I signed up to this place not knowing number one that they are the most expensive company on the earth...and its so unecessary. Well, I got my consultation and the lady told me that no matter what I did my services were not going to go above $200. Ok, that was fine until the next visit (the one where my hair was being applied) did I then become informed that for a whole head piece (im losing my hair all over...what did they think i needed???) that it was going to be close to $400 plus supplies plus tip out (this is in a month). So, I gave in...I'm a woman that was losing her hair...did I have a choice?? Well, two days before I was supposed to go in for my application visit, they call me to tell me they have lost my hair!! Great. This is only getting better by the minute. So, I still went with it thinking I had no choice. So, they applied my hair (when it finally arrived). It was the most PAINFUL thing i have ever been thru. It interrupted sleep and just life in general. They mismeasured and my hair was way too tight. I had to live with it for 10 weeks. Very miserable!!! So, then I come back in for 3 more appt and on every appt they question the fact that I even had the appt. Does this get any better?? So, I came in for now my 5 or 6 appt, get sent to a room and left there for ONE HOUR. Finally I walked out and told someone and the only response I got was "We had no idea you were in there"!!! The office mgr came in and told me they had been working on others, that they were sorry and someone will be in. I left. So, finally the NEXT DAY they called to apologize. Nice. Im so flattered. Well, that was just my experience before cancelling. Now, lets talk about the hair. Its ok...on the surface but your scalp DOES NOT breathe. This is so unhealthy. This leads to itching and burning. The glue after so long takes on an odor. Try dressing for work or any other important function and smelling sour. Not fun. Also, by the second week the glue has let go and your hair is basically going to slide off your head. This is the worst place to ever go. Overpriced and underserviced. There are so many other places you can go. Just please reconsider going to this place. Before you sign your life away consider reading this first.

There are many fans in Europe, Australia, the US and even New Zealand. Music is universal and that's become obvious with the popularity of singers regardless of what country you live in and your nationality. Heck, music even breaks through language barriers. Rain has a lot of fans, both male and female; young and old. I believe this is mainly because of his dancing skills, singing skills as well as his acting ability. I've seen people claim Rain's not worthy.. but seriously.. if you see his performances alone you will agree that he deserves a top place.

I haven't watched the next top model before but From what i heard it's not filmed life like BB so i guess Amber will appearing in the next season (cycle10?) in the spring.
