I have received other letters from my other extension / hairpiece vendors all stating the same, that due to increased demand and shortage of supply, prices will be going up.

 

I wonder if the Bohyme company is raising their prices, and therefore the distributors are raising their's too, or if Super Hair Factory is just getting greedy. 

 

Sherrie, is Bohyme increasing prices to distributors?

 

By the way, Bohyme will also be at the Long Beach show this weekend, which regrettabley I can't attend.

 

I am concerned about the shortage of good hair, since this is my business and how I make my living.  Higher prices will decrease the amount of clients willing and able to buy hair extension services.

 

So anyone have any news on how the 'hair cloning' is coming along.  I know scientists are working on it.  My gosh, if they can clone a sheep than you'd think that they could clone some great hair!

 

 

I think Bohyme is a mix of Indian and Chinese hair.

 

 

Sheesh....another price increase? I'm not sure Metalgirl, I havent placed any orders with Bohyme recently and I havent recieved any notices of an increase, although it wouldnt surprise me. Bohyme had a HUGE increase in price last spring, so Im shocked that they would have another big increase so soon....they normally resist increases as long as they can. Prior to the price increase last spring it had been several years since they raised prices.

 

I was looking at 4 ounces of hand tied bohyme in body wave 18" and at Super Hair Factory they want $179 while at ebonyline it was listed as $129.

 

I guess I won't be shopping at Super Hair Factory anymore.  What I did like about them is that they would sell you the hand tied by the piece, so you can mix and match color.

 

I don't believe I ever said Bohyme specifically was coated or not, and I certainly never said that I thought Bohyme was a troublesome brand. 

I had bought some hair from a few vendors overseas and it was their hair that was really coated.

 

 I  installed the overseas hair on  about 10 people.  When several clients got terrible matting within weeks, I found myself going out of pocket to replace hair and reinstall for free, so if that happened more frequently, yes it would ruin my business. 

 

 As it was, I did about 10 redos where I had to eat the cost.  Since I run a professional business in a nice salon, my overhead is high, therefore anything that subtracts from my bottomline is detrimental to my business.

 

I have received many letters from various vendors stating something like "due to the shortage of premium remi hair, we are having to raise prices due to increased costs..."
