Re: Need Hair Extensions!!

I will most likely have to get them...my hair isn't too thick (Japanese Straightening)

I'm getting my extensions (Human Hair) through my Hairdresser, but I'm sure you can go to a Beauty Supply store or even ebay...

As far as how much - the actual hair isn't VERY expensive, but it also depends on how much you get, length, and other factors.

It's more expensive to have them actually put in (service) than the actual product.

Definitely suggest going to your hair dresser first though. That way you're sure they know how to do it, and what they can work with.

YES!!! I needed them for volume, I had my hair half up and half down, I got mine in the green acres mall upstairs next to sears they have a HUGE selection and they were 25 or 30 I cant remember and they have both synthetic or real hair- I was told to get the real ugh I cant remember the name it starts with a Y- I think called Yaki or Yuki, it styles the best. they are also really helpful there, I had to get 2 different colors b/c of my highlights and the girl there nailed it!!! My hairdresser was so right to go there!! I had mine bonded on and it lasted for a week- I pulled them out- it was annoying me after awhile, DH loved them!! you just soak your hair in shampoo and they come off. I had them put on the day before the wedding- it takes like 1 1/2 hours to put on. HTH

forgot to add cost of putting them in 40 and my hair is long too!!

Jenn the Hair Genie is putting them on for the me the day of.

the day of???? OMG I cant even imagine that- to put mine in took 1 1/2 hours and then the next day - the wedding day it took no joke 2 hours- to style hair for the wedding. Is your hair short? I could not sit in a chair that long the day of the wedding and then you have makeup too!!!! Is she getting the hair for you and did she match it to your hair allready? I had to go back twice b/c of my highlights- before the wedding I had them touched up and the toner changed the color so I had to go back and get more- you have to bring them to your hair dresser to see if the color matches perfectly. once you get the ok then youre good to go. oh and dont forget the glue- you need that, dont depend on your hairdresser, things happen.

Girly - did you get them put in at that location? I want to do the same thing because I have thin straight baby-fine hair. I am having an am wedding, so I can't do them the day of.

You might want to ask her if she has them. My stylist had some, which I'll use the day of. Even if she doesn't have the right color, you can see how they look, then after you've decided on the style, go buy the extensions to match.

Re: Need Hair Extensions!!

Hi I had the same style as the picture shown, just not as long- but my hair was pulled up just like that. Yes my hairdresser did it in the salon. I had to go to her for my hair and went to different salon- right up the road for makeup. Yea, I would rec NOT to do it the same day- your hair is tugged and pulled and you want them to dry well before the big day too. Its also good to get used to the feeling BEFORE the wedding day. I wish I could find my day of hair, I didnt take any putting them in , I hope my DH didnt erase them off the digital camera! My hairdresser also after they were put in, did a slight trim to make it look even more natural- NO ONE knew I had them in and when I told them they were like no way let me see- I would def get them again just to get them.

Color the extensions, good question but I dont think so since they had me go back and get the color that matched my hair after the touch up. edited to say- wait till you see how many colors there are and lengths its insane!!!!

Anita,

My hair dresser does them...she's really good, she's on 2nd Ave and 72nd Street...FM me if you need further info...you want to make sure that you get the extensions either the day before or a couple of days before the wedding. They take time to attach them...
