So sorry to see this happening to you. I agree with everyone who has posted about the various reasons of why someone would be so mean spirited. In reality, you have to feel sorry for someone like this. They must have sad little lives that they need to strike out at someone else in a guest book on the Internet?
I get attacking emails all the time from "anonymous" people who hate my AskKaren column or my hair care articles and say they could do it "so much better" or that they hate Hairboutique.com or HairTalk or our Gallery or whatever they feel like attacking at that point. It used to hurt my feelings years ago but now I actually just feel genuinely sorry for them. Of course when I ask them to email me a phone number where I can call them to seriously discuss their complaints...they never answer. Which just tells me that they are cowards on top of it all.
And yes...the Internet is full of strange people. But there are lots of great people out there as well and I receive 100x more positive and supportive emails then negative. So it is just part of the territory.
I think that 99.99% of anyone reading the nasty posts will actually feel bad for you and realize that the posts are from some jealous, crazy, mean spirited person who needs to get a life. :-)

Hiya luv..... wot you like?!!! I was the size of a house! My secret is, give up squeezin' out the puppies, drink diet coke (bleugh!) instead of full fat and get back in the saddle, wehey!!! Darlin' girl, if you have good hair, I want it!! Same old story, 613, 22, and I'll have to check out a colour ring for the number for dirty dishwater blonde, unless you know where I'm coming from. Do you still have my email address? I can't find yours, but then my one year old is a dab hand at deleting everything.......ps, I have to say that I have switched to using amm's shrinkies, those little buggers are good eh? I had my horse hair in for 3 weeks and not even a smidgen of a slide. Hope you see this soon, I am without hair and I don't want to leave the house xx
Oh my god chick, first of all congratulations on the weight loss, you weren't a big girl anyway, so I can't imagine there being much left of you after a huge weight loss of 4 stone, wow, you go girl, how the flipping heck did you do that, tell me your secret he he xx
Secondly thanks so much for the confidence vote I like the "virgin" comment, that made me chuckle, hair extension virgin LOL.
About the fat comment. I've always had the round fat, fat or thin so maybe because I've always posted head shots of my own extensions installs maybe I look like I've got a moon face LOL but hey it could be worse, I could only have one leg or no arms or something so I'll keep the "chip munk" cheeks LOL. I think this girl just used anything she could with me and Kate, Amm never posts her full face pictures so on that instance she was probably glad she didn't.
The gentleman is offering me the extendmagic plus one tape cartridge for £499 so hollor if you want me to get you one chick. I'm definitely getting one when I get back from hols on 7th September.
I would be happy to supply you with some bohyme if you want chick, same hair as you were installed with but they've since upped it and its even better now.
Hey, Amanda, long time no hear!! I've got a coupla things to say, well actually it's more like a book.......First of all, rise above it! You are an awesome extensionist, and I've had 6 installs now and done a lot of snooping around so I think my opinion is valid! I was a virgin when I came to you and you never forget your first time and if you didn't live so f@**!!g far away I'd be in your living room every 2 months! Secondly, why do people think you are fat? To everyone reading this, Amanda is slim and toned and a reet bonny lass! Thirdly, I think I started something with the extend magic thing, unfortunately when I contacted the uk suppliers they wanted about £700 for it and I happen to know that the owners of my sister in law's salon bought it in france for less than £200.... what's the score on your door? Lastly I have had hair from all over the place, and twice now have bought AD premium £120 a weft for 18", and received 16" of what looked like lovely hair, but my head looked like a horses ass after 2 weeks....utter crap. So hard even at the beginning to make it look nice, the texture was coarse and thick, and my hair is really fine, What a bummer. I got their new black book and I see they are doing virgin, I'm happy to pay good money, but I want nice soft silky tangle free hair that moves like mine (don't we all) and I can't seem to get it. What do you think chick? Solve my problems and I'll be your slave forever lots and lots of love michele

Amanda, Unless you request that people email their comments and you post them on a comments page of your site after you review it. It's more of a hassel and you'd have to have a separate email but it's one way around it.
Its ridiculous. It really is, it fair upset me that somebody can be so cruel. I can't even have a guest book with proper posts on it now because of it all x
She has got to be kidding.Your work is really good.I have seen some some before and afters online that were nothing short of scary.And its pretty obvious from her comments that she has been lurking for awhile.That install where the girl wanted to look like jordan was quite some time ago.And why did she decide to pick on you and kateadreana? I sure hope she has better reason than you guys being brits.

Not a lot chick, its assistant level really, the cutting comes on Level 2. I was supposed to go back to college this September to do Level 2 but I've got that busy with the extensions that there's no way I can do it x
Ohh right, i skipped level one :P If your busy with extensions, your doing something right ;) keep at it.. Personally you and shell are my top favourite extensionists. I love the work you both do, and i'm envious! XX

Chick you do wonderfull work so dont worry about it!! ive been there when you have been doing clients extensions seen your clients after, coloured their hair with their extensions in and they have all been fab!! this is a top compliment from moi with 20 years in the hairdressing business:- i liked your work so much i had you install my hair extensions too!! you are a diva!! i have seen hundreds of installs and yours is by far the best!! that idiot is just a narrow minded git with a personality bypass and the only thing in her life she can be proud of is being the worlds first living BRAIN DONOR!! i will endeavour to give her hell via email!!

Amanda if I where you I would contact freewebs.com as I believe that they are hosting your website? Am I right in this? If so contact them and they could possibly offer you something where you can approve the comments before they go onto the guestbook, its an option and I believe that freewebs.com are suppose to be very good.

Hi there swizzmiss, welcome to the board, I'm so sorry you've had to be made to think that this is what this board is usually like because its not, its a lovely board. I haven't done anything to this person at all, I don't know why she's targeted me. I've been doing extensions for about 2 years now. I have NVQ1 in hairdressing. Therefore I can't get insurance to cut round people's faces only to install the extensions. All my clients know this when they come to have them fitted so that is basically why my clients all look the same, they go away and have them cut after they have been installed if they want to but the majority of them love them and leave them the way they are. I have only just started my website so curly photos will be on there I just haven't had time to load them so far.xx
