of hair extensions. Any advice from experience people would be great.  I would like to be certified  in everything that I offer to my clients. I specialize in healthy hair and that is what I am known for.( So I would like to keep that reputation) Help anyone,everyone,where and how do I get started.

Thanks

Great Length's are removed using the same method as fusion.  There is no reason why she can't keep the majority of the bond in tack when sliding the extensions out.  And from that point, you can just cut the tip off, however, I would suggest NOT doing that until you are ready to re-install.  There are soooooooo many wonderful people on this site that are very willing to help you with any questions and or training you might have or need.  We're all here for ya!

No, kidding Malibu!  Whether or not you ever use the hair, for how much they cost you, I would keep the hair on principle alone!  I don't think that it's too much to ask that she be careful with YOUR hair when she takes it out.  YOU paid a pretty penny for it and she is being paid by YOU to remove them.  This is a business transaction not a favor. You want a service done in a particular way, if she cannot accomodate you, get someone else to remove the hair! 

I have not clue how to do Pro Tac. how long does it last? Sherrie said she could show me.. I am serious too SHerrie, my email is pjsgbk@aol.com.  Email me and we can work out something for you to show me.  About how much money would it cost to do Pro Tac and for like 12 inch hair? Two colors, a light brown and a blonde and all the supplies? How long does it last??

I will just tell her I want the hair and leave it at that.  If she says it is useless or whatever I will say I want to keep it.

The hair will only end up on the floor if she throws it on the floor after she removes the extension!  That's just the Great Lengths tactic to get you to spend another ton of money.  It's in the stylist's best interest to tell you that you can't reuse the hair since the stylist marks up the hair  a lot and makes a profit off of that too.

I have removed many fusion installs, and I just set aside the hair because it can be reused again.  You paid for this hair, and as we all know good hair is like gold, so don't let her throw away your investment!

Ditto.. if the hair can be reused, you wanna save it!!! If the stylist won't let you, find someone else to do your removal who will let you save the hair..

Yeah, I have had them in longer than 3 months.  Since Jan 18th with absolutely no tangle or anything. Iwill be sad. I don't know how to do them myself.

Hey Paula,

It's me again, and I was just thinking (No! it doesn't hurt) lol.  If I was you, I would ask your stylist to save the Great Lengths hair when he or she removes it, and have somebody else re-install it for you. If he or she doesn't agree to do it, then have somebody else remove your extensions and re-install them.  When you spend that much money on hair and it's such good quality, I see no reason to trash it.

Bunner. Sorry to hear that it's such an adjustment when taking them out. I have also spent thousand on my hair and now do it myself for less then $200. Why dont you try that?
