Hi
I;m so glad you are happy with your intagrted system, each to their own but it would be far to much hair for me, maybe because i'm a little older :0)
the one myfriend had one from lucinda ellery was so thick and heavy,... must have changed in the last 2 years.
I understand everyone's concerns buying from internet company's but this company is good, I had mine delivered within 6 week, they were very helpful and experienced.
i would never pay more than £300 for a system, plus the cost of maintenence, come on it's datlight robbery, you paying for the fancy salons

HI
My hair is not thick!!!!! I never wanted it thick - they understood that and I can tell you I would have been very upset if they have given me more hair than I had asked for.
Yes your right, each to their own, sounds like your happy and I am happy so happy days!!!

Hi i had been considering a hair integration/volumiser system for three years. I went to Lucina Ellery in London, hair solutions in Manchester and Hair Transform by Dawn in Liverpool and finally plucked up the courage to have it done 9days ago. I chose to go with Dawn as i felt comfortable there with all the staff, she was very upfront with all the prices and what to expect.

I have long hair which is fine on top, deemed to be female pattern hair loss (although noone in my family have it), initially noticed it at 19 and i am now 29. I tried alcohol mousse, minoxidil, diannette, chinese herbal solutions, trichologist and his solutions, dermatologist and nourkrin. My best friend for three years has been fullmore and natural clip in extensions.

It took about 5 hours, my normal hair pulled through the mesh and extentions woven in, it is uncomfortable for an hour and when i finally saw the end product i was initially unsure. I felt it looked very full on top and concerned it looked like a wig. However it does settle after a couple of days, i returned back and had it washed 5 days later and had my fringe re styled i now really like it. If your like me i had a set style which i felt comfortable with and suddenly i have all this hair which takes some getting used to. My scalp has also only just stopped itching.

I have only had positive comments from men and women about my hair, even people i have never met before. I did not need to have my own hair cut as the extentions are longer than my natural hair. I would highly recommend Dawn and her team.

Good luck in your decision,
Kerry x

Hi Kerry

Like yourself I have been contemplating having a system for quite a while now, not quite as long as you. Do you live near Liverpool? did that help with your final decision? Trouble is I don't live any where near Liverpool or Manchester so they are really out of the question for me, just too far to travel.

I am glad you are now pleased with your new look, it must be a bit of a shock having so much hair after years of thin hair, so must take a while to get used to.

Will keep you informed of my decision.

Hi C,

I live in Wigan so Liverpool or Mancherter were the closest to me. I also read reviews from others about one in Birmingham which had positive reports, not sure of name though.

Well I have taken the plunge and had my system fitted. I went to LE and I can only praise them for the work they have done and the way I was treated.

It is a bit of a shock at first and I am concerned people will think I have a wig on, but hey I know it is not a wig and I feel a million dollars!!!

CXX :P

Hi Carol

I am so pleased you are happy with your hair!!!! That is such great news. Its a big deal. I am sure it looks great. They are all very nice at Lucinda Ellery - the studio is lovely I think. Maybe we will bump into each other some day while we are both having our hair done but anyway well done and enjoy!!

Annie ;)

I got an integration system fitted at hair solved nearly two weeks ago and whilst everyone says it looks good I am struggling to come to terms with it, desperatley want it off my head. Feel swamped and so restricted, takes hours to wash and dry and I hate not being able to get it swept back and tied up out of the way. Wish I'd never had it done, has anyone else regretted it and had one fitted and removed not long after?! I have been told my hair shouldn't have been damaged in the short time I have been wearing the system so hope to God it hasn't. Am going next week to see about restyling etc but asked about getting it taken off - a lot quicker than getting it put on apparently! Basically am I likely to have suffered more hair loss or damage in the short time it has been on? Help please!

Oh Milly - sounds like a nightmare. I am sure if you just get in touch with them and let them know your thoughts maybe they can change it a bit. You must be disappointed but I am sure they will be bending over backwards to try and make it perfect for you. Good luck.

Hi Millie,

It does take some getting used to but it does bed in. i wear mine up regularly, you just need to put your partin in when hair is wet or blow dry without.

Initially i wasn't sure, i actually cried when i got home,(which i don't think was the reaction they were expecting)and 7 weeks later i still get itchy scalp and haven't tried swimming incase the weight damages my natural hair. However it has given me a lot of confidence and i get complements about my hair now.

If you can stick it out for a few more weeks, good luck withyour decision
