Up-close with a Hair Extension Stylist Previous   Continued... Featuring Patricia from Patricia's Famous Hair Extension & Hair Replacement Salon in New York Hair Resources:  What should a person who wants hair extensions know about getting hair extensions ( i.e. special maintenance, hair care products, etc.) Patricia: People should realize that although great to look at, it does require some work on your behalf.  You need to take care of your investment, since on average hair extensions are not cheap.  This means, visits to your stylist on a regular basis for proper maintance.  You need to brush and wash correctly.  Don’t press the flat iron on your extension attachment points.  I give a care card for extensions when a client leaves my salon, with thorough verbal directions, and they should be followed to avoid any issues. Hair Resources: Who should not get hair extensions? Patricia:  People who should not get them should be people that are tight financially.  They can be expensive, and you should not put all of your savings into them.  Rent, bills, etc should come first.  Also, people who don’t like to care for their hair afterwards, should avoid extensions.  They require some work on your part, so if you don’t want the effort, they should be avoided. Hair Resources: Do you have any before/after photos that you would like to contribute for the article? Patricia:  Yes, you can check my website at http://nychairsalon.com/ for various before and after pictures on multiple techniques.
