The hair you had for sale has seemed to create quite a stir at the BlackHairMedia board. Everyone seems impressed. :) Did you sell out?

First, I "know" amm. I've bought stuff from her and she's a regular on hairboutique and let me tell you, the girl knows some weave like it's nobody business. She has probably bought weave from every vendor known. She buys hair, wears it, critiques it... I mean she has thread upon thread where she gives the rundown on every type of weave possible, you should see what she puts hair through so if she's giving this weave a thumbs up, I'm listening.] |

Yeah, I'm a little embarrassed by the attention. I just hope it all works out for them. I know quite a few over there got incredibly burned in the past.
It's mostly all gone. I have some that didn't really make the grade, imo. That's the problem with bulk ordering. You get some exceptional pieces and some that have no business being shipped. I wore a good weft of it myself for a while and really loved it which is why I offered it. If it passes muster with the experts over there, I'll get some more. That stuff is a lot of work to make presentable but it sure is pretty when it's done.

Don't be embarassed Amm. You have good CS and you deliver what you state. Those ladies are looking for a good supply of hair and you happen to have it. This is my first time actually buying wefted hair and I really like it. I put a posting up because I believe that any legitimate company deserves to be recognized. Especially if you get what you paid for. Get ready because you are going to get swamped with orders and request. I wish you the best! 
P.S. Kalika, as you can see the lady who used that phrase to describe Amm was very upset because no one bought hair from her. She was addressed by a lot of women on the forum as I'm sure you saw.

Yeah I saw that one lady was upset, but I also saw a lot of people just use it in general. As someone who was called "the white girl", it gets annoying and offensive after a while. I know most people didnt mean it in that way, but I would never call someone "that black girl".

What hair was that? Where did you get it, and how much work did you do to condition it?
I have some hair from CherryCoke, and it has alot of splits in it, I wonder if I soak it in oil if I will have less trimming to do?????

Aww gsmile you still haven't gotten those ends trimmed? I warned ya! I dont think oil will help the ends. I tried it on some of the other lighter bundles of hair that had splits. I wonder why the lighter hair all had more splits than the darker. Maybe it was from being outside or something?
Yeah that thread is pretty funny. I was a bit offended by the white girl comment and said something about the race card thingie in my post there. Think what would have happened if someone here wrote, "I can't believe you people would rather buy hair from that black chick at that other board rather than help a caucasian sister out here. HAHA wouldnt that go over like a ton of bricks? A lot of people jumped her case about it. Oh well. Maybe you can call your hair line WHITECHICK Indian hair. lol The hair does look really pretty and you are selling it for reasonable prices. Everyone else jacks the prices 2 or 3 times that. I would say you won;t have any problem selling more now that it's bound found by BHM readers.

I have no clue why race even came into factor. People were buying from indianhairs and no one complained about people taking there business to India. I think she was just frustrated and the fact that Amm wasn't black upset her because we jumped on her prices. I mean I went back through the threads and remembered that she wanted like $80 for 4oz of hair. As one of the other girls stated she had no feedback and no one ever purcahsed anything from her. Kalika is see how it's still offensive, I don't blame you for being annoyed. But really I could care less about race. I'm supporting whom ever has the best prices and a good quality product.
And Syren123 I don't think anyone is really like overjoyed, but it's best to have people praising a company before some one immediately puts up a BUYER BEWARE posting just because they feel suspicious. After Swt Candy hit the scene others have been very hesitant to make online purchases.

Oh no, Latte...I know that. I remember when that Scamcandy deal went down - well, right after it - and it was tragic! I don't know if things are EVER the same after an event like that, so I don't blame those girls for being both cautious AND bitter! In fact, I was really glad to see how well they did their background check on amm - several of them have obviously been reading this board pretty thoroughly. What made me laugh is that many of those posters are just hilarious - maybe they don't mean to be, but the way they express themselves is just really entertaining. I love reading that board. And I'm glad some of them got some great hair for a great price.

I especially like how she wrote "wh*te"...Like it's a f**king bad word!

Maybe someone can explain why she made color an issue? Why the "wh*te" remark?
More importantly, how come someone didn't kick her ass up between her shoulderblades when she called the people "stupid" who got conned?

Yes, I'm surprised how women are still willing to buy from her when she was so rude! I'm amazed the amount of abuse some people will endure for some pretty hair.

It's so weird! You would not believe how many people are bidding on her hair now. I guess they feel bad for her or something. Based on the things she said I would never buy anything from her. Just plain old sad.

Damn skippy.
I dont care about race either, I buy the best hair I can for the bst price regardless if its from a black woman or a white woman, or a gay asian man.
And I would NEVER buy hair from someone who threw a tissy fit and acted like a child. She reminded me of a kid from a bake sale back in elementary school. "Why is everyone buying HER cookies but not mine! You all are stupid! *stamps feet"
Amm, I still like the "Honkeyweave" idea

Well being a black women and also a active member over at BHM (which the name I use over there is my second name) She was probably feeling neglected...PERIOD, and like someone said before hand you just happened to be white and that made it worse for her. I don't condone her outrage, but then again you never know what a person is going through. You really have to put yourself in that person's situation when things like that happen. I try not to judge because it is NOT my place too. Also you just have to understand that when SOME black people use the word "white" it most cases their not trying to be offensive, but given history, when a white person or caucasian person saids anything in relations to race....the word "black" just hits a soft spot with people, that's just how it is and will forever be. Race will always be an issue with some people, really can't do anything about that. I just chalk her anger up to the fact that she felt neglected and ignored...once again I don't agree on how she went about expressing her feelings, but I feel she was really speaking out of anger, and not thinking clearly before she typed what she typed.

I couldn't imagine the outrage if someone here were to ever suggest we not purchase from or use the services of individuals just because they were black, hispanic, asian, etc.

Speaking as the black woman who started the thread on BHM in the first place, I can honestly say there is NO excuse for bringing race into business. She just publicly turned away many potential buyers of her hair (which is beautiful by the way). Customer service is a MUST! I plan to open an online beauty supply store and I don't think there's anything wrong with giving each other a little praise every now and then. I think Amm's hair is absolutely GORGEOUS, but as pretty as the hair is, people are always looking for a change (thats when the upset lady's hair would've come into play). I've always thought that instead of women constantly tearing each other down, we need to learn to build each other up- REGARDLESS OF RACE!!

I'd say 99% of this board couldn't give a rat's a$$ about race. All we care about is hair and we'd buy it from a Martian if it was what we wanted.

Same as BHM. I hope she didn't give the HairBoutique ladies a bad view of us BHM'ers.

So when are you getting more hair for sale amm?
I've been out of circulation for a while.
Just installed new PH braids this weekend.
SO maybe around winter break I'm going to want to put in HH again.
But having it, and looking at it, and touching it, and loving it in the meantime would be wonderful.

BHM is just like Hair Boutique, at least in the weave section...all we care about is the best products, the best hair and the best customer service. The woman who made the white girl comment is not well received over there, and her talk has NOTHING to do with the rest of the ladies over there.

I'm getting more in a week or two. I'll have to go through it and see what I get. It's like Cracker Jacks - sometimes the surprise inside is complete garbage.
Joy, nice to see you here. What can you do about those random comments, yanno. There's one right now saying they're mad because my stock is so low (listen, if it was higher I'd be offering the garbage wefts, too) and that I haven't responded to any emails. I've had a dozen pleasant exchanges with this person since the 10th. I mean, things never fail to boggle the mind. Ya just shake it off and move along.
