Micro links help!

[Lusciouslocks]

Hello! Need abit of advice really, since completing my training I have not done micro links on any clients, I've always advertised this method but clients haven't got the trust for this method I've found because its not well known methods, today ive had a client ring up saying she wants me to do her maintance, I've cant even remember how to remove the link, is it the same as bonds or do I re-melt the link and slide the hair out.. Then obviously replace the bond. Can someone please help me for removal. Thank you

Honestly...stop advertising and refer the customer to someone who can do this service if you know someone or reply and say you do not work on top of other people's work. Do not risk your reputation, do not put a customer at risk when you have honestly admitted you don't know what to do.

I think you've misread my question.. I was trained in this method, but haven't done it since I trained. I still have my head the appointment isn't until next week so I am going to practise until then

Hunni i would cancel this client. There is no melting or even heat involved in micro rings.
Maybe get you manual back out, have a practice on a dolls head if you have one but don't touch a human head until your 100% sure of what your doing.
Stick with pre bonds if that's what your confident in chick x

As far as I knew micro rings are called rings, links, loops and locks?
same difference. I'm trained in rings and the ones I order come packages saying links? And no heat or glue is used?

No micro rings are the rings and micro links are the plastic kind of bond, its 2 completely different methods

Hiya hun, are you getting confused? as no heat is involved with micro links.
Shrink links is with heat if that's what you mean?

As the others said, cancel the client since someone else fitted them x

 

[Aphrodite26]

Same premise though? You crimp them closed and reverse crimp to open with pliers? No melting?

Okies got you, I don't maintenance much as I find they don't need it as they don't last as long.
I just check for matting, re do any that have slipped loads and replace missing ones. I tend to do full refit. However all my shrinkie clients have had them all for years x

So they are totally different to micro links! Which require no heat or glue. This is what I've been trying to say and the other poster. Micro links are the same as loops/rings/copper tubes.

Thank you for your help! Shes had them
in for 5 weeks and hasn't lost one she just wants them moving up, I've never done a fitting on them since training because my clients haven't been wanting to spend money on a method that dosnt last them long but if your clients are staying with them. I might try harder

Just a misunderstanding! In my training I was taught they was called micro links and Shrinkies for short, I've got this written in my training manual too, never mind got there eventually

Just because your qualified doesn't mean your capable, specially if you have admitted to not knowing. I'd be really concerned as a client if someone hadn't practised something many times before using me as a guinea pig. When I became qualified in extensions I practised for nearly 9 months before I took on any paying customers! Is it really worth taking on this one client if it all goes wrong? You have no idea what products have been used and how they are going to react if you source and didn't fit them in the first place. X
