I LOVE the silicone lined  micro rings.  Even on my fine haired clients, I'm not seeing any breakage.  I also like the protubes as well.

ditto to metal-

i am trained in Hairlocs, i use a few different tool for a safer install and removal.

care has to be taken with install and removal.

 

Thanks tangleRC, I am going for a consultation on monday for a woman who is certified with hair locs, she does then out of her house. She wouldnt really give me  price over the phone which i can understand. I also talked to another woman who would charge me $250 for the install, she said I would need about 3 packs of hair at $45 per pack and another $40 for the rings. Does that sound about right? What do you find to be the going rate and what should someone charge to do it out of their home?

I  dont do hair out of my home, in my state, its illeagal as a licensed stylist to do hair out of home. Is she licensed?

Find out how long she has been doing them, get references, see a portfolio. Can she cut and style them. Make sure you are taught how to care for them.

hairlocs hair does not come in packs, how many strands did she say  are in a pack?

what part of jersey you in?

i grew up in Bklyn!

 

 

 

And find out about the quality of this hair that's $45 a pack. I would have a hard time taking her word as far as where it exactly came from. There could be a slight chance she could be one of those (I've heard about) that tell you it's Bohyme that they've cut from a weft and tipped themselves. But it's actually several strands of Bohyme, several strands of XYZ-crap hair.  Just a heads up in case.  Or she could be valid!  I personally, would rather bring her my own hair I've purchased from a reputable place for her to install.

 

oooo, I know that's right. Unless the SAME hair you plan to buy is cheaper through the stylist bring your own if possible.

  Im down by the shore orginally grew up in sheeps head bay!

 

If  a client provides her own hair from a source that I am unfamiliar with, I will have them sign a statement saying that I am not responsible if the hair turns to a tangled matted mess.

 

I buy the best quality the client can afford, and I never mark up the price of the hair.  They pay what I pay for the hair, plus shipping.

 

 

   O.K. you're going to learn to do this yourself. It's easy really you can even have your girlfriends or sisters do it. I wear fusion and my 16 just turned 17 years old last, week has been doing mine for a year.

 With hair (depending on length and texture), technique (glue, links, shrinks or wefts) and iron, it's going to cost you $150-$200.

  Are you game?

 

Even easier for your 1st install would be wefts and some kind of tape, with prep work it should only take you a couple of hours and the results are great - you can definately get more hair on your head.

 

Hopefully others will chime in on some more info.  Good luck!

 

  yes, you'll need pre-tipped hair. do you want to pre-tip them yourself or would you rather buy them pre-tipped?

 

We do it all the time. Pick a technique. Read this to start. It'll give you a good idea of what you want to try first and we'll go from there. http://talk.hairboutique.com//forum_posts.asp?TID=30346 - http://talk.hairboutique.com//forum_posts.asp?TID=30346

 

I never agreed with the Hairlocs 'maintance' for just sliding up the locs.  That's the fastest way to damage your hair.

 I just found a girl who does short 2 long and we ordered the hair yesterday, I tried to find the catalog online but I couldn't. we ordered 3 packs of the 16 inch on the first hair listed in the catalog and it came tp $166. If you use the hair is it good hair? I was going to go for the russian but my stylist said this hair was good as well and cheaper.

$150

 She has been doing this method for about a year, she has done hair extensions for about 7 years.

 Hopefully next tuesday.

 I guess becaue I just had alot of work done from her recently and we are not doing a full head I have pretty decent thickness to my hair so we are just adding some length. She charges $250 for a full head.
