Fusion Extensionist /Hair Care Stylist

Kalika????

 

hi- welcome to our boards, its a great lil community filled with gals who do their own extensions (DIYers)  and a host of professionals as well.  As a fellow professional, comming on here thinking its just a msg board to throw a pitch out for yourself and hopefully gain some new business, might seem like a great idea, however, it is frowned upon on this board, and other boards for that matter. While you are more then welcome to jump in, get to know us and tell us about yourself, blatant advertising is simply not acceptable. Below is taken from the board rules.

 

LOL...when Kalikas not around I improvise!

lol....Tangles

Great minds think alike!!!!

What brand of hair do you use?  I'm only an hour away from you.  I do my own extensions, but I'd love to come check out your work!

Hello Everyone,

Kelina found this forum and was excited to join your community, she then asked me to view a few posts on this board I did but told her I wouldn't post, but when I read the responses to her thread I felt I had to. First of all let me start by saying Kelina is a newbie when it comes to forums but not the business. I explained to her that spamming was not allowed, she understood and changed her post. I want to take the time to thank Bird Of Eden for her respectful response and question. We should be about the positive and helping each other. I am also a fusion specialist with many years invested in this business and my thread (not on this forum, but started july 2004) has at least 36000, views and over 260 replies so I know my way around the forum and the hair fusion world, I also realized a long time ago that when you free your mind sucess always follows. There are some talented stylist on this board for example, there is a thread on this forum reguarding coloring Remy Indian Hair, now that is imformative, helpful and educational and I am proud to say that myself and my colleagues conducted the same tests on the hair that we use to ensure it was virgin hair (not many stylist think on that level) My point being, that is the real definition of great minds thinking alike.... Going that extra mile for the client....

Thank You

Valencia

Damn, beat me to it

And Im all for new people joining, thats the point!  But NOT to advertize, we've had enough of that.  This isnt to expand your own business though the forum, but to learn, communicate, and share ideas and expireances.  Plus everyone should have the simple respect to read the FAQ at the very top.  Thats all

Thank you Kalika.  I very much appreciate your diligence and your eagle eyes. 

Thank you also to Tangles & Sherrie.  I appreciate all of your for sending me reports and for helping me catch these posts.  Ironically or not, the most ads pop up on Hair Extensions.  I do get a few on Celebrity but for the most part they are here.  :-)

Kelina, will your fusion last 6 months?

Hello everyone, I have been to Valencia's website and she is also a friend of mine. She and I have spoken on the phone and posted on the board for ladies who need the knowledge to prevent bad mouthing of the hair fusion/extension business. She is cool people and does beautiful work.We are all hungry so let's Share the knowlege not the ignorance.Have a beautiful day.

[QUOTE=kelina]  in my experience I have noticed alot of incompetent work. My goal is to arm the clients with as much information as possible, and to offer as much information as I can to ensure that the client is educated enough to prevent hair breakage or loss from work done by imposters.

TO THE CLIENTS, please arm yourself with as much information on this method of extensions before getting the service done. I have done so much corrective work so I am now here to protect and serve. Again, feel free to ask any questions.

i couldnt agree with you more-

like i said in my first post to you-

Welcome to our community!

 

Shiry Thank You for your reply....

And to answer the six months question. I don't recommend that you leave fusion bonds in your hair any longer than 4 months. The strongest point of the hair is at the root and if left in too long the bond can cause stress on the hair as the hair grows, not to mention our natural hair sheds and replenish itself on a regular basis and needs to be released before it matt or dreads.

Thank You

Thanks Valencia for answering the questions for me as I would have yet I just reviewed the forum. I appreciate your responses also Valencia for the proper explanation that I was not trying to take anyone's clients or cause any altercations. Just merely to share my knowledge.

Hello Ladies,

I know the six month comments where meant for me. FYI I have been in this business for close to 20 years and have performed fusion extention services for close to 10. I no longer advertise on any media because there is a two month wait to get on my book complete with a waiting list and believe it or not I no longer offer basic services, I send my clients to a local stylist after they receive my fusion service that way we all win. I also have several successful students across the country whom I am very proud of. There is no need to question my credentials just ask. This is a serious business and I don't have time for games. My goal is to help educate the clients as well as newbies, I have done a ton of corrective work and I hope to cut those numbers through knowledge.

Thank You

Valencia

What kind of fusion do you use?

[QUOTE=metalgirl]What kind of fusion do you use?[/QUOTE]

 

I use a keritin protein based fusion bond because not only can you perform all of your basic haircare needs :color, relax, perm, moisturize with the system in place but removal is easy and not damaging..I also pre-tipp my hair by hand to ensure each hair strand is embedded in the bond and that prevents shedding. I also hate those one size fit all systems....I am able to cut my bonds custom to each client.

I never use polywax....That stuff can ripp the hair out during the removal process

Thank You for your response
