When you decide you want to get hair extensions you will need to find a hair salon that offers hair extension services. Sometimes this can be a difficult task. At HairResources.com we offer a complimentary service for helping to locate hair extension salons.
Below is a letter to the editor that we received, with our response listed.
Question: I am going on vacation in a few weeks and I want to see about scheduling a hair extension appointment while I'm gone. Can you recommend any hair extension salons? Also how much do they cost and how long will they last?
Answer: We can try to locate a hair extension salon for you near your vacation spot. You will
need to send the zip or postal code and city name. We do not handle making appointments at salons, but we can refer you to several hair extension salons so that you can set up a consultation.
Hair extensions can range from $800 - $5000 and more, depending on the quality of human hair that is used and the method that is used to attach the extensions. Hair extensions can last anywhere from 2-6 months--again depends on the method and hair. You will need to go back for maintenance visits and for removal/reapplication, so it is better to select a hair extension salon that is close to where you live. Also, sometimes a few extensions fall out and you may need to have them re-attached.
You should not rush into getting hair extensions. We recommend in our Ebook, Hair Extensions Exposed, that you schedule 2-3 hair extension consultations at several different places to get an idea of what type of extension would be best for your type of hair and your budget. Always read
carefully all the fine print in any contract that a salon requires you to sign for hair extension services. Things can go wrong with hair extensions and you need to know upfront how things will be handled if they
do.

Clip In Hair Extensions
Permanent hair extensions can be a little pricey. If you are really considering getting them, you might want to start out with the clip in version. Quality clip in hair extensions can last several years and have the great feature of being clippin in and out whenever you want.
There are many online stores that sell clip in hair extensions. Be sure to check out what type of hair is being used for the extensions. Cheaper hair will tend to matte and tangle easily. It is better to go with a more quality clip in so that you can wear it much longer.

Finding a hair extensions stylist
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

Hair Extensions aren't for everyone
Everyone wants to look trendy, especially when it comes to the hair. Wanting to get gorgeous long hair is very normal, but sometimes getting hair extensions may not be the best option for everyone.
If you hair is overly damaged or brittle, you may not want to get hair extensions. The extra stress that human hair puts on your roots can cause your hair to fall out. Probably you would like to have hair, even if it is damaged.
However, there are some hair extension methods that are specifically designed for damaged hair and you might want to go for a few consultations with a certified hair stylist just to check it out.
