Learning new skills

I have a girlfriend who has her hair colored by me and her extensions done by someone else, because the other stylist has created her own "Special" way of applying extensions. I looked them over, thought it out, then tried it on Liv, my faithful doll head (Whom Dave HATES) and surprisingly it turned out awesome. I have been trained to do Racoon hair extensions which are bonded using a resin. The new way I just learned (Or taught myself) uses micro beads and the extensions are sewn on top. The picture below is Brittany Lyons (Lynn's sister) we did a full head of Racoon extensions.


It's really fun doing extensions because you can completely transform the way someone looks. I'm excited to try this "New" way on a real person!

If you ever need practice---------------and are back in Utah, I would LOVE to bea guinea pig---as your guinea pig looks fabulous with the new extensions.

I love extensions-I can't live without my frontal extensions since i had Ryan and lost so much hair. Pete hates it because they cost so much-but I love them! Great job on that girls hair!

that girl does look awesome. heehee. looks like you are pretty good at either technique. makes me want some extensions. i'm pretty sure i could benefit from anything you or heidi could bless my hair with.

i'll have to tell britt she's famous now. when was that? i can't remember but i think since then she's been a few shades of brunette, back to blonde, shorter etc....

Ooooh, I need you to teach me those. I have a friend in Utah that does those ones too (I don't know the name either), but I really need to learn them, the racoon ones KILL my hair... :(
