Extensions Plus

i LOVE ep hair- i currently have their custom wefts in my head- two that are georgous and thick hand tied- two colors blonde 613 and 22 which is a warmer blonde.

i have used their micro thin wefts- called softwear, they are on the thinner side so doubling is a must.

their italian has a nice curl to it when u dry it with a dyfuser or let air dry

their ez plugs softwear hair, individual strands are very nice, no shedding nice firm tips , more costly them other places but i do really like them.

i am a professional and i really like using either the ep or the hairlocs hair for my clients

Thanks for the replies ladies!

I have another question for you guys...what's the difference between the machine and hand tied weft?

I've decided on the italian thin weft...but I don't know what the difference would be between the hand and machine.

I know the original post was posted months ago, but I am new here and wanted to give my "shout out" for Extensions Plus hair anyway.. I am a reformed BSS hair wearer.. I will never wear BSS hair again. I bought my EP hair over THREE YEARS ago.. (you are reading this right I have been wearing this hair for THREE years!!!) and it STILL looks good.. This hair has barely shed, and has NEVER tangled. When it's time to re-do my weave, my beautician takes the weave down, washes the EP hair, and re-installs it. (Obviously I haven't changed my hair style much..  I had purchased enough hair that we changed the cut once in the two years.. However, I'm sort of a simple girl when it comes to hairstyles..)

The ladies at EP are fantastic. Because I live in the LA area I went to their store. They took a sample of my own hair to ensure that the color and texture matched my own relaxed hair. I opted for ordering custom blended machine wefts to achieve this. The hair I have is  a blend of two different hair textures and colors to achieve the look of highlighted relaxed hair. It matches my own relaxed hair texture and color PERFECTLY. Once installed, it looks like I had highlighted my own natural hair.

Weaves cost too much to deal with cheap hair that tangles when you just LOOK at it.. With the BSS hair I used to buy, I hated having constantly to brush my hair to ensure it didn't mat in the back. Not to mention the hair sheds when you simply run your fingers through your hair! I will never go back to BSS hair..

That said I do need to say what those of us who have purchased hair from EP already know.. This hair ain't easy on the wallet.. (average cost is $35 - $60 per oz) Is it worth the cost? Well the fact that I've gotten two years (and counting) worth of wear out of this hair speaks volumes.. That said I will continue to buy from EP (I just ordered a closure from them today), BUT I do admit that lately I have been looking into other possible sources of high quality, long lasting, remy hair that might be a little easier on my wallet..

I am still doing my research. After wearing what I think is easily the BEST hair available (Extensions Plus), I will not accept any less than quality hair (even if the price is cheaper). Otherwise I could just hit my local BSS (or His & Hers) for high quality non-remy hair..

So far in my research, I have only found TWO of the MANY hair distributors out there who I would consider "investing" my money on hair with. Why?? Well to begin there are so many of these so called remy hair distributors turning up everyday all over the internet.. IMO, many of them are just fly by night "bookie" joints. (home businesses that are ill prepared to handle basic customer service needs, or flat out rip offs) Here's the red flags for me that I look at as I have looked at these MANY hair businesses.. 

1. E-mail only contact
2. Customer service reps who OBVIOUSLY do not know ANYTHING about human hair products. (including one guy who actually told me that there was NO SUCH thing as Russian or Indian hair, and that Remy (or cuticle aligned) hair was a gimmick used by companies to sell hair!)
3. Ridiculously LONG fulfillment periods (Some of these places have a reputation for having quality product, but they also have a reputation for it taking forever to get the product to you)
4. Hair with nits(!!!)  (can you say ewwww!) (I won't blast the dealers I have heard that have this issue.. but again ewwwww)

EP has a reputation for quality product, real people (WHO KNOW HUMAN HAIR PRODUCTS) to answer your questions, and most importantly.. NO NITS IN THE HAIR!!!! (again.. can you say ewwwwwww!) 

If I shop from anyone other than EP for hair I am looking for three things.

1. Real, knowledgeable people to answer questions
2. Quality customer service (fair exchange policies, responsive customer service)
3. Quality product (tangle free, LOW shedding, long lasting, and no nasty nit shells)
4. Fair pricing

Until then Extensions Plus has a customer for life!

You may have misunderstood me.. I have no beef with home based businesses. What I do have issues with is the many "home businesses that are ill prepared to handle basic customer service needs". I named no names because I didn't want to put anyone on blast. It's one thing to buy something from someone and report a bad experience with that merchant.. It's another to put someone on blast because you think they are less than honorable in their business practices. Like I said, all I expect from anyone I do business with is the following:

1. Real, knowledgeable people to answer questions
2. Quality customer service (fair exchange policies, responsive customer service)
3. Quality product (tangle free, LOW shedding, long lasting, and no nasty nit shells)
4. Fair pricing
5. and yes you are right.. Reliable word of mouth testimony (that is after all how I found out about EP)

At least three of the EP alternates I have been considering are home based businesses.. I judged all of these businesses not on whether or not they were a home based or brick & mortar type of business,  but whether or not they all met my criteria/standards for a company I considered worthy of doing business with.

I've checked out the Elite Remy hair, and the hair does look gorgeous.. They happen to be one of the EP alternates I had been looking at already. (the other site you mentioned was does not have wefted hair, so I hadn't looked at their product) I would like to  recommend that you check out http://www.remyhairtoday.com. I only have one beef with Remy Hair Today...  I wish there was a way to mute the music on their website without having to turn off my computer speakers!!!

hi phil

do you get blonde hair 18 inches?

 

Hi Phil,

Were you aware that your "fusion specialist" that works with you was recently banned from this site for her outrageous behavior?  Her name is "Valencia"...FYI....

Thanks Malibu! 

I am still working on my "online store" and prices, textures, colors etc. for hair will be up very soon!

Well, it didn't take long for Valencia to show off her arrogant, self-aggrandizing mentality.

Give it time, you'll see for yourself. I guarantee

ep is no longer carrying their stock wefts- however amm at shrinkies.net is
