Hey everyone!
 
I am looking into getting new hair for an install shortly and was looking for an opinion.
 
I currently am using JetSet hair, which i LOVE!  I have also heard good things about Bohyme hair, which I have never tried.
 
Has anyone tried both and what one do you think is better quality?

I have both, although i have not put the JetSet in as of yet.

Side by side, the Bohyme body wave and JetSet natural wave, both on slim weft, are practically identical after washing (the hair, not the weft; those are slightly different). Both dry straight. Hair texture identical.

I took pictures this weekend but for some reason they turned out badly - I'll try again tonight so you can see how close they are.

Have not worn JetSet yet, but have worn Bohyme and it is just as reported - stays beautiful for months, even under my tortuous conditions. I've always liked Bohyme alot, but am always chasing the elusive "perfect hair" and trying everything that comes along.

I have been disappointed with Jet Set  with my last two orders from them.  The first order I wanted 2 ounces of 12" natural wave #4 and two ounces of  12"natural wave #4/33.  They charged me for that, but I received #4 natural wave in 14" and #4/33 in TEXURED STRAIGHT 10"!
 
Now, 10" is just too short, and Textured straight will not mix with the natural body.  The client wanted a wavy look, and besides, I think the textured straight is a yaki texture.
 
I emailed them and they were  be willing to exchange the hair, but there was no time to send it back and receive the proper hair back in time for the clients appointment.  I was mad.
 
Now this last order, I wanted 4 ounces of 14" hair.   The weft looked short to me, so I measured it, and it only measures between 12"-13", definitely not 14". 
 
I'm losing faith in Jet Set.

I have just ordered for the second time from Jetset and let me tell you that their customer service is terrible, I ended up sending them (after numerous attempts) a nasty email asking to contact the manager and they ignored me completely..I required my order on a next day and after 12 hours had gone by they sent me another email stating the hair (they previously said they shipped) was not in stock, even after they confirmed and apologized...
 
After we finally came to a decision on re-ording another colour, they said they would ship and I left work for the day, the next morning when I was expecting my shipping they sent me an email saying my credit card was not approved.  I immediately called my bank as I knew it was impossible and my bank confirmed that no transaction was even attempted the previous day.  I immediatly sent an email to Jetset providing them with this information and asking what was going on and they responded later saying they called the Visa centre and it was declined..
 
Anyway, I was so upset and sent them another reply telling them it was impossible and again hours later they responded with "sorry but etc." I am not impressed what-so-ever.....

Hey everyone, thanks for all the replys!
 
WOW-I am really shocked with JetSet!  I have only ordered from them once, and then I thought the customer service center was slacking, months back.  The hair is fabulous on the other hand.  They too took ages to email me back.  After I placed my order the next day I received an email saying the address is unrecognizable by UPS, which is ridiculous b/c it was my work address and we get UPS packs daily.
 
Sherrie, let us know how things turn out between you and them.  If I choose their hair again, I am alittle leary of dealing with them now.......

Geeeez...just when I thought I'd try the Jet Set hair too!     Why is it some of these companies can't get it together? I need fine, soft hair for my next pinchbraid install! Maybe I would like Bohyme? Does anyone know the true country of orgin of the Bohyme? Indian hair is just so heavy for my hair....Chinese is too thick with no body. Does the Bohyme have a little body to it? I can't do the stick straight look. Good grief-- someone find me an unsuspecting Russian girl I can knock out and then rob her hair! That would be PERFECT!

Msfitns72, JetSet in my opinion, has GREAT Hair, but their customer service anymore is just really slacking.  One of my thoughts  is that they had more success then they imagined and maybe just don't have the hands to manage it all and keep it in order as well as keeping customers happy.
 
I understand companines can have a slip up here or there but this seems pretty consistent with them.  In the next couple weeks I will be needing to place an order for my next install and I really don't want to rule out jetset's hair b/c it is so nice.  I figure if I do order it (for my vacation) I will have to order it way in advance so there is time to fix any slip ups.  If I do order, I will let everyone know how it pans out.
 
As for Bohyme, I have never tried it either, but everyone seems to say positive things about it.  I am not sure of its orgin either, Amanda would probably be able to tell you as she deals with it  a lot.
 
Well, goodluck hopefully we can all find some good hair and dependable companies!!

Bohyme is a good quality hair.
 
I'll probably go back to ordering from Super Hair Factory or Ebonyline.  At least  you can talk to a real live person on the phone.
 
I order a lot of hair for clients and I can't afford to have the order be incorrect or take too long to arrive.
 
 I was never happy with Jet Set's color 613 anyway!Ouch

Seems like customer service has slipped since the last time I ordered from them, before the price cut.  I hope that they can get it together soon, their customer service was top notch before then.

Oh just GREAT, ugh.  I placed a large order with them last night that I need by tomorrow.  Damnit, if I would have known this I would have stuck with the bohyme that I have been ordering from superhairfactory.com and their customer service is top notch!

Does the nightmare include them not getting your priority overnight orders to you the next day?

LongHairAddict,
About a month ago I ordered from them for the first time.  I selected the 2nd day UPS option.
Low and behold, the next morning when I got to work and checked my email there was one from them stating that the address I provided was undeliverable by UPS.  I immediately sent them one back and told them that that was absolutely wrong b/c my work has UPS deliver them packs to this address daily.  I also told them that I needed that order by the time I orginally specified.
Towards the end of the day I got an email back from them saying that for this one time they would ship out overnight since there was a slip up with the address.
So, in turn I DID receive my hair on time.

Bohyme has better blending on their colors, imo. The 10/16 I wore lost its shine before I even washed it. At the 3 day mark, curling iron use had stripped away the coating. Even in the sun the hair was matte. It also bunched and rode up on me.

I'm not overjoyed with my bodywave jetset either. There were a few issues but right out of the bag my impression was that the hair was very gold.

In the photo, I've folded the ends up to show the difference. The ends are overprocessed and grabbed color during the dye process. The ends do not match the top or center of the weft. Also, the weft is very blonde and doesn't match the overall color of the hair.

The hair is wearable ... I'll have to do a little work on the color, though, and then see how it stands up to wear.

I am still going through a hard time with them, if its not the excuse that my credit card didn't get approved (which is a lie), then the excuse that the hair I ordered was out of stock, then regarding my overnight shipment that was suppose to be guaranteed by noon today still have not arrived and its almost 4:00 so its 4  hours late for an install...now although i don't run my salon anymore, if this were the case, I would have some pretty upset clients right now at my expense..so overnight didn't even happen...this has been 3 days that I have been trying to order this hair and its still not here..sorry for sounding so bitter but customer service is very important and they for sure lack in that department.., its appears they constantly use the same excuses to delay orders and that is not good business to me...Just my 2 cents!!!

Trinity, I am really sorry to hear about your whole hair deal with them.  Maybe someone needs to send them a copy of this forum so they can see the reputation their cusomer service is bringing upon them. 

It's a real shame b/c their hair (at least what I got) was very nice.
 
Amm, thanks for the pic!  I see what you mean about the color difference!  And the weft is a completely different color then the hair! 
 
Hopefully they get their act together.............

Even if I sent them a copy of this, I don't think they would care...maybe because their prices have gone down, they feel they are not making as much money..its a shame because although they can't get the hair colour together, the hair is quite nice..
 
I finally got my order last Friday and did an install on Saturday (8 ounces) and it installed beautifully (body) however the colour was a little on the orange side (14/22) and when it arrived I was shocked at the orange tinge so I had to completely re-dye my whole head before application...
 
I went through so much to get the hair here that I re-dyed my whole head to match the colour!!! Just wanted to keep you posted..I do not think I will use them again and its a shame cause the hair quality is nice, I am happy i ordered 16 oz which should keep me for a while!!!
