QuoteReplyTopic: Hair Extensions in Northern Virginia Posted: August 04 2005 at 1:39pm
Hi Everyone!I’m new to the HairTalk Message Board.I recently moved to the Northern Virginia area (Ashburn, VA) and I have been trying to find someone who does quality hair extensions in the area.
I finally found a salon in my area that offered both Great Lengths & So. Cap.Long story short, I walked out after finding it was going to cost almost $1500 for So. Cap & $1800 for Great Lengths--WAY too much for me!
I’ve been doing research and have heard some bad stories about GL extensions.I used to have extensions (woven track method) back in 1994 & again in 1998; however, it was too bulky for me.I want the strand-by-strand method this time around, but have been really hard-pressed finding someone in my area (or just anywhere in the northern VA area) that does them.If anyone knows of someone, I would greatly appreciate it!
Kristin
PS:Thanks for all of the great information everyone has contributed on this message board—I can find answers to almost any question I had.

I am in Northern Virginia. I'm not a cosmetologist, but I have been doing my own strand by strand for over a year. A good friend of mine is a hair stylist and does extensions (for only $800) but believe it or not, his salon manager offered to give me free hair coloring anytime I want it if I would teach them how I do MY extensions. If you want, email me at dreamwave00@aol.com (the 00's are zeroes) and I can give you my friend's contact info at the salon, or I can do them for you.

Thank you so much for responding! I had actually done a search on this message board for people in the Northern VA area and came across your name. I shot you an e-mail the other day; however, I probably goofed on the address?!?! I'll resend to you!
From what I have read on past posts, you really seem to know your stuff and I would be very happy to speak with you & discuss the methods you currently do; the type of extensions I was used to back in the 90's (picture Tawny Kitaen circa WHITESNAKE videos--yes, I was born & raised in NJ & loved my big hair) are MUCH different than what I am looking to have done this time.
Anyway, I'll drop you a line with my contact details. Thanks again for your help--you have no idea how extremely frustrating it is that there are little-to-no resources for this type of work down here!!!! You just made my day!
