Hairpiece.com protubes

Oka, Thanks Charlene. Off to Home Depot I go!

Marie 87,

Do you have the contact information for Short 2 Long?

Sky,

I did call hairpiece to order the protubes, and I did use my euroloc threader.

Any wire will work for a threader though.

that works great, there is always room on the side edge to open it up without causing damage to the hair.

the threading needle that you are talking about is very fragile on the top, i have gone thru two already!

Marie, They do have the wider ones for $15.

Hey, you know you can extend the life of your long shells just by cutting it in half!  So if you ordered 250, you can get 500!  My friend does that.  She uses a metal cutter.

Good Luck, Charlene

Thanks Marie,

But I'm talking about that very long one, the one that holds like 50 metals.  It is a long stick about 18 in. long.

Back then Euro did not gived certificates.  Short to Long inventor was a Euro distributor.  So I am not going to order from the same company.  I like her very much, but hair I ordered in the past was no good.  I cannot afford to have my clients complain.  Maybe her hair changed but I'm not going through the 'testing' business again and again.

Once a company sends me bad hair and my clients will complain; they better believe that I will cross their name off my list- for good.  I don't care if they changed their business name or whatnot.

I really like this hp metal, their threader, their hair- so, so.  And my $2 clamp works- forget about those easy to break expensive ones.  However, I will use my 100% virgin hair to pretip- know of any company that can pretip hair with a machine?

Hi Jenny,

I can't comment on HairLocs cause I don't offer that.  I do know that the guy who invented HairLocs used to be a EuroLocs distributor.  He just made the 'Locs' technique better.  I was at the show in NYC and boy did he have a huge booth- stage and everything!  Whoa!  He had a huge variety of metals in lots of different sizes, different colors too!  Whereas the EuroLocs and the Short to Long had a booth the size of my bathroom with not a lot of variety.  But if I were to go back in time and choose between the the 2 'Locs' for classes, I would have used my money for HairLocs. 

EuroLocs charged me $1600 for a 5 minute class and bounced me from distributors all over the world from MN, to Canada, to FL.  And the hair, I ordered, forget it, I would receive it in like 3 months.  I also bought bad hair from them at one point.  Honestly speaking, this company was very, very disorganized.  Which is why HairLocs was born :b {I'm so jealous of all you hairlocs girls, darn I wish I would of had the oppty. to be part of the west coast team when 'Euro' was renamed 'Hair'}

However, all what it is- is metal, a clamp, pretip hair, and the threader.  I bought the hairpiece long threader too.  It's the same as what HairLocs uses.  Paid $20 at the show!

I do like to turn the flatten shell on its edges to open it up as oppose to inserting those pointy things.  I want to keep my clients' hair safe from breakage or else they'll never make an appt. with me again!

Hi Lisa and everybody!;

It's me Charlene!  Thanks for telling me about this GREAT forum!  Yeah, I paid $1600 for the Easy Hair "EuroLocs" kit back in 1996.  Then I broke my tool and had to pay $500  They sent me a new one with a 'stopper' in between the clamp so if you were to press really hard, your clamp won't break in 2.

So I discovered these less expensive tubes at the hair show in NYC and use a home depot clamp for about $2 and it works better than that costly clamp.  Mine are still in my hair!  Thank God!

If you add more pretip hair inside the metal, you won't need to fold it like a book.  Back when I did Easy Hair "EuroLocs" in 1996, the hair was very thin, like 1/2 the size of what today's pretips look like, so we were taught to fold it like a book.

But folding it like a book, I had to insert the pointy ends to remove them, which acts like 'sharp teeth' and unfortunately, I cut off my client's hair- darn.

I am very happy with this new same but less expensive metal.  It's nice and thin.  They told me it is made of aluminum.  I use my $2 clamp and fold it nice and tight and flat.  Feels flat not pointy too.  So far, so good; for now.....
