It's Raining Beads!
Donna Bella Milan Sends April Sale-Showers to Clients
Park City, UT - April 7, 2008 – Everyone likes a good sale
now and again, and hair stylists and salon owners are no exception.
Donna Bella Milan president Derrick Porter recently announced their
Spring sale, "We are pleased to announce that for the month
of April, we'll be giving away one free pack of beads when a customer
orders online 4 or more packs of hair."
As spring and summer business picks up in Salons
industry wide, this could be the small incentive stylists are looking
for to help them save during tax time and considering the current
slow economy.
 February's
sale of Free Shipping was a success, and Porter noted that they're
considering making that a recurring offer throughout the year. Porter
said, "February's free shipping offer helped introduce our
product to a lot of people who were otherwise happy with their current
hair extension provider. We're happy to report that we've had a
number of these new clients become repeat clients and they've expressed
how happy they are with the high quality of our product."
A testimonial from the Donna Bella website (www.donnabellahair.com/testimonials.html)
noted, "I almost gave up on hair extensions because of my last
experience. This is the first product I have ever felt compelled
to review because it is just so good. People comment all the time
on how beautiful my hair looks...my faith in extensions has been
restored. I'd recommend this product to anyone."
According to Porter, testimonials like this sound
a recurring theme, "What I see is people recognizing our commitment
to a great product, and superior customer service. Those are two
aspects of our business we've worked diligently to stick to while
growing brand recognition, and the testimonials are a testament
to that work."
Through the entire month of April, customers will
receive one free pack of beads when ordering 4 or more packs of
hair from the Donna Bella Hair website. This is a web promotion
only.

Hair
Extensions - Not Just for Length
Easily and Instantly Add Haircolor, Volume & Texture to
Your Hair!
Mahopac Falls, NY Hair Extensions
… their commonly accepted name does not do them justice. Professional
hair extensions are not just for extending the length of your hair.
Hair extensions will instantly add exciting new haircolor and highlights
without the use of potentially harmful chemicals. Extensions will
easily build endless new volume and texture to your thin and lifeless
hair. The desire for beautiful volume and texture is evident with
the abundance of volumizing hair products, hairstyling tools and
professional texturizing salon services. They also allow you to
creatively express yourself with ornamental crystals and feathers.
Instead of creating the illusion of hair color, volume or texture
with these products and tools, another option is to actually add
them with professional salon hair extensions.
 Haircolor
is very popular today, with over 75% of women now coloring their
hair and a growing percentage of men following suit. Unfortunately,
most men and women today are unaware or uneducated to the benefits
of adding hair extensions for haircolor rather than using harsh
chemical dyes. For example, SO.CAP. USA Hair Extensions offers 81
unique haircolor shades in three different hair textures. With this
many options, you are bound to find a haircolor or highlight shade
that you just can't leave the salon without. With hair extensions,
there are no surprises. The best thing about hair extensions for
color is that it will not damage your hair, yet they will provide
you with the complete haircolor or highlights you've always wanted.
You can select your haircolor shades and blends, without any guessing
games.
Do you want more than just the normal haircolor or highlights?
Consider adding permanent or temporary fantasy haircolor, feathers
and crystals to creatively express yourself. SO.CAP. USA Hair Extensions
offers an array of fantasy haircolor shades; some including apple
green, bright yellow, pink, violet, orange and many more. Dual-tone
fantasy haircolor extensions are also available for those women
and men who want something extraordinary. Exotic haircolor shades
not enough? Try accessorizing your hair with feather and crystal
extension ornamentations. These are perfect for parties, weddings,
proms, upstyles, special occasions or just a fun night on the town.
SO.CAP. USA offers 18 different colors of Swarovski crystal extensions.
 Women
today are constantly trying to add endless volume to thin and flat
hair. We all want the voluminous, shiny hair like we see on the
Hollywood celebrities as well as on the television commercials and
billboards. This can easily and instantly be achieved by simply
adding professional hair extensions. You can choose to either have
a full head of hair extensions for maximum volume or have your hair
extensionist strategically place extensions where volume is needed
the most. You no longer have to try product after product to get
the results you want. All you have to do is find a SO.CAP.USA Hair
Extensions salon or professional hair extensionists near you and
tell them what you want. Don't forget that you can also add texture,
haircolor and highlights while adding volume with your new hair
extensions. The combinations are endless!
Hair extensions are the best way
to add hair color, volume, texture and length to your hair. The
application method SO.CAP. USA uses causes virtually no damage to
the clients hair, and hair extensions are an easier, longer lasting
alternative to chemical hair color products, harsh bleaches and
other hairstyling tools. Get the hair you've always dreamed of with
professional hair extensions. Ron Cardillo, president of SO.CAP.
USA Hair Extensions suggests, "Search the Internet or find
a reputable salon hair extensionist and hair extension product system
near you. Our salon hair extensions are bonded with 100 percent
keratin protein tips, the same protein your hair already produces
leaving no damage to your existing hair. Whether its length, haircolor,
volume or texture that you want, hair extensions are your hair dream
come true!"

Hair Extensions very
popular at the Salon & Spa Expo in Long Beach and Los Angeles
 The
Salon & Spa Expo from January 26 to 28, 2008 at the Long Beach
Convention Center showed the growing popularity of hair extensions.
The Beauty Revolution at the Los Angeles Convention Center was held
at the same time and both shows had many hair extension companies
who presented their products. The Long Beach expo was more glamorous.
We spoke with representatives from So.Cap USA, Donna Bella Milan,
Beauty West Services (Balmain Hair Extensions), Hairlocs, Cinderella
hair, Hairdreams, Paris Hilton's Dream Catchers and many others.
They all noticed the growing interest in their products.
Derrick Porter from Donna Bella Milan mentioned that compared to
last year almost twice as many people were interested in their products.
 Thousands
of beauticians and stylists came to the Long Beach and LA Convention
Center to learn more about the latest products that the beauty industry
has to offer.
After a first walk around the expo it was clear that the hair segment
of the industry had the biggest representation. All major companies
held classes and demonstrations of their products. Several stylists
showed new cutting techniques and created wonderful hairstyles.
The most attention however went to the different hair extension
companies. Thousands of stylists are aware of the growing market
and are interested in offering the service to their clients. Many
stylists want to offer more than one technique.
  Paris
Hilton was in Long Beach on Monday to give a press conference. The
Hair Extension Guide was there to report. The biggest news Paris
told us was that Dream Catchers will introduce a new line of products
in the near future and that they will introduce the Dream Catchers
to Europe at the Hair Show in Bologna, Italy.
After the press conference, Paris went to the Dream Catchers' booth
where hundreds of expo visitors had been waiting for her. She signed
autographs and many had their picture taken with Paris.
Conclusion: Hair Extensions are the "hottest"
items of the beauty industry.

Donna Bella Milan Announces
Sale of Popular Hair Extensions Line
Park City, UT (PRWEB) - Hair Extension boutique Donna Bella Milan
has announced the limited availability of the Kera and I-Link Grade
B 100% human hair extension line at prices far below market value.
 In
response to the dramatically reduced price, Donna Bella Milan President
Derrick Porter noted, "We've set the low price point as a special
offering for new stylists or those new to hair extensions that just
want to give it a try without spending a lot of money on hair. We
don't feel that there's a deal anywhere like it on the net."
Both the Kera and I-Link Grade B 100% human hair
sell regularly for $20.00 per pack. Porter confirmed that the sale
price, effective while supplies last, is just $8.95 / pack.
As with all Donna Bella products, each pack contains hair made from
100% human remy hair. Each pack includes 10 strands per pack with
each strand weighing a little over .50 grams per strand.
On the specific uses for this style, Porter said.
"We have brought Kera and I-Link hair extensions in for stylists
to use on clients with thin hair as well as for stylists who don't
want to have to purchase 25 - 50 strands per pack, which is typically
the average, as this dramatically increases the overall price."
This sale is on while hair extension supplies last.
This sale of hair extensions will be available starting
January 15, 2008 from Donna Bella's online store at http://www.donnabellahair.com/shop/html/Category-6-0.html

Natura's XO Synthetic Hair
XO Hair System from Qingdao, China introduces Natura's XO Synthetic
Hair, a new synthetic hair that is resistant to heat (up to
250°C or 482°F) allowing you to curl and style it over and
over again.
John Lee, spokesperson for XO Hair System says:
"It doesn't stop there. If we mix this super fiber with real
human hair, combining the top characteristics of both, the synthetic
portion becomes virtually undetectable as it blends in with real
human hair.
This is something you can't accomplish using just any synthetic
hair, as cheaper synthetic hair won't blend in as well but with
Natura's XO Synthetic Hair it's virtually undetectable.
Curls last longer because real human
hair follows the curls of synthetic hair, and naturally holds its
curls longer. In our test, after making curls at 180°C using
a curling iron, curl extension with time was observed. Human hair
started to lose its curl only after 3 days, whereas there was no
visible change with the curls in synthetic hair.
The price of real human hair is constantly on the
rise. So imagine paying half of what you would pay for with real
human hair, without suffering the benefits of having real human
hair.
Sure synthetic hair is still synthetic hair, and there will always
be those who prefer real human hair. But for those looking for an
alternative, this is a great solution!"

Dedicated ’colourist’
of fashion
Verlocke! Hair extensions match hair and fashion for the spring/summer
2008 look
 Bold
colours, stripes in your hair, coloured fringes... watch out for
more – this is the hair look for summer 2008. Anna Sui shows
in her spring/summer collection 2008 how the fashion-conscious can
perfectly complement, enhance or contradict the look of a gown with
colour in her hair. Hair turns into a fashion accessory in its own
right.
 This
new take on the colour of our hair is possible thanks to hair extensions.
Penny Roberstson, head of training at Verlocke!, sums it up: “After
all, there is no risk as there are no chemicals: they can stay for
months or be taken out the very next day to make way for something
new.” The colour doesn’t wash out and stays as bright
as on day one. As Penny said, chemicals damage the hair, therefore
no bleaching or colouring also means no more experiments with unsure
outcomes and longlasting consequences.
The new season shows purple streaks today and an
instant turquoise fringe tomorrow – colour accents make a statement
and put a smile on your face. Who says the handbag has to match
and hair has to be subdued? Rules are abandoned and make way for
more creativity and a more interesting and colourful life. This
is not about a fixed trend; this is about style in progress with
a lot of fun!
A palette of 18 statement colours for the fashion-conscious
can be found on www.verlocke.com. Verlocke! quality pre-bonded real
hair extensions are used by hairdressers but are also available
for D.I.Y. Verlocke! has now opened their UK webshop for orders
from the USA. Receive further information by sending us an email:
