wow......... this is so crazy. It makes you not wanna share. I hate when people make money off YOUR ideas. Wigs are way more complicated then simply slapping them on and off. I truly believe that lace wigs just as great weaves are truly an art. You have to have passion and a sense of creativity.
I have customers who I have done their apps and the application is fabulous, but they do nothing with the hair and say " I want it to look like yours" I say to them you need to have it stlyed to fit YOU. If not, it is just hair.
I love hair, weaves, wigs, makeup , clothes I am a women! I take pride in every customer and treat them well, cause that is what I want as a customer. I believe that there will be MANY come up artist that think that this is an easy buck, have you noticed...everyone is NOW selling wigs. They come to this site and injest all that inofrmation and want quick tips on apllication to make a quick dollar and I am simply tired of it.
Members like Bless, Bhree, Ebony, ladydi, and others have wig business that will and are prospering simply because they have the passion for this business. Not like these fly by nite site and poeple sellings wigs!
I am going to stop now cause I am getting to upset......
Meechie Girl, I agree with you 100% THIS HAS GOTTEN OUT OF HAND!!! Pretty soon, you're going to see Aquanetta and Bokeshia wearing jaked up units in rainbow colors!!!!!
And as for the prices of her units, that's just supply and demand. We just happened to know a backdoor. I know one thing, I'm not telling anyone in my town where I get my units. They just have to find out on their own or buy them from me
I'm not mad at her. If people want to shell out money instead of doing some research and getting the information for free then thats their business. Shes is just catering to that group of people. Its just like how white women pay $500-600 for weaves that we do ourselves for $75. Even if EVERYONE know about BHM and HB, there would still be people who would pay to have someone show them. If I had the money, I would probably pay to go to a class just so I could see first hand what a vet does to get a great app. But since I don't, I just thank got I found this site so I can get the info I need and practice doing it myself.

So what you're saying ....If someone spends alot a money it's like telling someone who wants to really learn how to cook (like a
chef) not to go to culinary school and spend $5000, just go read the
electronic version of Betty Crocker for free instead...
Apples and oranges, IMO.

Alot of you on the board keep forgetting that the board is only .01 percent of people in the WORLD who actually take the time to research boards like this and learn about LFs.

I've taught many of classes and they usually go for 8 hours of hands on training for about $800. Though you do receive a unit and kit (lunch and snacks included too), taking the time out to teach about 15 to 20 students at a time and making sure they are doing all the techniques right, such as measurements, bleaching knots, creating a new hairline from a stock, washing, showing the detangling methods and everything else you learn in my hands-on class is well worth the money.
....just my two cents.....LOL
hey i could see this being informative and benefical as well as getting a lf, and some lunch too.. it worth the class...that's great and a good business woman..
showing the detangling methods and everything else
i would have pay the $1000 but unfortunately im not sure she does all of this in her classes.... im pretty sure its a copy,paste,edit all the BHM information..and i bet they got some links to youtube vids.

ljdream,
Your class is worth the money. At least you are offering a unit along with all the other teachings that you stated. The other person selling application techniques only is robbing people.

This subject is very touchy and should be looked at from both points of view. First, as a consumer you are buying a product. Items we buy everyday comes from china and is bought cheap and sold high. The only difference is we don't know the original price therefore it is not an issue. Many don't care because its what they want or need. As a consumer, most strive to get the best price possible.
Second, the business owner is selling a product and service. Please be fair to all. How much does it cost for a weave, eyelash, computer class or even how much did it cost for classes when the concepts were new? This is training that prepares you to make money therefore its worth something.
I have seen prices higher and lower than what I am offering for LF. It's an individual's choice. The business owner might have business cost that is associated with the business (rent, supplies, lights, Licsences, employee's, marketing, etc.) Here is Georgia the classes are the about the same in cost. I thank God everyday that I found this site and got the information that I got. I am working on preparing a class for individuals who don't have the knowledge or know how but who would like to offer the services to their clients. I am trying to come up with a fair yet still competitive price for my time and services. I usually train my clients on how to apply their own units because I would like the clients to really enjoy their purchases with out having to give my all their hard earned money.
Just sharing my thoughts!!!!!!!

yea its appliation, removal and measuring, and looking at colors.. 1,000 bucks its crazy.. i've been asked often why don't i sell them but honestly i don't want the hassle, and plus i would keep all the product for myself.. i wouldn't be able to let them go.. i've had new wigs that i've never worn and i knew i wasn't gonna and let them sit there so i could look at them.. OK i know that's bad, but its true.. plus the scandelous nature of this business and the complaining of some people that you can never satisfy.. i can't be bothered..
Hi Sexi,
I have customers that you could never please but I just roll with the punches. I have tried everything possible to satisfy but some you can't. I try my best to let my customers know that LF are not for everyone. It takes work and time to be beautiful. I also let them know when you perfect it look out.
$1000!!! What?? Whoever she is, she's knows she not right.
On the other hand...I'm sorry to say it, but anyone who pays that much for some stuff you can learn on the internet for FREE deserves to get ripped off. Personal responsibility. If only they had taken two seconds to Google some stuff, they'd see that paying $1000 to learn how to apply a lace wig is idiotic.
Sexibeach, I think you are a little bitter. At least to me you sound bitter. Why would you even take the time to post what she charges? She is a business woman. Let her make her money and stop hating. Crabs in a barrel....crabs in a barrel.
girl please not even in the least bit, maybe if i paid 1,000 buck to learn what i already know.. but just like the title says it amazes me.. i'm not trying to knock her game b/c if i were i would have posted who she was, but i didn't.. its all good i don't need her classes at all..
Wow. First of all, what's up Sexi? It's KSilver in the house! Hopefully no drama queens from the other board are popping up over here
I am glad you posted this information. I am also tired of people straight up taking advantage of others now that the LF craze has officially gone into overdrive. There is a huge difference between being a "business woman" and being a damn thief. This economy has everyone trying to make their money, but don't do it at the expense of others by unnecessarily ripping people off. I continue to be shocked when I visit various LF sites charging more than $600 per unit when we know that 95% of these wigs come straight from 3-5 Chinese vendors. Come on now!
Nobody is "hating", but being in business for profit does not mean being GREEDY!
HEY KSILVER GREAT TO SEE YOU! and yep i totally agree, i 'm not knocking anyone's game, i'm all for seeing black women in business and do it well.. but that's way to pricey in my opinion.. if you wanna be blessed then do it the right way so folks will appreciate you and return.. if you do it this way, once they get out here comes to boards like this and the other board, and find out the truth they won't be back as a repeat customer..

^^ I agree... Knowledge is power and according to her, she has that knowledge. Information sells and she is selling it. I don't knock her one bit. There is a sucker born every minute. Make ya money honey!!
I agree with you to a certain extent. It's not that anyone is a sucker, it's just uninformed people.
I remember a discussion similiar to this on BHM a while back and I'm sure it's been discussed several times.
Personal I don't knock her either. I charge the same amount for one of my lf classes but there are major differences. To many to list but a few are I'm a certified hair replacement instructor, it's for licensed cosmetologists only, students will become certified with my manufacturer, and materials are included.
I do however, offer my clients the option to be hands on while I am attaching their units so that they can learn to do it themselves. But that's free of charge (the hands on that is.)
I was about to get into something but that's off topic so I'll start my own post.
