The Monofibre® hair extension method has many advantages over methods using human hair, Julien Guyonnet explains. The hair is much lighter in weight and shinier in texture than human hair. And unlike human hair that has a mind of its own, the fibre hair holds a style until you take it out. Fibre hair is also non-porous, so it doesn’t absorb any hair care products in any way. He adds, “Because of its versatility, Monofibre® extensions can be manipulated into Avant-Garde styles such as dreadlocks, braids, etc.”

Julien Guyonnet continues, “I have tried using human hair for extensions and found it really an awful experience. I didn’t like using the glue and solvents. Actually, I felt quite ill through it all.” He feels that Monofibre® hair extensions are the safest method for natural hair and the most interesting since one can blend the hair with a variety of colors. The sky is the limit when it comes to creativity.
Another big advantage of Monofibre® hair extensions is the training and education that a stylist must go through in order to be qualified to do hair extensions Julien Guyonnet came to London over 9 years ago to learn everything about Monofibre® hair extensions from Antenna Salon.
He started out his career by training in France for 3 years at a Hairdressing Institute followed by 2 years work experience in Parisian salons on the Champs Elysées. He trained as an assistant using Monofibre® extensions for 6 months.
After completing the Dome Academy 4 day foundation course he became a qualified stylist in Monofibre® extensions. A year after that he became a senior stylist at Antenna and was doing 10 hair extension clients per week. Two years later he became the Creative Director at Antenna Salon in London.
