There comes a time in every girl's life where she thinks, "You know, I've spent years growing out this beautiful, shoulder-blade length hair that everyone envies. It sure is time to cut it off."
It always turns out, however, that it was not, indeed, time to cut it off. Bitter regret, and much wailing and gnashing of teeth ensue.
But thanks to modern technology (thank you, modern technology), there is now a way to pay for long hair until the real thing arrives, finally, a year later -- hair extensions!
And Fly Girls is a great place to get it done. Whilst their hairdressing services are geared towards Afro-Carribean-textured hair, they also offer hair extensions to anyone in need, like myself.
The extensions themselves can be purchased anywhere, so if you want to save a few pennies, definitely opt for this option, as the ones purchased through Fly Girls are definitely on the expensive end.
Fly Girls offer all kinds of extension services -- glue-on, weave or threaded.
I had the threaded kind, and they were magnificent. You couldn't tell the hair from my own at all, and for the first week, it was luxuriant and lovely.
The girl who put them in was very kind and chatty, and all the customers seemed to be having a good time and enjoying their time there.
However, whilst the prices listed in Fly Girls' brochure seem very reasonable, I think I may have been taken advantage of slightly by being told that I needed four double rows of extensions (they price per row), instead of four single rows, allowing them to charge double per row.
But now that I know better, my second visit I'll just ask for what I need. Other than that, the service is fine, the shop itself is clean and white with pink and black accents, and all the girls are in nice black uniforms. The service is good, but do read up on hair extensions before you go, and know exactly what you want. read more
