Hair extensionist looking for someone else to fit hair or tips on doing it myself.. - 21-10-09, 01:06 PM

Hi all,

I am a hair extensionist myself and I am wanting some hair fitting next week, I think I might struggle to do the micro ring method on my own head and I have quite thick, healthy hair so I don't want to risk ruining it by having hot glue again (this is how I fitted my own before)

Is anyone available in the West Yorkshire area that can do me a good offer on either you providing me the full service or me buying the hair and you fitting it?

Like I say I would like it done next week as I am going away for the weekend so I know its a rush job!

Thanks in advance

A 3 way mirror in front, a full length one behind and a top that is contrasting in colour for when you cut it.

On a serious note - that is actually how I do mine but i wouldn't recommend it unless you have to. I've been doing my extensions (and cutting them) for a few years because I am such a control freak with them and I also have ultra fine hair and i was left with bald spots by a couple of stylists trying to put too much hair on the bond and incorrect sectioning....
I hope you find someone around your way - If you can - supply them with the hair. It's a great way of testing out new hair. I won't use it if i haven't given it a 3 month appraisal on me!

wouldn't like to advise anything as that is against the rules of this forum...

I dunno how close to Leeds you are> Hair extensions Leeds Classifieds - Gumtree

if this doesnt help change the city at the top to a closer one... people are looking for models and mobile extensionists which will prob help!

I wish some people lived in London more! I woulda fitted for free aslong as I get the favour returned! x

ha ha yeah how can it be against the rules if I'm fully qualified? Never mind, maybe you didn't notice that bit.

Funny thing is half of the ads on that link you posted are mine!

I've decided just to go ahead and fit my own, people were messing me around, I think they were worried about giving up their profit! I've chosen some with the loops already attached so at least that will make it easier for me, and I'll get to test out the hair at the same time.

Hey Minky,

Nice to hear from you again, I had ordered some hair for myself with the loops attached to make it easier, but I think they have got held up n the strike!! I wanted them in for my weekend in the lakes next week so fingers crossed.

I had a look at your photos on another thread, that brown hair looks gorgeous, I think after this set of extensions are done I may come to you and test out that hair? How much would that be do you think?

Hi Katie, thank you its nice to see you again too

the brown hair you see below is the very same Pure virgin hair hair weft in all the photos I just softly permed and coloured it for the client to match her hair

The above brown hair weft has been softly permed then lightened two stages with wella blondor and 6% (a runny mix)
then coloured deep red with rich wine stargazer semi ,
so just got to pre bond it all for now the client, then I will post the end result of my client on here ,
but it will also need styling into nice bigger curls or scrunch dried , the client has deep coloured cherry red naturally curly hair to match

The red hair above (was) the brown hair weft but I softly permed and coloured it a deep cherry red to match the clients own hair

The Pure natural virgin hair weft in the above top photo comes in the natural brown colour and priced fifty five for 100 grams of 20 inch weft or bundle hair and is enough to make a whole head of pre bonded or stick hair
just pm me if anyone wants details x minky
