Though we write about fashion all day every day here on FBD, we rarely touch on the subject of hair. I recently met Yummie, founder of YummyHair Extensions (YummyExtensions.com), and decided to ask her more about her brand and why you should definitely try out her tresses.
Yummie says, “I’ve always been a hair lover! I’ve always been one to wear hair extensions for as long as I can remember. I spent so much on poor quality extensions that had to be replaced every 2-3 weeks. My husband, a Finance professional, would complain bitterly about the amount of money I was spending on hair each month. The business started after I had my second child–I needed a career that would allow me to have a flexible schedule with having multiple kids. A lot of my family members would always refer to me for counsel when purchasing hair extensions. I was always the go to person for that. My mom was visiting at the time, helping with the baby, and she suggested I look into it. My background is in computer science and I worked in consulting. [The hair business] seemed like an unrelated career, but it was a passion of mine. I enjoyed hair and talking about hair, so I gave it a try.”
She continues, “My close family members were my first set of customers. We started on Facebook about 5 years ago. My very first non family member customer is still my customer today! She’s based in California. It grew from there. People had an interest in the product I was carrying. Every year, I would improve upon the product line. That was how Yummy Extensions was born..”
So what separates YummyHair from other brands? Yummie says, “Our hair is 100% virgin human hair. In addition to having 100% human hair, all the cuticles in our hair are aligned in the same direction. This prevents the tangling and matting you might see in other brands. And even though other brands might sell human hair, it may not be hair that will be long lasting. Another great thing about our brand is the amount of control we have in the production of our hair We have complete control from the beginning to the end. We weft all of our hair here in the United States. They’re neat, thin, flat, and the beards are cut short. There’s a lot of extra work that goes into the product we offer.” They also are known for their curly tresses (apparently finding great curly hair can be a daunting task).
She continues, “Everything we offer is custom made. And we have exceptional customer service. If you want to speak to someone or have inquires, there’s a number you can call to reach us immediately. We provide support to clients before, during, and after their purchase. It’s never a matter of you buying from us, and you don’t know what you’re going to get . It’s about integrity. We let people know what they’re getting and what they should be expecting.”
Because of the high quality of the hair, you can expect to pay $160-$250 per bundle. For the price, you can expect to keep your hair for 6 months to a year (Yummie has clients that have kept their hair for several years, depending on how they take care of it!). Did we mention Kelis is a fan?
