how long should they take to put in??

I was told that by the stylist that she only takes about 1 and a half to 2 hours to put in hair from wefts. she uses bonding. i guess she clips off the hair from the weft.

Then 2-3 hours for hair not on wefts. (bonding)

I know great lengths takes about 4.

is 1-2 hours too short of a time to do a good job???

thanks for the reply. with wefts, do u cut pieces out of the weft, and then bond them to the hair? is that how it works?

I think that SammyJB made a typo and meant a lotta hair!

If the stylist is going to install the hair with it still on the wefts that means that the entire weft or smaller measured pieces will be glued to your hair and 1 -2 hours is the standard time usually given for that type of install (this type of install is also usually much less expensive).  If she is going to use a fusion strand by strand method and telling you 1-2 hours and she has to cut the hair from the weft, apply glue to the hair and attach it to an equal amount of your hair, then, she is either very experienced and efficient or under-estimating the amount of time that will be required for a full head strand-by-strand fusion install.

haha yeah i see now.

sary.. she is going to be taking the hair off the weft and using the strand by strand method. i think i am going to meet with them again to discuss it. but i saw her before and after pics of what she has done and they were amazing!

thanks for the replies

sary.. when i first called her, she actually had me come in when she had a client in her chair, and i got to speak to the client, and see her extensions and how she did them and everything. the client told me she loved them and had been doing them forever. then she showed me her pics.

malibu... yeah i am really afriad of shedding. but both stylists (i dont know which one i am going to go to yet) said they will order extra hair, and let me keep it, so i guess if it does shed, then they will fix it. they both told me their extensions last 3-6 months.

i have also spoke to someone who does GL but shes an hour away from me, and i havent heard the best things on here about them. i am afraid to go to her, because if i have a problem, i am not going to be able to drive an hour away on the spur of the moment.

do u think its worth it to do GL, or are they all basically the same?

thanks guys

sary.. thanks so much, thats the only reason i was going to go with GL because of the name, i think i am going to try someone here that i feel comfortable with.

the person with GL waskinda cheap, with got me syeptical.

i really appreciate u responding.

do u think certain types ofhair shed more then others? or its all about how u maintain them?

ahhh. i just hope it doesnt shed. i guess the only way to really know is to have it done and maintain it the best way possible and hope for the best. u never really know whats going to happen unless u try it.

thanks guys
