Is it how you feel? Yes? Have no fear, you are not the only one. It seems that every day, a new hair extensions business is created making it difficult for you, the consumer, to choose the one for you. Finding your hair extensions technician is like a romantic relationship: you want it to work! In order to stop scratching your head in disbelief and start loving your hair again, let me give you 5 fool proof ways of find your very own hair hero!- Start searching: there are so many ways to look for a qualified hair extensions technician nowadays that it almost serves it all on a platter for you. The most popular search platforms are Google, Facebook, Gumtree and even Instagram!
- Check our their photo gallery: Once you think you’ve found your hair extensions superstar, look up their work pictures. Do you like what you see? Does it match the results you are looking to achieve? However, beware: unfortunately too many hair extensions technicians who are looking to attract clientèle “steal” pictures from the internet or other fellow colleagues thinking they’ll never know. So if the photo looks familiar, it’s probably not the person’s work.
- Website: A hair extensions technician’s website should be informative and detail the methods they offer to potential clients. It should be more about what’s in it for you rather than what’s in it for them.
- Go for a consultation: This is the perfect way to check someone out. Your technician should be knowledgeable and should be able to answer pretty much any question you ask (cut them some slack though; they might not know EVERYTHING, but should have a decent knowledge).
- Ask for certificates: that’s an awkward step, but totally understandable, especially if you are dealing with a hair professional who is mobile or works from home. It allows you to see that you are dealing with a person who has received training, but it also allows you to see how long this person has been qualified for. Don’t hesitate to ask for how long they’ve been doing hair.
Follow these steps and you should be okay on your next hair adventure.
