I will start and if anyone wants to follow through feel free...

My name is Kimberly and I am 34 years old. I live in NJ (near Princeton) with my husband Michael who is 37 and our two children Christopher who is 6 and Nicholas who is 3.





The blond hair is from my husband's side of the family (his hair looks darker in this picture though) - LOL

We will be married 10 years this May

At the moment I am a stay-at-home mommy but will resume teaching in another year (certified K-8th grade). I play percussion instruments in a community band, love the beach, amusement parks, dancing, shopping, and of course being with my boys and Mike.

We also have a puppy Cookie who is a Bichon Frise. She is 6 months old.

Glad I found this board filled with other hair junkies who love playing with their hair as much as I do.

Im from Seattle but now live in a small town most people have never heard of. I honestly believe Im the ONLY white girl in the whole state who wears extensions, lol

Im 21 years old, and moved here right after i turned 20, although I've been living on my own since I was 17.

Im an exotic dancer by night, and computer nerd/hair junkie by day.

And thankfully I have no children, lmao, but I have a cat...



His name is Monty (cause I found him in the engine of a monte carlo) but I call him dumb@ss

This is my "family"

I'm from Huntington Beach, CA. I have my Degree in Elementary Education from California State University Long Beach... I haven't used it yet but maybe someday when I have children of my own.

I typically work 6 days a week doing extensions and in my free time I'm getting an online shop up and running for all of your extension needs. I'd like to get an actual shop opend in 1 years time so wish me luck.



Can you see my new nose ring? I know it's tiny.... I'm so proud that i didn't chicken out! LOL!



Yes, I'm a nerd....




This is my Boyfriend. He's from New Zealand. We've been doing the LONG distance thing for 8 months now... I just got back tonight from dropping him off at the airport.... .... We're planning on him moving here this summer and getting married... Yay!!!!

Hi, my name is Metalgirl (aka Lisa) and I am also a hair-a-holic!

I live in the beautiful foothills of the Sierra Nevada mountains on 6 acres. I have no human children, but do have 3 dogs, 2 cats, 1 bird, and 2 donkeys. I am married to a metal musician (drummer) and have been with him for 9 years.

I have been a licensed stylist for 14 years, and I also have a bachelor's degree in Marketing.

I work like a maniac, many hours a week, mostly doing extensions, but also a lot of color work too. In my free time, I play with my animals, design and sew my own clothes, and do mosaic tile art.

I am currently working on opening my own specialty hair extension salon.

Hey Guys -

My name is Meredith. I am in between jobs right now, thinking about going to school FT. I am a ct licensed Ins Agent so I can always go back to that if I want, and I love computers....

I am marrying Tim in June, we have been together just over 2 years. We have four cats, a chihuahua and a ferret. You can see some of them at www.mydogpeanut.com (I didn't finish adding them all yet) ::smile::


I have a nephew who is about to turn 6. He is the sunshine of my life. HE is autistic though you would never know it. HE has been on special diets (he was gluten and casein, soy and egg free but now he is on a specific carbohydrate diet, though he is still free of those aforementioned foods...) and all kinds of therapies and is doing amazing. He calls me Aunt Sweetie, and so therefore he is PERFECT HAHAHAHA. Unfortunately he is moving away to NJ :(. He has a webpage too, though it DESPERATELY needs to be updated. (I am trying to have all the website updated by Mar 1) www.thayersworld.com


Otherwise, I am a singer. I just finished 5 years in a few Modern Rock Cover Bands. the last being www.mtmxrocks.comas the lead singer. I WISH I DID EXTENSIONS THEN!!!! I am currently looking for another similar gig or a punk original project.


Uh, pets, Thayer, and Singing.... Well, and HAIR BUT YOU GUYS KNOW THAT HAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Mer
i love plastikhaar

Hi i've been browsing this board for a while and I haven't been a member on here for as long as you girls but I thought I should introduce myself....I am 21 years old (22 tomorow) and I live in London UK. I work full time as a hair extensionist at a place called Lucinda Ellery. once I left high school I studied hairdressing and worked as a full-time mental health nurse then found my way back into hairdressing. I love hair and most of all hair extensions. I live in London with my boyfriend who I have been with for a year and a half and we have a goldfish named lou-lou and we are in the process of looking for a puppy (maltees breed). As yet I don't know how to post pics so if any of you guys can help me out I will get pix posted ASAP.

Well, I am a full time mommy, maid and sex slave. Part time wanna be hair geek.

My husband, who is hands down the most fantastic man in the world. (valentines day, so I will be sweet) An absolute angel, treats me like a queen and an angel even when it isn't deserved. The perfect man. (ok [/sappiness]) anyway, we have been married for 3 years, we have 2 kids. About to turn 9 and 2.

Hi! I don't know how to do pictures yet... but you all just wait.
To start, I have to say I am struck by how intelligent, diverse, and beautiful you all are. Hair is power!
My name is Christina, I'm married and 35 years old. We have a two year old, a corgi a cat and a yellow lab. (by the way are those doggies Kuvasz? Lisa?)
I have a degree in classics, and am a licensed stylist. The diploma course at Vidal Sassoon in London rocks by the by. I like color and extensions best, but I also do airbrush tanning and am learning airbrush body art.
The biggest thing on my mind this new year is that my husband and i sat down to write a check to the Red Cross after the tsunami and realized we had no cash because we'd just spent a bunch of money on stupid hallmark crap over christmas. Learning from that experience is my new year's resolution and putting it out there will hopefully help me stick with it.

Hi. . .My name is Carolina Fina Fina (not really, it's Carolyn, but that's what my Italian grandma called me). . . she was a hairdresser. . .

I'm 41, been married for 11 years, have a 7 year old daughter, and am the chief operating officer of an import and distribution biz that I started 3 years ago. (I just sold my company to a wholesale jewelry company, so if y'all ever need any jewelry wholesale, just lemme know. . .)

I go to China from time to time and gotta tell you that I have a secret dream of putting together a "ladies shopping trip" to Shenzhen. Oy! the BARGAINS!!

So here's a list of my loves in no particular order (except HAIR which goes at the top!!)
having fun, humor, wit, beauty, intelligence, interior design, art and creative expression, good food & wine (OK the wine can be cheap, I admit), riendship
spirituality, motherhood, individuality, constant exploration and growth, um, let's see. . .I think that's it.

Do y'all like my sultry icon? I thought it was kinda funny. I'll post a more realistic pic when I figure out how to do it. Take care and I really look forward to getting to know you all better !! WHAT AN AMAZING AND TOTALLY BEAUTIFUL GROUP OF CHICKS!!! -Fina

Hi ladies!
My name is Maggi, and I live in the "OC" in California. I've been married for four years to my best friend. We have no kids, but two beautiful Doberman Pinscers, and two sweet kittys. I got my cosmetology license in 1980, and have been doing hair in salons ever since. About a year ago I took some classes and started doing hair extensions in the salon. I have grown to love all of the cool, fun, truly transformative things that can be done with extensions. One of my first hair extension clients was a girl who's hair had thinned due to some medication she was taking. When she saw herself in the mirror after her install she started to cry, because she was so happy to have full beautiful hair again. She's now on her third set of extensions and just loving them. It was truly a heartwarming experience for me to be able to help her feel better about herself.
My other passions in life are yoga, tattoo collecting, cooking, wine tasting, and soul searching. I'm grateful that I stumbled upon this message board, and want to thank all of you for sharing your wisdom and knowledge in such an open friendly way.
Sorry for not posting a pic., I'm a computer retard!

I just love seeing and hearing about everyone! I must admit, we are a very handsome group, aren't we!

To Scotchyroo:

My dogs are Great Pyrenees, or in Europe I think they are called Mountain Dogs of the Pyrenees. The Hungarian Kuvasz is a cousin to the Great Pyrenees. They are big gentle babies. Alexa weighs about 135 pounds and Frazier weighs about 125 pounds. They are the loves of my life!

Yay, picture time! My name is actually Janene, but the whole Leia thing started in elementary school....I had waist-length hair that my mom made me wear in two braids everyday, so the girls thought it was fun to twist the braids up into big Princess Leia buns.

I'm 25 and have been messing with my hair since I was about 15 (Sun-In is eeeevil!). I have B.A.s in communication and music, and yet I haven't been able to get a full-time job in the 2.5 years I've been out of school. I'm also certified in radio broadcasting, and that's where I met my boyfriend, who is the music director of my old station.



That's the two of us on our first anniversary back in October (where he really needed a haircut). I live with my parents, brother, two cats, and a dog. I can't yet afford to move out, but once I get a "real" job, my bf and I will get our own place.

I also used to be in a few bands (couldn't find any good pics, though). I played keyboards in a punk band...that was fun. Here is a pic of me singing at the Alameda County Fair last summer (the hair is fake, and the outfit mostly home-made).

Hi I'm Amanda I'm 30 and I live in Nottinghamshire in the UK with my toyboy fiancee Dean (22) whom I am getting married to in Cancun in April this year. We live with our cat midnight and four rescue dogs called Kimi, Isaac, Bruno and Marcus who are all Lhasa Apsos and are all adoreably cute. I work as a full-time Legal Secretary at a small Law Firm and am a mobile extensionist evenings and weekends and I also do nails. I really love doing extensions and get great job satisfaction out of putting a smile on a client's face, that's what its all about for me. I hope to go back to work part-time and do extensions part-time also when I've had my first baby xxxxx The picture is Christmas just gone xx
