Spotlight: Hair Loss Solutions at Sunny's Hair & Wigs

If you are suffering from medical hair loss or are about to start chemotherapy treatment, the wig specialists at Sunny’s Hair & Wigs have some helpful tips to get you started:

1.     Bring a supportive friend or family member.  If you are new to the world of wigs the whole process can seem daunting at first. 

2.     Bring photo references of styles you like and of your current hairstyle.

3.     Decide if you are looking for a more realistic wig or a few “fun” options.  Our wig specialists can guide you through the process.

4.     Don’t be discouraged if you don’t find a wig on your first trip.  This is a new process for you and you shouldn’t make a rushed decision.

Contact your local Sunny’s Hair & Wigs to set up a private consultation with one of our Wig Specialists today!

Sunny's Girls: A word on Hair Supply

Hi Sunny's Girls,

We don't often write a too the point letter to our devoted fans but we wanted to address our true hairnistas.  You know who you are... you can't imagine life without your hair extensions, you buy hair like some people buy groceries ( we could go on and on but we'll spare you because you know who you are).

A true hairnista knows that good hair is hard to come by. Not all bundles are created equal and some batches of hair are legendary  (you wore it for 3 years than lent it to your sister who then made clip ins from it etc.)  While others...you just don't love, it sheds a little more than you'd like etc.

So we wanted to give a word to the wise of our true Sunny's Girls.  Due to recent economic issues the supply chain for human hair extensions are very very tight!

Some of these factors include:

• Increased global demand for Remy Hair Extensions (especially from emerging markets like Brazil, and Nigeria
• Weakening value of US dollar relative to other currencies
• Increased working wages and worker's demands for rights in countries producing the hair ( China and India)
• Hair is a natural resource

These factors have put stress on many of our vendors recently. For instance, Bohyme Brazilian Wave has been out of stock for over three months with no end in sight.  Bobbi Boss by Indi Remy is out of stock of all hair textures until October. 

We ask of you that you be patient with us through these trying times for a hairnista.  We can work with to you to recommend backup products in case your old faithful is out of stock. 

We also recommend that you take better care of your hair extensions so that they last longer.  We recommending sealing wefts so that you ensure minimal shedding. 

Also...if you have a product that you love and can't live without and it is in stock: order more!  This way you have it as a back for your next appointment. 


But have no fear...the times will change!

New Product Spotlight: Le Prive Pre-Tipped Hair Extensions

 

We have been carrying pre-tipped hair extensions for a long time! A long time favorite brand at all of our retail locations and website was 909 and 808 hair extensions.  

A few weeks ago we were informed by 808 and 909 that in order to control the supply of their hair they were going to limit the markets that could sell their brand.  Sunny's Hair & Wigs retail locations will continue to sell 808 & 909 hair extensions.   Our website will not.

We were a little thrown off by this announcement to be honest.  We were left with a major project!  To find a new vendor of pre-tipped extensions that lived up to the color range and quality that 909 and 808 offers!

So after trying out several brands, vigorously testing the hair ourselves we have selected a new brand to replace 808 and 909 online:  Le Prive Pre-Tipped Hair Extensions!

A little on why we love 909 & 808:

• The keratin tips on Le Prive Pre-Tipped extensions are flat and hard. The keratin reminds us of Great Lengths tips.  This allows for the hair to stay in a long time and for the bonds not to get gummy over time.  It also sits really flat...so the bonds don't peek out (a la Britney Spears) 
• The I tip hair is super tiny. Which allows for invisible small micro beads!  
• The hair does not look over processed.  
• The blonde colors are still ashy not to golden or strawberry
• It is available in Body Wave and Silky Straight in 16, 18 and 20"

The prices start at 129.00 for 16" which is great!  The packages contain 100 strands which allows one pack to do a full head of extensions.  They also retail small packages (highlighter packs or maintenance packs)  that have 30 pieces starting at $60.

So... if you are looking to replace 808 online try the Le Prive Pre-Tipped Extensions

Looking to replace 909 try Bohyme Pre-Tipped Extensions

OR... consider trying our best selling pre tipped hair which is Virgin Indian Hair.

We would also love to hear your feedback on our new product! 

Sunny's Atlanta Grand Opening: September 22nd 6-8 pm

We are so excited to celebrate our new digs in Buckhead!  Please bring your friends be ready to walk our pink carpet!
