QuoteReplyTopic: Best thing since Amm's razor Posted: June 07 2006 at 6:11pm
First of all can I apologise to Elvira of www.beaucouphair.com for kindly sending me one of these irons to report on and me taking so long. Secondly can I say just how brilliant I think it is!
I received it and thought now this looks interesting. When I picked it up I thought how comfortable a tool it felt but I was still dubious about the apparent shrinkage time of shrinkies. (I assumed they would just heat too quick and split).
I heated the badboy up in record time and tested it not last Saturday but the Saturday before. I couldn't believe how quick I got used to the tool and managed to do two half heads and a full head in 7 hours. I had one client after another so didn't really have time to evaluate but when I'd done I looked at the clock and couldn't believe it. Instead of an average 15 seconds the shrinkies instead shrank at around 6 second and without splitting. Truely unbelievable. I would highly recommend anyone who is serious about shrinkies or even fusion as it worked with them to give this tool a whirl. xx 20/10 he he

Actually, they shrink down in three seconds, I'm not sure which shrinkies Amanda used with this iron, but with the "generic" shrinkies that I use, it only takes three seconds to form a nice tight bond.
Mark Barrington shrink links shrink down in 6 seconds with just a regular fusion iron.
But I guess this iron is a good idea of you are using the 'generic' shrinkies.
Every shrinkie I've tried from over a half dozen vendors shrink down in 6 seconds or less. Some irons do a better job than others and even MB's links perform like the (cough) "generic" ones with an iron notorious for uneven heat and temp (Chaoba, to name one).
I've read VERY good reviews on beaucouphair's iron on heat consistency and comfort, so what's with this comment anyway? This was a product rave post and your participation comes across catty and "nyah nyah."
While I'm here, can I suggest something? The next time someone asks where they can purchase hair or a product, can you not say "this is what I use but it's only sold to licensed people with accounts." Really, metal, how does that help the DIY who needs or wants the product?
Thanks, Amm! It can be discouraging for us DIYers, especially when we're newbies, to hear a great recommendation and go to the site ready to buy, only to hear that we're not qualified to own the product. I understand licensed cosmetologists and the companies that sell to them having a proprietary relationship, but the attitude that goes along with it drives me nuts !!!
You know what, I've very proud of all the hard work and time I've put into learning to be a professional in my craft. It's not to say that there aren't any DIYers that that can be a good job too.
If you want the full priveledges of being able to buy 'professional' products than get a license and stop whining about not having full access to stuff. Yeah, it may be unfair, but that's just how some companies want to maintain control of their products. I didn't make the rules.
So do I have an attitude? I guess if you want to call self-confidence and personal pride an attitude, than I guess I'm guilty. I am proud of all my work and accomplishments, and I don't really care about what other people think of me, including some members of this board.
Hey, over these two or so years I've shared good advice, so if my pride in being a professional upsets you, I guess that's just too bad for you.

If you think that the above comment you made sounds confident because you are a professional, you better read again. You really sound very immature and troubled and jealous. You must really have a grudge against Elvaira, and obviously you don't like Amm either by your comments. You are very passive aggressive with your little digs about using generic shrinkies. What does you giving good advice before have to do with anything anyway? you sound like your just 'mad'. at what who no's but get over yourself. Your a hairdresser for goodness sakes. I think everyone knows by know who the 'real ones' are. Of course people value your work. You do a great job. I'd even let you do my hair if you lost the attitude.
I don't think anyone was whining about buying not being able to buy from professionals. Mabbey they just had enough of listening to you.
If you don't think that there is anything wrong with your comments, I feel really bad for you. Although everyone is entitled to therown opionin, and this is a forum, you just sound blantantly mean. You keep talking about mark barrington. It must really make you mad others are selling 'his' products. I wonder if the guy who invented shrink tubing is mad at Mark barrington for stealing his tubing and profiting from it another way? Google that why don't cha

Honestly that comment is quite silly in reality.....think about it
would you LYAO if someone told you you should go get a medical degree to treat a simple health ailment at home? When there are tons of various prescrip. strength products available over the counter. Really.... doing ones own hair is not rocket science or medicine!
