My first individual incident with hair extensions was overwhelming. It occurredto me back in 2008 in a hair salon in Queens near my home, that are increasinglyendorsing themselves as the best for hair extensions. I
I am truly terrified tomention their name. I can see in several sites in the internet that they arealways threatening a person who tells the true about them. When I meet her I clearlytold her that I just want longer hair and a little bit of volume,
I also askedher to do not get offended but I did not like her hair style, it seemed toomuch hair, very fake. That woman,( that I cannot call hairstylist because obviouslyshe does not know what she is doing) totally destroyed my hair by the heat andthe metal rings she used to attach that horse horrible hair. She did not only destroymy hair that was nonstop falling in my hands, but also changed my hair texture!
The only problem with my hair is that it never grows enough as I would like,also I like volume, but the texture of my natural hair is beautiful silky andthe hair she added to me was the worst driest, horsy hair! I ended up looking exactlylike her, which is exactly what I did not expect to have.
She also took mymoney in advance. When I complained, she was not interested at all if I was happyor not. I was afraid to further complain, she had a very malicious face so Ileft feeling embarrassed to walk around.
Other salon in the same area removed the extensions, and they commented methat they are having many customers coming with similar experiences like minefrom the other salon. I ended up with my hair short like a boy hair and it tooka whole year to grow a little bit. It was so devastating for me, that I startedin 2010 to investigate as much as I could about hair extensions and give itagain a chance, with the wonder of finding good hair extensions. I was veryfrustrated to see that over and over again the place that ruined my hair was inthe top of the search results.
In middle of 2010 I was very lucky to meet a friend of my friend that wasusing hair extensions from a Madison Avenue Salon. When I told her my pastexperience she told me that she was very happy with her extensions and thesalon staff where she is going from over a year. I was so lucky! Finally I havehealthy long hair that is giving all I wanted length and volume without looks fake,it is exactly my hair texture or probably better! Do not get ripped off, do notget your hair damaged as happened to me, this is the only hair extension salon to go, everything else is an scam.
