I've had an e-mail from a lady interested in the UK bohyme that I sell through ebay and my website.  She said she was fully qualified in fusion and "shrink-links".  I asked her where she did her training in "shrink-links" and this is her response.  I nearly fell over!!!

Forgot to put in e-mail. The shrink-link was a course in Manchester by Connect-2Hair.
I love the shrink-link method, but have a huge problem taking them out.They (shrinkies) seem to stick to the own hair and will not budge. I do all the correct procedures, but it just doesn't work with me.
 
Do you think Mark Barrington should be informed about this lol.  She is offering a course actually called shrink-links and obviously selling what is not shrink-links if this lady is having problems getting them out.  Is there no end to this woman!

lol Connect-2-hair is that woman aka Soft Gentle Breeze that was coming on the board all the time, the one that has set up an extension chat room, the one that sells horrible hair, the one who Shel had to take to Court etc etc she was eventually banned from this board. x

Hmmm... I just posted on the thread about Shell that we should put her site out there as to warn others. Thats the only good that comes of her poping up and causing trouble. More will now be warned. I have seen a method with simalir name in the trade magizines. I bet she has ripped off that name. You know the same spelling but not quite.

I think MB should be told.  Partly cause I respect his patent/TM partly cause SGB should really not be playing these games.

I've had more e-mails from the lady and she says she paid $360, the training took place in an old metal shed in Manchester and it took one hour!  Poor woman! x

It appears in exposing SGB aka Connect-2-Hair again for the fraud she is I have offended.  Correction to my first post as below as corrected by the lady!  It appears that Connect-2-Hair is still lurking!

Hi Amanda
 
I've just had an e-mail from Connect-2-Hair. She claimed you posted our conversation last night on a chatboard. I am really upset about this as I thought this was a conversation between us two. However I need to put the record straight here -
It was an assesment course as I said only for qualified technicians who have been practising extensions for over 12 month. Also my 1st email I called them shrink link (my fault) but on the next I have read out what is on the certificate - shrink tube- I have also not mentioned any time scale to you ( 1 hour ??) This lady was very helpful and I am upset that you have posted this post as it is not correct, you have not mentioned in the post that it was actually shrink tube. I have found the post and will need to put the record straight. I is not in my nature to sl*g anyone off, but just need to be fair.

Hi

This is my 1st posting here.

I am the lady who had the assessment course with Connect-2-Hair and I need to put the record straight here about a posting by Amanda.

Here is the email sent to Amanda today which should clarify things.

Amanda I am sorry you did not like this e-mail as you have just refunded my payment for the colour ring I've ordered last night, but things need to be kept kept in perspective.

lotus,

Sorry you wasted your money trying to learn this method from connect-2-hair. $360 and you didn't get the correct technique for a removal? Sounds like you should seek a refund.

Zephyr emailed me a few weeks ago wanting me to give her instructions and asked to use my demo for this so called class. Not exactly the actions of someone "prepared" or having enough experience as she's soliciting help from people in email. Obviously she didn't know who she was contacting. Or she's just incredibly stupid. I place my money on the latter.

Your "teacher" has no experience with this extension method that would even remotely qualify her to take money and stand as an example for those learning.

 My point exactly.  I don't come onto this board to insult or post wrong information.  Its an information board and a board that welcomes information if someone is getting ripped off.  That's the only reason I posted it to make sure someone else doesn't get ripped off by this woman.  I am sorry I offended, it wasn't my intention.  I thought the writer of the e-mail to me wouldn't mind it if the information I posted could help someone else.x

shady business.

lotus - do a board search and you'll see many examples of how to DIY for installation and removal which is free public information and sounds like more beneficial/informative for you. i don't know what the deal is and who's a lurker or not, but if the person from whom you took the course is that helpful as you say, then i think you should be contacting her for help. you paid good money for training after all, and i would think that would include removal.

My GOD!

I'm such a t*at aren't I!

Although I'm perfectly content with US Bohyme and Amandas Bohyme I decided to go and order some bloody Burlesque hair. Two washes and I've taken it out! Dreadful stuff. It went fluffy, frizzy and manky as you like. I looked like a cave-woman.

I know it's good to experiment but why didn't I take a certain persons advice? I'm such a pratt at times.

Grr.

(Sorry to rekindle such mingy memories but I needed to rant..)

same thing happened to me sammy a while ago.  I was searching for Connect in LOndon (the one posh spice uses) and came across Connect2hair in manchester and thought they were the same company (not surprising considering the name) and told her i wanted a good quality hair and paid over £50 for the 5* if i can remember right and when the hair arrived, i instally knew i couldnt install it to any of my clients as i have my reputation to think of.  I then contacted her to ask to return it (as it was overly dry, split and frizzy imo) and thats when all hell broke loose and she refused to take it back or refund (probably because she knew exactly the quality of hair she sent me 

Then after a month i just returned the hair to her anyway following trading standards advice and she refunded me and i though this was the end of it until nearly a month later she called me saing she had no received the hair and im like What are you serious!!! and then tried to get 2 debt collectors onto me, harrassed all the staff in the salon i was working in and left me voice messages saying that my house would be reposed!!!!!

Seriously im glad to get rid!!

Bloodyhell!

That's an extreme for you.

I actually installed the hair (I only got the 1* so I'm glad about that) but judging by the desperate quality of it I have no doubt that the 5* would be as bad.

I'm thinking of calling her tomorrow just to let her know how unhappy I am. I can't see I'll get a refund now. She can just say it's my own fault.

Gaaaagh

yeah you can say that again!   Also i went to trading standards about her but then she told them i was a business so they wouldnt deal with my case when infact my business didnt start trading until about a month after i bought from her and the only reason she new i had one was because of the link on this board.  She even went as far as sending them a made up trade invoice (which certainly wasnt the one i got) 

Oh and i also got an indirect thread left on my answerphone about coming to my house (which i still have by the way)

AND she also divulged my personal details to random sellers on ebay telling them i was trouble and not to deal with me.

also i had to change my card details!

Amm also bought from her and wasnt happy and she started a vandeta against her too. 

It learned me a valuable lesson though and i now only deal with reputable companies who treat me with respect and most importantly keep my personal information confidential!!!

So it's not worth a call then?

Surely if that many people have a case against her there has to be a way to put a stop to it. You'd think if everyone complained to training standards then they'd consider something?

I'm not sure what to do. But this is bad!
