Starting A Hair Business Vlog 4 - How To Find A Hair Vendor

Okay, guys so here's the long-awaited video that you guys have been asking for on how to find a vendor. So there's three ways you can find the vendor. I have three websites that I'm gon na show you guys there's other ways that you can do it, but this is personally how I have been trying to find a vendor. So hopefully this will be successful for you. So, first things: first, as you can see, Aliexpress is the first vendor that I have up. The reason why I like to use Aliexpress is because I need to see real customer photos, so the key thing into finding a vendor is what you type in the search bar there's. So many different vendors, that's on Aliexpress or Alibaba or DHgate. But it's the keywords and the research that you have to do in order to find it so first things. First, the first thing that you should type in is going to be cuticle, aligned, hair, so cuticle aligned here and it's gon na pop up all the vendors under cuticle aligned. Here, it's gon na give you the amount of orders. You can do it from the rating. It'S all up to you and what you want to do so. The first thing you see is this company right here, which is NuStar. They have a few orders that they have been so with this. You have how many orders they have so 728 orders. Then you look at their ratings. The ratings is not always 100 % guys. Let me tell you this a lot of times. These vendors do request that, if you do, if you give them 5 stars, they'll give you money off bla bla, bla bla. So don't always trust the ratings, but I always go with the highest ratings just to see what it's like. The next thing I do is I look at the customer reviews. I don't know why they still stick it up there. So I look at the customer reviews. Just to see if they post any pictures, this is really really really helpful, because I'm a visual person, I need to see what the hair looks. Like guess, someone can say that the hair is amazing, the hair is bomb, but I need to personally see how the hair looks on that actual person. So, like, for instance, is she showing how the hair looks? It looks like a nice texture pretty, but I go into the rest. I look at to see when they take pictures of how the bundles are looking. I don't know why it's not swimming in bigger, but I look to see if it's frizzy does it look dry and a lot of these people who they show the ends. Also, it's great great great great great, to look at reviews. That is not five stars. Look to see why people are being really honest. So, like this person she gave the three stars. I would really look at it and see what she says, because this is a true review versus it being five stars, but they don't really give you much information, but with this it looks like she's, giving you a lot more information in here. She she just, she just gives you what you need. So basically, I look at the pictures just to see and then what I would do is, while she's a really great look at that she's showing you how big the bundles are compared to the packaging. This is awesome and then, as you can see the customer service to see if they do contact you back. So that's what I do is I sit here and I look at pictures and then what I would do is. I would place a small order if you want. Let'S say if this is the vendor that you want to go with. You looked at all the reviews, it seems like it's worthy, then you can go ahead and you can order the bundles that you want to order. Sometimes you can go into their store, so this is a store right here. Sometimes you can go into the store and see if they have any bundle. Deals. I'Ve done that before so I will go to their store and say. Ok, so I see that the new Brazilian one is the one that I want. So let me see if they have any bundle deals, so I will go down below and see what their bundle deals are. So with this one, the bundle deal starts at 134 69 and you can go ahead and just purchase your sample order from them. So it's all up to you on how you want to do it, but that's one way to try it. That'S one way I've been trying is doing that. So let's just go back to the reviews. Really quick, so I'm gon na do the feedback I'm gon na go to it. I'M gon na focus on the four stars, so I'm gon na look to see cuz. Sometimes the four stars are the ones that actually gives you like the true reviews again just searching through the picture. Seeing how the hair looks this here, it's really really pretty by the way, really pretty so I like this and then when you buy the hair, and you like the way it looks after you test it out. I would then reach out to the actual vendor and say: hey: do you guys, sell wholesale and then hey? Can you send me your wholesale price list? So that's what I've been doing definitely go through views. It takes a lot of time to just go through it. So this one right here seems okay to you, guys, which is NuStar here: let's go back and see what other brands that they have other companies they have on their list. So it's a new pop-up window. So let's go back. Let'S see what else they have here. So this is the only companies that show up under cuticle aligned here, which is really amazing. Let me see if I can do virgin Envy in here and see if you can find an Indian vendor. So, let's see what we have here, this one is the first that pops up, let's just give it a shot. There'S no reviews on this. The hair looks super pretty, but when you zoom in it looks like there's a lot of frizz ease in it, I don't know if that's what you guys like, so I just pay attention to that, but it doesn't look like there's any feedback on it. So I can't really judge how the hair looks on person like what an actual person is wearing it. Let me just visit their store, really quick, so I typed up Indian here, but it came up as a Chinese vendor. So that's definitely like a. I don't know. Like I asked for Indian here in a Chinese vendor, I doubt I'm getting my hair from India if it's a Chinese vendor video just looking just seeing what they have, there bundle deals, and things like that. Personally, why see here that's packaged like this. It just looks like I don't like it, but I mean they're very creative with the sparkles that's going on right here, but this is gon na be a no for me. I'M gon na keep searching to see if I can find anybody from India. I'Ve actually seen malleable doll face talk about sexy here. So if you want to try sexy hair out, you can do that as well. China base company, they have some bundle, deals and look. They have wholesale stuff right here. So if you're looking for wholesale, you can reach out to them and see what they have. They have remy hair. They have human hair, wigs, they have mink hair. I don't know what that means. I really don't bundles with closure deals, so you can go here and you can see what they have click on it see if there's any reviews on any of their textures and then just just do a search. So, that's basically how I do like my search on Aliexpress also. I look to see if the pictures that they show are legit pictures, if it's basically, if it's like youtubers, that you've never seen them review here before. I tend to stick away from that because you know like I've had my pictures taken before and I've never promoted their brands. So that's one way to do it. You can do Aliexpress that way. I personally prefer Aliexpress because I actually get real-time people. That'S posting pictures. I don't care what the ratings is. First of all, this is definitely I know like look at all of that. That is not good. Yes, the ends are good, but look at how like frizzy this hair is it's ridiculous, but yes, so I will go to just so go to their feedback again. So, let's see, if I can go on their feedback and see if there's any pictures, that's posted. You have people that color the hair show that the hair has been colored. Like I said sometimes I I look at what people are posted versus what they're saying to see like this person. She was able to bleach to hear it twice. That'S that's pretty good and then just look at how it looks. That'S that's just what I basically do is just research it. It takes a lot of time to do this, but and a lot of money, trust and believe guys, a lot of money. So that's Aliexpress. Right there, let's go to the next one. The next one is Alibaba. This is the actual wholesale wholesale and I'll be on whatever you want. You go for Alibaba. So basically you do the same thing now. If I was to put in cuticle align here, I would get more searches that will come up and you get vendors from different markets. So I'm gon na do the same thing. I'M gon na type in cuticle aligned here and then I'm gon na search and with this it gives you the different type of vendors. So if you want it from India, if you want it from China, it all depends on where you want them from it shows you right here. So let's say I want it from India, so I'll click, India and it will show me Indian companies with this, though it's really hard because you don't, you have to go based off of what the company is showing you versus what other people are saying. Is the here so you kind of you know you can interact with them. If you have what's app, you can interact with them because they will put their what's app address in their description, so you can contact them. Ask them to send you pictures, but here's, the Indian vendor right here, sometimes I'm a little afraid of Indian vendors because they tend to have lice in their here. So you have to make sure that there's no life in it, but you can go and you can contact these Indian suppliers and say hey. This is what I want and you can go directly through them. I'M liking the way they're showing to hear that sweat. A lot of times they show videos, I'm like on the top. They showed up into a video here. So if you wanted to see what the hair looks like they'll show you a video that looks like it's what right there and then you can contact the supplier but yeah. So that's that and then definitely look at their description just to see what they have and then, if you're interested in then you just go to their store and see. If there's anything else, that's there. So let me see if I can find there what's Epidaurus. This is some pretty textures, though, and a lot of times. They also show you. I don't like the way. These ends look a lot of times. They will show you the factory and things of that sort, so I can't find there what's app stuff. Let me see, oh, it might be in the company profile. Okay, so they just kind of started. Their company they'll have pictures of how the factory looks and things of that sort showing their donors. Sometimes they show the people that they work with and it shows you how much the revenue is from the company. I don't know how true to it, it is, but that's what they do. This company's been established. It has 11 to 50 employers the locations in India. So you know you're getting to hear directly from India and not no other place um, so you can just look at their information right here. You can contact them. I think you have to just sign in to get their what's app address, but also, if you want to, let me see if I hit contact details so here's their Alibaba address. They also have a personal website. So if you wanted to go there, so you basically just have to to look around and and see what they have here. So that's their company address right there you can go to their sites, so visit many site to see what other textures they have again. This is just personally this one store from India. Each vendor has something different, so you can just basically just contact them to get more information and also just keep in mind the time. The time difference so like when I talk to my vendors in China, I have to do mostly at night because it's morning for them so just also take and play there the time difference. So that's searching for like an Indian vendor. Then you can go ahead and see if you want it something else. So, let's see besides India, so let's take India off. So you see there's so much companies guys it's just sometimes it's some companies. This is why it's just like you have to do all of your research, but why are you not going to cloaking so, let's unclick India, and see where else you want to go to supply from so let's say you want to get your supply for, let's try South Africa - that's pretty interesting, so they still Brazilian here in South Africa. That just does not make sense again Brazilian here, but it looks like it's China, mainland. This is a supplier from South Africa. So I don't know if you guys want to say you have South African here. I doubt it South African here because they put Brazilian here and the title betters me per se. I just rather you just stick to the origin that you're good for let's see what else they have. We have Vietnam. If you want Vietnamese here, you can go ahead and hit up these people, so this is Vietnamese here. Let'S click on this and see what they have look at the description make sure you pay attention to it. So they said that here, grades from me here place origin. They do say it's Vietnam, so that's really good. They don't lie about it and say it's like Brazilian here. You'Ll take a look at it personally. This looks pretty dry to me, but look at the description and then contact them. So that's one way you can search on Alibaba Alibaba gives you way way way more options, but I think that sometimes you're out on a limb when it comes to le Baba, because you don't really have like customer pictures to look at you're just basically just going Off of what the vendor has to say in regards to their stuff a lot of times, these vendors also actually give you guys samples. I have never gotten free samples, but they do give you samples as well, if you wanted to give that a shot. So there's so much so much out there guys it's just basically on how to pinpoint what exactly you're looking for for your hair company and then we also have DHgate. I'Ve never really worked with DHgate, but let's just try the same thing and just type up cuticle aligned. Here it doesn't look like that, something that's popular with them, but they also have some vendors here. These prices are, goodness gracious they're cheap, but you can also go with them and just see. Do your research and see what they have to offer and just look at their recommendations. A little bit. Definitely look at the feedback to see what's going on with the feedback but yeah, so you guys have asked how I find a vendor. These are the three ways another way. Obviously, it's going to youtube and just searching to see what people have on have said on YouTube in regards to here. You can do all done, don't know what this is, so you can basically do. I guess you can search cuticle line here and just see what pops up as well, so you can go here. You can catch vendors on YouTube as well, where they show their products and then you can also see reviews that people have. I look there's someone here that shows you how to fight a hair vendor. I'Ve found a lot of information from her of the weave the wealthy weaveologist she's, the one who actually told me how to search for a vendor using out of the search for cuticle aligned. Here so definitely go ahead and check out this video right here, because I learned a lot from her, but Aliexpress is another thing too: you can go off at Aliexpress and seat and Aliexpress. I'M sorry YouTube is another great option to see if there's like, like. I look at I think when I was looking up to see if I can find a vendor from my straight hair. I looked up Malibu dog. If I could spell it correctly, so I look up Malibu doll face and then I would look at his thumbnails just to see what he has. So if the hair looks pretty good in the thumbnail, then what I'll do is I'll do a little bit more research into it. To see like this hair looks amazing and it's a Lee pearl. So I will look at his reviews, see what he says and then jump on Aliexpress, so look up their information and then I'll go down and look at the reviews that they have there to see what people have to say. Or sometimes you can just look it up yourself. So let's say I wanted to do a li pearl, so I looked at Malibu doll faces review, I'm like oh, my god, Ellie pearl, seems pretty good. I love the way the hair looks on him. So let me do a search on Allie, Jerome and then do here review and then I will look up to see what the reviews are. Personally, I don't go with. This looks really amazing, but personally I won't go for the bigger youtubers. I will go for the smaller channels because those are the ones that most likely paid out of pocket for their hair, so they're giving you the nitty gritty. So I will look at it. Look at the description to see if they said hey, this video is sponsored anything like that, but yeah. So that's how you can do a to just check out to see. Personally, I don't listen to what they say in the video. I just look at the movement of the hair. How it looks I love to see unboxing videos also look at this closure horror. I would like to see unboxing videos as well to see how it looks straight out the package this looks so bomb but see how it looks straight out. The package see how the packaging is and everything like that when I'm researching so hopefully this guy's. This is what you guys have been asking for. If you need more information, definitely send me questions below in this video and yeah. I guess I'll talk to you guys later.
