New Dimensions Hair Extensions
By Darlene Washington

Going above and beyond hair services, New Dimensions Hair Extensions offers a few surprises.

Tammy Kelichner, CEO of New Dimensions Hair Extensions, considers herself more of a "hair-artist-doctor-person" than a hairstylist. Over the course of eighteen years she has acquired certifications in the areas of hair design, make-up artistry and wardrobe, as well as Naturopathy. Kelichner is excited to bring the knowledge she has acquired "to the table" through her business.

"I like to help individuals look and feel good and to achieve higher levels of self confidence,” Kelichner said. “It is gratifying for me to introduce my clientele to the latest in non-surgical aesthetic procedures and Naturopathy- hair extensions are sometimes the finishing touch. "

Kelichner utilizes the latest method for hair extensions called Eurolocks. This method has been available in the US for two years.

One of the advantages to going with this method is there are no chemicals involved in the process. The hair comes pre-bonded with a wax tip, is attached to the client's hair with a copper shell and he shell is clamped onto the natural hair to insure that there is no slippage or breakage. The natural hair is almost inside of the waxed hair extension strand, which is actually protects it.

The amount of individual strands used for a hairstyle depends on the style that the client is looking to achieve, natural hair texture and volume; with requests ranging from achieving a head of thicker, fuller hair to going six shades lighter without the use of chemicals.

New Dimensions Hair Extensions offers complimentary consultations. The prices for the actual service will vary depending, again, upon the look the client is going for and the level of difficulty based on their natural hair. The hair generally runs $4, $5 and $6 per strand. According to Tammy, the initial investment is around $1200-$1500 ("investment" is the operative word)- an average head of hair extensions includes roughly 250 extensions. The reason for such a high price is the quality of the hair. New Dimensions uses only European hair- this is due to the fact that European hair is the only textured hair that keeps the cuticle intact, which plays a key role in the durability of the hair.

The average "wear time" for the extensions is four months (with no shedding) and the hair is REUSEABLE. Because of this, one will need only to pay the labor cost when going in for an adjustment.

So, whether you want to add 20 strands of hair to the crown of your head in order to achieve a certain look temporarily or go the full gamut with long locks, fuller lips and a non-surgical facelift, New Dimensions Hair Extensions is your "one stop shop".
