Goddess Hair Extensions

My name is Emma and I am currently a student doctor at a local medical school and the middle aged mother of a little boy barely out of diapers. I also have Stage IV metastatic breast cancer- a devastating diagnosis, holding a prognosis of a 12% survival rate after 5 years..\r When I came to see Sheila, I was on my second year of chemotherapy. This time, it was a regimen that thinned your hair out, sometimes allowing it to fall out completely.. I looked much older than my stated age. Worse, I felt it, too. I used to be an energetic woman with a mane of luxurious, long red hair. I came in to see Sheila with a lot of doubts about having the energy to beat my disease and remain on the planet long enough to help my son grow up secure and happy. Sheila was a godsend. That boost in morale was a vital part of my cancer recovery and it made me feel like my old, invincible self.. As a student doctor, I can tell you the connection between mind and body is very strong and if you have a positive enough attitude, you can buy yourself a lot of time when it is combined with effective medical treatment. I feel Sheila is instrumental in buying me time. On the occasion that I have no money in my bank account, due to medical expenses; Sheila generously does “freebies” . She’s really a very kind, professional person, and her hair replacement concepts are exceptional because they do not damage, fragile hair that most cancer sufferers grow back during their illness.\r I am now currently free of active cancer lesions and part of this has been thanks to Sheila giving me that boost to my morale, making me feel attractive in spite of this horrible disease and lending me a degree of normalcy in a life that has the dark shadow of cancer hanging over it. Cancer doesn’t have to rob you of your beauty or your strength of spirit, which Sheila caringly demonstrates. As an immigrant to this country who has changed professions, I admire a fellow immigrant like Sheila who is working to improve the lives of others and effect a huge positive difference in their lives. In fact, Sheila Matechuk is not only changing lives with her work, she is saving them with a boost to the psychology and positive attitude of her clients who suffer from cancer. \r You can call and ask to speak to Sheila’s clients, and we will gladly respond with our very positive impressions.\r Sincerely,\r EmmaBK more

Sheila wants a monthly income from you to do your extensions. If you don't follow that schedule, she wants to ""redo"" your extensions for 750 (full head). This is outrageous! The true ""Loc"" system only needs moving up the extensions every 10 weeks. It never took Sheila more than 1 to 1.25 hrs to move mine up and that included her smoke breaks! But Sheila wants that monthly income, so she tells you you need to come in at 4, 5 or 6 weeks max. I just paid 600 for the installation and beautiful, european hair, for a full head, with maintenance every 10 weeks at no more than 100 for move up maintenance. Don't be sucked into Sheila's unscrupulous tactics and false claims. She's all about the money. more

I've been Sheila's client for over a year, and she has been a lifesaver. I suffer from a condition called trichotillomania (which results in my having lots of hair loss - imagine the shame and depression this causes in someone in her early 20s!), but Sheila has always found ways to make me pretty and let me lead a ""normal"" life with hair. It is sad for me to see a good person being attacked in this way, especially since she has really made an impact on my life. You can contact me if you have questions, since I know Sheila's clients all stand behind her. more

I got great service and great hair with Sheila's team. I have never felt more beautiful and more confident. The hair looks and feels natural and nobody knows its not real. I love it and plan on staying with Sheila and her team for years to come!! more

I don't understand why the complaints about Sheila can be so nasty. She is honestly a caring person and wants the best results for her clients. I've been happy with all the work done on my hair and continue to be a satisfied client. I'm more confident now that I have better hair and that's thanks to Sheila and her team. So I fully support Sheila and hope she overcomes these false complaints being made. Pros: Quality results Cons: kind of costly more

I took the hair extention class at Goddess Hair Extentions and it was the best hair extension class I've ever taken hands down. Sheila had more knowledge and brought more education in her class than any other previous classes I have taken. I was very impressed. I have been a stylist for over 8 years and met very successful stylist in my class. We were all wowed by Sheila, her knoweldge and the quality product. The extensions have brought a lot of profit to my business and I owe it all to her. If you are looking for an extention class, you ONLY need to go to Goddess Hair Extensions. She covers everything you need to know and is VERY helpful. I LOVED IT!!!!!!!!!!!! more

Sheila is not a phony nor a fake. She is absolutely the best hair extensionist in the bay area & I speak from experience as I've tried a few. My very 1st encounter with her began with an email inquiry. I expected a response a few days later but imagine my surprise when she wrote back 5 minutes later! She answered all of my questions & we arranged a consultation where we met in person. From there it was easy, we got the hair the same day (beautiful Bohyme/Remy 100% human hair) & the next day I was walking around with a head full of long, beautiful, silky straight hair. That was 3 years ago and while my own hair has now grown out to the length I want it, I still use some of the hair I got from Sheila as highlights, that's how good the quality of this hair is. I would highly recommend Sheila to anyone interested in getting hair extensions. Sheila is not a hair stylist-she has never claimed to be. What she is is a great hair extensionist that I would highly recommend to anyone interested in enhancing or changing their look with hair extensions. Sheila is truly a master at this craft!\r \r Pros: superior quality work Cons: pricey more

I had been wanting hair extensions forever! I lived in Los Angeles, hair extensions are everywhere there! But everywhere I looked was so expensive and the upkeep was crazy. Also, every method I saw was so damaging to hair. Then I came across Goddess Extensions (not to be confused with Goddess HAIR Extensions) they are located in the bay area. When I came for my initial consultation I was so excited and happy! Finally, I would be able to get hair extensions with paying an arm and a leg. They're so easy to care for, I just use Pureology and that extends the life of my hair. I've gotten so many compliments and the best part of all: the extensions look soooo natural. When I came across the negative comments about Sheila I was upset because people who don't know her or know about her business might be turned away by a negitive ad that has absolutley NO CREDABILITY. All you have to do is make an appointment to see them and see for yourself how awesome they are. I stand behind them and their work. My before and after pictures are on their website. I am a REAL client of theirs and will continue to be! Pros: Convenient hours and location! Cons: None!!!! more

Sheila is FANTASTIC! I have had Great Lengths, Dreamcatchers, etc. and Sheila did the BEST job ever! She TEACHES people how to do these wonderful extensions. Your hair will look wonderful! Sheila is so talented, professional, fast and fair! The hair is human, multi-highlighted, beautiful and she does an individual job that you will love!! You will have a beautiful head of hair that NO ONE will know you have extensions. Sheila is the best. It is awful this lady is lying about her and slandering her. Sheila, you are amazing and I'm so sorry this is happening to you--God Bless! Pros: individualized, talented, natural-looking, high-quality hair more

These people should be banned from doing hair. Would not recommend them. It cost me more to correct the damage they did. more

I was very nervous when checking around to get hair extensions, and Elena, the receptionist at Goddess Extensions was very knowledgeable and kind. She gave me many options-and there is a huge wealth of information on their website-I was really happy that they also *only* do extensions, because they are really quick and amazing at what they do. My hair is three different colors, and it blended perfectly-I was really pleased with the results, and the price was the best I found as well... more

I have had the glue in extensions before, which were really damaging, and Sheila was amazing-She was very honest about all the methods that are out there, and which one would be best fo me -the locs, which can be reused, rather than thrown away like the fusion. I have been with her for 2 yrs and my hair has grown back and is healthy again! Goddess rocks! more
