A couple of days ago I traveled to College Park, GA to shoot Rocko Da Don‘s meet & greet at the DTLR store. I wasn’t in the store 2 minutes when a male friend approached me and began running his fingers across my scalp looking for tracks.
I notice a lot of gay men do this. But I am always confident that when they touch my hair looking for tracks, they will never find what they are searching for. That’s because my bra strap length mane is made possible through a weaving process called invisible infusions.
It’s hard to find stylists in the Atlanta area who do Invisible Infusions. Leslie Leland of Hair Ex, whose clients include Porsche Foxx and Elle of V-103, does a process similar to Invisible Infusions called the “strand by strand” method.
Hair-Ex, based in the affluent Atlanta suburb of Sandy Springs, Georgia, provides top quality hair extensions for weaves. Founder and sole proprietor Leslie Leland launched the business nearly three years ago and today her pioneering enterprise is Georgia’s premier hair importer.
“We import virgin Indian and Malaysian hair from India and we retail it here in the states. I basically got into it for my colleagues in the entertainment business,” says Ms. Leland, who began her international human hair importing company while on hiatus from the music business.
Ms. Leland is the executive producer of Rissi Palmer’s (touted as the first African American female country singer) debut album.
Hair-Ex acquires the finest human manes from its cultivators overseas and does their own importing, which enables them to provide the best value for the highest quality. “I traveled over to India in December 2005, met with native exporters and studied the business,” she said. “When a customer comes in to our retail location we match their hair and they’re able to purchase it right then. On average our prices are between $350 and $900,” said Ms. Leland. (Source)
