Weave not done well

by VHills

Had a weave with Catherine. Fell apart rather fast. I hate to complain, but I was not pleased. She is a nice women, don't get me wrong, she was a sweet woman, but the quality wasn't great of the work.

• Pros: Nice woman
• Cons: Weave Fell apart fast

Great Hair!

I started getting extensions with Catherine 3 years ago. I have fine, thin, frizzy curly hair that breaks easily and would only grow to shoulder length. We started with 2 tracks of hair to achieve length to my lower middle back. Catherine insisted I get small trims on my hair, use good products and basically take good care of my own hair. I eventually got to one track of hair to fill out my ends and add a few inches as my own hair grew to about 2-3 inches past my shoulders. My hair was still fine, frizzy, and unruly but it was healthier and did grow some. Catherine kept mentioning the Coppola Keratin treatment for my hair and that it would make my hair controllable, take out the frizz, and fill in my weak fragile ends. I was hesitant but she kept bringing it up so I finally tried it. OMG! - Coppola changed my life. I’ve since repeated the treatment 3 times. My hair doesn’t frizz ever – it is soft, wavy, and does not puff out like it use to. I let it air dry and go. I still wear 1 piece of hair extension to thicken up my hair - but my own hair is now to the middle of my back and healthy. It’s like I have someone else’s hair! Catherine goes above and beyond – truly amazing!

• Pros: Best Extensions in the States!

BAD, BAD, BAD

by missV

VERY , VERY BAD quality of work. Catherine does not listen to a client, VERY poor service and DAMAGING to your hair. I had my extensions done only to have it removed because of EXTREME irritation at the starting sites of the extension. The salon where I had them removed, ALL extension specialists ( 3 at the moment) were horrified and the tightness the extensions were put in : literally ripping my hair out. I have SCABS all over my head at the moment, but at least I reacted fast enough not to have permanent damage. I've had extensions before and NEVER had any problems. I do NOT have a sensitive skull she was trying so hard to convince me I did. ( confirmed at the BETTER place) The one poor review that was in before mine - TAKE IT INTO ACCOUNT. I read Catherine's reply to it and thought that is was just an angry customer raveling. I WISH i listened. Go to a more expensive place. $800 later all I have is scabs on my head, RUINED weave ( she cut it ,so it completely unraveled , leaving me with "gorgeous" tails of hair all over wherever I went) , and NO extensions. I'll need to wait a few weeks for my head to heal , and THEN I am going to go to a more reputable place. CAtherine talks about "properly put it extensions that do not damage hair", "proper technique", and does NONE of those. DO NOT GO if you want to KEEP YOUR HAIR.
