Check this site out they are located in California. However, their prices are reallysteep; however, if the quality is great then I think it's a great investment.

I used a company called cariba group, the hair is RAW russian so you will have to cut and draw it yourself to remove any short hairs, you order a kilo and it comes in assortment of colours darks, mids, reds and blonds but as its completely natural hair you wont recieve the very light blonds and you cant request what colours you want, i havent been able to order any more of the long lengths since he is out of stock and never seems to have the exclusive but what i did get i was happy with i would recommend ordering the next length up from what you need to allow for cutting etc, check it out and see what you think its www.raweuropeanhair.com dont be suprised if you have to wait a few days for response either!

I just bought two hand tied wefts from this company, 18" and 20" very spendy but the the hair is beautiful !!! it's never been colored and I got a perfect match first time out of the gate!!! how lucky is that!!!!
there customer service is amazing. I have always been able to get a hold of someone and they send the hair out in a couple of days from ordering. I just ordered some extension plus hair and this hair blows that away. and I ordered European which is the "best they sell" I haven't yet put it in but I'm soooo excited. I will for the first time use protac and do it myself. thanks to this board!!! I tried a sample piece yesterday just stuck it in my head and it's still there and I even washed it this morning. (I know I did everything wrong for long use of it) but when I put the new hair in I will do all that is advised.
Thank you ladies so much I love all the knowledge you share

Hello Ladies,
As we know you can't buy Rolls Roys at the price of Volkswagen. If one wants real Russian hair that one gots to pay. The availability of Russian hair is a fraction of the demand. That's why the price goes up monthly. Only Posh buys tons per month. But the price will stop at some point for sure.
And yeah, I've seeing them samples all from those who claims to sell Virgin Russian hair and was laughing my stomac off. What it is is a chemically processed Indian hair (stripped cuticle) to make it look like European. The only problem is when you wash it 4 times it becomes to look like a broom, worse than Indian hair in the Virgin state. I am Russian myself and believe me I know the hair.
If you want Real Russian hair, come to us www.russianhair.net or call toll free 866-630-5087
Best regards to all.

So are you speaking of any particular vendor selling Russian hair or simply the one Donutloose recommended??
I ask because I'm not sure I got anything more from your post than a sales pitch for your own company in response to Hairlover's original post *(which was inquiring about your company)... I guess I'm just not partial to folks who like to drop kick their competitors in order to elevate their own product is all.. Just my opinion of course..

So I will ask again... Was there a PARTICULAR company you were speaking of or is this simply a GENERAL statement???

ahhhhhhh.. I see.. A GENERAL statement.. Okay.. thanks for the response...
I guess it's lucky for me then that I deal with companies who sell ACTUAL "European quality" hair on well constructed wefts.

How much did you spend and how many ounces of hair did you buy? If the quality is great then it makes more sense to buy quality hair instead of buying cheap hair all the time. You will end up spending more money in the long run.

I love it!!!! it blends with the texture of my hair so much better then that of the EP. It's softer and finer like my own hair. I usually have hair forever!!! the only reason I buy new is because I end up cutting it and then want to go longer!!!!
My first purchase was the hand tied 18" weft and it's aprox 11" wide I don't know the weight? but there is quite a bit of hair on one 11" weft. I could almost get away with one weft and I have maybe total of 3 wefts of the extension Plus in. ( it is 1 1/2 oz) I only do one row for a little length and volume. But now I'm getting greedy and want more length!!! So I then ordered the 20" and will add that to the 18" the 18" including shipping was 190.00 I think and the 20" was aprox. 200.00 so yes it's spendy!!! but I cannot wait to put it in... I will post pictures of this hair if you would like. I should take pictures of EP install and then the Russian hair install.... how do I post pictures???

I think choosing a company to deal with depends on your requirements, the hair i bought was still in its raw state (just freshly cut pony tails) so needed work removing short hairs and cutting etc to get to its usable quality, yes you will pay more for russian hair that is already user ready and i realise not many people would buy raw hair, i found it definatly good for my needs as i do so many extensions i need to buy in a bulk order to give my clients the best quality available at an affordable price, everyones a winner!! i havent tried russian.net but am always interested in whats on offer, i normally stock 14" and 18" and would buy a kilo of each.

Not trying to be a nag about this I SWEAR.. but this statement implies that Extensions Plus only sells ONE kind of hair.. The truth is that they sell MANY textures and colors of hair.. I think it's fair to say (based on your previous post) that the hair YOU bought from Extensions Plus didn't match your natural hair texture..
Not tryin' to bust your chops or anything.. but I just wanted to clarify that.. There are several vendors that only specialize in one type of hair exclusively, and I wanted to point out that Extensions Plus isn't one of those companies..

I would be darn surprised if virgin Russian hair actually matched my chemically relaxed African American hair... But I've been curious about this hair, and have been to your site.. I'll send you an e-mail with my info tonight..
