braids & extensions exotic but will I discourage the older wealthier clientele?
I am considering getting braids. My hair is a mix of blonde,drk blonde &light brown 3/4 down my back. I really want to get my hair braided but fear that it won't be appealing to the older clientelle. I think it will look exotic and different. Need help deciding!!!!
Your response is greatly appreciated!!!! Not corn rows but a whole lot of pinky size extending from my scalp.

Yes, it very exotic. I wear braids in the summer when I am not working, but I would probably not wear them in the club. I just prefer beauty pageant hair long, big, and glam. If it fits your personally go for it (rocker babe). I think different things appeal to different people. A few clubs I worked at would not allow them, or the baby doll two ponytail look. My opinion.....upscale club wouldn't try it. But maybe you will have that Bo Derek thang goin & get lots of $$$.

I think it also depends on your ethnicity. I'm trying not to be biased but I think that a lot more darker skinned girls get away with hair braiding as it is more accepted. I have seen some white girls who look da bomb in cornrows and braids but normally the darker girls get away with it more. The quality of the braiding and the upkeep of the extensions as well as style and colour choice is vital if you want a look to totally suit your look and personality.

Since your hair is light and I'm guessing you're white, then I say go for it! It will set you apart. I think light haired white girls and dark haired dark girls can pull it off, but the minute the contrast between hair and scalp gets too obvious it can look tacky. Just my opinion though :)

well honestly i think it would definitely turn off the older clients like miss G said. younger, funkier, punkier clients might find it really unique and sexy though. so you could lose some older clients, but gain younger ones. i wouldnt do thiis though b/c the older guys tend to have more $$$, and my club would not allow this anyway

Thanks so much for your imput! This web-site is awesome! I wish I had these kind of resources when I started dancing in 98'. I haven't danced for a while and will be going back for 10 days. I have to make a decision soon! I am no longer near the club so I will be flying in to work and visit......so I can't just take them out if it doesn't work. I just really like the idea of being unique and different from the rest of the crowd.
I am caucasion and tan with blue eyes. My bod is tight and I am also outgoing....I don't like the possibility of being judged just by my hair-do. Do you think a bright personality and good looks will make the richies look beyond the braids. I really want them!!! Now after reading the responces I am really debating whether or not to wait. You ladies rock!
I am going to rent "Ten" with Bo Derreck tonight!

You Know I think attitude and personality totally counts for something. I hate also being judged for silly superficial (sp?) bs. From your description, you sound really hot. I think you should go 4 it.......if it proves to be a turn off, then you can always change it........not that deep. Hey, I'm black....I bleach my hair blond every summer and it's 24 inches...........I get more money, it's different....now you go and be different.........Get them professionally done, don't go to a girlfriend. Good luck!!!!!!!!!

I always rock braids and I have worked everywhere. I haven't had them in for about a year now. But braids never prevented me from making the big bucks. Most of my clients are/were older white business men. I say go for it ! I also have natural blues and natural blonde hair..I really just depends on who you are and how you present yourself. I say go for it too ;D ;D
Be sure you let us know how you do..
xoxoxo,

i noticed when i was at the lumber yard( the local club in des moines there was a girl who had a clip on hair extention like the kind u pull your hair up in and clip it on she was doing VERRY WELL! she hit the vip room like 2 timeswhile i was there and was always giving private dances i got one from here and asked her nicley how much she avg a night and she said she has never made under a grand a night. so the hair is a good thing i think it makes her look linda like barbie, there are alot of clip ons on ebay for like 20 - 25$ and good ones 2 i orderd 2 and am waiting to see hoe good they are
