Hair extension Rock

by debbie drury

I am a business owner and thought i was way too old for hair extentions. I have BAD hair, frizzy, curly, you get the idea... My daughter got extensions after being referred to Mark. They decided i needed them, and i felt stupid, as a 40+ getting extension. This is my third year and I cant even see myselft without them. I went from 1 hour in the AM of getting ready and then being disapointed with frizzy hair later in day, to 5 minutes in the morning and everyone saying how good my hair looks. Mark has literally changed my Looks and made hair easy. he is the BEST 5 stars to Mark he is truly the best.....

• Pros: mark is FAST and understands time=Money
• Cons: i See NONE

Mark Cortez is writing is own reviews!!! WTF!!!!

by Tgirl

First of all, after reading these so-called reviews, I assume Mark Cortez is writing them himself, because nobody in their right mind would say anything nice about him. I had two appointments with him, and during both all he did was tell me how "cool" he was and try to impress me with his suaveness. I'd like to know where it is as I missed it. I could care less if his work is okay or not. I find it incredibly stressful to sit down and have to listen to someone tell one lie after another and try to impress me. Mark, you are not good looking, you have a lousy personality and nobody thinks your hot in any way with your fake white veneered horse teeth. Forget this loser!

• Pros: Interesting to see how many lies he could tell
• Cons: This guy is a total waste of a human!

Hair by Mark....The Best

by stacygrimes

I struggled to find a new hairstyle after having a baby. My hair is fine and thin & I felt like it stopped growing with all the hormonal changes after pregnancy. I went for a consultation with Mark and he gave me guidance on length and color. My extensions arrived really fast and I had another appointment where he put the extensions in. Mark did an excellent job and he was really fast. My "new" hair was fabulous!!! I have gotten so many compliments in the 2 1/2 years that I wore the extensions. I recently took the hair out because my natural hair has grown out alot. I had no damage and my natural hair is very strong and healthy. I have no doubt that it is because Mark uses a great product (Great Lengths) & he is very experienced. I can't say enough good things about Mark. I will definitely get extensions again in the future and I wouldn't think of calling anyone but him.

One word: NEVER AGAIN!

by Barbieluv

Well, first I talk to this guy who is so rude, so ignorant, so totally arrogant that he turned me off. Then, because my regular person is gone from the country, I use him for some extensions and, let's just say, never again! His work is okay although not even close to what I am used to, so that alone is enough to never go back even if he was a decent person. But this guy is such a lying loser, is such lying know-it-all that he is a total bore to be around. Bad enough I had to sit there for such a long time as he takes to do the work. It was gruesome listening to him yammer about how wonderful he is (and on and on and on) when you just know this guy is a total loser. Oh! and if you want to hear someone who lies, lies, lies, well, this is the guy. Don't you dare believe anything from this fool including the words "and" and "the." Total complete loser who does mediocre work, but, he's a legend in his OWN mind (just ask him). In a word:

Mark of Hair by Mark, Hairdresser/Insecure man/Total Liar

• Pros: He's available, girls, if you want to listen to his ego-puffing and lies
• Cons: Do I really need to tell you again he lies? And tries to make himself look good?

Best hair extensionist!

by TDawn19811

Best hair extensionist I've ever had! I have been getting extensions for 10 years now and I damaged my hair recently from highlights. Mark was so nice and personable. He matched my hair color perfectly, I have honestly never had anyone match my unique hair color this well, and fit me into his busy schedule as soon as he good. He really cares about his clients and their best interest. Not 5 minutes after I left his salon, I was getting compliments from random people on the street. He does a great job and out of the dozens of hair extensionists that have done my hair, he has done the best job! Mark goes above and beyond with all of his clients! I would highly reccomend him to all my friends!

• Pros: Mark's skill, enthusiasm for what he does and his fun, outgoing personality
• Cons: none

AWESOME

MARK'S THE BEST

I CAME TO MARK WITH AN APPARENT HAIR EMERGENCY. I WENT TO A PLACE A COUPLE OF MONTHS BACK THAT FRIED MY HAIR..A PLACE THAT WAS BY MY GYM AT DAIRY ASHFORD AND WESTHEIMER. I CAME OUT WITH TREMENDOUS BREAKAGE AND A BAD COLOR. I HAVE ALWAYS WORN MY HAIR LONG AND WAS THINKING MAYBE EXTENSIONS. I WAS'NT ABLE TO AFFORD THE COST OF THE PROCEDURE. MARK LOOKED AT MY HOPELESS HAIR AND SAID I DID'NT NECESSARILY NEED EXTENSIONS. HE GAVE ME AWONDERFUL LONG LAYERED CUT. HE KEPT MY LENGTH AND WAS ABLE TO CUT A HUGE AMOUNT OF THE DAMAGE OFF . HE ALSO PUT IN HIGHLIGHTS TO FIX MY COLOR. THIS MADE MY HAIR LOOK MUCH FULLER. I LOVE MY HAIR. I CANT REMEMBER THE LAST TIME IT LOOKED THIS GOOD. I HAVE READ SOME OF HIS REVIEWS AND I DONT BELIEVE HE HAS AN ATTITUDE. HE IS AN ARTIST AND WHEN YOU ARE THE BEST IT IS EXPERTISE NOT ATTITUDE. HE WAS ALSO ABLE TO FIT ME IN TO HIS VERY BUSY SCHEDULE. I AM A RESERVE FLIGHT ATENDANT AND ONLY HAVE 11 DAYS OFF A MONTH AND ON MY OFF DAYS I TAKE CARE OF A CHILD WITH A HEART CONDITION. I TOLD HIM MY DAYS OFF AND HE FIT ME IN. HE IS THE BEST. I RECOMMEND HIM TO EVERYONE.

• Pros: GREAT JOB
• Cons: NONE

Amazing Service, Amazing Hair

by jenn1058

I came to Mark Cortez because I could not take it any longer: I have always had very fine hair that refused to grow past a certain length. Moreover, my hair was damaged and frayed from years of bleaching. It was a mess. After researching hair extension options, it was clear to me that the Great Lengths system would be by far the best choice. Great Lengths hair is of the highest quality and the application causes very little damage to my natural hair. It looks incredibly natural.

I feel very lucky to have found Mark because he is an expert. To him, styling beautiful hair is an art form. What?s more, he works fast and efficiently. I have gorgeous hair that is also professional enough to fit into the corporate world. No one would ever know that I had hair extensions- they just think that I have beautiful, healthy hair.

Mark always treats me with the utmost professionalism, but I feel so comfortable with him that we?ve become friends. I would highly recommend Mark to anyone who longs to have sensational hair.

Misled me, Fraud, Criminal.

by smosmo

I went on 2 other consultations before calling Mark. I always do lots of comparing and research. I was initally impressed with his website, but was thoroughly turned-off by his attitude. Very arrogant and talked HORRIBLY about other stylists. He fabricated so many lies about one stylists that I felt I had to tell her myself because I knew (since I had met her) that there was no way the things he was saying were true.

Apparently, I wasn't the first to hear an earful of junk from him in efforts to steal clients from other people who are fairly competitive. From what I was told, this "other" stylist caught wind of his lies and recorded him talking badly about her on the phone. If he hadn't stooped so low trying to win my business, I may have gone with him- but I felt that it showed alot aboout his character and he just didn't strike me as an honest guy after that.

Nice to see that other clients were happy, not that I would need his help ordering a bikini (felt like he was staring at my chest the whole time to begin with) but his business ethics stinks.

I think I'll stick to short hair for now, I'm just not that into drama, rumors, lies, and conspiracies to mislead customers that are paying big bucks.

• Pros: good website
• Cons: poor attitude and ethics, dishonest, actually criminal
