You can go to xtras in Leeds or Wakefield they have extension 'specialists' they match the colour, have diff lengths to choose from and you can have them glued in for £50.

I've had them before but wernt great well the extensions were good but were rubbish cos i put em in myself and i dint have a clue. i used liquid gold glue which bloody lasts i tell yah!

Hi , heres an answer from a similar post you may like to read , also I really wouldn't reccomend putting extensions in yourself either , as you may end up with bald patches if they go wrong, :cry:
I too think its best to leave it to the professionals :hug:

Hi, personally if someone offers to do a five to six hour job for you at a very cheap rate do be careful as they may not be fully trained or fully insured,

All qualified hair extensionists have to pay hundreds of pounds for thier extension kit insurance costs and training costs ,
and most of them are highly qualified hairdressers
who offer blending and cuttiing as part of the extension service too so thay may not be cheap ,

a moblile extensionist may be able to offer slightly lower the prices than a salon
but they still had to pay out for training costs ect ...
so you may find that a good extensionists will not go too low as its their bread and butter and they are simply trying to earn a decent wage
just like everyone else,

as you know it takes around six hours work to put in hundreds of individual bonds , plus cutting and styling
A fully qualified and insured extensionist should be able to do this for you at a resonable rate,

with extensions the most expensive thing is the hair , and
if you haven't got good hair then its not worth putting them in at all ,
as they will just tangle and matt and have to be taken out again
so all that hard work of putting them in well , would be ruined

This is where an experienced fully qualified extensionist can advise you as they will know what hair is the best quality for you and will advise you on after care maintenence ect .....

I think word of mouth
and around a years experience or more is what you should look for in a hair extensionist

honestly , I have seen people lose clumps of their hair through bad extensionists
just ask few girls on here and they will tell you about some of the bad extensionist that they have fallen prey to

I think there is a place on here who advertise for guinea pigs for people who are training so that may help a bit ,
and as these people will be fully supervised and fully insured , so it may be a better and healthier option for your hair
than someone doing it who is cheap and perhaps dodgy
sorry about the epic lol x ,
but it may just warn others too about inexperienced dodgy cheap unqualified and uninsured hair extensionists who cause damage ,

Hope that made sense
