Hello Angel, Yes you are a great candidate if your hair is long enough....Most clients (curly/wavy, custom curly) still get relaxers, only a small number stay natural....You can e-mail me (link below) if or when you want to have the service done.... hairbyvalencia@yahoo.com Thanks Valencia

Yes, you can relax & color your hair with the system in place.... Thanks Valencia

HELLO!!!! Merry Christmas, Happy New Year to all.... HOORAY!!!! And Congratulations President Obama!!!! I truly hope all is well with everyone....I want to thank each and everyone that has ever read this blog, called and/or emailed me to book an appointment and/or ask a question and most important sat in my chair....There is no me without all of you....Words can't express the joy that I feel as I reflect on the past few years....Sadly, I lost my MoM in August 2008 but I still feel her love and I know she is smiling down on me.... I also want to thank all the ladies that slammed my book for the Inauguration....It made me feel like I was somehow included and honored that you trusted me to make you more beautiful for such an important and HUGE event.... Last but not least I want to thank the ladies that continue to use my services after I moved to Virginia....I was so homesick for DC. but my die-hard clients continued using my services and every time I see one of them it brightens my day and brings a bit of DC to my door.... I look forward to working with existing and future clients.... Again THANK YOU!!!! And be blessed.... Valencia

Valencia's mother passed away yesterday August 14th 2008. This brave woman battled cancer and a heart condition. May she rest in peace. Valencia will edit this post when she has a chance as a better tribute to her mother then I ever could. Please everyone keep Valencia and her family in your thoughts and prayers at this time.

Hello Brianne, I am located in Laurel Maryland.... My e-mail....hairbyvalencia@yahoo.com www.hairbyvalencia.com Thanks Valencia

I NEED TO VENT!!!! Ladies PLEASE don't leave fusion bonds in your hair longer than 4 months!!!!I extend my pre-tipping services to my colleagues....One of my colleagues did a clients fusion extensions 9MONTHS AGO....Yes 9 MONTHS....The clients didn't go to her for maintenance or basics services but booked an appointment 9 months later for a removal....My colleague thought she was going to have a sew-in removed but to her shock the client still had the original fusion bonds in her hair....I have explained time and time again that your hair sheds on a daily basis naturally and when you apply extensions of any kind they prohibit that shedded hair from falling....If that hair isn't released in a timely manner it will matte and/or dread....My colleague was VERY concerned when her client finally returned because she had a hard time removing the bonds....I knew it was because the hair matted around the bond therefore making it difficult for the remover to reach the bond....This just happened today so I'm not sure of the outcome but I'm sure it will not be good....9 months of shedding, matting and not properly maintaining the extensions can and will cause damage....First, let me make it clear that I don't know this client so I can't speak for or about her but there are others out there that has done the same and blamed either the fusion service and/or the stylist and neither is to blame....The question I'm asked the most is about damage and my answer is always the same....Most chemicals and/or services don't cause hair damage, 95% of the time it's human error....PLEASE research and ask questions before having any service done and if there is any doubt in your mind that you can't comply when it comes to maintaining the service.... PLEASE DON'T HAVE IT DONE!!!! I truly hope that client takes responsibility for her actions or lack there of.... Thanks Valencia

You sure can Chante'....Fusion extensions don't have the restrictions that sew-in's tend to have.... Thanks Valencia

Hello Kristie, I did hands on training and took what I learned to the next level....I now instruct and expect nothing less from my students....I tell my students I can only give you the vehicle but it is up to you how well and far you drive it....If you are serious, patient, determined, and willing to work hard, learning the craft and success is yours.... Thanks Valencia

I would do the thermal (hot) method....And yes, if the hair is 100% human hair you should be able to color it once it is in place.... Thanks Valencia

I will call Carmen but I want to answer her questions for others.... The bonds are placed 1/8 of an inch from the scalp so you don't have to worry about your roots and yes you can comb through the hair without removing the bonds or the hair....The bonds are undetectable so if applied properly you shouldn't see them....Hair is left out around the edges to cover the bonds so again if applied properly you can't see them....Even if you have extremely thin edges I can work around that.... Thanks Valencia

Before and After photos below.... Hello All, I a offering a new and exciting service that I know will help many but I need to first tell you the inspiration behind this service....An incredible and brave young women e-mailed me in June of 2007 she told me her hair was thinning and wanted to know if fusion was right for her....She lives MANY miles away, so many that she had to fly in so I asked her to send pictures of her hair via e-mail for me to view....She sent pictures of the back and sides of her hair....Her hair was a great length and healthy in the back, her edges were VERY thin but I knew I could work around that so we booked an appointment for her to fly in and have the service done....She was a tad nervous (for good reason) and e-mailed me on a regular basis with questions about the service and thank goodness within that time-frame we developed a friendship....Once that friendship was formed she became more comfortable with me and eventually told me that she was also thinning on the top of her head....I instantly asked for pictures of the top of her head and determined that fusion wouldn't work on that area so we had to cancel her appointment....What broke my heart was she later opened up and told me that she had an idea that fusion wouldn't work so she didn't send pictures of the balding area because she was in denial....I HAD TO HELP HER!!!!I was familiar with lace-front wigs and partial lace-frontals but had just played around with them before now....I came to the conclusion that a lace-frontal would be perfect for her and I would do fusion bonds in the back of her head just to add a little length so she could have a little fun....6 months and MANY e-mails later (Dec 21rst) she had the service done and I can't start to explain the feeling that I had when I was done....I promise, no words can explain the feeling, AND This BRAVE, INCREDIBLE, UNSELFISH young lady told me that I could use her pictures (before and after) and said that she didn't want her face blurred or covered....At that point, I realized I needed to also (and most important) market what a GREAT person the good Lord bought into my life....I want to make sure that she and the world know the impact she has had on my life and that she is a BEAUTIFUL person inside and out....I also want the world to know that I'm almost double your age my dear but I aspire to be just like you....WHAT AN INCREDIBLE ROLE MODEL FOR US ALL!!!! Sweetie, I know the road that you have traveled to become who you are, I also know the obstacles that you had to climb....I just want you to know that you have self-awareness and self esteem that most of us either wish, dream or think we have....(myself included)....I just didn't realize until I was graced with your presence.... Thank You so much and know that you are truly blessed Valencia My E-Mail (click this link)

Rachel, please e-mail me.... hairbyvalencia@yahoo.com We will work from there.... Thanks Valencia

I use bulk hair because it is cut for the strand by strand system....Wefted hair tends to appear thin when you cut it off the weft so you need double in order to achieve satisfactory results....I pre-tip my hair in advance using the glue gun method....Please note, it took a year or two to perfect my technique....I had to figure out a way to pre-tip the hair and avoid air pockets that can cause shedding....I also like to use 100% Pure Remy Indian Virgin hair....The best advice I can give is proceed with caution, hands on training is the best way to go.... Thanks Valencia
