Hi guys,

I have just completed my training with Belle for three different extension methods and I am intending on starting my own mobile hair extension business whilst at uni for extra cash. Hair extensions were definitely the thing to go for as I absolutely love them! I also have basic knowledge of cutting/blending so that's not an issue. I am also going to go and a course for brazilian blowdry. My only issue is reputable suppliers - I always seem to find contradictory reviews on particular suppliers and this makes it increasingly harder for me to decide on a supplier and ordering a sample isn't representative of what will happen a few weeks down the line after a few washes, so any suggestions from own personal experience will be much appreciated! I have heard of tasha jacks however they seem quite expensive and not sure whether any clients would be willing to pay that much :s

Also, pricing - as I am offering a mobile service and I'm only just qualified what is an appropriate price for tape ins and micro rings (keeping in mind varied lengths, colour options such as added highlights ect) and also ensuring a viable profit margin? Would it be a good idea to offer hair from different origins such as Russian, Indian, Arabian or should I wait until I've established a decent clientele?

Can anybody think of any extra options that I could offer?

Sorry for all the questions but I figured this would be the best place to go to for advice. Thanks?
