I often receive emails and calls asking how much I would charge to cut in a hair system purchased from an online retailer. Unfortunately I have learned the hard way to pass on these potential clients. My reasons are somewhat complex, but the bottom line is that the hair system itself must be of good quality or no professional can make it look natural.
All vendors claim their replacement products are of the finest quality, but my research tells a much different story.Recently, in desperation, I purchased an all lace system after talking to the vendor on the phone. He answered all my questions, making me trust that the system would arrive and be sale-able to a client that had been a "club" member. I told the vendor that if I was happy with the piece I may add him to my vendor list hoping this would encourage him to give me a quality product.
The system arrived within one week as promised, but when I opened the package I was horrified! The base was so flimsy that I knew it would hold up for a week or two, but no longer. The hair was an off color that had a tin look to it, and I am fairly certain it was animal hair, not human. The knots were bleached in the front, but the tie job was so coarse that one could see every knot without even trying.
I showed this system to several clients to get their opinion, and each one said "Oh, my God, that is horrible!"
The piece will serve to show potential clients what they can expect from online retailers, but hopefully it will also enable me to make the point that it takes more than a WalMart quality hair system to look believable in the real world.
At Chris for Hair we believe that it takes a great quality product along with superior service and an ongoing relationship to satisfy your need to have great looking and believable hair. We work hard to deliver all of that to our clients.
