Do you crave long, voluptuous locks? Look no further than Houston’s own Mario Romero. He is a master trainer for the Balmain Hair line and the first stylist in Houston to carry their newest offering: the luxurious System Volume line of extensions.
This is the hair extension gun that is used to apply the Volumizers.
Many extensions take forever to install; they’re heavy and cause your natural hair to break. The Volumizer is lightweight and bonds to your hair (via infrared light) in 35 seconds. (If you’ve had extensions before, you understand…. This is a big deal!) The system spreads the hair evenly, and makes sure that each bond is unique so it blends perfectly with your natural hair. Thanks to Système Volume from Balmain Hair you can have a natural voluminous look in an instant, and it lasts three to four months. You can find Mario at the lab hair Studio, 3000 Sage; Ste 1157, Houston TX.
Or call him at 713-965-0025.

Here is how my hair extensions look.
Here is a picture of how my extensions looked on the first day. On this blog, I’ll chronicle the three months and see how the Volumizer holds up.
Five days later at the Mission of Yahweh Mission Incredible event.
Five days later: I waited as long as possible to wash the extensions. I’m very gentle when I do so. Mario said not to be alarmed, some of the extensions will fall out. None have fallen out yet. You use a special brush to tame these manes. When drying your hair, you can use a round brush on your tips. Here is a picture of my hair when I blow-dry it myself. Never, never as good as Mario, but not bad!
Week Two: So far so good. Extensions are holding up and I still really can’t even feel them. They are lighter than expected. Mario said they expand when they are shampooed, so I thought they might feel a little heavier. They don’t.

Week Three: Still going strong and looking good. I felt fabulous at the Centennial Symphony Ball!
Week Seven: This morning when blow-drying my hair, one strand came out. Seriously, after seven weeks… I’m astonished!!!
Week Eleven: I returned to have my color touched up. I love returning to the salon for a blow dry. It always looks the best when done by a professional. The next day, after attending a wedding, the second strip of hair fell out. For those of you who have had extensions before, you know this is incredible staying power!!!!!
Week Fourteen: The third strand came out.
