All about weaves,extensions,deposit,time and etc....!

The foundation of your weave is your natural hair. What's underneat that fabulous weave of yours is your natural God given hair. For as long as I've been doing hair/weaves, I've notice that most of us have hair that we don't care for like we should. Weave are protective hair method, from daily wear and tear of heat,constant combing,chemicals and much more.

Your weave should not bald your head but aid in your hair growth process.This brings me to the natural hair underneat your weave. I see many clients with damage fine hair that want a weave with a relaxer and color all in the same day. I always say No. If  you hair is damage and you want to help it grow back , my first recommendation is always no chemical .No relaxer no color or whatever.
 
I would recommend a deep conditioning treatment and trim off split ends.Next a full weave is what you need, put that natural hair of yours to rest. Your full weave should  last you anywhere between 2-3 months.(If you choose to go longer than 3 months here's what may  or will happen,
1 your hair will mat and i will charge you extra to deal with that:).

2 you will lose hair) Stick to the plan and you'll be just fine.

You should shampoo it at home once or twice a week depending on how active you are. You can do it every two week. Salon maintenance are truly recommended.When choosing to do your shampoo at home,PLEASE,PLEASE make sure you have a hood dryer at home. You must dry those cornrows thoroughly otherwise you know what happens to a dark place with no air that's damp(MOLD ewww). You can also oil your scalp after your shampoo to keep your scalp from being dry. Every once in a while a thread may pop or get loose.It's okay nothing to get all worked up about that is why you come in for maintenance. Anything loose will get tighten up and you're good to go.So you will repeat this same process for at least a year with the help of Vitamins supplement that i can recommend in person. After a year your hair should be back to normal, then you can start playing around with leaving some of your own hair out and trying diferent technique such as the malaysian weave.

You can also resume to relaxing your hair but know this I do stretch relaxers for my clients. Yes, no two are alike but more likely you will not get a relaxer from me every 4-6 weeks . I do challenge my client to hold off a little longer and i try not to give bone straight relaxer. Especially for those who flat iron their leave out everyday. This may seem a little confusing but I do something different for each client that will fit you personally.

Closure pieces. They are awesome you should invest in one if you like to do full weave and would like a part in the middle or the side or the swoop bang with using your natural hair.If you're one of those that get scared when you hear full weave and your reaction is "OMG i don't want to look wiggy".No you won't look wiggy there are many ways of achieving a natural look with full sew in weave(i can't tell you everything on here.LOL). And by the way let's just get this outta way IT'S NOT YOUR REAL HAIR!  haha(just kidding i mean you paid for right?)
I know some of you DIVAS forget your real hair and you act like the weave is what you were born with. I know ,I'm a recorvering weave addict by that: I mean once or twice a year i go without a weave for 2 weeks or a month.."Hey that's the best i can do, When was the last time someone saw your real hair?"

The wiggy hair thing --Okay this is serious. What happens when you buy cheap hair? It doesn't last ,it looks dry so to bring it to life what do you do ? You put a bunch of oil and stuff that it start to look fake or wiggy, I know ,I use to do the same thing until i met  INDIAN HAIR  oh! and VIRGIN to be exact. Thank you soooo much to all the indians girl out there who are so selfless and give their hair to feed our vanities.  I feel proud when i see some indian girl walking around with those long locks . I can relate " like hey gurl we got the same hair, is your wavy or curly, deep wave, straight? Just kidding:)But i do get mad when i am going through my little recovery phase i see them walkink with all that hair," like please can i buy 8 ounce of your hair, that's all i need you can keep the rest". Okay back to the subject. Indian hair is awesome it comes in many texture so yes you should shop around order samples or see what i have available.Indian hair is reuseable.So why are you buying $200 worth of beauty supply hair, (yeah it get that expensive nowadays) that you can only use once and won't last the 2-3 months you'll be wearing your weave install. Some of those beauty supply hair won't even last after two shampoos. Do the math my full weave $250(x4 for 1 year)+$200 for indian hair that equal $1200, but beauty supply hair $250(x4 for 1 year)+ $200(x 4 for 1 year) whooooo that $1800.. see that's a savings of $600 you can use that money to buy me a gift or buy longer or curlier indian hair for another year.
The only time you should be using beauty supply store hair is when you're doing short hair cut weave style,quick weave_glue, that's it.
If you think that $200 is expensive for indian hair them don't ask me how much the hair on my head cost, I color it, i curl it,flat iron or let it stay wavy,and it's 20 inches long. There's absolutely nothing wrong with buying quality expensive hair. I will not judge .

If you love that afro look or the big curly bohemian hair. You gotta the brazilian curly hair. the link to purchase is at the top of the page.It also blends well coarse texture hair. Can be worned straight or curly,two texture for the price of one!



My real hair^                                 My full weave no hair out^

Can i bring my own hair for the Brazilian knot?Yes
Will you lower the price if i do so?No
how much is the removal for the Brazillian Knot?$75-$150

Can you tell me why this is so since the methods are similar?they are very different, the prcoess is different.it all depends on the client hair texture and the up keep by the clients 

Deposit!!!!
It's $35. That's what I charge for first time clients. It's also what I charge for a consultation. If you decide to have a consultation it's $35 and once you book your first appointment after the consultation you do not have to pay the $35 deposit. If you choose not to have a consultation and just want to book an appointment for the very first time you still have to pay the $35 deposit. If you book an appointment without paying the deposit , the appointment will be given to an existing client who want that same time slot. Saturdays is a very short day  for me. I only booked 2 weaves an 8:30 am and 1:30 pm so I only book saturday by phone only. If a new client would like a saturday appointment the deposit fee also applies. You can pay for deposit/consultation here on this wesite under the hair extensions tab or mail a money order to:Hairstring,Llc 30 north summit ave,Gaithersburb,MD 20877

Time is money
Now I know if I'm late 30min-1hr you'll be pissed and be ready to let me have it. And I'll be lucky enough to have you still sitting there waiting for me. You will make sure i give you a discount...right????????
So what do i get out of you when you don't call or don't show up?
Unlike other hair stylist i don't charge you a fee for cancelling or being late. If you're running late call me...chances are I haven't eaten yet ,while you're running late I can eat something quick or whatever. If for whatever reason you change your mind and decide you no longer want to keep your appointment , that's fine too. It's your money but it's my time you're wasting when you chose not call and have me waiting counting my fingers and toes
(lol). I don't double book and most of the time the appointment you decide not to keep someone else wants it. I understand that there's unforseen thing that may keep you from calling right away just let me know. If you chose to cancel I can call someone else and in the near future when decide to return it's no problem. If you chose not to show up and not call to cancel please do not book another appointment in the future.
Things happens , traffic sucks especialy for my clients coming from PG county,Baltimore,Virginia and others. I can't assume you're traffic when you don't call. I can deal with 5-10 minute late.
I respect you and your time , please do the same for me.

Please do not take this personal. Just be on time or call me if anything happens

Phone calls

When I am performing a surgery(weave) lol :) I'm in another world, so coming back to reality and answer the phone distract my flow. I'm not availale to answer the phone. When I am in the middle of a weave stopping to answer a lot of questions is not fair to the person I'm working on. I don't mind the questions  just not while i'm working.When i get off early I try to return phone calls and reply to all e-Mails. When i get off late chances are when I get home i'm going straight to bed . If i take more than two days to call you back please don't take it personal.  Outside of doing hair my personal life needs my attention as well. I try to return phone calls and e-mail as quickly as possible. This is also why i have an online appointment booking and this  Q&A,if you're an exiting client book your appointment and i'll see you.If you're new client book your appointment online as well with your deposit. Sundays and Mondays are my days off . E-mails are a better way to reach me on my days off. Sometimes two other people(Mercedes or my Husband) may answer the phone if i am not available , Please don't abuse them ladies.. they just want to help me help you by answering a few questions they may not have all the answers but they will MAKE SURE i call you back to give you more details. If you have my cell phone you can send me a text message i will respond even if it's at 10pm that i get a chance or during a client break.

I thank you all so much for taking your time to read this page and if you are on twitter follow me and let me know who you are I'll follow you and we can chat sometimes:)
