Extendmagic removal...help!

May it rest in peace!

This is an informational board and I'm sad to see this thread is still going on. No question is a dumb question. I've used the same fusion on my clients for over a year and no 'take out' is  ever the same. Sometimes I can get out a full head of extensions in 1 hour and sometimes it takes me 4 hours. That's quite a difference in time considering that both clients did not have matteing or knotting. It seems that certain products used at home can change or alter the texture of bonds and make them harder to get off (in my opinion). I'd love to know a different product to get those 4 hour jobs done quicker and that does not mean I don't know what I'm doing. It's a fact that not all 'take outs' are the same and Aphrodite may have just run into one of those longer 'take outs'. She trusts us here on the board and asked for our advice.

Something to think about: I've heard that all Shrinkies come out with oil- well what about the often poster who says they have a couple pesky bonds that won't budge. They took out the majority of the bonds out with oil and practiced with no problems but now some of them have just become stuck. We advise them to try a second way to remove them using acetone- we don't tell them they are unskilled.

There are certain removers that work better for certain people and I love knowing what works for each and every one of you so I can better my knowledge. I use acetone to take out my shrinkies but I know many of you use oil. There's not one correct way- it's whatever works for you. Aphrodite was just asking if anyone knew a second option. I would have chimed in a while back but I've never used EM and I wasn't qualified to awnser the question at hand.

As for spelling and grammar- this is a casual board so who cares if there are some misspelled words. I have a 4 year degree from a Cal State Univ but I'm sure you can find tons of gramatical mistakes in my posts. This board is not my life-it's a hobbie. I jump on here, answer what I can quickly , and I get on with my life. Obviously my major was not English  

I hope this does not deter you from posting on the board Aphrodite. Boards like this are what every extension stylist should be reading to further their knowledge of extensions.

Tangles and Aphrodite have agreed to let this thread die so let's let that happen 

Just a tidbit of Info....Ive researched Ohios laws...and here is the jist of the Natural stylist license necessary in Ohio...NOT a cosmotology license...this is a brief overview of the State bill. Its 450 hours in Ohio for a natural stylist license....compared to 1500 for a cosmotology license. I have YET to find ANYWHERE in the bill that excludes cutting of the extension hair.....still searching!

The bill creates the State Board of Natural Hair Styling to license natural hair stylists, natural hair styling salons, and schools of natural hair styling. For purposes of the Natural Hair Stylists Law, the "practice of natural hair styling" is defined as work done for a fee or other form of compensation by any person utilizing techniques performed by hand that result in tension on hair roots, such as twisting, wrapping, weaving, extending, locking, or braiding of the hair, and which does not include the application of dyes, reactive chemicals, or other preparations to alter the color or to straighten, curl, or alter the structure of the hair. A "natural hair stylist" is defined as any person who for a fee or other form of compensation engages in the practice of natural hair styling

i am sorry if asking this question to aphrodite mader her think i was assuming anything, as i stated i was just trying to understand why she didnt FIRST practice before hand. IF that offended you Aphrodite- as i stated in my post, i WAS NOT trying to hurt you, and you know what it did, so for that, I apologize. That was not my intention AT ALL.

whether she charged or not is not my concern.

Yes maybe its not heart surgery, however, i have had so many clients come to me from someone elses chair with disasters beyond repair. That to them is very painful. And that was and is my concern for anyone espicially working in a Salon, doing extensions without compeltly knowing how to remove them.

Regarding liscensing in each state- Aphrodite- told me to research before i make a statement, and that is exactly what i in the process of doing, it has nothing to do with her statements about my spelling and grammer. She apologized for that and i have forgiven her.

As it was stated by both Aphrodite and myself, WE are moving on.

 

I wasn't putting anyone down, only stating the facts. I said her questions were asinine, not stupid because someone who is a so called professional and charging money for hair extension services should not be asking such basic questions that demonstrate lack of knowledge that will put client's hair in jeopardy of being ruined.

i am glad to hear u are moving on, i am too-

i am taking your advice and i am researching laws in each state, i will post my findings.

your apology is heard, thank you-

however

your grasping at my spelling now huh-

 IF you were simply pointing out your leagal requirements for your state-(which by the way i have three friends who do own salons in Washington) then why would my spelling become an issue for YOU?

lets see, i work my ass off all day, i come on here to share and help and yeah, i dont do spell check or grammer check cause frankly i dont really care about that on this board, what i do care about are clients hair, peoples hair and my passion is being honest and forthright with my work, knowledge and expertise.

i come on here to help and gain insights and that to me is what is important on this board not if i hit spell check. i dont have time for your imature, rude behavior. please refraine from responding to me any further.

 

Oh dear.....

Aphrodite honey, they are not trying to be mean or slander your reputation....:) theye maby misread the post...But then you also maby missenturpetated what they said .

And you wrote your angry comments back. I understand that you can feel a bit hurt or upsett if you dont try to se it from others view...:) Tangles is rigth that it is Important to know exactly what you doing.

And i understand your curiosity about different removal methods...But maby you should have formulatet the initial question in an other way?

Your also uneccesary mean to the girls here and writes kinda childish remarks...Calm down girl 

Anyways i hope you girls can settle up<3 , and im glad to hear that you clients are happy:)

Oh, maybe it is just the lingering effects of the full moon.

 

CAN'T WE ALL JUST GET ALONG????

Agree to dis-agree, and lets talk about some hair stuff!!!

 

 

I vote to end this craziness and back-and-forth... 

Lisa, Tangles, if there is something you feel you need to communicate with me personally about, please do so by personal message so as not to waste the board members' time.  I will do the same.  

Although I do feel strongly about professionalism in communication, including spelling and grammar, Tangles, I owe you an apology.  I am sorry for those comments, they were unneccessary.  I intended to simply correct your misperception about legal requirements here in my state.  I do not want others to mistakenly believe things you said about those requirements that simply are not correct.

I am moving on...I will report back about my removal today!
