kirty- this is what a weave looks like...

I have held some of the hair up on top so you can see the weave underneath the clients hair.

Yeah the client says it was itchy too.  I think she used a tail comb alot (lol)

Its a weave, first you do a couple of rows of conrows with filler hair then sew a weft of HH onto that row. It kind of hangs on your hair when its growing out, personally i dont like them but they are a good option for some.

 

with standard HH the going rate in Scotland for a weave is generally under £200.  If you buy some bohyme or another hair that you like then most places will just charge you for install.  Which area do you stay and i'll see if i know someone near you who does them?

i stay in edinburgh

ye at tollcross?.. if its that place... it closed down !

there is another african salon called silky touch i emailed them but they didnt write back

In Edinburght ive tried Roots in Leith, Short and Curlys and a lady in the Edinburgh yellow pages (cant remember the area offhand) and i wasn't impressed with any of them. 

Short & Curly's ripped me off and messed up my hair with fusion

Roots were so so.  The lady was extremly nice but it took her from 10am - about 10pm (no joke) to do fusion in my hair (with constant interuptions) One namely was that she didnt have a baby sitter and had 2 young kids under 5 running around in the salon when it was just me and her.  Also her glue gun ran out of glue and she started using latex to finnish the bonds and when her hubbie came in and questioned her he told her the gun just needed re-filled!???

And the other lady (who id remember if i saw her add again) also didnt do it right.

I think you should ask for before and after photos of their work before you decide chick.  This was just my experience and bearing in mind it was with fusion and not weaves.

good luck

i might go down leith its near where i work and check out the prices for weaves. i want to have boihyme so i thik ill just by it myseld it will be cheper and jsut pay for the install. how much did the one in leith charge u for ur fusion? were they more reasonble than short n curly/

sshockin pink - do u no the name of the place next to the meadows? ..is it on the meadows? is it near south clerk street?..

short and curly's charged me £300 for fusion with standard HH that only costs £20. (shocking or what!) Plus they done huge bonds in my hair and everyone that seee the extensions told me that they werent as nice as what i normally had them.  If it wasnt for them taking out all my previous extensions in the salon before giving me a price on installing there's then i wouldnt have got it done.  Sneeky really.

Roots charged me £140 for fusion when i supplied my own hair.

hey im going to get my hair braided at that place yu suggested ebony ivory. them seem really nice
