bad hair extensions

ooh sorry nicey didnt mean to offend you, but when youve been in this business as long as i have and have had to put right so many extensions disasters, (including professional salon mess ups) you then realise just how many bad extensionists there are and theres a lot who have had no interest in hairdressing beforehand and just decide to do it cos its a good money making scheme so they do a few private courses and off they go. most of the highly reputable extensions courses are only available to salons because of this. some people have a natural skill and flair for it i dont dispute and it comes very easy to them after a couple of courses, and they`ll probably do a top class job! but like i say the ones in it for the money( IE the girl who is the subject of this posts topic) are usually the bad ones as its not making their client look and feel terrific after doing a job with pride that fuels them on but just the hard dirty cash!! ladies am i wrong?????

I assure you there is no snobbery with Leanne, she has pink and purple hair for god's sake lol plus she doesn't work in a salon he he xx

lol I love your cow, where did you get it from lol its ace x

I really don't understand folk who don't get insurance, I mean it only costs me under £100 a year for insurance and that insures me for one million, who's going to if they were to, sue me for more than that lol x

That's really selfish, you could have split the money and we could have had a porsche each lol x

hiya leelou...you didnt offend me at all i was just saying that not all of us that are new to extensions are as bad as the lady in the advert..i totally agree with you about the courses being so easy to take and if the courses that people take are anything like the first one i did then god help us! thats why i took another one and i have been practicing none stop for about 10 months not along time i agree but i am confident with my work now and have just started to charge people for doing it as when i was practicing i only charged for the hair etc..

As the story goes there is two sides to every story and I dont think that we all know the full story of this particular and might never get to know it.

blimey nicey is it really that long since you started doing extensions?it only seems 2 mins ago! then again i cant believe mands has had her 1st wedding anniversary already!!i thought you`d only done your training a few months ago!ooh then again ive been using bohyme for 12months and have had my own hair extended with it all that time too and it was when i had my second lot of colours in my hair that i met you in town so it could have been anytime between aug and nov last year, cos i liked them so much i had them reinstalled 2 or 3 times lol!! ive got a bit of a goldfish memory too and have to write anything down i need to remember lol!! ooh and yeah plan being plotted!! im gonna pop to amandas next week and meet her as shes going to amandas to have hair extensions fitted so ill keep ya posted!! take care chick xx

Oh Yes Im intrigued to hear the outcome! I love a good "get revenge on the cowboy" story! Im Lucy new to the forum I have been doing extensions for about 12 years now and am fed up with having to sort out other peoples mess! there are too many out there willing to do a bodge job at a cheap price but they are never around to fix the problem afterwards! us brits are too polite though and never like to complain!!

I know a girl also trained by connect2hair they all have one thing in common they are taught to apply extensions bond on bond ie. all together in a block rather than in rows there seems to be no structure to the application just randomly shoving them in! As for enormous bonds like that i think thats just pure laziness and sloppy work and obvious over loading of sections, she is lucky to have any hair left!! hope she at least gets her money back. grrrr
