Hi Robozzie,
I have had my hair done last September in
Icmeler (extensions) and to be honest, it wasn't great at all

Two weeks after I came home I went to the hairdresser to have them removed again!!! My story:
My hair was still quit short when I went on holiday. I wanted extensions for a while, so I asked a hairdresser in Icmeler about it. He gave me a good price and said my own hair was long enough to do extensions. He gave me a good price (€ 150,- for 60 extensions, colouring, haircut, washing, everything in the price). When I left the hairdresser I was still happy.
Next day I wasnt so happy! At the hairdresser they blow dried the hair in a way you won't see the extensions. But for me, to do it myself... impossible. And because they use an oldfashioned way of extensions (they glue it with little plastic tubes on your own hair), and my own hair not being long enough, you could see the tubes

Besides that it started itching like crazy!!!
I learned my lesson. Will not ever take hair extensions over there no more.
And please don't take me wrong here: it's gone be my 8th trip to Icmeler in September and every time I visit my second home I go to the hairdressers over there. They are really artists when it comes to colouring hair and cutting it. But no more extensions for me!
Hope this doesnt put your lady off... I think in England (as in Holland) the hairdressers are a few steps forwards when it comes to the hair extensions. Like in Holland you've got special strings of real hair tied together which you can attach to you own hair yourself and its just like a hairclip. But like you say: very expensive.
Hope you have a great time in Icmeler! And sorry if there's mistakes in my writing, I am from Holland as you might have noticed.
