Celebrity Hair Extensions: Who Wears Them Best?

Posted by Darren Stork on Friday, July 2nd, 2010

In a previous post, we discussed something that most celebrities would probably want left as a secret:  Who uses hair extensions and who does not.  While it can be difficult to tell who is actually receiving a little hair help and who is going au natural, it’s always fun to speculate.  That said, there are a few people out there we know now are using hair extensions and as such, it’s time to decide who wears them best.

Salon Memo - PaparazziWe just came up with a list of the top 4 celebrities who know and love hair extensions and who make the exact right choices at the exact right times.  We’d love your feedback on who you think does it right in the world of celebrity hair extensions, so feel free to sound off and comment with some you love.

Without further ado, here are the 4 best female celebrities we think do it best when it comes to their hair trends and their use of hair extensions to pull off looks most others could only dream of and long for:

  1. Mary J. Blige
  2. Scarlett Johansson
  3. Keira Knightley
  4. Paris Hilton

Like them or not, they have proven time and again masters at using hair extensions, the latest dyeing techniques and styling solutions to create entire new looks out of thin air, and they have been doing it for years.  While they have teams of people making this happen, they pull it off and as such, are the 4 best.

Information on Hair Extensions: 5 Facts You Need to Know

Posted by Darren Stork on Tuesday, December 15th, 2009

Information on hair extensionsHave you added hair extensions to your list of services — or are you thinking of adding it? Having the right information on hair extensions is key to giving your customers the look they want and giving your salon the added business you want.

Here are 5 facts you need to know about hair extensions:

1. Hair extensions aren’t just for the rich and famous. As celebrities started opening up about their extensions and name-dropping stylists, the hair extension market skyrocketed. Thanks to new technology, the costs of hair extensions are being driven down, while the quality of products is improving. Women of all ages and walks of life will use extensions as a part of their overall look rather than just for added length. And instead of full-head applications, extensions will be used to enhance a particular style or color with a more modest amount of strands.

2. Hair extensions are no longer just for women. These days, an increasing number of men are asking for hair extensions. It’s not just a trend for men suffering from hair loss or living in Hollywood, either. Hair extensions are also gaining in popularity for men looking for a quick change or new color without having to highlight their hair.

3. Quality matters. No matter how impressive the hair extension service, your clients won’t see the results they’re hoping for if top quality hair isn’t used. For a completely natural look and long-lasting results, use 100% natural unprocessed human hair with no silicone coating.

4. Extensions can help you extend your business. A full head of extensions can bring in $1,000 to $1,500 for your salon business, depending on skill level and market, according to Modern Salon. Modern Salon also reports that stylists specializing in hair extensions bring in 3x more income than average.  On top of that, providing extensions can provide stability for your salon business. Because the average extension client has to return every few months for maintenance, you can better forecast future revenue.

5. Proper training is critical. You’ll need initial education to start adding hair extensions to your services, but ongoing education is just as important. Perfect your hair extension skills by attending a hair extension training course. You’ll gain all the information on hair extensions you need, including the latest technology advances and trends.
