For better results be sure to use straight acetone from Sally's or another beauty supply and not nail polish remover. Nail polish remover may work but will take a bit more since it has other ingredients as well. Use as little as possible to break down the bonds and stay away from your hair if possible. Acetone can be very drying!

I have no problem removing the GL, I currently have ones with glue bonds in and took a couple out and it was messy, not sure if I am doing it right, I was hoping someone could give me some advice on taking them out with the oil and heat so my whole head is not one clump of glue.
I used two removers becuase I had 2 kinds of extensions in my hair. I used the alcohol on the hair dreams bonds (acetone did not work). I used acetone for the megahair bonds (they are a keratin based bond that is not as hard). I used pliers and had no problem. I also crushed the hair dreams with my hands after applying the alcohol. They crumble easily when you soak them . My extensionist uses the pliers when she removes them and I think most extensionists use them so I would not be too concerned about using them but if you do not think you can get them out safely I would go back to your extensionist.

You know, I really do hate the fact that they charge so much for a removal. This is what makes my job harder. I think what she is saying is you can use the acetone first, then take the removal pliers or tweezers and pinch down on the bonds, they will start to crumble up. There will still be some residue in the hair so don't think your done. Take your time, your gonna be up awhile. It is a long process........if the acetone doesn't work use the alcohol.

i bought pure acetone and alcohol at sallys beauty supply and used that. I did not really want to pay the fee to get mine taken out either It did take me many hours to get all of them out this way.

I just removed mine and I used acetone on the mega hair keratin glue based bonds and alcohol on my hair dreams bonds (hair dreams are similar to great lengths). I soaked a cotton ball in the solution and applied it to the bond and crunched with pliers and then pulled out the bond and combed out the residue. I dont really think anything would make this process easy except maybe sleeping with heavy conditioner to loosen some bonds.
