Up-close with a Hair Extension StylistPrevious Continued... Patricia from Patricia's Famous Hair Extension & Hair Replacement Salon located in New York
Patricia: I have been doing hair extensions for over 15 years. The first hair extension method I used was hair extensions with silicon. Even back at that time, the silicon attachments that I did were very fine, and similar in size to today’s extensions. Hair Resources: What is the demographic makeup of your hair extension clients? Patricia: Since I offer a vast selection of hair extension styles, the whole female population is a potential market. Age ranges are usually people in their 20-40’s, with a wide ethic base. I focus on females, because I also offer private services, and feel more comfortable working in private with female customers. Hair Resources: How many different hair extension methods do you offer? Patricia: As of today, I offer OVER 31 Different hair extension types. My website only shows 25, but it should be updated my weeks end. Plus I don’t account for many procedures that I know, but that I do not market. Otherwise the true number would be much higher. Hair Resources: Why do you offer so many different methods? Patricia: That is a very good question. The reason is that people have different needs, with different BUDGETS. Many people cannot afford Great Lengths, or my patent pending Remylinks product line for example. Therefore, I need to have affordable options, for the entire client spectrum. My prices start at $400 and work their way up to $6000. As you can see that is a wide range, and allows me to offer something for everyone. Another reason is that people call me from all around the world asking me to perform an extension using a specific product. By offering the whole range of different options, chances are that I offer the specific product that the client requests. Hair Resources: How do you decide which method to use when you first meet with a hair extension client. Patricia: The way I decide is I first see what the client is trying to accomplish, and then what there budget is. For example, some people might want a cheap, short term extension, and they are on a tight budget. In that case, I would recommend something like Ultratress, Simplicity, or silicon fusion. In other cases, a client might live far away, cost is not an issue, and they want a full head of hair with length. In this case, I would recommend Great Lengths, which is one of my biggest sellers. It all depends on goals required and their budget.
