ok, so went in for my consult she was great in my opinion but just wanted to run this buy my new found "experts" here!  Wink

the hair is bohyme (?sp) remmy and she said it has the cuticle removed so it is soft - I am trying to remember everything she said -

she puts it in with this tube thing that once you heat it - it shrinks around the hair??  - is that shrinkes I want to say she called it microtube???  Anyway she said that she takes a larger section than you would w/ Great lengths and she brick layers it - I saw her pics and mannequin heads and was impressed - she has been doing it for > 15 years.

The hair is 400 install 400 and then she said upkeep every 6-8 weeks at 60/hour - in my opinion NOT too shabby at all considering I spent > 2500 for GL.

I did tell her I am concerned about blending w/ my short hair and she seemd not to concerned only told me I would not be able to wear in a high pony tail.

Any feedback?? 

Thanks  Trisha

I want to be clear that I am not an expert of prices of salons, but it seems like a very good price to me, since it is Bohyme hair, and the hair in itself is already expensive. (about half of her price I would guess)
I would ask her how much she charges for removal, and how long it takes.
I would also ask her how long you should spend on the 'in between' visits, to see if it's gonna be expensive overall, and also how many strands are you supposed to lose on a regular basis every week or month

i would show up at the salon when she is doing a maintenance appointment on one of her current clients and check out her hair, straight or body wave depends on if your hair is pin straight or not

I just got concerned when I heard boheyme cuticle removed, can one of the real hair gurus chime in and tell us if that's good.  I know cuticle aligned but cuticle removed?

I didn't think the cuticle was removed on Bohyme.
The price is good but do you have to buy new hair each time?
You'll get your hair in a higher pony than if you did a weft method.

i thought remy meant the cuticle was not removed?

cuticle free hair wont last as long so you might only get 3 mths before you have to buy new hair

I swear she said cuticle removed - but maybe . . .. not  . . . .I know she said the hair was bohyme remmy (?) and I saw the package and it said the same thing.  She said the maintenece is 60/hour and usually takes no longer than 1 - 11/2 hours.  She includes removal into the initial fee.  Trish

now that I think about it maybe she said that the cuticle goes in the same direction so it is super soft and tangle free?  make sense?

That makes sense but there will be some tangles. Not matting but it does tangle.

Wait r u saying that the hair is $400 and the installation is another $400.0 for a total of $800, or is it $400.00 total for hair and install.

I use bohyme hair for most of my installs - the hair is usually about $250.00 for more than one color, that is retail, I don't mark up anymore than that.
 
My last client had paid over 1800 for her prior intall, and was thrill with her hair when I was done- I charged $350.00for the install. I should charge more.....Lamp

I'm still wondering if the cuticle is removed on Bohyme? You may have heard her correctly. Did you have it done yet?

From what I understand some of the best hair out there has the cuticle stripped with acid. This allows Indian or Chinese hair to match finer Caucasian hair very well. I don't know about Bohyme.

What I was trying to say is that just because hair has been treated to strip the cuticle doesn't mean it is bad hair. Some crappy hair is processed this way, but some very good hair that lasts a long time has its cuticle at least partially removed, from what I understand.

And "remy/remi" can mean hair with its cuticle intact or hair that has been processed to have a european texture, from what I've read.

I found this over on BHM (scroll to the bottom of the page) and it sure made me understand better.
