Thanks. Yeah I figured she would be too far away from my locale. Ive had a tough go of it. I found a lady in Boston though who seems good. She has a fair amount of photos on her site and shes very friendly on the phone. The hair just arrived today and its fabulous! Perfect match texture wise and the color is really close so I think I could get by not coloring my hair but since my own hair is a little dull and the extension hair is shiny, I might want to do it anyway so it doesnt get that dull on top, glossy on the bottom look which is weird. Thanks again.
Wow, those are some beautiful weaves! I did not look at all the links before. A couple there are really close to how I would like my weave done. Where is she located? I could not find it on the site.

Krimsa, mixed bag is right. I know at www.reniece.com her befores and after are amazing. While some look wild and shocking in their befores, their afters bring out their beautiful side. She has the pics taken by a professional photographer and the make up is done by a professional as well.
Yeah some people are just plain strange looking and the extensions are really not helping matters heheh. Not all though. Ive seen some really beautiful women on those websites. Its a mixed bag.

And don't forget the weird looking women. I went to one site an most of the women looked like they were transexuals or on crystal meth. Blocked out faces are definitely a plus
I agree MileHigh. Not to reopen that whole issue but I have actually never been willing to pose for a "before" and only let them take photos of the completed back. I dont know if that helps them much as I guess people could say it isnt extensions or she had a lot of hair to start with which I dont. Unless they use a digital cam of course, you have no idea what they snapped and what they are going to use. As an example I saw a photo on a website of a ladies' new install and her G-string was showing! It was all jacked up in the back and looked trashy. So even ones from the back could be awful!

can you imagine their reactions when they saw their pics? You would think the stylist would want only the best ones but I guess beggars can't be choosey.

I wouldn't mind a before and after pic as long as my face was blacked out, I would want my face to be posted all over the web if my real hair was all jacked up. Besides, you know how we black girls can be. We wouldn't want the whole wide world to know that we were really baldheaded
I really should start previewing my posts so that I won't have to edit them
Sorry backtracking on this thread as I was just reading thru it, and had to post about the whole having your pic taken before and after for a stylist to use as a referral/example...
I think if the stylist wanted to take a photo, at LEAST have your permission to utilize a photo that you both agree upon, if the face isn't going to be 'blurred' out. The reason....I was recently looking at before/after photos on a stylist's site, and alot of these women had their eyes half closed, like they were high. The pics were obviously taken as they were in the middle of a blink. I really felt bad for the clients! If I was the stylist, I would've 'blurred' out the woman's face, just to prevent any possible embarrassment for her!
i Do want to learn the lace fronts though. i think i just need to buy one and try it on someone, i dont even have a clue of what to look for when buying one.
Hey Tangles,
Drop a line to Matt Yeandle. His contact info and work is displayed here: http://www.beautybymatt.com/Wigs.html. There's some real nice looking pieces on the site.
I've been kicking around the idea of acquiring one as well and want someone in the U.S. to do it. Let me know if you're interested. Maybe we can strike a deal for two.
