I was a longtime Laced Hair customer
I was a longtime Laced Hair customer, but this experience has made me lose confidence in the company. I purchased $699.65 in Laced extensions, plus hundreds of dollars in professional installation costs. Within weeks, individual pieces began turning orange/copper while immediately adjacent pieces remained blonde, creating a very noticeable striped appearance. Laced replaced the first set, but the replacement developed substantially the same problem within approximately 6½ weeks. I have worn extensions for 5–6 years and have regularly used the same Jergens Natural Glow and Cetaphil face lotion during that time without experiencing this type of discoloration. Before Laced sent the replacement, I disclosed both products to them in writing. I was never specifically instructed to avoid avobenzone or told that continuing to use the products I had disclosed would void coverage. I went to considerable effort and expense trying to eliminate possible causes. I paid for a professional detox that did not remove the discoloration, spent approximately $260 on a ShowerStick water softener, and changed my hair-care products even though my hairstylist did not believe my existing products were the problem. When the replacement developed the same issue, Laced gave me materially different explanations. One representative stated in writing that testing of my original extensions found traces of avobenzone and that this voided my warranty. Another stated that Laced's CEO and GM reviewed the original extensions and concluded the discoloration was "most likely due to self tanner use." My Jergens Natural Glow does not contain avobenzone. Laced has never provided me with the actual test results, explained how the hair was tested, or provided documentation showing how the alleged avobenzone finding established the cause of the discoloration. They also have never received, examined, or tested the replacement set. My hairstylist examined the extensions and told me she has never seen extensions discolor this way and does not believe my products adequately explain the distinctive striped pattern. I don't claim to know with certainty what caused the discoloration. What I do know is that two sets of approximately $700 extensions developed substantially the same problem within weeks. I requested a full refund and offered to return the current extensions upon Laced's agreement to issue it. Instead, Laced refused the refund and offered me $250 in store credit, which I declined. After years as a customer, I am extremely disappointed with how this was handled and would not purchase Laced extensions again.

We were so happy to be able to step in and replace this beautiful set after it was damaged by self tanner. 💜 Friendly reminder that self tanner and hair extensions are not the best of friends! Always protect your investment and keep tanning products away from your extensions. Your hair will thank you! 💜
