I went to the Balzano Co for my very first pair of hair extensions. The price was expected since you get what you pay for these days, but the lack of professionalism and clearly mediocre experience that their hair extension ""professional"" claimed to have was/and still is jaw dropping. First off, instead of braiding an entire row of hair (for the sewing technique) she braided about half an inch of little individual braids (about 5 in total around the crown of my scalp) and then sewed onto those pulling them across my head not even connecting to the next. Not only did this create individual pulling areas on my scalp, which were very painful, but it also left sagging parts where it wasn?t connected to any hair! Mary Sheehan then decided to take her ?22 years of expertise? and added not one track at a time, BUT FOUR! She claimed that it was because I had thick hair and wanted it to blend in. When asking her questions about this and ways to take care of it, she replied with short answers always appearing to have been put out of her way! FOUR tracks is supposed to be used for several layers, not all sewn onto ONE. After sewing 4 tracks to my head, she then asked if I wanted a trim to blend the hair. So sure, I thought it would be a great idea. Not so much. She proceeded with grabbing hunks of my long natural hair and took thinning sheers to it! So, now I have little hairs that stick up everywhere instead of the desired haircut which I wanted. And yes, I was still charged an additional $20 for that. If I didn?t take myself to another salon to have my hair looked at, I would have never known the mediocrity which flowed from Mary Sheehan?s hands and definitely would have lost my hair due to it. I highly recommend not going to see Mary Sheehan for extensions and definitely not for a haircut since she seems to think that thinning sheers are the best way to cut hair! \r
