Hi Everyone! I’m new to the HairTalk Message Board. I recently moved to the Northern Virginia area ( I finally found a salon in my area that offered both Great Lengths & So. Cap. Long story short, I walked out after finding it was going to cost almost $1500 for So. Cap & $1800 for Great Lengths--WAY too much for me! I’ve been doing research and have heard some bad stories about GL extensions. I used to have extensions (woven track method) back in 1994 & again in 1998; however, it was too bulky for me. I want the strand-by-strand method this time around, but have been really hard-pressed finding someone in my area (or just anywhere in the northern VA area) that does them. If anyone knows of someone, I would greatly appreciate it! Kristin PS: Thanks for all of the great information everyone has contributed on this message board—I can find answers to almost any question I had. |

Kristin, I am in Northern Virginia. I'm not a cosmetologist, but I have been doing my own strand by strand for over a year. A good friend of mine is a hair stylist and does extensions (for only $800) but believe it or not, his salon manager offered to give me free hair coloring anytime I want it if I would teach them how I do MY extensions. If you want, email me at mailto:dreamwave00@aol.com - dreamwave00@aol.com (the 00's are zeroes) and I can give you my friend's contact info at the salon, or I can do them for you. |

Thank you so much for responding! I had actually done a search on this message board for people in the Northern VA area and came across your name. I shot you an e-mail the other day; however, I probably goofed on the address?!?! I'll resend to you! From what I have read on past posts, you really seem to know your stuff and I would be very happy to speak with you & discuss the methods you currently do; the type of extensions I was used to back in the 90's (picture Tawny Kitaen circa WHITESNAKE videos--yes, I was born & raised in NJ & loved my big hair) are MUCH different than what I am looking to have done this time. Anyway, I'll drop you a line with my contact details. Thanks again for your help--you have no idea how extremely frustrating it is that there are little-to-no resources for this type of work down here!!!! You just made my day! Thanks! Kristin
