How to Find a Hair Extension Stylist

So, you’ve ordered those beautiful ExtenCity virgin hair bundles...now what?

Well, it’s time to get those lovely locks installed. This may be easier said than done if you’re new to wearing hair extensions or don’t have an experienced hair stylist. You could ask around for suggestions or risk trying a stylist you’ve found on Craigslist, but don’t do it.

There are easier ways to find qualified stylists who are experienced and properly know how to install hair extensions.

A Good Install is Important

Let’s face it. Not every stylist is a good one and not all are trained on how to properly install weave and extensions. A good install is important to the overall look and appearance of your intended style. Not mention, improper hair weaving methods can result in hair loss, balding and damage. Using improper weaving methods overtime can even lead to alopecia.

Therefore, it’s important to find a salon with stylists who are well-trained and knowledgeable of proper weaving and hair extension installation methods.
So, where do you go to find a qualified, reputable hair extension stylist? Here are several places you can search for a stylist to install your human hair extensions.
