Top Raleigh Salon Offers Great Lengths 100 Percent Natural Human Hair Extensions

April 28, 2010 (RALEIGH, NC) – The award-winning Samuel Cole Salon now offers Great Length Hair Extensions to their guests. Great Lengths is an excellent fit for Samuel Cole Salon. Great Lengths offers the highest quality hair, the extensions do not compromise the health of the hair that they are attached to, and they deliver unbelievably natural results. The quality of the extensions and the vigorous training required to master the technique makes Great Lengths the ultimate in extensions.

Great Lengths’ birthplace is London, one of the world’s greatest fashion centers. David Gold, founder of Great Lengths, had set himself the goal to develop a hair extension system as simple to use as cutting or drying. When in 1991 he had developed and patented the Great Lengths principle he had simultaneously discovered the first method of thickening thin and fine hair in a very simple way.

This invention set off a revolution in 1991. For the first time David Gold could offer hair extensions and hair thickening in one system. Great Lengths has become a sign of our times: men – and particularly women – have started preferring non aggressive technical solutions and natural products.
