QuoteReplyTopic: American Dream Order Posted: August 11 2005 at 1:49pm
Update on AD order:
When I placed my order, it seemed to go so well, I knew if was too good to be true. They called me the next day saying there was a problem with my order. I guess they were out of a few colors that I wanted and didn't have many of my selections in the 36" length, only had the 18" and that's not long enough.
Then, even though they shipped to me before, they said I needed to fill out some authorization form for the credit card. Then I swear the girl didn't give me 2 seconds to reply to her, and she said, "ok, bye now" and hung up on me!
So I say screw these people! I have a feeling that the thermo would not stand up well over time anyway. As I reported, I have been playing around with curling it with an iron, and it curls nicely, but when you brush out or even finger rake out the curls, it turns into poofy frizz. I was not able to steam out the frizz, but I was able to dampen the hair and use a flat iron to remove most, but not all of the frizz.
I still love the plastik / pro hair. If it frizzes I can easily blow it out. It's predictable and workable. I'll stick with that.
Syren - Amm got the blonde, I got a snippet of it that I still fondle from time to time, but haven't yet installed because I'm in rehab "I will not mix human and synth I will NOT mix human and synth I WILL NOT mix human and synth".
As I recall though they didn't have nearly the color selection that they advertised? Also none of us have actually taken this hair for a long test drive. . . I think it's still in the hair vaults as opposed to on the heads of fair ladies?
But I am still searching for the synthetic holy grail. I am *so* disappointed in this RK install - I'm back to that "Garth" look (as in Wayne's World!). One World, One Party! Ahh the memories my hair brings to me each day as I struggle with it. . ."Excellent!"
I just got off the phone with AD and placed an order for 8 packages of the 36" thermofiber. I guess that's what happens when it's 2AM my time and I can't sleep... I go shopping in Europe!
Anyway, the girl was extremely pleasant and helpful on the phone. They said I should have my order in 10 working days. The last time I ordered I received it in 8 days I think.
I have an AD thermo color ring from my one and only order. I'll take and post pix tomorrow if that will help plus I'll let it go to a good home.
Just to let everyone know what happened with the original order: There were about 8 people who wanted to order. It was at least 6 different colors in 2 lengths, all silky straight wefts. AD is not set up for internet sales so all contact had to be by phone. Long story short: inconvenient (time zone diffs) and some unprofessionalism on their part made it difficult. There were several calls to me (also inconvenient-I'm either at work at 10am or asleep at 4 am) for various shipping charge issues, confirmations and other things, and the bottom line was they were OUT of 5 of the 6 colors we wanted.
Whew.
So amm and I ended up getting a couple of wefts of whatever they had plus a color ring just to see what the hair was like and if it was worth the hoop-jumping.
I think Fina ultimately got some of the blonde that came over, right?
My dark #2 is far and away the nicest synthetic - thermo or no - that I've ever seen. I have not worn it, however. Still in the bag. But it is LOVELY through 3 or 4 test washings and curlings. There are several women here that swear AD thermo is the bomb and I can absolutely see why. It's a bit pricey when you do the currency conversion and the RIDICULOUS UK-US shipping, but the hair is unsurpassed. If you're into synthetic, this is a must try.
Just be prepared for the ordering process. Be PREPARED with your order, be patient, and don't freak about the total cost. One good thing: it arrives really quickly and it's worth waiting for!

Hi y'all. . . me too!!! This human hair thing, as much as I want it to work out, is. . .kinda. . .difficult. . .SO . . . I would still love to pursue the ever-old, ever-mysterious, AD options. And YES, cybermane, they absolutely DO sell to the public. . .I guess that they have troubles/problems selling/shipping no matter *who* the buyer is!

oh yes Charlene, AD sells to the public, thats not the problem. It just seems they are so complicated to deal with, and they arent set up for online shopping. But we can do this by PM if it makes ya feel better! So Ill PM you with what I want to order
Charlene thanks for the update....I would be interested in an AD order, if you let me know when you are going to be ordering again
Whenever you and the girls are ready! I also highly recommend buying the book.
Gee, I'm worried about AD suspending my account because I'm trying to help. For Pete's sake, it was this very same forum that introduced my to that luscious hair anyway. But Sherrie, I'm so worried cause my name is PUBLIC with them and with this forum.
oh well maybe AD is finally getting there stock all in. I dont remember exactly what happened but the joint order fell through, but that was awhile ago. Id definitely be interested in trying some AD themal
But I'll take is for the same cost as AD plus shipping.
76 is more golden {I love that colour}. 613 is platinum. They got 613 and 613B- one is a little lime undertones {very pretty}. 88 is in between 76 and 613. But I'm not in the shop so this is my memory.
sherrie . i think the peole at AD are reeeely weird
itslike they dont want customers they made it diffuclt for me to get my wefts as well.and the first time i called they couldnt accept my debit card for some reason so i siad I WOULD call back the next day.......the next day they rang me like 4 times on my mobile at WORK and left answer fone messages ..i was like wtf

it never happened kirsty, AD kept putting us off, said something about not having the thermal fibers in stock, waiting for certain colors to get instock, something like that....
Geez Sherrie, that's sad to hear. After I saw the topic, I got so excited because girls, let me tell you this is far better than the human!!! But once I noticed the dates, then it hit me...
Anyway, I received my order of the thermo couple days ago. I ordered 13 colors. I wanted all bulk 20" because you get more hair and it's 2" longer than the wefts for a pound{UK} more. But instead they gave me some bulk and some wefts.
I also ordered the book by T. Bullock {IT'S A MUST!!!} It shows you how to place the extensions in various areas of the head and how to apply them in many ways. Colorful pics and everything.
I also ordered a hair sectioner, but they sent me drawing cards, which I already have, so I will return it for the correct item or for credit/ refund.
Overall, I never had to call them. I don't even have long distance. It was all done via email even getting their catalog {Thanks Syren}. They are very rapid in their response. However they do not accept paypal so they give you a form to fill out with your cc info and cvv code, etc. Mine is on file now. They also mentioned something about being afraid to sell because they have had bad experieces.
If anybody wants an order, I can help {Sh*t, I hope I don't get in trouble with AD though, my name is all over with them and with this forum }
I really love this hair over the other synthetics and the humans {I'm not into human anyway}. Thermo stays nice and shiny, feels like silk! I have an Ultratess II, prohair, and thermo in my head and the Ultratress II is frizzed out {very highlifted blonde}. The prohair is still good {dry but good} but the thermo- amazingly soft. {PS. Currently my hair is blue/black colored on top and I wear the barbie blonde hilites.}
PS. I have an extra color ring if anybody needs it. I bought it from another company who sells the hair for 50% more than AD. I think the color ring on the AD book is old.
