We did Hairdreams hair extensions at the salon I worked at in Dallas. They were crazy expensive, but, looked amazing! Every girl that had them done had terrible hair. Overprocessed, dying, fryed hair. I think the longest hair was just below shoulder length. They would come in with hideous hair and leave with beautiful, long, thick hair! The ones we did can (and did) last up to six months if they're taken care of correctly. One of the stylists had them in her hair, and, loved them. She colored, straightened, and cut hers once she had them in. She would wear it down, curled, straight, in a ponytail, braids, etc. We sold special shampoo and conditioners and brushes, too, that helped to care for the hair. It was hair from India, I believe. They called it virgin hair, meaning that up until it was cut and sent to the company, it had never been cut or anything before. These extensions were bonded to the natural hair, though, not sewn. It was a bond that was made out of ingredients found in the hair (I can't remember what, though, sorry). But, the best part about it, is that while you wear the extensions, your natural hair is growing and is able to "take a break", and, when these girls were removing the extensions, their natural hair was so much healthier! I don't know what kind of extensions you were thinking of getting or what is available to you in your area, but, I know that most of the good ones are expensive. It cost over $1000 for the women that did it in the Dallas salon I worked at, but, we were really "high end" and were located in uptown Dallas, so, that was normal there. They charged for the hair, of course, which isn't cheap, and, also an hourly fee (I wanna say the girl where I worked charged $100 or $150 or something like that). The work is really tedious, and, would take anywhere from three to five hours to put them all in. It was crazy to watch. Anyway, I think they're awesome and if you get good ones, and, follow the instructions on the care of the extensions, I think they're worth it.
