The processing time is the amount of time that passes from the day that you pay for your order until the day that we ship it. Processing times do not include the amount of time that your order spends in transit once it has been shipped. Your order is subject the processing time posted on the front page of the website at the time of payment. If your order contains items with different processing times, then the longest time is the one that applies to it. If you pay via cash or money order, the processing time that is posted when we receive payment is what applies to your order; NOT the processing time that is posted when you place the order itself. After that, domestic shipping generally takes 2-3 business days and international shipping takes about 7-10 business days. However, shipments may take longer during heavy volume (like holidays), and international packages may be held and inspected by customs before being released for delivery. We also offer expedited shipping for an additional fee. If you are interested in faster shipping, please fill our our Rush Processing Request form.
If the order has already been paid for, but has not been shipped, please contact us from the e-mail address that you placed the order with and let us know that you'd like to cancel. Please include your order number in your message. If your order contains any custom hair items and we have already begun working on them, we will subtract the cost of any wasted materials from your refund. This also applies to any Premium Wefts; if we have already cut the section of weft, then you will not receive a refund for it. If you order has already been shipped, then you cannot cancel it.
You can also fax us your license at (650) 362-2336. Please make sure to include your e-mail address; we will not set up an account without a valid e-mail contact. Wholesale pricing is available for licensed retailers only. If you are not a licensed business, do not ask for a wholesale account. Your request will be declined.
Apparel: We do accept returns on select* Apparel provided the garment is unworn with all tags and packaging intact. Returned Apparel orders are subject to a 15% restocking fee. Refunds for returned Apparel cover the cost of garment only; any other products in the order, shipping charges, insurance, and customs fees are non-refundable. We also accept exchanges if sizing is an issue. The customer is responsible for any shipping charges incurred when an exchange is made. In order to return or exchange a clothing item, you must notify us within 7 days of receipt of the item and return it to us within 14 days of receipt of the item. In the event that a clothing item is returned to us late, damaged, worn, or without tags, we will not issue a refund and will return the item at the customer's expense. *We do NOT accept returns on intimate apparel. An item is considered 'intimate apparel' if it includes any undergarments. For example, a bustier would not be considered intimate apparel, but a bustier that comes with a matching thong would be intimate apparel. If the ability to return an item is a concern for you, you can request that any matching undergarments be removed from your order prior to shipping.
This applies to cyberlox as well; we oftentimes do not use the manufacturer's names for colors, so the name on the color chart will not always match up to the name printed on the bag that you receive. If you need to know the exact brand name/color name as given by the manufacturer, it is your responsibility to contact us BEFORE ordering.
Your order is subject the processing time posted on the front page of the website at the time of payment. If your order contains items with different processing times, then the longest time is the one that applies to it. If you pay via cash or money order, the processing time that is posted when we receive payment is what applies to your order; NOT the processing time that is posted when you place the order itself. Rush processing is sometimes available on a case-by-case basis for 50% of the value of any custom items in the order, plus any extra charges for expedited shipping. Please check the processing times listed on the front page to see if rush processing is available; if it is and you are interested in rushing an order, please refer to our rush processing request form.
For items that are NOT custom-made, rush processing is available as long as everything in your order is in stock. The 50% fee does not apply to such orders, however any expedited shipping charges do still apply.
Sarah Giaconi PO Box 1236 Belmont, CA 94002 Please make sure to put the sample in a plastic bag and include your e-mail address in the envelope. When we receive it, we'll match it up and let you know what comes closest. If you would rather see the colors in person, you can order color samples for $1.00 per three colors (so 1-3 colors would cost you $1.00, 4-6 would cost $2.00, and so on). Please use the shopping cart button below to purchase color samples. Samples are available for kanekalon bulk hair, kanekalon silky, and toyokalon. Samples are not available for other products, sorry. 
When I Kick Shins first opened, we sold dreads at EXTREMELY low prices. We were able to do this by sacrificing quality; if your dreads fall into that low price/low quality category and you send them in for repairs, we will do everything we can to make sure that they come back to you looking better than they did when they were brand new :)
If you would rather save a little cash, you can also repair them yourself. Dread, braid, and twist falls can all easily be dismantled. Just cut the elastics and pull the hair off. Each dread/braid/twist is made individually before being mounted, so they can withstand being pulled apart from each other. Once you've got them taken apart, get a new elastic and loop the hair over it again. It should be pretty self explanatory how to do so once you've taken them apart and seen how they're attached. As for loose falls, we cannot stress this enough: BE CAREFUL WHEN REPAIRING THEM! The first thing you'll need to do is remove the rubberbands around the fall that create the little nub at the top. Then hang the fall over something (towel racks are great for this). Once you've got it hanging up, you can remove the original elastic and put a new one on. If you fumble with it and accidentally drop the hair, the towel rack (or whatever you hang it over) will be there to keep the hair from falling in a tangled, irreparable mess on the floor. Then put rubberbands back around the top and you're done!
Run your falls through water with some diluted shampoo if they become dirty. Do not use conditioner on them; it will build up on the hair. Let your falls hang dry when done. Wait until they are *completely* dry before you try to brush them. These washing instructions apply to loose, dread, braid, and twist falls. DO NOT WASH CURL FALLS OR THEY MAY LOSE THEIR SHAPE!
Tutorials page - Our own collection of original tutorials. Hair Extensions Forum - A forum for all things hair-related, including lots of helpful tutorials and a critique section where you can get advice on how to improve your work. This site also hosts and archive of the old Heavenly Hair Forum. We post there under the username "ikickshins." Quinnster's Hair Guide - The original resource for alternative hair extensions. This site hasn't been updated in a while, but the tutorials are all still very helpful and the picture galleries are great for inspiration. Dread To Be Different - If you're a member of VampireFreaks, make sure to join the Dread To Be Different hair cult -- home to a wide array of tutorials that you can't find anywhere else!

Our Kanekalon Jumbo Braid, Kanekalon Silky Straight, and ShapeShifter Monofiber are all suitable for dreads. The ShapeShifter will need to be sealed longer and more thoroughly than the regular kanekalon because of its high resistance to heat, but once it is sealed it will hold the dread shape very well. Our 100% Synthetic PP Jumbo Braid and our Toyokalon Yaky Pony are not suitable for dreads. They are not made from kanekalon and they will not react to heat in the same way that kanekalon does. If you try to make dreads from either of these products, they will unravel very quickly and easily. The 100% Synthetic PP Jumbo Braid and Toyokalon Yaky Pony are primarily intended for braids. Toyokalon is also good for loos hairpieces and falls, but it is not durable enough for extensions. We recommend using the ShapeShifter Monofiber for loose extensions.
Generally, our credit card processor does not accept Visa gift cards because they do not have a billing address. We also cannot accept debit cards unless they are also credit cards. If you have to use your PIN number to buy things with your card and cannot run it as credit, then it is a debit card.

- You typed your name or billing address incorrectly. You must give these EXACTLY as they are printed on your credit card statement. That means, for example, that if your card has your middle initial on it or if your zip code is hyphenated, you need to include that in the billing address. If you think this is the problem, let us know the correct address and we'll try running the card again. - You made a typo when entering your credit card number, expiration date, or CVC number. You will need to place a new order if you think this may have been the problem. - You are trying to pay with a debit card that does not also serve as a credit card. Some debit cards also work as credit cards, but some only work as debit cards. If you have to use a PIN number every time you make a charge to your card, it is a debit card. Got a question that's not answered here? Feel free to ask!
