I just saw your post about Invisible Hair.....That was another
class I was looking at taking.So It's just a waste Metalgirl? What
didn't you like about it?I was interested in taking the class
because it was supposed to be more for hair loss clients, which
I thought would be great to learn for them.
Thanks

Metalgirl,

You mentioned the invisible method. Is that anything like microillusions? I remember someone inquired about the invisible method awhile ago, but I don't thinkn we ever really established what it was.

Thanks! :)

Yes, I spent $1500 to learn Eurolocs plus the cost of a plane ticket and hotel to go to Arizona for the class.

No, I'm not really upset. First of all, it was a tax write off, so that's ok. I have just decided that most of these extension companies will tell you anything to get your money. I also paid $1200 for the Balmain class which was a waste of money, and for $1400 for the Invisible Hair class which was also a waste. In total, I have probably spent $10,000 on hair extension training over the last 10 years.

I think that in any case, I'm on a quest to find the best, least damaging extension method for my clients (and myself) and by this process of elimination, at least you know what doesn't work.

Thanks for clarifying Metalgirl. So did you spend $1,500 to take the Eurolocks course and get the kit? If so, are you upset that you spent all that money on a "hair damaging" system?

Hey guys!

Hellas Hair is a distributor for Eurolocs. At the show, you probably talked to Tony, he owns the distributorship for Eurolocs and he named his company 'Hellas Hair' (because he is Greek, that' s why he chose the name 'Hellas)

Anyway, the eurolocs do have a double crimp method which makes them stay in better than hairlocs, but they also cause breakage just like the hairlocs do.

You guys, I don't think metal in the hair is a good thing. You put a hard metal against soft , fiberous hair, and over time the hard metal is going to chew into the soft hair, and then you have breakage.

The hair Tony sells he gets directly from Eurolocs, and it is pretty good quality. I haven't had a bad batch. I just don't do that method anymore due to the breakage factor. Tony is a nice guy, and he most always sends you your hair order via overnight delivery, and he doesn't charge for delivery.

I met him when I attended the training class in Arizona, that's where he is headquartered. He's nice, the hair's nice, but the method is not nice.

If you want, I'll take a picture of my eurolocs tool so you can see what it looks like , just let me know.

CaliforniaKristin: Do you have a website address or phone number for Hella Hair? I'd like to see what this clasp looks like.

That's so funny about the Hella Hair v. Hairlocs thing. Awhile ago, Eurolocs said they were suing Hairlocs for the same thing. I'm no fan of Hairlocs at all, but I think all this "we had it first," patent stuff is a little much. I can see when something is truly revolutionary in its design and its result, but how about the first company to create hair extensions in the first place. (Was that Dome?) Can they sue everyone who's come into the fold since? As I've always understood it, with intellectual property/patents, it's not only that the object itself has an inherent difference; it's use has to serve a unique purpose or produce a unique end as well. I'm not a lawyer, however. :)

Kristin, can you put in a full head of synthetic to look like something on Boogiemama's site? Dumb question, I know, but just checking.

Who me? Hehe.... I was there yesterday. They had a lot of interesting stuff but it wasn't what I thought it was going to be. As far as extensions go they had Balmain, Cinderella, Hair Locs, and Hella Hair. I got talking to the person at Hella Hair because their product looked just like Hair Locks... The lady told me that Hella Hair was the first to have the locking technique and they are sueing the pants off Hair Locks.... Hahaha.... Both systems looked identicle except Hella Hair didn't crimp the links flat, they had a special tool to bend them in a U shape which they claimed held better. It might hold better but how the heck would you get that out?!?!? Hmmmm.... My only problem with all these systems is that the hair looks like crap. When it's brand new it's supposed to look the best right??? All the hair they had out for demonstration didn't look like anything I'd want to use in my hair....

Hi Kristen,

I think I remembered you went to a hair show this past weekend. Did you learn anything new? Any new hair out there?


Shoot, I need spell check on this thing. Show I meant.
