Finding A Legitimate Hair Salon

The article contained several mis-truth and inconsistencies about Micro Rings most of which do nor merit discussion as anyone who has done the bare minimum of research would be able to see through to the truth. The most glaring inconsistency which illustrates that caution should be exercised with Chair Renter's is when the author states (please note that this is the authors grammar, spelling and punctuation).

The Chair Renters are individuals who seemingly have more financial resources then the "do-it-at-homers" but less than those who own a salon and, as the name implies, rent a cheap human hair extensions in a what seems to be a reputable salon. The Chair Renter creates an independent website and includes a statement like "Exclusive to Sally's Salon". This creates an impression that the extension technician is a member of the salon staff who has been properly vetted and is covered under the salon's insurance policy. Unfortunately, more often than not that is not the case.

The salon views renting a chair as a form of ancillary revenue and is happy to do so as long as they absolved of any and all responsibility for poorly applied extensions. While this arrangement is beneficial to the salon and the extension technician it does nothing but create confusion for the client as they lack most of the key criteria to evaluate a hair extension salon as the Chair Renter is piggybacking off the laurels of the salon.

Basically, the author is saying that with Micro Rings it is one size fits and it is for this reason that Micro Rings cause damage. While most people who have experience wearing Micro Rings know that not to be the case the author then contracts herself by attaching a picture (see below) which shows Micro Rings of varying sizes and weights which would be suitable for different densities.
In recent year cheap clip in hair extensions have become big business.

So much so there has been an explosion of people working from home. Google "hair extensions" and followed by your city you are likely to find a handful of legitimate salons offering hair extensions swimming in a sea of people offering a "professional" mobile extension service. These "do-it-at-homers'" create a lot of hardship for clients as it is extremely difficult to determine their legitimacy before spending the time and incurring the cost of a visit to their homes. Now a new threat has emerged for those to those looking for professional salon applied extensions- "The Chair Renters".

The rational behind this last statement stems from an article that was posted on a Chair Renter's website. The article was written by an extension technician that favoured glued extensions over Micro Rings. That in itself is not abnormal and normally would not have raised any eyebrows. What was different about this article was that it was so over-the-top and had obviously written to scare, influence and mislead the public into believing that Micro Rings damaged the hair.

This serves as proof that the article's message is false and further substantiates the claim that the Chair renter's motives are malicious. The Chair Renter is attempting to persuade prospective clients by feeding then false information not to choose Micro Rings and instead opt for her type glued extensions. Perhaps this Chair Renter is motivated by the fact she does not know how to install Micro Rings?
"I also think that the micro ring method is a unskilled method of extensions. the weight of each pre bond and ring has already been predetermined, however not every client will have the same hair density, so this would be completely unsuitable for medium/fine/very fine density hair."

The reality is that even if the author disagrees with the vast majority of the public that Micro Rings are generally considered by the market to be the safest extension technique on the market she has a fiduciary responsibility to present facts in an unbiased fashion. No reputable salon would ever dare present facts in such a reckless manner for the fear of legal ramifications so why do Chair Renters think they can.

Do they think that this type of behavior goes unnoticed?

The most obvious dangers that a Chair Renter presents are undoubtedly experience and quality of hair. However, prospective clients to a Chair Renter should also be wary of motive and misinformation.
