Hi .... with all due respect .... then if your not a hairdresser ...... you will struggle and worry about the the cutting .... and will always have trouble cutting and blending your extensions ,
you will learn to place them in to make them look ok or put colours together to make them look kinda blended
and they will always just look kinda ok !.....but they will never quite have that professional swish and finish to them,
plus your clients and others will notice they lack that certain natural swish and movement about them .... which only a professional hairdresser can achieve by cutting and blending hair extensions so the hair has versatility to style and re style it with ease ....
Hair extensions are so much harder to cut than a clients normal head of hair .... every little step in the cut will show up if you don't know what you
are doing .
It is not possible to learn enough cutting techniques or be able to master them in such a short time ....
cutting is an art,
and no two heads of hair extensions are ever the same , a lot of the cutting and blending has to be done by eye which takes training and experience .... cutting hair extensions requires so much more attention to detail where no one can afford to make a mistake with hair that costs such a lot of money and takes so much time to install
All would be hair extensionists should take persianista luclelastix and hopefully my advice too ;
Go and get trained up as a professional NVQ hairdresser first so you can be confident in all the cutting techniques and the knowledge and understanding that goes hand in hand with it ....
If you have the flair for hair extensions .....then you will also have the flair for learning to cut and blend properly .
NVQ in hairdressing is the best way to go
Plus if you do not get a good hair supplier your exentsions will just matt and tangle and you will find yourself knee deep in client complaints all wanting refunds .....
A lot of people may think oh hair is hair and as long as its top grade this or that or it is remi human hair .... so it will be ok .... but this is NOT SO !! .... you need to know the pitfalls about hair too
remi / remy hair and hair grades AAA are just words often used by manufactures to help you part with your money.
Also If you are going to learn from a company who also apply extensions to their own salon clients .... and you find they don't get complaints ..... and you may wonder why you do.... ( I mean you followed all their recommendations
and you have a list of hair suppliers )... but !... they may not reveal all the very best hair suppliers to you
you may find a lot of professional extensionists wont tell you much about sourcing good extension hair .... unless you are a fully qualified hairdresser!
Good extension hair is reusable and can last for years ....
it should take minimal aftercare and styling and should be easy to care for .... just like caring and doing your own hair .....
If the actual hair it takes up way too much time commitment and too much aftercare is required .... then its simply bad hair .....hth minky
