Salon: Stylists are trained professionals and they sure know what they are doing.
Do-It-Yourself (DIY): DIY kits are originally designed for salon professionals to make their work faster and easier. You could possibly get the same result that is if you follow the instructions religiously.
Salon: They could blend and match the color of the hair extensions and your own hair appropriately. Stylists know exactly what colors to mix to get your shade right.
DIY: There are a wide variety of colors to choose that fits to your own liking.
Tip: If you can’t find a shade exactly like your own, choose one that is lighter. You can color them darker to match your own hair but you cannot go lighter in dying hair extensions. Bleaching or other methods of lightening them will cause dryness and damage your extensions.
Salon: You just have to sit-back and relax. The stylist will do the rest.
DIY: Reading is key. Read and follow instructions which are quite simple actually.
Salon: You could ask tips straight from the professionals. It’s easier to clarify concerns with proper care and maintenance.
DIY: Again read the manual. You can also google it and search for reviews and videos through the Interenet.
One more thing, in hiring a professional, you will have someone to blame for lousy results, but when you do-it-yourself, you only have yourself to blame! Just kidding!
A lot of DIY hair extension kits are easy enough for an ordinary person to use.
