I just wish I could have got a better colour match :( but she didn't want to pay out for custom colour :/ oh well she's over the moon so I'm happy :D while I was there her mum and sister enquired and now I have 2 more bookings hopefully! - consultations booked in :D xxx

I think it is a really good colour match! X
 
I would welcome any constructive feedback people could give me. I'm still new to this industry and eager to learn as much as I can.

As would I! I love hearing from Pro's how to make my work better! I feel no matter how long you have been doing extensions, you are always learning. I post my before and after a for feedback, and also because I am proud. It has taken me a long time to get to where I am now, I'm always open to suggestions on how to make my work better!

U are a pro lol xx
 
I put my pictures on for feedback I think it's better that way you know we're your going wrong x
 
You often find the people complimenting substandard work, also do substandard jobs.
 
I don't mind friendly constructive feed back but it's anything like the bitchy snide comment like the above don't bother waste your time typing. There's ways of giving feedback and your opinion in a friendly way. If no one can give it in a nice way then just don't bother really. We all like feedback it makes everyone improve but being nasty is not the way to go about it. Instead of giving everyone your rant as a whole why not do it nicely to everyone individual. Yes I know it's not layers much and the ends are not blunt cut or whatever but the fact is when I'd finished she wanted nothing off the length and didn't want layers so I literally snipped little bits of the end. I guess that's what you was going to say? And as your regard to being 'professional' I may not be a fully qualified hair dresser and I only do extensions part time but I have two other careers aswell. I may only have 3 years experience but I have done 3 training courses, a cutting course and worked in a salon for a year does that make me less professional as an extensionist? I'm always looking for more courses to attend to improve in my field.

Love, peace and respect xxx

Not sure if that was aimed at myself, but I've never criticised your work. I think your work is good.

And as for my comment about substandard work, it wasn't to be bitchy, it was just the truth ☺️

I've never been bitchy about anyone's work. I've only tried to help.

Wow, I must've really struck a nerve. It was you who approached me, at no point did I refer to you in my original post, in case you hadn't noticed this thread is over 50 pages long. Paranoid much? My reply wasn't bitchy or snide, I simply responded in the same tone you used to me. You write that we all like feedback, judging from the above I doubt that very much. And why would I approach everyone individually? Today is the first time I've seen this thread, are you suggesting I comb through it, doling out advice and feedback? The fact of the matter is, there is a lot of dreadful work on here being complimented. You've picked holes in your own work, that's not what I intended but while you're at it, your bonds are too tight too. I'll bet your client didn't get a good nights sleep that week.

As I said previously, I don't blame anyone for going on a course, I blame the people selling the training and the regulatory bodies for not getting a handle on this sooner. The proper application of hair extensions requires skill, talent and dedication, and other than hot fusion, at least NVQ2 hairdressing.

Is mine dreadful I would rather you be honest x
 
Well I'm sorry if it come across that way but your first comment was just rude. And having an NVQ does not make you a better extensionist. I know many great extensionists who do not have NVQ's.. I also have corrected many trained hairdressers extensions that have gone wrong on their poor clients. My bods are too tight? Well thanks for the comment but I used a section inch clip which but them down a little so I can't see how the bonds are too tight. And I text her this morning and she said she slept well in them. But thanks for the 'helpful' feed back. Yes I know where it could have been better and I wanted to rectify that but the client did not want me too, like I said in that previous comment. What am I supposed to do go against her wishes - no I would never do that. It doesn't cost or hurt to be friendly about the whole situation. I'm fed up of bitchyness - salon geek is supposed to be a helpful tool but the way your going about it is rude and not constructive.

Olletta. Xx
 
Do we really want another thread closed by all this bickering! Iv enjoyed seeing everyone's before and afters so let's just stop it now before it get closed. Anymore pics? Lol x

What you said in your first post, was long overdue. A comment which many of us on here would have loved to have said a few pages ago I'm sure!

I am tired of seeing crap work being praised, you'll notice that none of the "pro's" actually praise these photos, only the others who are doing the same standard of work will give positive comments. But everyone is entitled to their opinion, and if they think their own work is good being at what we would see as substandard, then of course they are going to have the same opinion of others poor work.

But, we are all here to learn/give advice and not pass judgment.

To locks of love? Not once did hairart say anything about your work, you took it upon yourself to assume it was about your work and get l defensive.

End of the day, we're not on here to kiss each other's ar*es, we're here to learn and progress, which will not happen if we don't speak up and point out the flaws and how to rectify them.
 
Been fitting extensions for a few weeks now as newly qualified!
Trying to find a reputable company to use as a main supplier!
These are 20" SJK Luxury, pretty happy with them to be honest! But just need to wait and see what the life span is like! Any feedback is welcome :) ImageUploadedBySalonGeek1380573243.925193.jpg
