How to Choose Your Ideal Hair Stylist.

One of the best ways to find your ideal hair stylist is to ask your friends, family members, co-workers, acquaintances, and people in your social circle about the hair specialist that they use to get their beautiful hair done.

Now, what if your friends and family have hair that is not like yours? Then if you see a stranger with great hair style that you admire, hunt her down and find out from her who did such a wonderful job on her hair.

You will be surprised to learn that most people will be flattered and ready to drag you to their salon to meet this hair specialist that does wonders on their hair.

Don’t just pick out anyone from the salon because  the salon has a good reputation, instead pick an individual hair stylist you are comfortable with.  One that you feel very comfortable with.

Look inwards first. Do you know that you are wonderfully made? So your hair is unique and your friendly neighborhood hair specialist, better understand that. Do you know your hair? Was your hair color treated, how did you like it?

Do you have hair extensions or perms? Your hair stylist has to be a specialist on styling your kind of hair. You hair specialist must know how to work with your specific type of hair and styling.

What if you found some hair styles in some hair magazine that you fancy? Does this person have the experience to duplicate your inspiration. Do you know his/her satisfied clients? Does your fancy neighborhood hair stylist have a portfolio, even referrals? Think!

Now is the time for research. Would you trust your hair or person to a stranger? Who is this person that you are going to trust your look with? Find out all you can about your potential hair specialist. Where did they get their training from?

Importantly, whom have they worked with? If you have to do a background check on your potential hair specialist, please do it. In fact, we encourage you to. There are a few bad apples in every industry and the hair industry in not an exception. Now, can your hair specialist  meet your unique hair style requirements? It is your hair, your money and your choice.

Speaking of money, how much does your fancy stylist charge for your ideal hair style? Make sure that you are comfortable with the price and that it meets your budget before work is started. You will save yourself a lot of embarrassment at the checkout counter in front of other royals, divas and queens.

If you are still in doubt, why don’t you make an appointment for just a hair to heart consultation. It does not have to take more than 15-30 minutes for both of you to figure out what YOU are looking for.

This will you also give you the unique opportunity to see the salon, how clean or dirty it is. Wow, you also get to hear all the gossips, how your stylist treats the clients in there. This is time for both of you to check out each other.

After you’ve spent your time till now, and your heart and gut say you’ve found the right hair stylist, this is time to take action. Book your hair appointment. After you do, please take your pretty time and review all that you discussed with your hair specialist.

Remember, your friendly hair stylist sees a lot of clients with varying needs everyday. It is after all your hair, your time, your money. Take responsibility for the outcome.

If you hair stylist is one that wants to chat on the phone, make sure you make it known that your time is precious and that he/she needs to put the phone on vibrate or you are gone. I’ve seen hair stylists talk their personal lives away in front of strangers as if they cared, while taking forever to do the hair.

We hope that find you will find a hair stylist that you are comfortable with, your ideal one and for the outcome that will tickle your fancy. 

Who is your ideal hair stylist? We want to hear from you whether he/she is the BEST!

How is Remy Hair Processed?

Remy hair in India is collected from human donors who donate their hair to the Hindi temple in appreciation of what the person their God has done for them. The temple auctions the hair and the hair merchants bid on the bundles. After it is brought to the factory, it has to be cleaned, untangled and then prepared for shipment for your use.  

We can spend all the time in the world telling you about the process. Do you have the time? Nope! It is much better, you spend a few minutes, grab  some pop corn, your favorite wine and enjoy this video..
 

What Is The Difference Between ‘Remy’ and ‘Virgin’ as Used in Hair Extensions?

Remy
Remy hair (also spelled Remi) refers to the arrangement of the hair cuticles when the hair is processed. It does not refer to a brand of hair and no company that sells hair extensions has exclusive rights to the name.  It means that when the hair is processed, care is taken to make sure that all the cuticles of the hair are facing the same direction. “Root to tip" as is used in the industry.
The beauty of Remy is that you get hair that looks very natural in appearance. Additionally, Remy hair is very soft, shiny, silky, tangle-free and lustrous. No wonder it is considered the best form of hair extensions. Premium hair is usually Remy hair.


How about ‘Virgin’ Hair?

You know what the word ‘virgin’ means: a person who has not had sexual intercourse. It also means: free of impurity or stain, unsullied. As is used in the hair industry, ‘virgin’ means that the hair was processed with no chemicals, free from impurity, yes, unsullied. It means the hair was processed in its natural beauty and form.
