Paris Hilton Dream Catcher Extensions

I just received this month's copy of Modern Salon, and in it is an article and a huge  full page ad for a new hair extension company with Paris Hilton as the spokesperson.

Well considering her fondness for extensions, I'm not suprised she'd jump into the buisness (or atleast license her image for it)

I looked at this site and it says a full head installation takes only 2 1/2 hours.  Seems like it must incorporate wefts with the cylinders in order to get a full head done that fast, right?

i checked the site- i called them. they work out of an office building, they would not say what the cylinders are made out of only that u must come in for appointment, they said they use scandanavian hair, virgin blonde hair, the strands installed are $10 PER strand. so roughly over $1,000 for 100 strands.

Thanks for taking the time to call them, Tangles.

Looking at Getty or other image sources that show her out and about with the actual dates of the photos, she's never sportin the same length for an extended period of time. It goes long, short, medium, long, medium, long, long different color, short, medium different cut, etc. and this happens within a short period of time. The same extensions can't go medium to long and then short back to medium within the same week or two so she's replacing the hair very quickly. Yeah, she's got the money to do it but looking beyond that, is she doing it because she can or because she has to?

They want to really get some clout with the everyday working stiffs who typically keep hair in at least two months, Paris needs to obviously have the same hair in for a reasonable amount of time to show the hair and method has got some staying power.

Sweeeeeeeeeeet shop, though.

I do not care if it is a penny per extension...I would never use or buy anything with Paris's name on it!

I'm with you, milachkaa.  I was in Macys not too long ago and saw a cute little purse.  Then I saw her name on it.  It wasn't cute anymore.  To me, any brand with her name on it says just what South Park said:

lol such a classic episode!

OK now I can't stop laughing.  I watched the video...where's Hugh Hefner?  I halfway expect to hear bow chicka bow bow...but love love love the running in the water.  What a horrid video!  "With our hair extensions you can flip your hair, run in the water, have many friends but you must flip your hair constantly".  ha ha ha 

So, has anyone used them that you know of? If they're "recrimped" that sounds like a microlink or something. Hmm. The quality has to be great, being from Europe, but Euro So Care is also from there and it's only $1.50 per strand!! Obviously, it's for the people that just want the name. The hair would be the same as I use, just waaayyyyy more expensive! Anyone here use it?? I'd like to know more hands on info about it, just to know. Thanks!

Anyone???

It's sad too how many people are really disinformed about the cost, not to mention quality, of hair extensions and would probably pay that price and think they got a great deal!

I currently do both Great Lengths and So-Cap bonded extensions in Lake County IL and I am going to Beverly Hills Ca in May to Learn the new Dream Catchers Extensions featuring Paris Hilton.   I have had it in my head that these tube extensions are much more dammaging than a natural protein bond, but I am going to go learn for myself and maybe change my outlook.  If nothing else get more clients from their brillant marketing techniques.  I have been doing extensions for about 4 years and this year will do over 100 applications.  Learning so many different companies allows me to intermix the placement patterns to give the most natural look possible. So I will post once again after I take the class and let you all know what i think. 

Vickimillard, how do you like the So Cap? I do the Euro Co Cap. I love them.

What is the difference between So Cap and Euro So Cap?

I think there were two brothers and they split and now each have their own gig. I am certified in Euro So-Cap. The hair is awesome and they lay completely flat against my head! You'll have to google the rest, about each of them. That's just what the one brother told me who put mine in, in Chicago.

I love socap.  The bonds stay so strong without any protein spray. I think it looks more natural than Great lengths because the hair kinda thins out on the ends.  Great lengths stays full the whole way down, so if you are doing a whole head lengthning it gets thinner like real hair.  If the client wants a whole thick head of hair from scalp to ends I go for Great lengths.  The ends of the so cap hair is bad and has lots of splits I usually need to cut about 4 inches off, but it comes in 18-20 inch and most people want about 16 inches.  Great lengths is harder to blend when you layer it because it is so think from top to bottom. Since so cap thins out you don't see the 200 ponytail look as much at the bottom when you cut.  The best thing you can do is get certified by many companies so you can get the best result for each guests needs.  Because their placement methods are totally different too and what will work for one client won't for another.

Exactly. We need to know what is out there and how and where to get it and how good it is. So, do you flatten out your So-Cap xtensions? That's what I do. It lays totally flush with their scalp. You can't tell they're in.

Yes, I do flatten out my bonds on the top area and front area.  I feel that the section of hair lays more camoflauged instead of bunching with a round bond like a mini pony tail.  I have still noticed that after four months all the flat bonds are gone when I go to take the extensions out, so I do still do round bonds in the bottom... I feel they have more longevity, and I cut them nice and small so they aren't too bulky.

split end huh- did u catch my episode?

Yes I did catch your episode with tangles salon.  Who are you on the episode?  I am so happy to hear from you cause I wanted to know more about those extensions. 

I'm thrilled for you guys that you have such an awesome opportunity like that! Anyways, vicki, what round bonds do you still use besides the flat ones?
