I got hair extensions done in Cork a week ago and im really happy with the results.

I was using high quality human hair clip-ins for the past 2 yrs and it was wreaking my head clippin them in every day despite the fact that I used 2 sets and they wer really starting to pull out my hair so i decided i mite aswell try the semi perment ones.

I got them done by Asmara Extensions a woman called Jackie did them in a home salon in Blackpool...she randomly added me on Facebook a few weeks ago and they looked really good so i decided to go for it.

I wanted them really long and really thick as i av really crap thin hair naturally and they wer only 350euro for a full head of 100% human Remy hair (which is supposed to b the best) which she applied using the keratin wax strand by strand method. She can do various methods but she said that this was the best and most low maintenants and @ 350euro it was so much cheaper then anywhere else so if ur spending money on extentions anyway i would recommend this method coz its very good value and they are supposed to last for approx 4mths.

The whole thing took about an hour and a half which was really quick i though and she can also use mutiple colour hair to either blend into ur existing colour or give highlights etc. I have only had them for a week but so far they have bn really easy to manage..u can wash,blow dry,curl and strighten them and they quality of the hair is excellent. The only fault i can find with them is that the bonds are quiet big and although light weight they can b visable if ur not carefull wit how u style ur hair so i would recommend askin her not to but them in the very very back of ur hair like i did so u can tie it up with out the bonds being seen at the back! However i think my bonds cud b bigger than average as i wanted them really thick so she applied the hair in 1gm sections as opposed to the average 0.5gm.

She has two websites...asmaraextentions.com and asmaraextensions.net (best one) and shes on facebook too but ul find it easily if u google hair extensions cork.

Ok hope that helps..judgin by the lenght of this i must have covered everything but feel free to ask me anything i mite of left out!

I travelled from Galway to get them and il DEF be making the trip again!

Sounds like you had a good experience with Asmara but mine was not so good. I agree. My bonds were so visible and chunky also and I had to get them removed by a professional who said they were not as smooth as they could be and were sharp in places. Mine were so close to the root that i have lumps all over my scalp where they were applied and they were so sore to sleep on.
I've had bonded extensions in several times and I found the quality of the hair used by Asmara very poor in comparison. She claimed to be using the 'finest Remy hair' but it was fuzzy and bushy in comparison to previous bonded ones and even my clips ins I have here.
I was very upset when she was done but she got very defensive and said that was what they always look like. (I was unhappy that she didnt do a good job to blend them and so many were visible.)
I would advise against using Asmara as the quality of the work was not up to the same standards of the previous professionals who put them in for me before.
I would recommend-
www.hairextensions.ie
www.hairport.ie
You get what you pay for but I would say that the quality of service and products are not worth the money even if it is slightly cheaper than others.

I travelled down form Dublin to Cork to Asmara and had a very bad experience. It's worth paying for good quality extensions, believe me. I have had extensions for years and have found the standards of not only the work and 'skills' but also the hair to be really poor. I had mine removed immediatley by a professional so it was a complete waste of time, petrol and money!!!
Please do your homework before you part with your money and inspect the hair first if possible. Also remember that it will be bonded into your hair for a long time so it has to look the best so you feel good.
Best of luck!
