Attending your First Hair Show

Posted by Justin Trombetti on December 20, 2013

Hair shows are a “must” for any stylist, at least once during your career. It’s a time to network with other stylist, learn new techniques and skills and to discover new products. It’s also a great opportunity, if you’re showcasing a booth, to meet potential customers face to face and introduce them to your product. Each industry trade show is unique, but all offer various classes for show attendees. Some are free while others require pre-resignation and a small fee. Whether you want to learn a new extensions technique, or the latest techniques in nail design, there are classes for...

Controlling your Cowlicks

Posted by Justin Trombetti on December 06, 2013

No one’s is immune to cowlicks. We’ve all got them. The whorl on the crown of your head? That’s a cowlick. Some people have them on their forehead or on the nape of their neck. Essentially, a cowlick is when a section of hair grows in a different direction from all the hair around it, and it can make styling a massive headache. We've heard of people actually resorting to plastic surgery to change the growth pattern of their hair and get rid of their cowlicks. Though an effective strategy, we don’t think everyone should need to take to such...

Just because it’s 10 degrees below zero, fashion and style don’t have to take a back seat. Your hair can still look beautiful and healthy if you take some extra steps to protect it.

How many hair extensions do I need for a full head?

Posted by Justin Trombetti on August 12, 2013

How many hair extensions you need for a full head depends on several factors, but generally you can count on 3 to 9 packs of hair for I-Tip and Fusion and 3 to 7 packs for Tape-In. (I-Tip and Fusion packs come with 20 strands per pack; Tape-In packs include 10 wefts per pack, since wefts contain more hair than strands.) When deciding on how many extensions to order for yourself or for your client, you need to take into account the current length and thickness of the natural hair, as well as the desired length. With too few extension pieces,...

Single Sided Tape for Highlights

Posted by Justin Trombetti on July 08, 2013

Single Sided Tape is great for full head hair extension installations but this new product is also perfect for highlights because it’s so discreet and undetectable. Plus, it’s more cost effective because you can use only one weft per section! Tape-In Extensions can also be placed higher up on the head with Single Sided Tape, making them ideal for adding highlights. You can do a subtle ombre effect by placing the wefts on the bottom two or three layers or hair or work the contrasting color throughout the hair. If you want to add a lot of body and volume...
