QuoteReplyTopic: Another GL disaster Posted: September 26 2007 at 1:59pm
Well it appears from all the other posts I am not the only one who mistakenly had GL put in. I just had them redone about 3 weeks ago and I have probably lost 1 1/2 bundles. I have no idea how much hair is in a bundle. They are not lasting me more than 2 months. The sad thing is I have to keep redoing them because of the terrible shape my hair is in. My main question I am hoping to get answered is what are my other options and I am also curious as to what the real cost of GL hair is per bundle? Is it $300/bundle? I ask this because I am supposably getting a deal.
Any responses are greatly appreciated...
TIA

You don't have to keep getting GL, you have options. You can get fusion from stylist who don't use extension "systems". Where do you live? Maybe someone here is near you. Fusion isn't your only option either. Look here, This has everything you ever wanted to know about extensions. And if you still have questions we'll answer them. http://talk.hairboutique.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=30346 But I tell you one thing, there's no way you should have to get a new install of fusion every two months. Are you getting them all replaced or just some bi-monthly?

That sucks. I'm sorry to hear that. I think Ms. Honey is right, you have so many other options. Also, Milehigirl is in Colorado (I'm not sure where?) but she's super nice and a wealth of information.

Do not go back, that an order. If they're not replacing them for free don't use them. The loss is excessive. There's no way you should be getting them redone every other month. How did they tell you to prep your hair for the fusion? Did the tell you "no conditioner"?
What is the condition of your hair? Why do you think you can only wear fusion?

prior to extensions, my hair was not real thick but not thin by any means. It is naturally curly so it tends to be a little dry. I have not completely taken them out in a few months so I really have no idea what shape it is in except at the nape it is only a couple inches long. There are also several other spots where it is very short. They never told me to prep my hair first. I wish I had found this site prior to extensions... Did i mention it only took her 1 1/2 hours to put 3 bundles in. Does that sound right?

It depends on how many strands are in your install. Do not feel bad. If you don't know then you don't know, right. Many of us came here in the same state.
Have you told your extensionist that you're having excessive loss? If so what did she say?

I have no idea. I think I once heard $200 but I really don't know. She needed to wash your hair first. Have you called her? Perhaps she will stand behind her work.

I did tell her that i have lost an excessive amnt. Also when I brush my hair I can cover my sink with hair that falls out. Not the actual strand but hair itself.
I have not really thrown a fit or questioned her because She says she is giving me a discount and only charging me for the hair but I really do not know because I do not know her cost for the hair. I almost feel guilty questioning her because I have known her for a very long time. What do you do in this situation?

She does not know what she's doing or you're not following instructions. Since it appears that she hasn't given you any instructions we'll have to go with the former. Stop letting her put GL in your hair. After the first time she should have sat you down to see what you were doing before reinstalling them. She didn't wash your hair or tell you not to condition it first?

Usually she does wash it first because she colors it. This last time she did not wash it. The instructions I was given the first time she put them in was to not wash for 48 hours, use antitap water when i do wash, do not wash every day and do not use products that have alcohol. I use the brush I was given, i use pureology products and when I do wash it I use the antitap water. As far as I know it is GL because it was wrapped in the GL paper.

I better clarify.. she gave me those instructions after the first set was put in. Never have I been told not to condition it prior to having new bundles put in.

Do not let her put GL in your hair ever again. Going to her is a waste of you time and certainly your money. You have to decide what you want to do next. More fusion from someone else, do the fusion yourself, or try another extension technique.
Ahhh good Ol' GL I wonder if they ever read this site, I paid 1800 for broken hair and lies. Well first off are you losing the whole strand itself of is the hair shedding? Like MS. Honey said there are alot more choices out there. I have tried a few, took a break for a few weeks now trying the skin weft method soon.
