As promised, I have posted pictures on my online photo ablum under Custom Textures.... Check it out..........Link below....... ONLINE PHOTO ABLUM Let me know what you think....I LOVE FEEDBACK.... Thank You Valencia

I'm sorry but I don't have anyone in your area at this time but Im working on it....I will keep you posted.... Thank You for your response Valencia I hadn't heard of this method before now but I must say I am impressed so far. I will continue to research this method and keep everyone posted. Thanks for the heads up.... Thank You for your response Valencia With proper care fusion will not damage your hair and yes you can swim with the system in place....I have several clients that enjoyed having fusion while on vacation, the wash and go textures are great for the summer.... Thank You for your response Valencia

Before I get down to business I want to apologize for all e-mail late replies and to tell all you wonderful ladies to be patient I will hit all e-mails as soon as I can. My mother had tripple bypass heart surgery and I needed to take some time off to tend to her. Thank You for your prayers and kind words, she is doing great and will be up and about very soon.... Now....while I was out I recieved a call from one of my colleagues. One of my former clients posted very negative comments on two message boards. The funny thing is that they were not consistant, at first I was concerned but after reading the comments I said to myself: What a joke....She said on one post that Bohyme hair shed, shed, shed, and that her vacume caught fire because the hair got trapped. In the second post on another forum she tells the same story but this time she says it was pre-tipped Remy Hair from Remy Hair Today she didn't mention my name but I am telling you it was my work, she also said the the hair was not embedded in the middle of the bond and I thought to myself, those comments sound familiar, and that is because they are mine, I can't believe she used my words against me and on a website that I am hated because I refuse to tell them the name of the products that I use. So which story is accurate? What bothers me is that she waited until I was banned from the hair boutique site before posting and that makes me wonder.... This is why you can't believe everything you hear or read no product or service is above criticism. She found me on this forum and I wish she would post her displeasure on this forum so it can be addressed, I have nothing to lose or hide and I have worked too hard to let such statements go unchallenged. I attached both of her posts below. On the bhm post I included the post above hers that mentioned Bohyme hair to make it clear that is the product in question, the hb post is clear. I uploaded the actual posts from the forums. check it out and tell me what you think.... Her user name is Carla From Va. I must say in her defense she did tell me that she was having some shedding and I gave her several fixes but I need to mention that each time she came in her hair was VERY oily, my instructions clearly state that no oils should be present in the hair before the procedure or fusion touch-up's but because she traveled so far I did the procedure and the fix anyway and even after she was an hour and a half late EVERYTIME, against my better judgement (Never Again)....My instructions must be followed TO THE LETTER for optimal results. I am posting this because I want this to be a lesson to myself as well as others. This is a partenership between the two of us, I can advise but I can't control what you do at home. Thank You Valencia black_hair_media_post.txt hair_boutique_post_2.txt

Hello Everyone, I hope all is well.... I just want to take time out and let you all know that I have a family emergency that I need to handle and will be out of town for about a week or longer. I will have my laptop with me so I will be able to check my messages but not as often PLEASE be patient and keep us in your prayers.... Thank You so much Valencia

I wasn't going to post this yet but I since you bought it up I had a major breakthrough this week. I have been working on custom texturizing the Virgin Remy Indian Hair and all my hard work has paid off I GOT IT RIGHT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I need to take time to THANK my natural hair sisters for keeping on me, you wanted it and it will soon be available. I will post pictures as soon as I get the chance, I will let you know when the pictures are available for viewing, I am so excited!!!!!!!! The hair looks like natural curly afro hair and when flat ironed it looked like I pressed it. It is no longer virgin hair because I had to use chemicals to change the structure of the hair but it is still Remy Hair, I was careful not to disturb the cuticle structure or direction, I am presently wearing it (I have washed it several times) and it has not tangled. Again I can't thank you ladies enough, you keep me on my game and that is priceless. Talk about having the best of all worlds......Ladies this is the perfect summer hair, natural hair or perfect if you want to give your hair a break from relaxers. I will keep you posted.... Thank You Valencia

Not yet but I promise to look into it for you.... Thank You for your response

Hello Kya, I sent a response to your e-mail but I also want to respond here to help others....I don't know alot about this method so I can't in good faith give a negative or positive response. PLEASE do a consultation before having this service done. Ask about hidden cost, maintenance, and removal. Ask them to SHOW you how they remove the extensions, from my understanding it requires knotting the hair and that makes me nervous. Keep me posted. Thank You for your response Valencia

THANK YOU LADIES!!!!!!!!!! Keep posting those replies and I will make it happen.........I am so pleased with the e-mail replies as well. I will keep you posted Again Thank You Valencia

Thank You Camille, I knew I could count on you and Belle you know you are the best!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Love Ya valencia

ThanK You so much for posting PLEASE, if you can hang in there without chemicals do it for a little while longer. We are working on Indian hair for our natural ladies....I'm talking a matter of weeks, we are testing a few things and I am VERY EXCITED!!!! I will keep you posted and post pictures as soon as they are available....I'm talking customizing the textures. We know if we do it you will still get the top of the line tangle-free Remy Indian Hair that we all love, and of course we will address and show our result at showtime.... Again Thank You Valencia

And as you know I only use that hair....I have spoken to Camille.... Thank You Valencia

Hello Ladies, I want to take the time to apologize to everyone that e-mailed and/or called me a few weeks ago and got a late response. Most clients know that I work pretty much everyday on some level and know that I try to respond to everyone within a reasonable time. Most important I want to THANK YOU for all the words of care and concern for my well being, I can't tell you how much that means to me. I caught some kind of flu that is going around and it knocked me off my feet....I couldn't move for three days. It forced me to step back, take some time off to take care of myself. It made me nervous because I rarely get sick and I can't remember the last time I caught a cold of any kind....Well I am back and I feel GREAT, ready to make up for lost time BUT smart enough not to over-do it this time....In other words, I will listen to my clients, family, and friends who has warned me for the past few years....YEAH, you told me so.... Thank You All and God Bless Valencia

E-mail me hairbyvalencia@yahoo.com and we will work from there.... Thank You for your response Valencia

Hey Girl, What a beautiful picture, It was my pleasure working with you. Ladies this is a great feeling, I feel as proud and thrilled as I did when I did my very first client, the gift that keeps on giving. I LOVE AND LIVE FOR IT!!!! Looking forward to seeing you again Ashley Valencia

To my fellow U.S stylist and/or Imposters, who has viewed or posted on that forum, The one point that they made that is correct is that the laws are not the same in their country....Please don't get caught up in that. In this country that kind of work leads to a law suit and for good reason. As much as I hate to admit, and although I am against it I must respect the fact that she did say and published that she tell her clients up front that she is not certified or trained on ANY haircare level. But that means she can use these ladies as test dummies and/or mannequins and get away with it, that actually takes the heat off her BUT it doesn't work like that here. We are held responsible for damages and/or poor service, (or in some cases we should) and will. I believe that everthing happens for a reason. That is why as much as this experiance bothered me, it was a GREAT learning experiance for me. I know what is out there, but this takes it to another level. They justify doing horrible work and hate anyone that call them on it, they feel justified because this is what they are use to. WOW!!!! how scary and unfortunate but VERY TRUE, BE AFRAID!!!!....These are the kind of people that destroy our business and make it hard for us all. Thank Goodness today most American clients do research and are too smart to put up with such unacceptable behavior....PLEASE get proper training or at least basic haircare training. Please don't allow this type of forum encourage you to take the lazy way out. You need to LOVE the business (not the money) Education should motivate you to the point that every tiny bit of information given should be a gem. The next step is to make that gem as brilliant as possible until you are blessed with the next gem, also keep in mind those gems are earned not given. Thank You Valencia

OH MY GOODNESS LADIES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You may be tired of me saying this over and over again but I must say it again. BE VERY CAREFUL!!!! I found a forum and started posting. I was asked a question about my distributer info and I told them that I didn't give out that information because I didn't want to be responsible for imposters using the products and destroying the clients hair, I can't stop it but I don't have to help them do it. Well that did it, I was the enemy from that point on. They HATED me. I explained to the ladies that my knowledge extends far beyond my distributer's info but they didnot want to hear that, all they heard was the imposter comment and I wondered why? Well, they first cut the thread that I was posting on and that was ok, I then found a thread that one of the girls (that dogged me) started. I now understand. This forum is for girls that has NO training and self-taught I didn't know that at first. She admitted that she has NO training (Not even basic haircare training) AND she proudly posted pictures of her work and it was BEYOND HORRIBLE!!!!!!!!!!! The bonds where not properly placed to say the least, and the other ladies told her it was good work. I COULDN'T BELEIVE IT!!!! I told the other girls if they where her friend they would be honest with her but you know that fell on deaf ears (birds of a feather and all) I did feel a little better when I found out that most of these ladies live in another country BUT there are a few American ladies posting as well. These ladies are using clients as test dummies and mannequins I WAS SHOCKED!!!! Needless to say I commented on the fact that training should be required (but was told it was not in their country) I then asked why they felt they where above the rest of us with training? How can you self-teach on a subject you know nothing about? And of course I got the imposters NO.1 response. This is not rocket science. LADIES if you don't know what you are doing it is rocket science, but of course in this case you got the blind leading the blind. My status now? I have been banned from the website (imagine that) but before I was banned and they cut my thread I noticed they cut the page that I exposed them for who and what they are, I told the ladies to grow up and get over it because I refuse to allow them to mis-lead you. I'm also sure that my final post where deleted. I want to take time out and again say, the work I viewed was not right. The bonds are not properly placed, this gives a stair step effect and there is no way this can be blended. LADIES THIS IS WORK WITHOUT PROPER TRAINING.... Just keep in mind if you just happen upon this site that there are alot of uncertified people posting (not all) but alot. The forum is: hairboutique.com (they don't justify a link) Thank You Valencia Online Photo Gallery

Hello Rosemary, The ladies in my online photo ablum are not bi-racial to my knowledge but all but three has relaxed hair. I use a very ethinic type of Indian hair that works well with African American relaxed hair. I have a several natural clients that I am able to match (kinky curl texture) and my natural hair is wavy so don't rule out fusion yet, I need to see your hair. Another option is a weave and my asisstant/student is one of the best as a matter of fact and to my suprise (because she didn't tell me) her work is profiled in the April 2006 edition of Sophisticate's Black Hair magazine (Mary J Blige dressed in red on the cover)....Seven pages from the back of the book on the right..Her name is Brandi Reniece. She is a great specialist and humble young lady. Email me if you want her information or to send a picture of your hair for my view.... hairbyvalencia@yahoo.com Thank You for your response Valencia

LADIES!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The popularity of fusion extensions grow daily by leaps and bounds so you need to be even more vigilant when choosing a specialist. Please ask questions about your concerns and study the specialist work, why should you pay to be practiced on, and don't allow them to rush you through your consultation. Keep in mind if you pay attention it is human nature for a person to reveal themselves if you push the right buttons. Make sure they are about customer service and not customer dollars. Make sure they are willing to fix any and all problems that may occur. The biggest problem I have with some so called specialist is they take your hard earned money with a smile and if you have a problem it is another story I see and hear it almost everyday and it breaks my heart. I have said this over and over again and will continue BUYER BEWARE!!!!!!!!!!! Don't over pay a stylist for sub-par work and let them get away with it. As many of you know I only offer fusion services, that is by choice. I have been in this business for MANY years and out of all the services that I have performed I love doing fusion the most. I have worked very hard to build my clientele, reputation and craft and that has afforded me to specialize in the service of my choice. Believe me most stylist work toward the same goal, that is what make a specialist. I only instruct certified stylist because not only do you need to try it all in order to know what you are best at but you also need a good foundation, when you realize what you are best at the next step is perfecting it. Some say that I have limited myself but I look at it as perfecting my craft. THANK YOU Valencia

I don't have anyone in your area at the moment but working at it, one of my goals is to put a student in every state....I recommend that you have it done by a specialist (NO POLYWAX) keritin protein bonds are the best and make sure the hair is top quality I have found that Remy Virgin Indian Hair is best, don't be fooled by stylist using Remy Hair not that it is bad hair but it is not the same, so please inspect the hair before application during the consultation. Thank You for your response Valencia

ATTENTION EVERYONE!!!! (CLIENTS AND SALON OWNERS) As many of you know Remy Hair Today is now offering pre-tipped hair (for fusion services and hired me because it is my specialty) mainly for salon owners and clients getting the service done but need to supply the hair....I did research on pre-tipped hair to check out the competitor prices and was SHOCKED to say the least. The prices were so inflated I felt sorry for the consumer. One website is charging $45.00 for 40 strands, I pulled 40 bonded strands from a bundle of hair that I pre-tipped for a client that is going to use my fusion services and it wasn't enough to do a fusion touch-up WOW!!!! and you are buying this? PLEASE don't buy hair by the strand it is a ripp off buy hair according to weight and remember it takes at least 8oz's of hair to do a full head (fusion extentions). also ask questions, make sure the hair is weighed before the bonds are applied because they add weight. I custom pretipp the hair I use (Remy hair Today) by hand for ALL my clients because I want to make sure they get the BEST quality hair and fusion bond, the feedback I get from my colleagues that have ordered pre-tipped hair in the past from these companies is awful....Either the bonds where too big, and if you try to cut them down they fall apart or the hair was not properly placed in the bond and sheds. I pre-treat, pre-tipp and inspect every bond to ensure the bond won't shed, and if you send us a picture of your or your special needs client's hair we will do custom bonds according to hair thickness and density and guess what? It is still less expensive than the competitor's mass produced one size fit all pre-tipped hair. I also noticed that the most asked question was can I re-use the hair and their answer is YES....BUT the pictures on the site was only wefted hair which is misleading because WHAT ABOUT THE FUSION CLIENTS?. Yes if you do a sew in weave the hair can be re-used but not fusion clients, even if you remove and reapply the same strands during your touch-up your style will change because your hair is not balanced because of growth, it is easier to use fresh hair and have your stylist re-cut the longer strands to match the pre-existing strands. Below you will find an e-mail link to order the pre-tipped hair, a link to view the quality of the hair and a link to view the hair after application. IF YOU HAVE QUESTIONS, NEED MORE INFORMATION OR WANT TO ORDER PRE-TIPPED HAIR CONTACT CAMILLE AT REMY HAIR TODAY (email link below) sales@remyhairtoday.com TO CHECK OUT THE QUALITY OF THE HAIR VISIT THE REMY HAIR TODAY WEBSITE (LINK BELOW) REMY HAIR TODAY WEBSITE TO VIEW THE REMY HAIR PRE-TIPPED HAIR APPLIED, click link below and click on the REMY HAIR photo ablum....
