    Default extentions in vegas?

    Like an idiot, I chopped off my hair after a bad relationship, and it's affecting my money. Who has gotten extentions in Vegas?

    LOL! Yes, I could if you want. I did some simple glue in tracks for Kaylinn (although I'm not sure she ended up liking extensions ). But if you want I could do something. I've also done fusion a number of times and I make clip in tracks.

    OMG Guen, I HATED them after the first day!
    By no fault of your own...but the next day I had a photo shoot in a pool. SO the chlorine in my hair was inevitable.They started falling out in hours of that shoot. I also had to wear a wig for it, so that may have helped loosen them.
    It took me 4 hours to curl it all and make it look nice, and Im a perfectionist, that slight color difference drove me crazy. And sleepign on them...I couldnt find a comfortable position, unless I stayed on my side. I hate anythgin touching me when I sleep, I need to be completle free, I sleep naked....and thoes tracks on my scalp drove me nuts!!

    Then I went to a salon to get it cut a little more, and he tightened the loose tracks with microrings instead of glue( he didnt ask me, he just did it, then tried to charge me $50 for the rings I didnt ask him to use, and he only used 4 of them)
    Anyway, he put a few of the rings way, way to tight, and put one right over a pimple on my scalp, so it hurt like a bitch! I actualyl had my boyfriend CUT the rings out I was in so much pain and frustrated and couldnt figure out how to get them out, and I wanted it off right now! Cause they hurt so bad.
    We ended up taking them out that night. So they lasted 3 days?
    And for the shoots I wanted them for....
    One shoto I wore a wig, and the other I wore a hat. So I didnt even need them!
    Grr! LOL.
    It was nothign you did wrong, I just hated having thoes tracks in my hair. I CRAVED itchign my whole entire scalp. They drove me crazy!

    Damn K! You need to get some balls and speak up when you're in the salon! I used to not say anything, but after that awful haircut I've told you about, I've taken to saying this before I even sit in the chair, "Please do exactly what I ask b/c if I'm unsatisfied, I will not pay for this." Don't say it snotty, just say you've had some bad experiences. They keep this in mind when wondering if you'll notice that extra half inch or more they cut off or charge you for a service you didn't ask for. They already know you are assertive and you don't have to worry about seeming like a bitch after the fact. I've discovered when it comes to your hair sometimes you have to get your inner bitch on or you won't be happy with it.

    Of course, if I'm returning to a stylist/colorist I don't say something like that. But I've only had one ever in the entire history of my hair that I return to.

    I will start saying that.

    I just noticed how incredibly uneven my hair is, that is why I bitch about not being able to style it right. Its way uneven, The top layer on the left side of my head is chin length, the right side it is cheek length. Totally mismatched. Thre are bottom layers shorter than upper layers....all fucked up.
    Scared to get it fixed cause I dont want it any shorter.

    Anyway....
    Sorry bout the threadjack. I know you guys have all heard enough of my hair by now

    That's what I was thinking, lol!!

    I can't believe he just put them in without even asking! I would have refused to pay and told him to remove that crap!

    Extensions aren't for everyone, some people just DO NOT like them in their hair or on their head!

    That's interesting. The pic showing the glue bonds is icky! That's not what it looks like when I do it, mine look similiar to the pic of the links. I just can't imagine having all that metal on my scalp, that would drive me insane!

    ^^Ew! I agree with you on the bonds. They aren't even aligned properly! Honestly, I can't imagine ever having any extensions attached to my head again. The weight, the upkeep, the cost, the damage...fuck it when clip ins are so easy.

    I had my extensions taken out at a salon called Curl up and Dye. Really cool salon, very, um, punk rock kind of place. It's on Buffalo and Alta at 450 S. Buffalo. (There are 2 locations, but they only do extensions at this one). I didn't get them put in again, but the guy who does them seemed to be very very good. I keep hearing he's he best in Vegas. Anybody else heard of this place before?

    A friend of mine got extensions there. They looked horrible!!

    Very obvious mullet, all tangly and nasty and matted, I suspect she did not care for them properly...but still, it scares me to go there.

    And I do nto think he is the best in Vegas. He is cheap, and I have called other salons, and when I tell them my budget, they have suggested curl up and dye, cause they are so much cheaper. To me....cheap sounds scary, when it comes to yoru hair.

    Sky------- go for tru lock extensions if you can find them. See if the person has a portfolio. They are cheaper than most fusion and are not bonded to your hair with keratin or glue. No glue!
    They are strand by strand however, so they look super natural.

    I think you should just do clip ins. How short is your hair?

    The back is shorter then the front -A-line-but it's basically shoulder length. I'm scared now, damnit. Got the Jessica Simpson clip in but it kept sliding.

    I think the clip in tracks are better. You can find them pre-made on ebay pretty cheap or make them yourself.

    You have to tease the hair a bit before you clip them to help them stay in! Do they look ok when they're in?
