I've not done a lot of fusion to be honest but it usually takes me around ten minutes with shrinkies to do the section that I did and it took me 9 cos my hubby timed me x Its just grab your strand and press and roll, its sooo easy, I would recommend everyone to get these, I think I would even feel confident doing the back of my own head with this machine, I think I'd pre-bond first and then use the machine though on myself x Thanks so much Darren  xxx

Amanda , Is Darren the person you purchased from. How much are they? I emailed fast beauty and I was quoted $600 and $35 per cartridge. Is that a decent price?

ETA: Those bonds look terrific!

Those bonds look awesome. Is that the machine on the right hand
side of the photo laying on the table?

So, it's about $600, $25-$35 a cartridge and how many strands will a
cartridge do? It won't do synthetic hair at all? Does it generate a lot
of noise? What kind of glue is used and is acetone used for removal?
If you need to redo a strand for whatever reason, how easy is it to
remove the bond right after it's installed?

Inquiring heads want to know.

Right here goes he he.  Koffee, yes that's about what I paid so I'd snap that price up as quick as you can because Darren is going to a hair show soon with these machines and the price will be about $1100 after that.

Char - lol, I'm already thinking of finding a bald guinea pig, I can't wait to try that, imagine how happy someone is going to be.  What are reusables by the way?

Amm - You neeeeeeed one of these machines, its something you would absolutely love.  I can get one off Darren for you if you want and send it to you.  Yes that's the machine on the right hand side.  A cartridge will do around 300 small strands.  It does human and synthetic hair but you have to be careful you don't hold it down too long on the synthetic, that will cause the tape to overheat and snap that's all.  There is absolutely no noise at all.  The glue used is a guarded secret and we're not allowed to know that.  You use acetone or oil for removal.  I'd just use oil because there is hardly any residue left on the hair, even less than with shrinkie removal.  You won't be able to get your breath how they look exactly like fusion but tinier and come straight out with such ease its unbelievable.  I can't tell you how easy removal is.  I put one in, removed it and when I removed it, you didn't lose the hair like with fusion, you ended up with a prebonded strand so the hair is totally reusable.  You just press the tape button off and use the machine to reinstall it, then I took that back off and there was still only a tiny bit of residue on and the strand came straight back off prebonded yet again, fab!  And then I put it back on with the pen that's usually used for the micro-strands!  If the bond wasn't quite right but it had enough glue on, say a couple of hairs hadn't fused in then all I did was turn off the tape button and reheat and roll with the machine.

Has anyone tried this on AA hair?

I think I need one.  Amanda do you think you would be able to use it on yourself?

Hey chick! The reusables are, ya know, like the locs, the tubes, any metals.

I want to add this- Making strands that look like 'COMBED HAIR' - align the strands together extension and client's hair, separate the extension, pull the trigger to close, using intervals of 3 secs- move strands left and right, slowly pull down- VOILA!  It really looks like each single strand of your client's hair is 'growing real hair' without balls of glue!  I love it!  I can't say enough good things about it!

I would only use olive oil instead of acetone to remove them.  You can also remove the tape cartridge and use the heat of the machine.

-Char

 Amanda, One more thing, are you getting a special deal from Darren? I noticed you offered to purchase for someone and I was wondering if there was a discount from ordering thru you? TIA

Laura - I don't know what AA hair is, sorry to be dumb.  I will definitely be able to use it on myself.

Char - I don't get the process you are describing, what do you mean separate the extension hair?  What do you mean move strands left and right and slowly pull down, do you mean pull down the hair strand with the machine closed for the three seconds and then open?  Do you not use the pen for balding then and prebond x

Koffee - Yes Darren is part of Fast Beauty, there is a cartridge inside the machine but I also bought a box of five.  I asked Darren for you and he confirms its $600 for the machine, $30 per cartridge and then $31 for posting, he says he can get it to you in 7 days if you're in America.  The colour is clear.  Deal with Darren direct, there's no discount ordering through me chick xx

Separate like you fan it out.  I haven't used the pen it.  I never prebond.  I bought this machine so I can do faster extensions.  Prebonding would be using those prebonded strands and I've got lots of those laying around anyway. You then kind of wiggle it while you have the machine closed.  Gosh it's harder to explain in words.  But that's how Myun taught me.

xoxox, Char

thanks Amanda (one of my fav names, BTW). How hard would it be to use it on yourself in the back of the head?

And to answer for Laura, AA means African American hair. I asked 'darren' and he said A-A women have ordered the machine  and it can be used on AA hair.

ETA: Amanda, your unit doesnt  look like the unit in the pix on website?

According to Darren at FBeauty, they can be used on AA hair, so i'm trusting him.

Mine just has a black cover on instead of a blue one.  I've used shrinkies on AA hair with success and I wouldn't see any reason at all why this machine couldn't also be used on AA hair, it gives a really strong but flexible bond and Darren certainly knows his stuff so I'd trust what he says too.

I think this would be so easy to do the back of your head, I'm going to pre-bond first and then use the machine to install them at the back of my head.  I'm doing my first EM client tomorrow so I'll post pictures of before during and after x
