I'm looking at hair extensions and I heard about Cinderella hair extensions. Can anyone give me any information about this in comparison to Great Lengths? I heard that the cost is considerably lower, but I am concerned about the quality of the hair, etc. Thanks for your help! Dayna is-daw@womans.com |

| Hmmm...Never heard of it. Are they the fushion kind, or the clipped, glued or sewn in ones? |

dana, i just had the cinderella extensions put in my hair last weekend. they look great, very real, and are MUCH less expensive than the great lengths. it depends on what you're looking for and what you want to spend, but i'm really happy with the cinderella extensions i got. (they are protien bonds heated into your hair) darcy |

Great Lengths, Cinderella, mega Hair and any other type of fusion bonded extensions has thier good and bad points. The good part is they look and feel awesome, the bad part is they are not for everyone. These heated bond extensions should not be applied to weak or chemically treated hair, they should not be applied as a full head extension or as a hair replacement, they should only be worn a few applications. Most of my clients I have done these extensions on became dependant on them as a fashion need and in the end they did not ever achieve thier own natural hair; in other words thier natural hair never got better but worse. I switched these clients to the weaving method and found much better results for natural hair growth and done properly thier hair returned healthy. However wearing the bond method can benifit the person who needs a tempory change and will not be wearing the extensions for long periods of time. I recommend that the bond method stay in your hair no longer than 3 months per application. Any longer and your hair will thin out and likely become weak. Make sure if this is the method you want to use that your extensionist has experience and a good name. Done wrong and your hair will reap the damages. Anyone saying fusion can last over 3 months is lying so buyer beware. Any type of hair extension method is expensive and high maintence. There are no such things as cheap hair extensions. Prices are from $500-$3,000. The higher the price does not mean they will last longer,it depends on who does it and hair quality plays a big expense role. Make sure to always use real human hair with cuticles aligned in the same direction. If your hair tangles or matts up after a wash or two you got scammed. On the end note there are many ways of attaching hair extensions, I really don't think one is better than the other, I think its the clients hair situation which should determine which method is best suited. I think the bond method can be good but the clients that can wear them are limited.Most clients that I do seeking hair extensions are desperate due to hair damage, female thinning and other hair conditions where the bonding method cannot be supported in the hair causing further damage. I use the bonding method or Great Lengths when I have a client who wishes to have a little length and fullness added and thier hair is in a very healthy state, then this method works wonders. Good Luck- ------------- BWagner |

i don't know where you are, but I know that they use Cinderella hair extensions at Capello Salon in Orlando, FL. Hope this helps. The stylist there told me Great Lengths is more expensive because you are paying for the equipment they use to put the hair on... ------------- |

AS a professional stylist who began applying extensionsfor the last year I will share with you my disagreement about what they do to the natural hair...I have had wonderful long term results with them> what I do it put my clients on NIOXIN,,,,an awesome product the slows down or stops hair loss..that and a strict maintanance agreement onhow to take care f them results in the naturhair being in good condition when the extensions are removed. I used BOTH Great LEngths AND Cinderella. The hair quality is somewhat different, hence the lower price for Cinderella....Hope this helps!!!!!

i just had mega hair strands applied, they are similar to cinderella and great lengths, and i'm very pleased... however, it takes FOREVER to blow dry the hair and it feels course even though it was labelled "silky smooth." is this normal? it's so porous. it's impossible to dry. ------------- |

| I am a recipient of both Great Lengths and Cinderella...DO NOT use Cinderella!! They dont stay in, come out by 'strands' (resulting in hair EVERYWHERE). Ive had them removed with new ones applied FOUR times (under warranty) and the results are the same. Im returning to GL |

I do hair extentions and have always worn the new methods before I apply them to other people. BEWARE OF GREAT LENGTHS I have to agree with the other post. They are VERY damaging to the hair and often become matted and tangeled after less than 2 months. Many stylists have said that it then takes HOURS to remove them at this point. The glue on several ocassions has turned black with no explanation from the company. They do not back up thier products at all. Many stylist have refused to use them any longer. I am very curious as to others and their experience with the Cinderella Hair Extentions. Thank you in advance for your feed back London |

London I have done hair extentions for years and was excited about Great Lengths when they came out UNTIL... I had clients comming back in to complain about them tangeling, the glue turning colors, the hair frizzing ect.... I rang the company and YOU ARE RIGHT they were of no help. WHEN THEY DID FINALLY RING ME BACK. Ladies Stay away from GREAT LENGTHS

I have been doing Great Lengths in my salon for about 5 years. I had a couple of problems with applications when they were playing with different bond formulas over the years and when I called the company, I too received no help. Until I talked to Brett Butcher. He seems to be the only one that can help with a real problem. I have needed and used his help twice over the years. He did come thru! However, it did take some perserverance on my part. My GL applications last an average of 6 months. If you stress to your clients (and send home comprehensive instructions on the care and detangling of GL's) then the average wear time is 6 - 8 months for normal to thick hair and 4 - 6 months for fine - normal hair. Most of my clients wear them to grow out their and use them for about 1 1/2 years with much success. The main difference between Cinderella Hair & GL (I tried it once) is the feel of the hair. I put a few strands in a coworkers' hair and she could only stand the feel of it on her shoulder for about 2 weeks. (I wanted to test the wear time against GL) The feel of the hair was the difference in price. But maybe we just got a few bad strands sent to us. ------------- saj |

Hi Don't worry about the quality of the hair - it's very good quality. I wear Cinderella hair myself. I have also worn Great Lengths extensions.. Cinderella Hair is about the same from what I can tell. I've had this lot in for about 2 months now and it's still as silky and Shiny as when it was first applied. |

I can't understand that as I wear Cinderella Hair Extensions myself and have done for about 5 months now. I have not experienced hair coming out. I am also a Cinderella Hair Extension Technician. I can only say that if you experienced what you say you did, whoever applied your bonds may have overheated them. |

I offer the best and newest form of fusion which is the Lord and Cliff brand. It is a step up from both the Cinderella and Great lengths fusion. This hair doesn’t shed or fall out. It also stays silky and last much longer. I charge $350 for first time clients and I have all reoccurring customers who are completely satisfied with my job. I’ve had no complaints at all. I am located in Atlanta, GA, but I will travel to your city if you can find at least 5 other people who would also be interested. Call me at (404) 421-0715. My name is Tonye. My website is www.starrtraxx.com/fusions.htm. ------------- |

I read all your replies about Cinderella hair. I'm 35 and have fine hair, it never grows much beyond my shoulders. Considering extensions, but fear they will pull out what little hair I have left. Can you suggest what would work for me? When I say "Fine" I mean my pony tail is the diameter of a dime! ------------- |

Hi- I had Cinderella HE- they LOOKED great...unfortunately, they had a tendency to slide out. They were great for summer when you could get out of the pool and just scrunch- even the straight scrunched GREAT! Much less wear and tear! ------------- |

Im just curious but did you stylist give care instructions or a ph balancer or shampoo and conditioner to use at home. Protien bonds are very sensitive to certain ingridiants used in some shampoos. ------------- |

You cannot compare the protein bonds. They are okay, but they don't last as long due to the flimsy bonding. Although the texture of hair [remy] is better than Great Lengths for black hair. I got the Great Lengths and for the 7months they were in. My hair grew tremendously and looked fabulous. And my hair hates humidity with a passion, but lasted all summer and looked great! If you're in NJ try Edith Younger Huff / Keisha at A Cut Above in New Brunswick NJ. They color, perm, do bridal showers, everything. They do ALL, I mean ALL types of hair. Nice place without the price of NYC. Edith can work miracles on the hair trust me!

I have discovered Balmain hair extensions and have found that since they buy A quality hair it is beautiful. I compared another company's hair and it didn't have near the shine as the Balmain hair did. redsalonsource.com distributes this product and they are having a class in NYC June 21st. Check them out if you are interested in a hair extension company with designer backing. ------------- |

| I have really fine, naturally curly, chemically colored hair. I am considering hair extensions, as my hair takes forever to grow and my hair was cut by my stylist a year ago after breakage due to breaking my leg and surgery. Anyway, the stylist I saw today said he uses something that is like GL, and it is strand by strand, felt nice and soft. He plans to color my hair AND the extensions altogether. Is this ok? I''''m reading some things on the ''''net that say not to color, not to use on colored hair. I think the more I read the less I feel like I know. I don''''t want my hair to get ripped out or break more from extensions, and they are going to cost $1200 with the cut and color. |

I have extremely fine, thin hair that is color treated. I had Great Lengths put in about 2 months ago. The woman that put mine in is an instructor for GL and she does a fantastic job. I was in her salon with a room full of women with extensions and everyone looked great and were long term(several years)customers. She will NOT do color and extensions on the same day. She said she needed at least 48 hours for color pre-extension and would prefer a week if possible. She did just color mine, with extensions in place, and I have not had any problems with them. I am obviously not a professional so I can't speak to the system being used but that is just my experience with GL. |

| I am a hairdresser in Charlotte, N.C. I have been doing hair extensions for 10 years and also wear them myself.I have used cinderella(if it's for a short time, they are fine-like for a wedding) they fall out quite easily and the hair is is inferior to the quality of great lengths or so cap. I have tried euro-locs, hairlocs, great lengths, so cap and cinderella. My 2 favorites to use on my clients and also to use myself are so cap and hair locs. Neither should damage the hair much if applied and removed carefully. It is harder to remove great lengths. Although someone with very strong hair would fare fine with great lengths. it has more to do with the individuals hair. Call me if you have questions 803-493-5739. My prices start at $750 for a full head. |

Hi, I have had great lengths in my hair for about a year now>My hair was in pretty bad shape last year from highlighting it over and over,anyway, all my foils broke and my hair was really dry I had greatlengths put in and have become addicted, my hair has grow and it in great condition .My hair is now almost all healthy but is a few inches past my shoulders and I am used to the LONG hair so I keep them in till I'm a little longer, I am now taking the cinderella class and if I like it I will have them done but I dont know anything about them yet. But I have to say, I use any shampoo and conditioner I like, it never made the bonds weak and I wash almost every day, I also conditioner my roots and I never had a problem only if they were old ones the might slide. Anyway, hope this information is helpful to someone. Oh, by the way, YES they will get tangled if you don't brush every day and night. ------------- |

| You can buy Cinderella Hair Extensions from a company here in Toronto called Venus beauty supply. I use Cinderella, Great Lengths and So-Cap extensions. However the prices are all very close so if you think Cinderella are less money that is not the case. Good Luck |

It depends on if you washed them with the special shampoo and didnt use to much conditioner near the root area, also when brushing them did you really pull them?
if not they they have been done incorrectly and i would advise you to return to the salon who did then and get them to either re-check the whole lot or refund some of your money as they are not ment to fall out so quickly - if you have been looing after them properly. Rachel !!! |
