Kellie, I too am in MI . I work in conservitive Troy and you would be surprised at who's wearing them. From the waitress to the GM executive they just dont talk about it !!!
I think that it really doesn't matter what area you are in, if you develop a good reputation and market your services wisely, you will do well.
I live in a country type area and people here represent all income levels from super rich to welfare. I have build a good extension business and also have many clients for whom I perform the CHI permanent straightening. (love that system, by the way)
My website has generated a lot of business for me, with many of my clients traveling up to 3 hours to have their hair done. I also have 2 yellow pages ads, and that's also worked great, but it's very costly.
What movie is this saying from, "Build it, and they will come...."
Feild of dreamsI totaly agree! And the ones with out a large income will find away beleive me. Woman with a spouce can just look at what there husbands spend on golf and justify it!

I definitely agree with you guys!! If the service is not offered then no one can get it. I think anywhere that it isn't offered, would be a great market to start up in. Hopefully I will be able to do that in the future.
I would love to have the CHI Straightening done on my hair!!
I am a stay-at-home mom to two yound boys (at the moment). I always had a hair thing since I was - like 2 years old - lol. It all started with my first set of curlers that I put in my dad's hair (over and over again). He tells me that is why he has so little hair today. I , like most little girls wanted long hair but did not want it brushed - so I had this HUGE knot in the back of my head. My mom cut my beautiful down to my bum hair and I looked like a boy (from the age of 10-14). I let it grow again when I was 14, but I then found hair dye and perms and messed up my hair so many times it never grew very long due to damage. Now at 34 I have given up with highlighting, perms, different hair colors and I am growing my hair long again. I can't really (or don't want to) wait for that to happen so I found extensions. My hair is growing nice and healthy and in a few years I won't need the extensions.
HI I just found this site thanks to Jenny. I am in love with it.
I do not do extensions professionally. I am a mother of three and I go to school for nursing part time. I have also worked at different part time jobs but none of them have ever had anything to do with hair.
I have had extensions for a few years now and have tried a few different types. I do not do them for anyone else, only on myself because I don't know what I'm doing as it is.
I started getting them because I damaged my hair bleaching it and had to cut it very short. I have very fine thin hair that is naturally a dark blond color that I lighten. It grows very slowly and it took me about 20 years to finally get it to the length I liked while also looking healthy with blond highlights. Then I bleached my hair myself and had to cut it all off. Very dumb and sad. I wasn't about to wait another 20 years for my own hair to grow back long so I started getting extensions. Eventually I learned to do them on myself through trial and error. Still I have not had any success in growing my own hair back so I am doing something wrong. Which is why I am so glad to have found this board.
Meanwhile I have had a whole lotta fun playing with my hair over these last few years. And I have discovered how much fun crazy colors and changing my hairstyle from short to long overnight can be. Living in a very conservative neighborhood makes it that much more fun to confuse my neighbors. And when I need inspiration I can go downtown into Chicago where I have seen some really amazing gorgeous creative hair extensions.
Nice to meet you all (oh and by the way my real name is Heather) Halo is a nickname that I've given up trying to shake.
I am a freelance web designer, doula and student midwife.
I have been interested in extensions (Ive had dread extensions, synth
and human) for a few years now. I am so glad to be among chicks who
love extensions and understand.
Dealer or support group, some days, both!
I have 3 cats 2 dogs and two wonderful kids.
One of my dogs is just a mere pup at 10 weeks, a mini dachshund (other is a basset hound).
