Once you have made the decision to get hair extensions, you must start looking for a stylist that has experience with extensions. The experience of the stylist is very important to the outcome of your hair extensions. Most damage to the hair occurs during the removal of the extensions.
You should definitely spend some time looking for a stylist and researching his or her qualifications before signing any sort of agreement. Since hair extensions are still a relatively new service, most salons and stylists will make you sign something that pretty much says if anything goes wrong (like all your hair falls out) that they are not responsible.
In some cases you won't know how your hair handles hair extensions until they are attached. You could have perfectly healthy hair before extensions and perfectly damaged hair after.
Here are a few tips for finding the right stylist.
1. Go with recommendations. If you know of someone who has extensions, schedule a consulation with his or her stylist.
2. Search the Global Hair Resources Directory located at www.hairresources.com/salons.asp
and http://www.hairresources.net/salons.htm
3. Call all the major salons in your area and ask if they offer hair extensions. Then check out the salon online by typing the name in the search engine box.
4. Check with the better business bureau in your area to see if any complaints have been filed against the salon.
It is recommended that you schedule 2-4 hair extensions consulations so that you can compare the methods and prices for the service. Visit Hair Extensions Exposed for more details on finding a salon

Nice post, but I say you could skip the salon all together!
I don't know if you've heard of Quick Lengths or Hollywood Highlights, but they invented a new application/installation method that is pretty cool. It is a pressure lock system (sounds kinda technical but its essentially a rubber bead that you thread your hair through and plug a single strand extension in the other end.)
More salons are starting to use this method because there are no chemicals that damage the hair and they can be put in/ taken out in seconds. They have Remy hair and synthetic hair in just about every color.
These things are so easy you could save yourself the time and money and skip the salon all together by getting one of your girlfriends to help you put them in.
Spirit Strands - This is for the fun colors
Quick Lengths - This is the main site with the premium hair
Cheers!
