Where does Great Lengths hair come from? This question is posed by women all around the world who are considering hair extensions and their ethicality. Most are justifiably dubious about the origin of the hair used fro the majority of extensions. Most companies cannot guarantee the origin, quality or traceability of their hair as it is usually purchased from a third party and not sourced directly by the extensions company. Great Lengths, however, offers the highest quality 100% real human hair that is 100% guaranteed ethical. Unlike all other extensions brands available in the USA, the company sources and processes every single strand, meaning they absolutely guarantee the origin, journey and treatment of the hair. Great Lengths hair is 100% traceable making it completely unique in the extensions industry.

Great Lengths source their hair from the Hindu Temples throughout India where the traditional religious ceremony ‘tonsuring’ is carried out. Entire families (men, women, children, grandparents) make the pilgrimage to the temple to have their hair shaven off as an offer of thanksgiving that is completely voluntary and often takes place before or after a momentous, joyful event.

The hair is then legitimately sold to Great Lengths and full time Great Lengths employees based in India ensure that the money which is given to the Temple is funneled directly back into the local community to fund medical aid, educational systems and other crucial infrastructure projects. Great Lengths takes every measure to ensure the sourcing, purchasing and processing of the hair are ethical and transparent. They are the only extensions company to employ full time team members, native to India, to ensure their exacting standards and ethical policies are upheld.

“I think it’s wonderful that my hair might be used in the west to make someone happy, why not? I have no need for is.” – Ms. Basu, Hindu Pilgrim

A staple of Hollywood glamour has just come to Washington DC. After successfully completing the Great Lengths training program, we are pleased to announce Angelica Anderson will now offer our valued Clients, Great Lengths 100% Human Hair Extensions.

Great Lengths International uses 100% human hair, collected from sacred temples in India. Referred to as “virgin” hair, this hair has never been salon treated. Indian women preserve their hair and offer it to temples as a religious ritual called “Tonsuring”. The temples then sell the hair and the money is invested back into the community. The importance of gathering temple hair is that it is platted before being cut, which leaves the cuticle intact and all the hair is facing in the same direction. ALL GREAT LENGTHS HAIR IS COLLECTED USING TRACEABLE AND ETHICAL SOURCING.

The introduction of Great Lengths onto the Roche Salon service menu now gives us the creative freedom to add length, volume and dimensional color effects that simply aren’t possible otherwise.

Great Lengths has graced the heads of Hollywood’s most elite style icons, including: Sienna Miller, Jenny McCarthy, Drew Barrymore and Charlize Theron.

Thank you all for your support and your patience. We cannot wait to be back in action!

Cross your fingers for us!

Unfortunately we are closed today at the Washington Harbour salon location. We are high and dry but unfortunately the power is out! We are optimistic for tomorrow but we cannot know for sure. Please check back for updates frequently!

Since our power is down, we cannot make, cancel or change any of our appointments at this time. All calls have been forwarded to the I street salon. We appreciate the calls of well wishes but instead just post here so we can keep our poor little I street salon’s phone lines clear!

Just watching this gets me all excited for next year…It’s gonna be even bigger and better than this year!
