Hello everyone! I'm glad this thread has come up as
I'm super new here, although I have been on the
Hair ezboard for a few years.
My name is Kathrin and I live just outside of
Glastonbury, Somerset in the UK. I have two lovely
boys, Theodore Vincent (4) and Dorian James (2)
and live with my husband Derrick.
I'm more of a dreads and braids sort of person, but
I've got such a lot of clients and friends who want
loose extensions that I'm finding this forum really
helpful!
I got into extensions about 5 years ago after I cut off
my natural dreads, which I'd had for 20 years. Going
from mid thigh length hair to shoulder length was a
bit of a shock and I missed my big hair so I learnt to
fake them, and I must say I'm so glad I did! I make a
nice bit of money doing my customers hair, but I
don't have time to do it full time at the moment. My
children take up most of that!
Welcome all new ladies Luz, when will you be adopting and do you know from what country? How exciting. Are you adopting a baby or toddler? I have 2 boys ages 3 and 6 and I am just over the moon with them. Being a mommy is so rewarding and my children are such a gift.
I wish we could all get together and have a Hair meeting .

I'm a newbie here and I'm older than God and it's doubtful my pic will be posted, but I never say never! I live in MA, married, working in a Boston hospital as an RN on a cardiac floor and love animals and traveling, reading, the beach, hair, and I volunteer with an animal rescue group fostering dogs. I have a very talented JRT and a cat.

soo cool! It's great to see and hear about all of you.
Metalgirl… A DONKEY!!! That is the last thing I expected to hear on this board, but very cool!!
Bridgett get your pics up!!!
Hi,
My name is Luz Minerva, Well that's my stage name soon to be legally changed. My real name is Betsy Maldonado. I'm an actress in Los Angeles.
Commercials I've booked: Chilis restaurant, ford, mattress gallery, bankruptcy action, and featured in a Honda commercial
This is my first photo with extensinons in (3 months ago) hairlocs, but now thanks to this board I'm switching to DIY shrinkies!!!
I was born in Puerto Rico and raised in Waukesha, Wisconsin (burr) but now I live in Los Angeles (4 years now). I am 33 years old and single which I hate, but finding a quality man in Los Angeles has been really difficult for me.
I am also a hairaholic, workaholic and recently (last 3 months) became addicted to those stupid romance novels, dam those perfect manly sexy men in those books.
I recently started my own production company with my business partner Charles who is a quadriplegic. We are currently wrapping up preproduction and are ready to start shooting our first reality show.
It's called Dr. Feelgood. It's not a reality show that is shame based or shallow. It is about helping people who are less fortunate around the world and humanitarian issues.
Our website is not current but I will be updating it in the next few days.You can see how we are progressing by visiting:
OKay I haven't gone. This thread predates my registration.
Anyhow, my name is Alyssa. I'm in my mid twenties (I'll never
tell!!!!!) and live in Rhode Island with my husband Gabe (30, no
problem telling that one). We've been married 4 years and
have a dog and two guinea pigs. I'm a full time student getting a
PhD in physics. No idea what I'm going to do with it anymore but
I've been at it for long enough that i"m going to finish.
Besides, it's a job and I don't want to have to hunt down a new one.
I fiddle with hair. Mine, friends, my sisters, recently the whole cast of Brown's production of Mikado...
I read (scifi, trashy romance, murder mysteries, thrillers...) and
write (trashy romance) when I have free time from work and I'm not
doing hair. Okay what else. Oh I have a General Hospital
addiction but it is in remission lately.
I'm naturally a brunette witha hint of red (moreso when I actually get
to see the light of day) but i'm crazy going gray. I've been
f@#$%n with my hair since I was 14. I go back and forth between
wanting a natural look and wanting something crazy colored and
fun. I've only been doing the extensions thing for about a year
now but I'm ridiculously confident in my hair bleaching/dying skills
for a non professional. Maybe more confident than I should be,
but I do have quite a bit of experience.
tada!

Hey all... name's Robin and I live near Atlanta, GA. I'm 35, happily married and have two cats! My hobbies are working out, home improvements, flower gardening, ridin the motorcycle with hubby, downloading music and burnin CD's, customizing my mustang, & drinking wine! We live in a neighborhood where everyone just hangs out at a different house each night getting intoxicated, throwing darts/horseshoes, watchin the Braves, eating, and being just plain goofy. Hubby is a DJ at the Oasis (nudie club) and also does radio/TV voice overs... if you watch Nascar, you have probably heard his voice! (He does the commercial for Nascar.com)
Apparently, all my pics are too large to post here so I'll try to get some that will work soon..

Hello everyone!! What a great idea Kimberly! I tried to post pictures below, for some reason though I don't think they're going to work... so we'll see after I post this... I'm 25 (today, actually!) I have an 8 yr. old, Nathan and a 3 month old, Nolan. I have my cos. license and have been dabbin' in hair for as long as I can remember. I actually just recently got my license, prior to my hair occupation I was a Loan Officer. I love this board, everyone is so great! I don't know what I would do with out you all!!
WOW! I muast say, as well, that everyone here looks just wonderful with thier extensions. My people... (wipes tear from eye)
Well, a little about me. My name is really Stefanie (my daughter's name is Hannah, and I am currently dealing with a sicko-stalker-type at work/home, so I like to have anonymous logins everywhere. I am 28, and live in Murfreesboro, TN with my 3 1/2 (going on 25) year old daughter, Hannah, and my fiancee Greg (who is her dad...long story for another board).
I work for a cell phone company full-time as a Project Coordinator (Mrs. Zeta-Jones is our spokeswhatever), but have been pursuing my Business Administration degree part-time since Fall 2003. I got my first set of extensions just 7-8 months ago, but I am addicted! I have been a beauty-fashion-makeup junkine since about, oh...5 years old when I got my first bottle of blood red nail polish for my birthday, and am the proud mother of a blossoming junkie-prodigy (every Friday night, me and the Hannah-girl have a beauty party and we paint our toenails and fingernails - It drives her dad nuts).
I don't have any recent photos of my dark brown extensions yet (they are only three weeks old and holding up nicely - Great Lengths), but will hopefully get some done soon. I also had braces on for the past year, and had them taken off only a month ago. I have no new photos of me without them either, so maybe I'll get my darling, wonderful fiancee to snap a few. I'll post soon.
You guys have such great info. Thank you for all of your help!

Whoa...Rae! You're just a pup! From all your posts I figured you were at least 30 (ancient old, I know...)! And from your website, I thought you'd spent the last 10 yrs perfecting that dread/plastic thing to a fine art! Funny how we have totally different ideas of peeps online... I'm still trying to get my ******* digital camera to work, then recruit son to take pix, then figure out how to post them....working on it. LOVE seeing all you gals and learning about your real lives! Keep 'em coming.

First off, everyone's pets and significant others are adorable!
So, hi, I'm Rae. I'm kinda new over here but I've been active over on Quinnster's boards for quite some time. I've been messing with my own hair for 5ish years now, and doing extensions professionally for about 3 years. I'm 22, and live with my boyfriend in Chicago, but we're both originally from San Francisco (*wave to other Bay Area people here*). I'm a full-time student (Columbia College, Film major, graduating in a few months if I'm lucky) and part-time extensionist. After I graduate I plan on going to cosmetology school (because hey, why not rack up more student-loan debt?) and start doing extensions full-time. In my spare time I go out dancing and drinking with my friends, sew my own clothes, study Russian and Yugoslav history, and spend waaaay too much time online. :)
Here's me and my boyfriend, Matt (sorry the picture is so big!)
That's from last May. I don't have the eyebrow piercing anymore, and my hair is usually down covering the undercut, but that's about what I usually look like. Better photo soon- I just put in my new Plastikhaar, so I'll have to show it off!
Thanks guys for doing this I love reading about all of you and to put a face to the name. I feel like you guys are part of my friendship circle - actually you understand my hair obsession more than my friends do - LOL. All of you are sooooo pretty with gorgeous hair. {{{{{{Hugs to all}}}}}}
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
