Canīt you just put the hair back in yourself? Or go back to the salon and have it done again? ------------- http://www.extensionsbysynne.dk/">

Well, no matter what they say; If the hair looks and feel great still, then I se no problem in reusing it again. Just snip of the part of the hair where the glue is. Regards, ------------- http://www.extensionsbysynne.dk/">

| It came from great lengths ready to go, she used the fusion gun to attach it. She told me it is not reusable unless it gets redone or whatever. |

Bunner. Sorry to hear that it's such an adjustment when taking them out. I have also spent thousand on my hair and now do it myself for less then $200. Why dont you try that? ------------- Current install: 18" Bohyme 18/22 mixed with 613 -200 microlinks.....pre tipped by me!!! (never again!) |

Hey Paula, It's a real bummer that you can't get stylists to re-install Great Lengths hair. I have tried alot of different hair, and that (Great Lengths) is without a doubt the best quality hair I have come across. It's such a waste of beautiful hair. I too could not afford the cost of Great Lengths every three months or so, therefore I changed to the fushion method with Bohyme hair and was equally as satisfied. If you can find a good stylist to install your extensions with that method, I'm sure you will be very pleased. I know it's so hard to be without them once you've had extensions. ------------- Gettin' Lengthy Hair Extentions |

Hey Paula, It's me again, and I was just thinking (No! it doesn't hurt) lol. If I was you, I would ask your stylist to save the Great Lengths hair when he or she removes it, and have somebody else re-install it for you. If he or she doesn't agree to do it, then have somebody else remove your extensions and re-install them. When you spend that much money on hair and it's such good quality, I see no reason to trash it. ------------- Gettin' Lengthy Hair Extentions |

Oh! and one more thing! Once the extension has been removed, all that needs to be done is to cut off the old bond and either re-tip the bond and re-apply or don't even re-tip hair and just fuse into your hair. Anybody that does hair extensions will understand what I'm talking about. DON'T THROW THAT BEAUTIFUL HAIR AWAY! ------------- Gettin' Lengthy Hair Extentions |

PaulaJayne after you get the GLs out get your butt on over here to my place and Ill show you how to do the pro-tac tape method! Definitely have your stylist save that GL hair. You can re-tip it and use it again at a later date! ------------- www.hairextensions101.com - www.hairextensions101.com www.mybeautyaddiction.com - www.mybeautyaddiction.com |

Who would I get to re tip it? Sherrie= Ok, I will be right over!! I am serious... I want to give my real hair a break for a while then I know I will miss them sooooo much that I will have to have to have them again.
Sherrie, can you do them? I would pay you of course!!! I will ask her but she said that the hair will be on the floor all messed up and that I could not reuse them. There is no one around here that removes them and she is the only I trust to do it. |

The hair will only end up on the floor if she throws it on the floor after she removes the extension! That's just the Great Lengths tactic to get you to spend another ton of money. It's in the stylist's best interest to tell you that you can't reuse the hair since the stylist marks up the hair a lot and makes a profit off of that too. I have removed many fusion installs, and I just set aside the hair because it can be reused again. You paid for this hair, and as we all know good hair is like gold, so don't let her throw away your investment! ------------- http://www.Godiva-Hair.com - http://www.Godiva-Hair.com http://www.MetamorphosisHairDesign.com - http://www.MetamorphosisHairDesign.com |

| I will just tell her I want the hair and leave it at that. If she says it is useless or whatever I will say I want to keep it. |

ew, GL people make me feel...sad. I know they are taught this way, but I
hate waste of any kind, especially of BEAUTIFUL HAIR!! That just makes me....sick!!  (A LITTLE hair obsessed?? Yes.)
And Paula, go with the pro-tac! Start doing it yourself, it may not be GL, but I am sure you will be just as pleased with it! Plus, as far as price goes....it's unbelievably affordable. |

Yikes girl, she's the only one you trust and she's telling you since the hair falls on the floor it's all over? Ask her if there's any way she can either avoid letting the hair fall on the floor OR pick the hair up off the floor if it happens to go on the floor?  |

| No, kidding Malibu! Whether or not you ever use the hair, for how much they cost you, I would keep the hair on principle alone! I don't think that it's too much to ask that she be careful with YOUR hair when she takes it out. YOU paid a pretty penny for it and she is being paid by YOU to remove them. This is a business transaction not a favor. You want a service done in a particular way, if she cannot accomodate you, get someone else to remove the hair! |

Great Length's are removed using the same method as fusion. There is no reason why she can't keep the majority of the bond in tack when sliding the extensions out. And from that point, you can just cut the tip off, however, I would suggest NOT doing that until you are ready to re-install. There are soooooooo many wonderful people on this site that are very willing to help you with any questions and or training you might have or need.

I agree I love this board, I am new to the board and I am trying to find out everything possible about fusion, microlinks, shrinkies an all of the above. I have been a hairstylist for 20years and now I would like to offer extensions to them instead of sending them to other stylist. I can not braid , and choose not to learn , but I would love to learn the other methods of hair extensions. Any advice from experience people would be great. I would like to be certified in everything that I offer to my clients. I specialize in healthy hair and that is what I am known for.( So I would like to keep that reputation) Help anyone,everyone,where and how do I get started. Thanks ------------- lovelove |
