I had 4 rows in the back and 4 on each side, and it looked amazing! The hair was un-real, just perfect!!! Even when I went to the spa to have my hair done on my wedding day they commented on how unbelievable my extensions were! I have naturally shoulder length hair and with the extensions and the shaping and layering she put into them I was able to have my extension when straight almost to my hips which in turn when it was curled for the wedding it stayed really long! I would definately recomend it to anyone who wants to have long hair!!! </P><P>Just out here in the lower mainland we don't have too many options for salon's that offer this, my hair didn't come from out here either, my hairdresser is actually a hair restoration specialist who also does extensions, she orders her hair from Europe, where she originally lived.Wed, 06 Aug 2008 10:20:14 GMTmontana007http://forums.canadianbride.com/Topic397575-5-1.aspxARE YOU SERIOUS!?!??</P><P>Sorry i just got really excited!

STOP RIGHT NOW! </P><P>Your getting so ripped off! I get extensions quite often. You go to a black hair store. They have tonnes of colours, sythetic and real. (I always get the real hair) It's usually $60-70 for the 18" hair. </P><P>Then I go to a black salon, and they do it there, in about 20-30 mins.</P><P>The girl that does mine charges me $20 a row to braid them in. 2 rows are generally good enough. ( I have had some girls braid them for $10-15/row)</P><P>All said and done, it runs me about $100 TOTAL. The girl that does my hair says the "Salons---usually white ones...." charge SO much more. They rip people off. It's true. My friend got her's done and it was $600. Look into it, seriously.</P><P>BTW, wasn't intending to seems rude with the "Black hair store, or white salon....)</P><P>Let me know how you make outWed, 06 Aug 2008 03:25:53 GMTwoodkelleyhttp://forums.canadianbride.com/Topic397575-5-1.aspxI am getting mine done out here in the lower mainland bc. The cost is $400.00 for the hair, its real not synthetic and is 18-24 inches. To put it in cause I want it weived and not glued in will be almost $300.00. So in total she told me it will be roughly $700.00 to $800.00 depending on how many hours it will take to put it all in.Thu, 05 Jun 2008 14:25:11 GMTmontana007http://forums.canadianbride.com/Topic397575-5-1.aspxWhere are you getting yours done???

ThanksThu, 05 Jun 2008 12:39:44 GMTNewBride08http://forums.canadianbride.com/Topic397575-5-1.aspxWell, I can't contain myself, I went to my hairdressers to get my roots done and have a final hair consultation before my extensions get weived in! They are real hair and its weived into little braids in my hair so I can still straighten it or curl it! I am sooooo excited!!!!!!!!!! I can't wait. Right now I have platinum blonde hair just below my shoulders and in two weeks it will almost be down to my waist!!!!!!!! Just in time for the wedding! </P><P>Has anyone else had extensions??? Any advice????? Ways to care for it, etc.Thu, 05 Jun 2008 10:31:54 GMTmontana007
