How to choose hair extension stylists

Choose Your Hair Extension Stylist Wisely

There are many important factors you must consider before choosing your hair extension stylist. Getting hair extensions is not like getting your hair cut or even colored. Attaching and removing hair extensions requires a certain amount of skill and training. If the stylist you select doesn't have the proper training you could end up with empty pockets and damaged hair.

Here are a few guidelines to selecting your stylist:
1. Schedule at least 3 hair extension consultations.
2. Verify that the stylist has the credentials/training they say they do.
3. Get at least 3 references from each stylist and call them all.
4. Read every little word on any contract they give you.
5. Ask exactly what happens if something goes wrong.
5. Call the Board of Cosmetology in your state to verify the stylist does have a cosmetology license and check if any complaints have been filed against him/her.
6. Check with the Better Business Bureau to see if any complaints have been filed against the stylist of salon.
7. "Google" the salon/stylist and hair extension method.
8. Visit Hair Extension forums and check if anyone has mentioned the stylist or salon.
9. Take notes during your consultation so that you can better compare salons/methods later.
10. NEVER NEVER sign a contract during the consultation. Always go home, do research and homework and read the contract in full before signing.

Hair Extensions Banned

Tell us what you think about banning hair extensions

What would you do if you found out that hair extensions were banned at your school or office?

It was recently reported that in Liberia, students were banned from wearing hairpieces and hair extensions at school. Also banned were any revealing clothing, such as very short skirts, shorts and tops.

Officials in Liberia have mentioned the reason behind the ban is that girls were not focusing on their studies, instead wanting to go to the bathroom and look at and mess with their hair.

Maybe the ban seems a little extreme compared to the standards in the United States. What are your thoughts? Please leave your comments below.
