Your dream install?

Some clubs are very picky!  When I was going to college and working as a dancer, the club that I worked at was more relaxed on those rules, so girls could have tatoos, piercing, funky hair, whatever they wanted.  Now I must say that most of the older customers (35+) were put off by that kind of stuff, but the younger guys really liked it.

If money, time and ability were no object, what would be your ultimate install?

What kind of hair?
Plastikhaar or Prohair

What method?
heat seals

Who would do it?
Boogiemama or Lisa (Metalgirl)....or Kristin, if I wanted to try fusion.
I don't like going to complete strangers. 

What color(s)?
Bright, flaming red!  Red streaks plus an undercolor to make my hair like 3 inches longer.  *sigh*  I don't think my workplace could handle the all that red hotness, though.


Kalika - why won't your boss let you have mermaid hair?  I'd think having a unique look would be beneficial in your line of work.

Hi Marie,

I have never tried pretipping with any of those adhesives, so I don't know how they would work for something like that.  I don't worry about pretipping because when I do shrink links I just use the perma plug hair, which is nice because I don't have to fool around with trying to do it myself.

Metalgirl, the liquid adhesives on that site, would they work in place of liquid gold for pre tipping. Do you know if they don't get as goopy as LG. All sorts of adhesives I have never seen on that site! Which have you tryed?

Dunebug-

I find that I can use the seamless wefts over for 2-3 installs.  With care, you could probably get 4 installs out of them.

The hairpiece adhesive that I found I like using with the seamless is called Vapon No Tape, and anyone can buy it.  I usually get it from www.adventhair.com   It's not cheap, with shipping and handling it usually runs me about $30 per tube.  I can usually do 2-3 installs per tube.  I like it because it has a good hold for 6-8 weeks (wefted extensions usually don't stay in the hair as long as strands do)  and with the C-22 solvent, it's fairly easy to get out of the hair when it's time to take it out.

Amanda-

The Ultratress seamless comes in 4 strips that measure 12" in width.  Now I sandwich the client's hair between 2 pieces of the weft (that I cut into widths of 3-4 inches so it's easier to work with).  If the person already has fairly long hair but just wants fullness, than probably one package will be enough.  For most clients who want fullness and length, I use 2 packages.

I heard from SAS that Gemtress soon may be offering the Ultratress in 24" lengths, because right now it's only available in 18" lengths.  They do offer yaki textures and curly seamless wefts too.

 

So how many inches of weft would you say is needed for one client Metalgirl xx

I have not bought the seamless hair from hairpiece, so I can't say what the quality is like.

One pack is usually not enough for a full head.  I almost always buy two packs for a client.  I sandwich their hair between two pieces of the seamless and use a special hair piece adhesive.

I cut the seamless down into more managable widths, like 3-4 inch pieces so it's easier to work with.

Marie- I don't work for MB so I don't have the power to certify anyone, but I'd be down for a trip to Vegas!

If money, time and ability were no object, what would be your ultimate install?

What kind of hair?
Plastikhaar

What method?
Fusion or Prostyles style heat seals

Who would do it?
Boogiemama, or perhaps Doc Lock's

What color(s)?
Pink, purple, blue, and black

I buy the seamless wefts through either www.Gemtress.com or www.newconceptshairgoods.com  You must be licensed and have an account with both of these companies to buy from them.

Now as of lately, I have seen that both www.hairpiece.com and www.superhairfactory.com are carrying a seamless weft too.

The Micro Tabs can only be purchased through Mark Barrington (the originator of the Shrink Link system) and you must be licensed and certified via taking their class to buy them. 

The Micro tabs are very similar to the seamless, except they come in widths of 2" and they are very dense. I can send Mark Barrington any type of hair in any length I want and have him make it into the micro tabs wefts, which is nice for customization.

What is seamless and micro tabs?
