How to choose a hair extension specialist in San Diego
Plenty of San Diego salons list extensions on the menu. Fewer have made them the centre of their work. Five questions tell the two apart.
Written by Alisa Pose · Great Lengths certified · 20 years in extensions
1. Who certified them?
Ask which hair brand trained them. A Great Lengths certification means the stylist learned that system's bonds and removal from the company that makes it. Alisa Pose is Great Lengths certified.
2. How many methods do they carry?
A salon trained on one method tends to put that method in everyone. Alisa carries five: keratin fusion K-tip, individual tape-in, tape row, hand-tied wefts and volume wefts. At the consult, four get ruled out for your hair before anything is ordered.
3. How long have they done extensions?
Alisa has 28 years behind the chair, 20 of them in extensions. She started as a client. Her own hair was fine and broke easily, and extensions were what fixed it.
4. Will they quote you in writing first?
Extensions cost mostly hair and time, and neither is clear from a photo. Alisa gives you the figure in writing at the consultation, before anything is booked. The consultation is free.
5. What do their Google reviews say?
Read the reviews on Google, not the quotes a salon picks for its own site. Alisa has 58 reviews on Google, every one of them five stars. Several reviewers say they have been coming to her for 20 years.
