Laced Hair All Extensions Methods Demo

Good morning, everyone um - i am so excited to be doing this - live it's so fun to see. Um there's a lot of people on this uh on the zoom today and more will be joining so i'm gon na kind of uh, of course start, but as we're still admitting everyone and accepting them to join, i will just start talking and introduce myself. So i know there are people that sign up for this class that are probably new to extensions or don't really uh, don't really know a ton about our brand. So i just wanted to first introduce myself and then explain a little bit about my brand and then just get right into because of timing. I want to get right into showing all of you uh, just a quick demo of all the different methods that we offer. So again my name is lacey. I am the founder and ceo of laced hair extensions. I am just like you guys. I am a hair stylist and i started a brand uh. I started a brand just because i felt there was something missing in the extension world. Uh again, this was a long time ago. I'Ve been doing hair for uh 19 years and i have loved it and something that really became. My passion was hair extensions, and so i have taken so many courses i have. I know how to do pretty much. Every single method out there and for me i just love extensions and i don't discriminate against any extensions. I think they are all so awesome in their own right, although right now certain methods are more popular than others. I think it's so important as a hair stylist to set yourself apart and to be able to offer more than one method to your guest, because i do think that every extension method has a purpose and a reason why maybe it works for one client more than The other, so i'm really excited to go over and talk about some of these um again. This is a live course or a live class, so i want you guys to be able, if you scroll over your screen uh, it should pop up a little bar. That says: there's like a chat option. Um. If you have questions for me, i would love for you guys to type in that chat, option and hopefully i'll be able to answer some of those questions and all of them, hopefully all of them and if not um, at least at the end, i'll. Try and answer all of those questions too, just because demoing all these may take a minute, so i want to make sure you all get the most out of today. So first of all, i just want to introduce each extension method. Show you what they look like and then we will get started on. We will get started on uh the application of each one and again because this is a demo. I will i'm not going to install an entire head of keratin and an entire head of every method, but i will show how we apply them and demo it. And, of course, if you guys have questions, please ask away, but hopefully this can be very informative and give you a little bit of insight to see. If maybe you would want to take another class to offer another one of our methods. So with that, i first want to talk about keratin extensions. So what i'm going to show you sorry, i put you on mute for two seconds um. So first, this is a keratin bonded extension. You can see it kind of looks like a fingernail. I usually like to say it looks like a flower puddle, because that sounds prettier than a fingernail when i'm explaining that to my clients, but you can see how it is just this one make sure you see that what's so cool about this method is, it is Applied by heat, and sometimes people think that that's damaging, but it's not the tool only gets to 220 degrees, that's half of a client's flat iron and the tool only heats up the keratin bond. It doesn't even really heat up the hair that much it's also applied to the protective, a protective guard which i'll show you when i'm showing you the application process of keratin. So it is not damaging to the hair. The super cool thing about about keratin extensions is they have um. They have the ability to last a really long time. So, right now, my clients that have keratin that are during this quarantine they're all fine, because they their extensions last like up to five months. So it's really awesome uh one of my favorite methods. It'S been around a really long time, it hasn't gone anywhere and honestly they look so invisible in the hair that it just it almost just looks like a highlight and i'm going to show you there's already some reflection on the napkin and before we put some in, I just want to show you how great they actually really do. Look all right, so you can see i'm just going to zoom in there make sure you can see that, and these were applied by students in one of my courses and they actually looked really good for being some someone's first time. The cool thing about these. These are fresh in someone's hair right. Let me show you how awesome this is. You instantly have movement where a weft or tape ends, there's not as much movement, so benefits of individual strand by strand extensions definitely would be the movement that is created and how you can instantly just do a ponytail and hide those, and we just had several people Join - and so i just want to tell you guys - really quick um a little bit about what we're going over and it's just i'm going to really speed through the intro of each method, so i can just get down to business of putting them in. I want to make sure you guys can see that and ask questions about that, so really excited and honored. You guys wanted to jump into this class to learn more so again that is keratin extensions. I want to make sure i went over everything um as far as explaining it as quickly as i can but again benefit to keratin. Is they can last around five months um? The downside is, is they do take a little bit more time to apply them than say a beaded weft, but it is so worth it for certain clients to only have to come in. You know twice a year to get their extensions redone, so huge benefit for a client that maybe just wants a few in their sides that still wants to do really slick back ponytails um. You can also cut the keratin bond in half vertically like this, and so to make it even smaller to add bangs some of you that are as old as me may remember, like when nicole richie and paris hilton had bangs those were keratin in the front they're. Actually done at my old salon, so i was able to see how you can add bangs with keratin bonds, which is so awesome, especially for someone with really really fine hair. That maybe only wants a few to really add in uh some that just had a baby that just needs a few around her face that maybe a weft is too heavy for so that is something that's really awesome, but again they do take a little bit more Time and they cost a little bit more money because of the time that they take, but my clients still love keratin, they haven't gone anywhere. We still sell a ton of keratin most of our hollywood and los angeles customers uh in in the celebrity world that buy our hair uh. They use keratin, still a ton of them still use keratin. So an awesome awesome method. I'M super excited to show you guys how easy they go in and just how long they last is like my favorite one of my favorite things about them. So next i want to talk to you about itip. It is also another uh individual strand that, when applied in a full row gives the same effect as any other extension but and it looks very similar to keratin. But what is so awesome about this itip extension is you can reuse it? So i have clients, you know you come in, maybe at three months sometimes sooner. That just depends on the client, as we know for any extension. It just depends on how long they can really go or how thin their hair is and many other factors, but they can go probably around three months on average, with with uh with the eye tip, and then they come in you just pop open the bead slide. It out and then reapply them super easy to put back in and the benefit to eye tip is they can reuse the hair for probably three or four uses on average, so that is itip and of course you guys, like i mentioned, if you guys have questions As i'm moving through things really quickly, just because of your time, please ask them, because i would love. While you have me on this call, i would love to answer any questions that you have so please feel free to ask them. So next i wanted to talk to you guys about our tape and extensions, so tape in extensions have been around for quite a while um they've come a long way. I have definitely. I have definitely had a um, a breakthrough with hair extension with tape and extensions, meaning we have really awesome tape and remover. We have really awesome uh tape and oil remover, also oil and more alcohol based that will get any of the residue off, which is why a lot of us don't love tape, ins, but um. I did want to show you and of course i just dropped one. We have for some of you that don't know we have two different types of tape ins. So we have our regular tape in right here, which this color is super. Pretty you can see it has it's rooted. We all love rooted extensions above and beyond everything, they're. The best, so this is one of our regular tape, ins and then our newest line is our interlaced statements and i want to zoom in as i'm falling forward with you. Sorry, you can see that the difference between interlaced is the tape and extension. Hair comes all the way to the top. What is so incredible about the hair coming all the way to the top is, it looks like it is just growing out of your scalp. That way - and these have been one of my favorites for fillers - you can use the interlaced on top of a regular tape and extensions because it doesn't really matter if it's interlaced underneath on your sandwich um. So it's a really great way to just add. Even more of an invisible of an invisible extension and the client, our clients have really loved them. I'M really excited about this line. We worked really hard on it and i actually am going to stand up, so you guys can see my hair because i have a few i just have. This is my natural length, but i just have a few for the sides. We all know our moldy pieces. We have on the front my hair is really short in the front. I just want to show you how amazing that is a tape, in extension, normally with tape ins, we've all seen it. You can see that, like shiny tape with ours, they are, they just go. All the way up to the top, so when the wind blows and separates, you honestly can't see that and they have been so awesome. Some of you have probably already tried them. Hopefully you love them um. Another great thing with tape is we offer we offer two different uh, two different types of tape: tabs. So when you're retapping your client, we have a single sided and a double sided. The cool thing about the single sided is for our women that have super super super fine hair and i'm actually one of them. I have really fine hair and i, on my very front pieces i like to just have the single sided tape. So there's not it's not as heavy around my face. Um and i'll show you an example of you can see those baby hairs. I have that goes all the way back. I have a few um. I have a few health problems and i, when i get my treatments, that is where my hair mostly is, starts to fall out and so for your clients that maybe you're going through a medical trauma or just anything women start to lose hair. For any reason - and it's just really great - to offer the the single-sided tape um, if you guys have more questions about that, of course, i can dive into it. So next i of course will show you our hand-tied extensions, as you can see how thin that weft is here is the tie um, all of you. We all have heard a ton or seen a ton or we do a ton of hand-tied extensions. They are so so so popular right now, um for good reason, hand, height extensions are incredible. They lay really flat they're, really beautiful, they're so great for for your customers, with the really fine, hair and um with really fine hair, and we know how awesome wefts are to put in and remove because just of timing we love wefts love, love, love, love! So a little bit about hand-tied wefts, the reason they are so expensive is literally it lives up to its name, our hand-tied wefts, our bra. Our brand is called laced by hand, and i love that we were able to incorporate our name into it, because literally the intricate process is, it looks like they're just lacing it in it is so incredible to watch. If any of you guys are interested, i can totally email you a video. I spend time overseas and i check out my factory where everything is made and i watch them do the process so what they do. Literally, we take one strand, i'm gon na try and even grab one, because we know how hard it is. Take one strand, you probably can't even see that i'm holding one strand they take one strand and one at a time they loop it onto this string. So the string is held up. This is like tied up on uh on either side and one by one. They lace, the hair through strand by strand and so to make this one weft right here. This is just one left: it takes 16 hours. So it's really great to explain to your client when they are asking why hand tight extensions are so much money, and even just the cost of hair is a lot. It is because of the time it takes. It is a very intricate process, it's very delicate and they are obviously we know that hand. Tied extensions are kind of like the high-end car of extensions, especially right now everyone loves them, so that is a little bit about hand-tied wefts. I'M trying to give you guys like the benefits and maybe a downside of each method, so you can best describe these uh to your customers and for some of you that uh hopped on here, not right at 10, want to let you guys know, i'm going to Email you all uh this video after after it's over, so you guys can go back and hear again anything that you maybe missed. While i was explaining some of the methods - and of course you guys - are welcome to pop in and ask any questions, because i would love to answer any questions about extensions. It is my specialty, obviously a little bit of my specialty and i love extensions and, more than anything i love to see. Hair stylists have success by adding extensions to their menu of services, so anyways back to hand tied, i would say the only downside and if it's even a downside is that it's just a little bit more pricey for people. The hand-tied hair, especially when you want to custom mix a lot of colors together it can get really expensive, so something that i would recommend doing and you can see i'm actually at the my salon in salt lake city right now and something that we do here Is we have a whole, obviously an inventory of hair behind me, so my stylists are able to go, grab different pieces from that to mix in and make a really beautiful custom blend of of four hand tied um but another. I guess it's not a downside. They'Re. Just differences, but if you have a client with really thick hair and they really want a weft so bad, they really want that really long 22 inch hair, like they saw from a blogger on instagram it is, it is still um. It'S just really really hard to add. Hand-Tied extensions to someone with super thick hair can be done, but that's where i'm going to switch. You know switch and start talking about the other one, but that is where i would add, a machine weft, so machine tied wefts. Here is a machine tied weft. This has already been pre-cut our machine wefts come it almost looks like a big hula skirt um. They come not pre-cut, so the difference between machine type wefts is you: can custom cut them to your sorry like i have to sneeze, but i think it's going away, so you can custom cut your machine tight extensions to your client's head, which is super awesome because They don't unravel, and just for those of you that don't know if you cut a hand, tight extension um, it can unravel and there are wefts out there that have pre-cut guides to them. Ours do not have those um, but it it. You can't really customize a what a hand-tied weft, as well as a machine tied to the client's head by cutting it anyways. So this is a machine tied weft and i am going to sew into the mannequin, both the hand, tied and machine tied at least get it started depending on timing for everyone, but something that is. I want to help everyone understand and again i've been doing this for 18 years. I'Ve done extensions for as long as i've been doing, hair and hand tied and machine tied are both awesome. It really depends on clients, budget. It depends on you as the stylist. What you think, and there are ways - and we teach them in our education courses - there are ways that you can stack the wefts behind each other and kind of stagger them, as you apply to make it lay as flat in the corners as a hand-tied weft, which Really, as far as wefts go around the face is where you want it to be flat, because you want it to hide a ponytail um and if the wind blows, you don't want to see it. So you can stagger a machine tied weft and make it lay. Just as flat as a hand-tied weft and it's been so fun to teach the classes that i teach and several people take my classes that have already taken another another method of hand-tied extensions and i'm not ever going to say that anyone is right or wrong with The methods, i think there are so many talented educators out there and i respect all of them, but what sets our methods apart is the fact that i teach you both hand-tied and machine type, um and, like i said in the beginning of this, to be able To offer all methods, or even just two different methods of wefts, at least to your clients, it's going to make you more money to be able to offer more. You know it's and i use an analogy of a plastic surgeon. If a plastic surgeon only offers one type of surgery he's missing out on all the opportunities of being able to offer everything, so for me, i'm just kind of like why not offer more more more to your clients so anyways. That is a little bit about machine tied weft. I am, of course, like i said, going to demo how we put those in, but i do want to explain one more really quickly um. Obviously this is super easy, so it'll be fast, but we also have clip in hair extensions, here's one of our wefts of clip and hair extensions. Let me tell you why these are so awesome as a hairstylist, so we have um. We have a cute little clip-in bar and i actually i'm just going to pick up my computer and show you so we have a clip-in bar here. I don't want to make you guys sick as i'm walking around. This is our clip-in bar here at my studio, and people can come in and look at clip-ins and even try them on in a little corner, and then they have their little mirror right here. So what's so cool about offering clip-ins is most of the people. I call it a gateway drug. I know that maybe isn't the best thing to say, but the reason why they're so awesome is some people, maybe a teenager. Maybe someone that's just getting married um to be able to offer clip-ins to your client is so great because they are going to get so addicted instantly to clip-ins and we all know having to clip them in every day. It can be done, but it just kind of gets annoying and so most of our clients that buy clip-ins end up just removing the clips, because you can just cut they're sewn on. You can just cut that clip right off and then we end up sewing it onto their hair anyways as a weft as one of our beaded wife. So it's a super awesome thing to offer. You can offer a lesson of clip-ins, so our clients come in. We charge here 115 dollars for the service, but they come in. They get their clip-ins put in. I custom sculpt them, as you know, whatever length they want, and then i style them and uh, it's so great, because it usually takes about 45 minutes and it's 115 service and then, like i said they always come back and end up getting them sewn in because They love them, so that's another reason why clip-ins are an awesome option, so really quick just wanted to go over all those and explain them and i'm going to really dive in now to putting some extensions in, but before i get into that, does anyone have any Specific questions about any of those methods, while i'm still sitting down - and i can really dive in and get into that - um - no, that's totally fine too, but uh. I did really quickly just for some of you that came in a little bit later. I just want to just kind of go over really quick, all of those um, so i talked about keratin again. A few bullet points why keratin is so awesome. They are so invisible, they're so little they just look like a highlight they last about five months and um downside. I see my very from savannah. She just asked us a question of. Can you reuse the keratin extensions? So that's the downside is, you cannot reuse the keratin extensions, although the hair is still great, i wouldn't recommend it um. There are and i've seen it before and i've tried it before. Once you remove the bond, you can get another one of those bonds and re-glue it onto the hair, but it is very messy and very annoying and, to be totally honest. Most of your clients that get keratin extensions are going to be fine with getting new. After the five months, so that's the downside, um. I have one more question coming in um. Well, the keratin ones show more after it grows out, so definitely they become more visible after they grow out, but not really because a weft starts to hang down and those of you that have done extensions extension or wefts start to hang down and are way more Visible as they grow out than keratin bonds and keratin bonds actually get easier to manage as they grow out, because you can do a high ponytail, you can do a braid, i mean they're super awesome. The only time i wouldn't recommend keratin is for someone with really thick short hair because - and i have done it before, but they'll need like 11 bags of keratin, and it is a lot, but they grow out. Really incredible, like i said um some of my customers that have keratin in they're, the only ones that aren't like panicking during coronavirus right now, because their extensions still look really awesome um. So that is a little bit about keratin. Of course, i'm so grateful, mina and savannah that you guys asked questions you guys. Please don't be shy, even if you think it's a dumb question. I promise it's not. I want to be here to help you guys understand any of this. So moving on the next one is eye tip extensions, uh eye tip extensions, much like keratin. They are so amazing that they're individualized. So when you pull back your hair, they fall more naturally like hair, meaning. When you pick up one strand, you pick up that one strand: it's not an entire like a weft so that everything comes up right. So that's what's so awesome about it. Also you can reuse ite, which is another amazing thing is the fact that they're reusable. So then we come back down to tape and extensions. We all know tape are so awesome, meaning they go in um so fast. We love the application process of tape. Um and like i mentioned, we have so many different um, so many different ways to make tape. Work for you, we have our regular tape. We have our interlaced tape, which, let me remind you, interlaced again, is what i'm wearing you guys, and i just have a few sandwiches. I probably have like 10 or 12 sandwiches around my head just to thicken my poor. Fine hair, here's interlaced it is, it just looks like your scalp goes all the way up, so you can wear tape. I have tape ins all the way up to here and you can't see them where any other method, all if i have it up here, they're a little bit more visible. So that is tapens. Then again, we went over left and hand tied what they're, hand-tied weft and regular machine tied weft. The difference between those is more of a preference, and also i want to remind you of if your client's coming in and they you know, saw a blogger on instagram and they are like. I need a hand-tied weft. Your client doesn't know what a hand type left is they're talking about the method, so even if you think like they ask for a hem type left. Maybe this is where you get to use your expertise and say you actually need a machine type left, because your hair's so thick um, so there's wefts super awesome. Um the negative about wefts, i would say, is they can be really heavy and some hairstylists. You know again, everyone has their own opinion, but because i have been doing this for 18 years and i also have the finest hair in the world, i will say that i don't like a weft all the way to here. I usually have my weft stop about right here and then i add just a single sided tape for my sides, because it is the only thing that my hair can support so with that uh. Our last method that i went over was the clip in our clip-in extensions clip-in extensions. Why they're great, for obvious reasons, is the instant wow factor? The fact that you can make really great money on them, quick and they're, the gateway extension drug, meaning the first time they put them in they're, going to love it, but they're going to get sick of putting them in their hair and they're going to want. Just to like wake up like this, like we all do, um and then also, what's so great about the clip-in extensions is, is you have um what's so great about the clip-in extensions? Is you also have a before and after that is hair extensions for your feet? So people are loving seeing before and after of extensions, no matter what method it is, it's clients, don't necessarily really understand the methods and if you guys are able, if a client comes and sits in your chair - and she knows nothing about extensions except she sees a Picture of an influencer on instagram, she wants to look like that. The fact that um, the fact that you can have them sit in your chair and spend i just barely spent 30 minutes talking about different methods. You spent some time during a consultation to tell them about these different methods. I mean their eyes just light up because of the world of knowledge. That now is exposed to them. To say, like oh, my gosh i want to go to, i want to go to my hair stylist brittany, because she does all the extension methods and she is so knowledgeable about all of them, and i would say that is what sets our salon apart here in Our town of salt lake city is the fact that we specialize in every single type of extensions and my team here. They only do extensions. We also do color and extensions, but that's all we do so. They have been very successful to offer the fact that they only offer extension. It'S really awesome, so a quick message from kelly. Can you explain single and double sided tape a little bit more? Yes, i'm actually grab some of my tape. I'M sorry! I don't have outfit. Okay, so this is our tape, three tabs, this one, we call it seeing double, and so our double-sided tape is just like it's just like it sounds you peel off a piece from here and it's sticky on both sides. So when your client comes back in and you re-tape them, you have to pull that tab off and it's sticky on both sides right and you place one piece of hair on and then the other piece of hair goes on the other sticky side. So you're sandwiching two pieces together the cool thing about single sided. Is you take one piece of hair and our tape in tabs? I think our packaging is really cute. The other ones are called seeing double these ones are called. Are you single, um, fun? Little marketing part of our tabs but sorry trying to get these out so our single-sided tabs, when you peel them off they're only sticky on that one side. So you place that on the extension and or you sandwich, i'm so sorry. You sandwich this onto the extension onto the extension sticky side, just one piece of it and then the back of it is not sticky, so you can apply extensions on your client's hair. That is so fine, but only one piece. So it's not too thick um. Does that make sense? I probably need to show it because i hope that i explained that another question from nina um do i prefer interlaced tapens versus the karen tips. So to be totally honest, i, like i said i don't discriminate. I love all extensions. I wish above everything that i had more time to have like an entire head of keratin in just because i wouldn't have to redo my hair as much, but i do have interlaced in right now because of time, but they're both super awesome, but you know yesterday, I threw in just a few of uh interlaced in my sights because my weft was out and they're both really awesome, it's hard to say which one i prefer it's more a timing thing, whichever i have more time for um, and sometimes i wear hand-tied wefts. If you guys follow me on instagram, i have until yesterday i had my really long uh, like 22 inch wefts in my hand, tied wefts, and i love those two, but because my hair, so fine, i can usually only get like, maybe maybe five weeks until they Start to just show, because my hair is, i am a great extension candidate. Obviously the reason i started an extension brand was for myself because i have the saddest finest hair ever so. Yes, i can show you guys single-sided tape, because they're really awesome alrighty. So i want just to make sure we stay on schedule. Um and again. If people have to pop off the call, i'm not going to be offended um, we will be emailing it. This whole video to you, but just because i have um a schedule to keep for you all, i'm going to start with um applying keratin tips, so here's where it gets tricky is showing this on a video right. Um again, i don't expect you guys to know how to apply keratin after watching this video, but i hope it gives some insight to what i'm doing i'm going to use this girl. That already has some in so for some of you that may be logged on later. These are keratin extensions. You can see them in there. This was during the class. They actually look pretty good for this girl's. First time ever applying keratin, let's get her sectioned off and just so you guys know right now we are offering at home practice kits. So if you guys are interested and we can even customize them um, but we sell the tools online, the keratin tools and we sell um hair. So you guys can practice putting these in if you would like and we even have mannequins as well. So i'm not going to section her off perfectly, because this is just a demo we have. If you guys, are interested. We have an entire keratin application, video on our igtv um. I would love for you guys to go and watch me. Do a full head of keratin section her off and don't mind you just are going to have my bottom half in the video. I of course want, and there is a little baby bump there. You can see a little baby, but i have more than anything. I want you guys to be able to see the mannequin head, obviously all right so, of course, on this mannequin. She is not going to have hair um that necessarily matches i'm using blonde hair to install in her, because i want you guys to be able to see what i'm doing so again. This is on my laptop and i will do my best for you guys to see everything i'm doing, but if you need to zoom in, i will try my best to move the camera angle around just a teeny bit of hairspray to help flyaways. I also always use our little. Hopefully some of you guys have these. We sell them online. Um super awesome. These little grippers, just gon na put that on there alrighty. You all know when we, when we're doing extensions, how messy our stations get. So forgive me as i'm moving around to everything, so the tools that you need for keratin extensions is this. This is a shield. It'S really awesome because it will you clip it on it protects the client's head from you know, possibly burning them. To be honest, i have i'm not sure i've ever burned, one of my clients um i've burned myself like on my hand, but, like i said this tool only gets to 20 220 degrees, so it doesn't necessarily um, doesn't necessarily burn them. So taking a section, you want the section to be about the same width and weight as the actual bond you are applying. So i'm going to put this on see how easy that goes on. I am doing it a little bit, slow, obviously, for you guys to watch and what you do depending on, if you're, right or left-handed you take your piece of keratin hair slide it underneath as close as you can get to that shield. Uh. If you don't have you need a little bit of give on the client's actual hair, otherwise it will, when you apply it it like sticks straight out. So obviously you want it to be pointing down. Then you take your tool and show you guys this tool. This is our keratin tool, we sell it online, it has an adjustable temperature, but i i have it all the way up and i did just turn it on so hopefully it's formed for for you all. I want you to see what i'm doing, but i know it's a little hard, so you just hold this on hold one two slide it up a little bit hold one two: when you pull it away, you wan na make sure and close the tool. Otherwise you get keratin strings kind of floating everywhere. Then you gently just form that keratin bond, while it's still warm by the time you set your tool down you're not going to burn your hands just so you know you just gently form that around their hair and you are good to go. You can see that little bond, she is in there alrighty, so you can see that piece in there it's in there, it looks like it has like, maybe like a eighth of an inch grow out already one once it's in there, but that is so. If you had it all the way to the scalp, it can be dangerous. It'S super super um. It'S super uh! Oh my gosh. Let me just say superman time, sorry it! Otherwise it would stick straight out. So it's important that there's a little bit of give. I'M gon na do another one again, i'm kind of a freak. I know - and i use my fingers to section, but i would say a lot of people can use. You know a rat tail comb to get that section. It'S really important when you're taking these sections, you guys that you do not have hair pulling from anywhere just like, if you're doing a highlight, if you have hair, pulling you're gon na get bleed spots and for extensions more than you're, obviously not getting bleed spots. But it's going to hurt them if there's little strands coming from all over. So again, let's put a little clip on there. It is secure place that keratin bond under here hold one two go to the next half hold one two and you just form that bond around the hair, so something that is so awesome about knowing multiple methods to you guys is. I put i put these extensions in and, like maybe i'll put a weft in the back and around their hairline, i put the keratin bonds around their hairline. Then, when they come in, i only have to move up their extensions, um they're weft in the back and their keratin bonds around their hairline are still fine for another application, which is so cool um. So removal, that's a great question: can you probably move the removers right there? Thank you alrighty, so how to remove them? You just put a squirt of our. These are tapen and keratin removal bond removal and you just smash them after you have that on. You just smash the bond and then they slide right out. The removal process does take longer than say a weft, but still worth it and still awesome. So would you guys like me to maybe do one more of these or should we move along? I just want to make sure everyone has the time i might just put one more in just because they're fun. Does anyone have questions um? I was telling you a great question. So what is the cost? So again, cost is probably the hardest. The hardest thing to answer, because i definitely think that you need to go by your demographic right um, where i live in salt lake city. My extension services aren't as much as some of my customers that order care for me that live in los angeles right. So it's definitely important that you're going by your demographic, but don't let your demographic push your prices down. I want you guys to charge what you're worth and sometimes being the most expensive salon on the block for hair extensions. Isn'T going to hurt you it's just going to get the right clients in your door, they're serious about about it! That respect your knowledge, that respect that you offer so many methods and um, but to answer that question of pricing what we do here, i charge i charge here: um per bag of hair, so most people need like five packs of keratin hair and if they um And we charge 195 per pack. Obviously, if they need more, then it is more and that's kind of how it is so on app like for me for my shorter hair, i would probably need six or seven though, because my hair is short and blunt. I would to get like that full 22 inch look, so it would be a lot more expensive, but yeah one 195 per pack is what we price it, as that includes application, style, um yeah, it's a great question: um. How much space do you put between rows? So honestly, um a lot of times depending on the client, if you guys have ever heard the term bricklay, it's a great term for tape in and it's a great term for keratin, and it right so bricklay means one row. You apply an entire row all the way across and that's a solid row right. A bricklay row means you're, leaving a space out in between bricklay is for someone with really fine hair, but you want a lot of coverage. So, in that case i would if i want a bricklay, i would leave like a finger space out in between each one. Then the next row i pull down her hair and in between each bricklay. I then place the other one on the row above so you think how bricks are laid out and looking. We don't have any bricks in my station in my salon, but that way you're able to space and eventually you've created enough coverage to get rid of that white line. So um and again i see another question: how do you move keratin up like i said i think it's best to not move cares enough once you remove them, you remove them and the glue tip again, if you guys want to use glue tips and replace them. You can, but it is very messy and, to be very honest, most of your clients that are getting keratin bonds are okay, paying for new hair every time um, because it's really hard to be able to add that hair in again. So how do you guys feel about keratin? Would you like to see one more put in now that i kind of stopped for a minute? I will throw in one more piece and keratin are some of my favorite extensions. Like i mentioned, they are still really popular. Most of our clients, a lot of clients here in salt lake city, get them um a lot of our celebrity uh stylists order them in new york and like in la still they're, very popular, i'm just going to put in this last one and we're going to Move into itip, i'm so excited to show you guys, i tip as well and again the keratin can last in their hair like around five months. You guys um, which is so awesome, hold it one two hold it one two and just so you guys know we do have everything you're seeing here for sell online, we sell the hair online, we sell uh, the mannequin head and the practice hair or, and the Hair, if you want to practice, i want to zoom in and show you here's like a solid row of them. I'M so grateful that this student had such awesome work because they look really good in there alrighty. So we are going to move along to itip and let me just switch out my tray for our eye tip, hair, um, casey or cassie. Sorry, if i'm saying that wrong um, how close do you go for the sections um? Definitely i have that rule of two fingers along the hairline i like to try and have a two-finger space, but with keratin you can go a little closer if you need to, because you can cut the keratin bond vertically in half and create a little tiny little Tiny bond that is like virtually invisible for someone that has little little tiny, hair um. Yes, you can still do color, retouches um. I would just be careful with the permanent color you're using in between they're they're wefts, but colors shouldn't remove the keratin bonds, which is super cool alrighty. Next, is the eye tip? What you guys need for itip is this tool. I know extension tools, look kind of scary, like you're at the dentist office, but they're really awesome so this tool. You need your threader with some beads on it and your threader with some beads on it and then your eye tip hair. I tip her. It looks like a little shoelace at the top. I tip hair is one of the methods i have been doing for a very long time. Um i used to work in los angeles and las vegas and most of my clients either got keratin or i tip honestly, even though i did wefts too yeah, you can foil around the keratin and i tip and i recommend um. You know when your client comes in just doing their mohawk and then maybe their hairline for grace. You don't even have to do the back of their hair, all righty. So let me just make another row really quickly for our eye tip. I love it. You guys they are so fast. The cool thing about all extensions is i'm not going to lie? I don't care how long some of you on this call may be brand new to extensions or maybe you've been doing extensions forever. But the more you practice like if you're home, with your husband or your boyfriend or whatever watching netflix, have a mannequin in your lap and just be like practicing practicing practicing because you guys are gon na get so fast. And obviously time is money. And so the faster you get the better off. We are right and again i have um clients that i'm not lying. I get every single one of the methods that we're going over today and some of them wouldn't get. Some of them wouldn't get extensions. If i only offered wefts because they had a bad experience with what's right or something like that, so on to the eye tip, also the cool thing about cartoon and itip and individual stranded extensions is you can customize, i mix in so many different colors when i'm Putting in keratin and i tip - and it is so awesome to be able to mix in those those custom blends all right so taking the same section and again, you want to maybe do two fingers. That'S such a great question. Um two fingers is where you would start right and start this row, a question that just came through. Do you charge for removal of any kind of method? So this is a great question. You guys and it's up to you. I do charge for keratin removal because it takes longer um and i charge if a client comes in and i have to remove someone else's weft i charge for that left, removal, um and then we do charge for a reinstall of wefts and that's a great question. If you guys want to hang out after the call, i would love to go over how we price things, because i think that it's so beneficial to have that so really quick, you guys. I have this wire tool. As you can see, you need to leave enough beads out to stick your fingers through there and i just loop one of these beads. I should have had blonde beads, i'm sorry um right onto the hair. Then i clip this up and i go on to the next section and you can honestly do an entire row like this i'm going to zoom my when i say zoom i mean lift up my computer, so you guys can see. Hopefully, you can see that there's three beads on there, i'm going to after these ones, i'm going to use blonde beads, so you guys can see more those are on there. So then, you take a piece of your eye, tip hair and your tool pull this down, and you slide that bead in there you want a little bit of the hair to poke out just a slight bit, not a lot because um not a lot, because the Eye tip will itch them, so then you slide that in push it up and you just clamp it. I push it like two times down and it's in there. These really do last um. If they're applied correctly, your client should maybe lose like five around the course of three months, but the cool thing is is: if they do have like three fall out: they just save them and they can come in and get them pop. You know pop them back in or whatever or during or during your client. So a great question: are these the same size beads as your wefts? Actually, no, our hand-tied beads um, our hand-tied machine tied beads are 10 millimeters bigger than the i-tip beads. So great question: you could use the same beads if you want. I prefer to use the smaller beads for these because they do show if they're huge. So next, i'm just going to do that again. Try and lift up the computer, so you guys can see more see sliding that piece of hair in and then just closing it down same thing. Take another piece of hair. I can do a full head, meaning like six or seven bags of these. You guys in honestly like an hour and a half, because i practice so much, and i can do these really really fast and they're. Super super awesome. So there's a quick demo of those guys and i am going to put some in with some blonde beads just so you guys can see, hopefully a little bit more. Obviously you want to use beads that match the client's, um scalp or base color. You would not want to use blonde beads, but i do want you guys to see a little bit more, don't mind that strand of hair and pulling around sorry all right. Hopefully you can see that a little bit more with the blonde bead in there. So there is that one, so something that's super cool. I also want to show you guys how fast these guys come out. So my client comes in and um wants, wants them moved up so taking this tool. This is for install and removal um. If you look at this, it looks really scary. You don't want to take this tool and, like close it all the way, if you close it all the way, you can actually slice their hair so be very careful with removal. All you do. Is you stick? The very top in and like giant gently nudge it like this very gently and then the bead just slides right out you don't you reuse the same bead, but you do reuse the same hair. So what i do is i take out the entire row say: that's the row, this little corner and take it out comb out their hair depending on what service they need. If they're not getting color, then i'll take out their hair comb. Everything out give them a good, scalp, massage and shampoo and then put their hair back in. It'S really important, with any extensions that you're applying that onto clean dry hair, so there's eye tip um. I want to make sure that i ask you guys, while we're on the method. It'S super great, to ask any questions. Um. Do you charge by the bags of hair for itip? Yes, great question so very similar to how we charge for keratin we charge, we just place the install price in with the bag and we charge 150 per bag of i tip. Let me just give you guys a little uh. It takes me like an hour and a half to probably do six bags. Maybe you know six or seven bags of hair and i charge 150 for that for that application and the hair as a stylist only cost you guys around, like 58, so you're profiting close to 100 per bag, and i actually make more money doing eye tip than Any other method, because i am so fast at them, so i love it, love i tip too um and what method is best for very fine hair. You guys this is where i want you to um, really use your expertise and knowledge, because hand-tied extensions are really great for fine hair keratin extensions are and um, but so our tape or, like our interlaced tape, a really awesome purple hair too. It'S more of your clients with fine hair you just have to let them know they can't go. Some of you may know that. There'S clients with that thick beautiful hair that can go like 10 weeks with their hair extensions uh like a weft, but my clients with fine hair can only go like four weeks for their wefts and longer if they're keratin, but someone with fine hair. It'S really important during consultation um, it's it's really important during a consultation to uh to go over how long it will last and and then also give them a clear expectation and say hey. Why don't you pop in at four weeks - and let me check it out because maybe it won't work as um or or maybe they can go a little bit longer than you thought initially so, there's itip so exciting love seeing them um i'm going to do some Tape, ins, for you guys, so all right, taping extensions, i feel - are getting a really bad rap right now on instagram um and i think that they are not lost. I still think tapings are great, like i said, i'm the one that loves all methods for different reasons, mainly because i honestly like to offer so much variety to my clients, and it sets me apart as a hair, stylist, um and so really quick. I'M going to be jumping back to questions in between, so i'm really sorry um the eye tip and the bead underneath um the b just goes in through it's not really on top or underneath, because the b just goes in the circle. The hair goes in the circle of the bead, so technically it would be on top, i guess um and um in bags, so each keratin and each eye tip bag has uh 20 pieces in it all righty. So next we are doing tape, ins and after tape-ins we'll jump to clip-ins and then we'll finish up with hand-tied and machine-tied wefts. Just so you guys know so really quick. There are several ways to to install any kind of method and they're. I hate to say there's a right or wrong way, but there really can be wrong ways to apply them and there are ways to avoid damage. So, with tape ins, i feel that i like to have a little bit more of um like a little bit more tapens people can do themselves, we'll just say it like that they're so easy, but to have a tool or something in your hand like a comb, Is very beneficial because they're like oh, i can't do that myself or have my husband. Do it right so with tape ins? How i do it and again you guys may have your own way. That'S fine! Whatever works for you, but i really liked this way because of the control factor. I remove that. I take my thin piece, then placing the metal rat tail comb at the bottom. Now i have control, i can move this around and for some of you um, i actually have multiple sclerosis and sometimes it's really hard, interestingly enough, to use my hands for what my job is right, um. But this gives me a lot more control and i, instead of placing like the tape upside down or something i really like having this control. So i slide the tape right as close to her scalp as i can, and then you just slide the comb down make sure you're not like tugging it down. You have to like really roll it down, otherwise the comb gets stuck on there and it's not. You know it's not that bad, but you want to not do that so there's one piece and then i'm going to put a piece of our interlaced on top, so you guys can see how easy these go in and how awesome they are, and i just match Those two together and place that, on top and for added security, i am going to just take this our flat head tool and just go boom on one side and then come in trying to do it. On the other hand, so i'm not in your way and close that flat on the other side and they are in. I want to show you again how awesome interlaced are the other side isn't interlaced, and you can see that shiny piece, the difference between interlaced, i mean. How amazing is that right? We love interlaced alrighty, all right, so a backward.
